knight and the Worrsll Sisters resumed

Of an Irish lawyer, while Mr.. Knight en-.

BOHEMIAN GIRL The opera Bohe.
milan Girl, to be again presented at the
New Memphis Theater on Thursday
night, will prove to be agrand success.
There has already been a rush to Hollen-
berg's fo- reserved seats, aud our citizens
are taking lively interest in the success
of a scheme, the object of which is to
raise funds for the erection of a monu.
ment to the memory of that illustrious
chieitain, Robert Z. Lee.
Much credit is due to the t%ireless and
iudefatigable energy Of Mrs. Judge
Foute, president for Tennessee, who has
so far removed every obstacle in the way
Of securing every appointment necessary
to a successful presentation Of this beau
titul opera in the interest Of her associa-
ton.
To the ready assent Of Mr.. Kirkland,
our talented young amateur manager,
and the hearty cooperation Of Professors
Perrin and Levy and the young ladies'
and gentlemen composing the home
troupe, great praise is due.
Our Memphis people do nothing by
halves, and when once ealiated in q
scheme which appeals to their patrio.
ism, or one with which their hearts and
tastes are in accord, success is certain.
The association is largely indebted to
Mr.. Riekaby, the en~terprising manager
of the Memphis Theater, who, notwith.
standing the great interference, embar.
rassment and pecuniary loss to his bust
ness, which the presentation of an anna.
teur performance in the midst of the
season necessarily %incurs, has yielded to
the solicitation of our citizens. Mr..
Rickaby's willingness to oblige was
heartily seconded by Mr.. knight aud
the Worrell Sisters, with whom Mr..
Rickaby had g contract for the week.
This gentleman more than willingly
came to Mr.. Rickaby's relief, which
alone rendered it possible to present the
opera. Those who would secure gooC
seats should go at once to Hollehberg'
music store, as there will be no lack OF
purchasers, and Thursday night is mos.

The Gipsiea.

A gang Of gipsies who came from
Ohio on the steamer Vint Shinkle last
week left on Sunday last on board the
steamer City Of Alton, bound for Texas.
The Gipsies are ruled by q queen in
each country where they reside. The
queen of the American gipsies died near
Dayton, Ohio, about a year ago, and was
buried with great honor by the vagrant
or tramp race. A new queen was elected,
aud this ~potentate OF the uomads was
with the gang which passed down the
river on Sunday. The Gipsies had fne
wagons, tents, a lot of horses, etc. They
havelocated in Ohio, near Dayton, where
they have a large tract Of land under
cultivation. The American Gypsy is Of
English origin. They are Of a vags.
bond race of people which iniest Eu-
rope, Africa and Asia, strolling about
and subsisting mostly by theft, robbery
and fortune telling. The name "Gipsy"
is supposed to be corrupted from Egyp-
tan, as they were thought to have come
from Egypt, but their language indicates
that they originated in Hindoostan.

whether the Porte would send an
Embassador TO st. Petersburg or not
10 treat on the question Of mutual
disarmament. Musurus Pasha stated
that Turkey was not prepared TO
adopt any such measure, and OF.
pressed an opinion that matters
could not lie settled satisfactorily
unless the Powers sbould consent to
annul the protocol. / replied that
the divergence between the views OF
the two Governments appeared so

useless, and ] said that I could not
see what further steps England
could take to avert the war, which
seemed inevitable. Muaurus Pasha
answered that the attitude OF his
Government was simply defensive;
that they did not desire war, but
that they would prefer it 10 the
sacrifice Of national independence,
which appeared to be involved 10
the acceptance OF the protocol.
Probably England never hoped
