IN GENERAL,

1t is thought that on all the rivers of Maine
great preparations are being made already for
logging operations this winter, and a larger
business will be conducted in this line than for
several years. This is partly due to the fact
that the stock of logs is nearly exhausted, but
market mauifests healthy signs of improve
ment for next year. On the Penobscot and
henneb.c rivers twice as many men will enter
the woods as last year, and on these waters op-
orators will endeavor to obtain years stock
for their mills.

MEMPHIS THEATER.-Las night Frou
Frou, with Fanny Davenport in the It'll,
role. The play ia a strong one, of thr
French society school. and possesseI
many strong dramatic points. As "Frou
Frou" Miss Davenport was excellent anc
attractive and deservedly received IN
stinted applause. She was we'll sup
ported by the stock company.
Tonight Shakspeare's As You Like L
will be placed ON the boards. An ex
change in speaking of the play says:
AS You Like 1t is endeared to all who
appreciate Shakespeare. To point out its
beauties is too long a task. 1t is full OF
wisdom, full ofpoetry and full OF chsrsc.
tiers. "Rosalind" is not altogether the
principal person in the drama. The ploy
is one OF those that in a great measure
defy the star system Of acting 1t has
bee1 a mooted question in dramatic
literature whether a representation by
superior actors in the parts does net dis.
tract from the interest in the principal
character, A just proportion, however,
requires the very best representation for
each.
Miss Fanny Davenport is charming as
"RosaliDd We would like to see her
make more OF "Oh, coz, coz, coz, my
pretty little coz, that thou dids't know
how many fathomS deep l am in love-"
which she utters after her coquetry in
male attire with Orlando" There is
grand luxury of love to be uttered il
this, something to strike deep in the
sympathies Of the heart, when acted and
spoken in It's full depth of meaning
Miss Davenport Nas ~coquettish or saucy
with a "swashing and martial outside"
womanly and delicate, tender and CO.
quettish, as the situations required. The
scene where she faints on seeing the
bloody handkerchief is alone worth an
evening under the spell Of the charming
actress. Her cuckoo song is captivating.
Her coquetry with Orlando" is superb
In analyzing her acting we could ouly
devote ourselves to a mention of the
beauties OF her conception and acting
She recited the e~pilogue ch~armingly.

FINE PICTURE ON EXHIBITION.
The Battle Of Lookout Mountain, OF
War Above the Clouds.

At the Memphis Club Hall a splendid
battle picture, by James Walker, is on
exhibition, and should be seen by all
lovers of art. The painting is sixteen
by thirty feet, and contains a | large mum.
Der Of figures. The picture represents
the Battle OF Lookout Mountain" and
depicts the Federal advance or the break
through the Confederate lines. The
horses and men are painted in a life.lik'
aud realistic manner. The landscap,
is true to nature, and gives a perfect pic
ture Of the beautiful country around
Lookout, which is depicted by ajudicioul
and artistic arrangement Of light anC
shade. General Hooker on his whit,
horse, refined tightly in, is the centra
figure. Back of him, on horseback, &
crowd of officers press up eagerly. Msjol
Reynolds, chief OF artillery, has jus.
refined in his horse in front OF Genera.
Hooker, and is receiving orders. The
right gun OF his reserve artillery, with its
c%aissou, can be seer back of him. AL
around in the foreground are cavalry
artillery and infantry, rank and file.
Hundreds of the faces OF the men are
distinctly shown. each with characters
tics. The greatest attention has beer
paid to the minutest details OF uniforms
arms and all Announcements of each
branch Of the service. The hundreds o.
horses are a study by themselves. Ev
erywhsre is conveyed the idea in THU
magnificent foreground of swift, viviC
action, suddenly checked to a pause pro
phetic of the cod. There is Lookout
mountain, cloud girdled and battle
crowned. The shrieking shells must b.
flying, for there are ruffs and rings o
white smoke here and there in mid air
The eye can barely discern the column
that are climbing the long. weary side o
the mountain. The picture will remain
on exhibition until further notice.
