Amusements

THE MINsTRELs.-At the Memphis
Theater last night Simmons & Slocum's
minstrels gave their initial performance
before a large audience. It is one of the
very best minstrel organizations that has
ever been in our city. The entertain
ment last night was replete with drol-
leries and abs1rdities, aud it was highly
relished by the audience. The instru-
mental and vocal music we're excellent.
WEIGH aud Rice, the renowned dancers,
are exceedingly clever, as indeed are all
of the troupe. Among the leading per-
formers may be mentioned Simmons, the
banjoist and vocalist; Thatcher and
Slocum the specially performers. The
entertainment concluded with q laugh
able burletque entitled The Two Tramps,
which is Overlooking with humor and
most comical situations. Tonight there
will be a repetition Of the programme.
Persons fond Of negro minstrelsy can
attend the entertainments of Simmons
& Slocum with the assurance Of being
delighted. There is no reason WIZ this
troupe should fail to draw large houses
every night during the week.
BELLA UNIoS.-This noted and poBu-
lar place Of variety entertainment, on
Jefferson street, near Main, is becoming
a f%avorite place of resort. 1t is kept in
quite a different style from hat of former
variety shows exhibited here. The man.
ayers Of the Bella Union understand
their business and they give entertain
ments nightly hal are worth witnessing,
consequently the better class Of people

alton character and deserves public pat.

In the year 1872, when the German

with maFquerading on the streets, a
funny procession and a ball at night, it
was not proposed or aver intended to
celebrate the carnival Annually. But
the people took to it kindly and the fol-
lowing year they demanded a repetition
of the celebration. Then the organiza.
ticns known as the Ulks and the Memphi
started, and this made the ardi. Gras
celebration a fixed and permanent insti-
tuition in Memphis. 1t has developed

IMPORTANT DECisIoS.-Two cases
of Posey and Boarman which were ac-
tons for damages done to The wheat OF
Poscy by the hogs Of Boarman were
tried recently IN the circuit court for
Charles county. II was in evidence
that the trcspasses were repeated all
through the summer, and it was claimed
by Boarman :hat they were occasioned
by defective fencing on the part of Po-
sey. The opinion ofTudge Brent, found
ed a. il is upon the law OF the State,
should be warning TO all persons " no
leave their stock run at large and en-
croach upon their neighbors' property.
The Judge, in a very clear opinion, de-
Cidcd that the condition OF the fence
made no difference. The law requires
every man to keep his stock within his
Own enclosures and the fact that the
f.ncing on the part Of the one trespasscd
upon was defective was only a matter
T. I've received in mitigation Of damages
but was not bar to The right TO reCov-
err because the common law rule pre-
vailed here and was absolute that a man
must keep his stock within his own en-
closures.
