Stevens Comedy Combination appeared
in Don Caesar de B5zan before an appre-
ciativs audience, Tonight the Two
Orphans will be presented with new an.
polntments, scenery and effects. The
Two Orphans is a very attractive play,
and became very popular in this city,
owing to its elegant and attractive pre-
sentation by the Furnish Dramatic Com
pany last season. The play will be well
mounted, in the most attractive manner.
We opine the Stevens peopts will present
the play in excellent style, aud will at.
tract crowded houses nightly. Tho Two,

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

That certain men in this city are so
hard pushed for choice Of words to ex-
press their meaning, in advertisements,
that they have debased themselves SO
low by imposing upon the public the
words Everybody knows it" as their
own invention; consequently when
business men are so addle-brained as
not to be able to furnish their own
words for advertisement l must allow
them a little scope for their want Of
brains by letting them use my words for
advertising everybody knows it." The
answer for everybody knows it" will be
out in a few days.

more dis~gracefully. Our police should
have made a score Of arrests upon that
occasion.
There are hundreds Of Democrats ia this
city who denounee Porter's coupon-pay-
ing scheme and allege his general unfit
ness for the Office Of Governor, yet they
will vote for Porter because they say they

they add, were it an off year 10 politics

dent Of an accident.
Mr.. S. w. MATHS, who shot at Owen
Trainor an intoxicated individual who
attacked bin on Saturday last on Second
street, near Madison, was h%onorably
acquitted by the Recorder on Monday
on the charge of shooting with intent to
kill. Mr. MATHS was fined for carrying
a concealed weapon, but the weapon no
doubt protected him from being beaten
most numerically by his assailant.
Carrying a concealed weapon is a good
thing sometimes, Notwithstanding the
legal penalty imposed for so doing,
We understand that at the public
meeting to be held at the Greenlaw Op-
era House on next Friday night Messrs.
Stewart, Peters and DuBose, Legislative
candidates, will rise and explain their
positions upon a scheme proposed by a
few sharp ward politicians to change
the law creating the Board Of Police and
Fire Commissioners so as to deprive the
Commissioners Of nearly all power over
the Chief Of Police and Fire Depart
ments. The people Of Memphis oppose
any change, but corrup! ward politicians
desire it for political aud dishonest pur-
poses.

A Worthy Tennssseean iu nt,s,s-
sIpol.

sippA.
We see from the Mississippi papers
thst our brilliant young friend Henry M.
Loewenstine, Esq, is doing good service
for the cause Of Tilden and Hendricks
in that State. The Okolona Southern
States contains a synopsis Of a speech
that he delivered at the ~eonrt.house in
that city recently in the presence Of
the largest, most select and most fash.
iOnable audiepes that has assembled
there since the opening Of the present
campaign" The local report says:
The delivery Of Mr.. L is remarkably
hue-possessing the grace of gesture.
the deep, rich voice, the magnetic pres.
ence OF a finished orator. But it was
not these merits-high and unusual As
they are-that most attracted our atten-
ton to HE splendid effort; it was the
mastery logic-close, clear, concise-by
which he welded his speech together,
following up one unanswerable argument
with another equally ~irreiutable, and
combining them together-from begin
mag to end-like the links of aa unbro.
ken chain. No assertion was made that
was not backed up by facts ead figures.
taken from documents that could not be
disputed, or combatted by any special
pleading or ad csptandum appeals 10 the
emotions. Law, statistics, State trials,
public uttersuces of the enemy, quota
tons from the Blue books 10 the govern
ment archives-all these and more were
called in to ~substantiate this magnificent
indictment of the enemy.
The audience testified their apDrovsl
OF his speech by the most wrapt atten-
ton, save ever and anon when carried
away by the eloquence of speaker. they
broke out into round after round Of ap-
plause.
This is nothing more than we would
have expected Of Mr.. Loewenstine. An
original Union man, he Joined the Con.
servative and Democratic cause, aud
performed valiant service, while Tonnes
seeans were as yet distranchised; and
he came within a vote or two Of being
nominated for Congress soon after the
war, when he was really ineligible On
account Of his age. Soon after that, the
people were about to make him Mayor
when a bill was engineered through the
Legislature prohibiting any one under
thirty years Of age from holding ire
office. This shut him ont Of q place he
never sought. Eight years ago be per.
formed splendid service for Seymour and
Blair. We would be glad to have him
here in this campaign, but as he is some-
what identified with Mississippi lately
we suppose he feels like remaining tnere
until after the election. We congratulate
the people of our sister State upou Sc.
caring the services of such a jealous.
able and whole-sVuled Democratic speak.
er as Henry NJ. ~Loewenstine in this i'm.
portant canvass. Hei a man of culture.
OF deep convictions aud candid utter
ance. We only hope his interests aud
%inclinations will soon bring him back to
Memphis.

The Indian summer.
0 PERTH,
1856 Main street.

We are now experiencing the pleasures
Of that very peculiar sutumnal weather
which old settlers call Indian summer,
which balmy season precedes that other
season called Squaw winter. Indian
summer is a short, bslmy period, sard.
wiehed between the first frosts of fall and
the sharp blasts of winter. In this lati'
tude for many days past our Indian sum
mer has sustained its ancient reputation.
There is a singularity in the atmosphere
at this season. The sky is blue, the air in
general is clear, but there fingers about
the horizon a sort of haze which affords
material for the Imagination of poets to
work upon in their efforts to peer beyond
the limits of things. The Indian sum.
mer is a delightful time in the country,
and fortunately it is a healthfal one both
there and in town. The early frosts have
checked malaria, and open-air exercise
is inviting. October and June are the
two healthies: months in the year.

ne, Slade, represented were written by spiri t
hands DR.. slade was In Washington few
years ago, where his performances created
quite sensation. Unlike most mediums
ne conducts his sittings or seances In the
light OF day, using only q small pine table, q
elate, q dinner bell, and q pocket knife. One
OF his feats consisted In holding an ACCORDION
outstretched In one hand while the "spiri tsD
played upon It. While II was playing the
opening and shutting of the keys could be
plainly seen by the spectator. But his most
remarkable performance was the writing
Test While one hand was resting on the
table he held In the other q slate ON which
was minute piece Of pencil. This slate he
apparently pressed against the under side
ofthe table, and In few minutes the scratch
Ing OF the pencil could be distinctly heard
When the noise ceased the slate would be
examined, and on IL would be found mes
sage addressed to some person present. All
this was SO cleverly done as to battle detec-
ton, even by the closest Investigator, and
yet Prof. Lancaster on oath says that he de
tected Shade writing o message on the slate
before he placed 1t under the table. The de-
ctsion OF the case Will probably put Slade
Along with the Davenport brothers, the Eddy
brothers, Katie King, and the other esprit
nal" humbugs.
