SHUT UP.
The Partisan Blondes Forbidden to
Exhibit Their Charms.

Considerable stir was created on the
streets to-day by talk 10 regard to the
Variety Troupe Of female minstrels per-
forming at the Greenlaw Opera House.
Whether this show is so much worse than
any and ell others that have exhibited in
Memphis we are unable to say, as the
LEDGER reporters are nice young men,
who do not see everything that is to be
seen in Memphis under the gasligbt.
The Avalanche of this morning INDUCED
in a pen p~ortraiture Of the exhibition
which would make the wicked laugh and
the good and pure shudder. In any
event it seems to come within the prohi-
bition Of the law, and the blondes will
not beam and pose and disport them.

A Young Man Fatally wounded by
"a Gun 1n HTS OWn hands.
Willie Kealy, a bright, intelligent youth
of seventeen, stepson OF Mr.. Pat Martin,
who lives at the corner of Georgia street
and Wright avenue, had been out hunt.
ing yesterday, and returned home about
4 o'clock in the afternoon. He stopped
to talk with some men who we're making
repairs on the house and set his gun
down on the steps. By some means it
slipped down, the hammer struck a lower
step and the gun was discharged. The
whole load OF duck shot, wadding and
all, entered the lower part Of his body,
ranging upward and lodging against the
spine and ribs. At the same time his
clothing was set on fire, 1t was a hor-
rible wound, beyond description. De-.
W. e. Rogers and DR.. Nall we're sum
moned as oon as possible, but the case
was beyond surgical aid. The unfortu-
nate young man fingered until 10 o clock
last night and diUd. He bore his great
suferings with wonderful fortitude, and
his mind was clear until the last. He
vas the only son OF his mother, and a
great f%avorite with all who knew him.
He was clerking in Fenton's grocery
store, corner of Causey and Pontotoc
streets. The sad event has cast O gloom
over the whole neighborhood. We deeply
sympathize with the relatives and friends
of the deceased aud especially with his
afflicted and heart-sticken mother.
