ADJUSTMENTS.
The De srurska Concerts

On Sunday night Estlval park was visited
by large number of the music loving people
Of the city. 1t was the occasion of the in
augural concert given ny Madame lima De
Murska and troupe. The singing of Mile.
De Murska was equal to her reputation. She
continues to preserve that sweetness and
clearness of voice which has rendered her IA
nous in the world of song. Signor Brignoli.
whose tenor has seldom been equalled, has
improved in voice since our citizens last had
the pleasure of hearing him, and acquitted
himself admirably on this occasion. SIgnor
Susini, the basso of the troupe, impressed the
listeners with his profound bass, and especial
ly with his powers of acting, in which he ap-
peared to be highly skilled. Mr.. Maxim, the
baritone, though not so familiar to Mem
phis audience, made favorable impression.
Mr.. John Hill, the pianist and musical di-
rector, was perfectly at home in piano music,
and his Accomplishments and solos were rem
dered with exquisite taste and delicate sense
The members Of the troupe kindly consented
to accept number of enc0res. The calling
for so many encOreS looks as if the
audience wanted to get more than
the full value of their money. 1t is a
heavy tax on singers, and audiences should be
more considerate, and be satisfied with the
published programme. Appreciative and iu-
and is always acceptable. Another concert
will be rendered by the troupe on Wednesday
evening next.

pany at Estival park to-day will be pleasant

ALTHOUGH people complain of hard times
and scarcity of money, yet some things indi-
cate more prosperous condition of affairs
than has existed during the last two or three
years. In 1876 but few of our southern
watering places paid expenses, but last year
their business improved, and some of them
anticipate further increase this season. Al
ready several visitors have passed through
the city on their way to Bailey Springs. The
proprietors OF that pleasant retreat, encour-
aged by the success of last summer, are
making extensive preparations for the large
and merry crowd soon to congregate beneath
their hospitabe roofs With commendable
enterprise they have devoted the winter to
repairing and adjoining their establishment,
and have concluded an arrangement with the
public-spir1ted managers of the Memphis
and Charleston railroad that enables passen-
gers from this city to go to Bailey and return
Tor only twelve dollars. including carriage
hire both ways between Florence and Bailey.
1t is an economy of health. strength, vitality
and money to board at Bailey during the
heated term, and when one considers the
amount thus saved from the doctors it is
positively a paying investment. Those de-
string information should apply to Ellis &
Co, Bailey Springs, Alabama, who will
cheerfully respond to all inquiries.
