Christmas Episode a Popular
Ntaga manager Gained.
The large and happy audience hat
left the Memphis Tbeater yesterday
afternoon at the close Of the matinee
knew nothing of what was about to
transpire on the very boards where they
had watched with such intense interest
the splendid performance OF Freischutz
by Freyer's opera company. AS the
crowd poured cut On the street a number
Of men we're observed standing on each
side of the door as though they had no
idea of leaving, but this is such a com.
mon occurrence that no immediate no.
tice vas taken of it. But it was soon de.
velsped hat they had 8 motive and a
purpose besides looking at the ladies in
the usual fashion.
As loon as the stairway was cleared a
messenger notified Manager Rickaby,
who was 10 his Office above, that some
body wanted to see him back on the stage.
He thought nothing of it and continued
talking to q friend who was present; but
when a second urgent messenge was sent
ne rushed around 10 the side door and
went behind the curtain where it was al
most quite dark. In an instant he found
himself surrounded by a crowd of men
who looked like they might be on a strike.
he distinguished one or two Of the EN-.
ployes aud felt evidently that something
must be done to avert a crisis. He pro-
ceeded to clear his throat as though
about to state that the season had not
been a very profitable one to the maj.
agement, that nearly all theatrical ven-
lures this season had been failures all
over the country, and that he would pay
them just as much as the business would
justify, when Mr.. j. G. Reynolds, the
stage carpenter and spokesman for the
party, forestalled the coming speech by
coming at him with q aobby gold headed
cane, as it proved to be afterwards, and
making the following we'll timed re-.
marks:
Mr.. R~ICKABY-Sir: l have the honor,
in behalf of the property maa, ianitor,
stage hands, and myself, to present to
you this cane, which we pray you will
accept as a memento Of our eateem for
you as a manager. We wish you a long
and happy life, aud hope that the great
est success may follow you wherever you
may 60.
Mr.. Rickaby was quite taken back
behind the curtain. He recovered par.
tally and replied at length as follows:
God bless you. boys; 1 love every one
of you" Here some one proposed to
60 around the corner, where some cham.
psgue was found, and the party dis.
persed. 1t was altogether a neal affair
and a complete surprise to the recipient
Of the testimonial. Upon the cane is
inscribed: ITO Manager John Rickaby,
by the stage employees of the Memphis
Theater, December Is, l877.p

The New sheriff of UrIttenden
County.
Jesse s.. Order, a Democrat, was
elected sheriff of Crittenden county,
Ark, the other day by a majority of 100
votes, to succeed Lewis, who resigned
recently under peculiar circumstances.
One reason Order succeeded against
his shrewd opponents was that he had
his tickets printed at the LEDGER job
Office, and secured something in that line
which they could not possibly initiate.
1t was about as ugly a job as we ever
turned out, but he was elected beauti.
fully. The tickets could not be repro

closed the door and meade, seeing his chance,
made his exit through an outside door, where he
was confronted by Gaily. He managed to pass
Gaily however, and ran fast as possible for liber
