LIBRARY DRAMATIC CLUB After all
the stage, like the pulpit, teaches valua-
BILE lessons and offers wise suggestions.
Especially is this true in the presentation
of Ten Nights 10 a Bar.room, which will
be presented at the Memphis Theater
Friday night by the 0dd-Fellows' Library
Dramatic Club. The cast is good and
the entertainment will afford interest
and pleasure to ell who attend. We feel
confident that the play, as presented on
April 18th, would increase in popularity
with each performance, for il is one of
those plays TO which all can listen, sven
the most fastidious. All-chnrch, tenn
perance, all-are deeply interested in
the reformation Of mankind, and in this
play they have their best assistant. We
would suggest that some arrangement be
made by the club and the leaders of the
Murphy movement here to give several
Saturday m~atinees, at prices to suit the
times.

TroubIe ON a steAmbon,.

Saturday night when the steamer A.
j. White reached Apperson's Landing,
below this city, the colored fremen-
Chas. Gibson, Ed Barnes, Henry Wells
and Thomas Hsynes-relused to work,
and accordingly went ashore. They
walked to the city, reaching here the
next day, and new arises q mysterious
question. The fremen state that their
wages were recently reduced, and after
the steamer left port their grub was also
curtailed to such an extent as to render
it impossible to keep soul and body to-
gether. In addition to this, one of the
hremen says hat the captain refused to
pay them for their labor, and conse.
quently they quit work. They asked for
their money Saturday, but their request
was not complied with, aud Charles Glib.
son aud Thomas Haynes this morning
instituted proceedings before United
States Commissioner Pillsbury to recover
the amount due each libelant for four
days work. The parties interested in
the White have been making inquiries of
the commissioner in order to have the
hremen arrested on the charge Of "mu.
tiny aud insubordination" in leaving
the steamer in distress.
