Maggie Mitchell closed @ one weeks
engagement last night at the tbeater
The engagement was not profitable
one on account Of the stormy weather
in the early part of the week preventing
such attendauces rs the talented actrt s.
and her company merited. Favorable
weather on Friday and yesterday, the
Friday night and Saturday matinee
houses were quite complimentary, and
gave evidence that Maggie Mitchell still
holds her place in the eBteem of old
Memphis friends. During the week was
I presented Fl1nchon, Little Barefoot
LORE ard Jane Eyre, in al of which
Maggie Mitchell rendered the leading
roles in style peculiarly her own
some of them Of a higher dramatic order
| than those in which that lady has won
| her high place as an actress. The thea
ter will remain closed this week till
Thursday night, when the Peak Family
! will spper the remainder of the week.

Each OF these gentlemen played his
psTt we'll, and tie audience, among
which were some of our best musicsl
critics, was highly pleased, as was clear
IL evinced by the roars Of laughter
which were called forth by each succe S.
sive piece Of grOtesque setting. The
scenery, painted expressly for the Occa-
sion by Mr., Arnold, produced tbs most
happy effect and contributed consider
ably to the brilliant success Of the per-
fOrmsnce. The music under tina able
leadership of Professor Schulzs was all
that could be desired by the most fastid-
iOus, and was eXcellentIy render ed-the
airs being selections and combiD atoms

Rock.
Mrs. Livermore's lecture, "What Shall
We Do With Oar Daughters ?n st the

Little Rock Gazette of Friday, was no.
bic, entertaining, and instructive effort.

mans feeble health, end to the point
against the trains worn on street dresses.
Sac spoke rapidly, and portrayed in
vivid characters the advantage OF MAX
ing woman mans equal in everything
for which her mind or taste fitted her.
She arg usd the necessity Of educating
woman for employment educating her

rise to higher and nobler estate. Mrs.
