Some time since a fish hoax was pub
lished in a ST. Louis paper and was re-.
published here and elsewhere The story
reached Texas, as will be seen from the
following letter received at the mayors
Office:
BRENNAN. TEXAS. October u. 1877.
Your Honor. the Mayor Of the City of Mem
phis;
SRI have read the accounts in the
papers Of the monster" which is said
to have been seen near your city. / am
curious to ascertain something definite
on the subject. / am engaged in scien-
tife work for the United States Geologi.
cal Survey of the Territories, and passed
through your city in the capacity of d.
rector Of a scientific party which was
passed through the State Of Texas by
the Texas Pacific railroad and others.
The animal is said to have run its bill
into the boat of Captain Caraway,
who is said to have preserved the said
besk in Memphis. As comparative
anatomy and paleontology are my bust.
ness | think | could determine exactly
the character Of the animal should | be
able to see the snout. Would it be pos.
sible to send it TO me for a short time fol-
examination | will return it thereafter
and furnish a report at an early day
Should the stories be reliable | might be
able to add something of interest to the
zoology Of Tennessee. May | expect q
reply addressed to; yours very truly,
EDw. d. Core, U. S G. c. Survey?
Acting Mayor Williamson referred the
letter to Whsrfmaster Kellaher for in
formation, and replied to Prof. Cope
letter, informing that worthy %scientis
that the river monster story WAS a hoax
unworthy Of being credited to tn,
sciences of either comparative anatom
or paleontology.

Precannons ArnInat FIre,

Memphis has not had a FIRE for a long
time-so say the fire boys and the insu.
rance companies. Now that ccol
weather has set in, people cannot be too
careful concerning building fires. Flues
and chimneys get out Of order during
the summer months; rats eat through
them and SCOT aecumulates in the most
dangerous places, SO that when ires are
started the burning out Of the aue or
chimney takes place, and il any detects
are therein the building takes ERE. Flues
and chimueys should be examined aud
swept ont before fires are built in CRATES
and stoves.

MEMFHIs THEATRE. - To- night Baby.
q most laugbable farce, will be presented
at the Theater by good company of
comedians, especially secured for the
piece in the drst representation at Park
ThsAter, New York. Those who have
seen it pronounce it immense, a side
splitting affair, full of most comical hits
and situations. The press Of other cities
speak in high terms of the piece, as will
be seen from the following:
II is scarcely possible to secure a more
perfect cast than Mr.. Abbey has given
US, and it introduces 10 as several people
whom we can most heartily welcome.
Foremost among them is Mr.. W. II.
Bailey, Of the Walnut Street TheAter,
Philadelphia. Without being envious of
our Quaker City brethren, we would like
to rob them Of such a comedian as this
gentleman sssuredly is.-[N. 7. Dis
patch, July 22d.
Mr.. W. j. Lemoyne, one Of the very
best character actors on the American
rtage, plays the %bypocritical tutor,
Tracy Coach, and plays il ~splendidly.
His uHctious humor lie irresistible and he
does bic business in so quiet, cool a man
Der as to deprive one almost OF the idea
Of acting.-LN Y. Dispatch, July 22d
The face Of Baby is free from 10.
decency, and too much suggestiveness
the situations if overdone, would prove
unpAlatable to good taste aud a shock to
deeorum; it is a screaming farce and has
won immediate recognition - Americau
Art Journal, July 18th.
The second act is intensely f%arcical
and is productive Of boisterous mirth -
N. Y. Clipper, July 23d.
IL is as funny as Forbidden Fruit, and
more dashiug than Our Boarding House
-[Jewish Messenger, July I'D.
Baby will hold the boards for three
nights only and Wednesday matinee.

The sidewalks where the Nicolson
pavement has been put down present dan.
gerous features at present. The late
rains has caused the wooden blocks to
swell and a bulge or little mountain ap.
pears between the stone curbing and the
store wall. AS the mountain rises owing
to pressure, the blocks at the apex drop
into the cavern, and a dangerous hole is
the result. 1t is a good place the break
a leg, or two legs if necessary. When
you walk over these mountains the hol-
low sound they give forth yarns you that
you are in danger. The city authorities
while filing up dangerous holes in the
streets had better pull down the more
dangerous mountains on the sidewalks.
