JosEPH MURPHY To NIGHT. This tai
ented and popular comedian begins an
engagement tonight at the Memphis
rheAter, presenting his new and attrac
tive play entitled Kerry Cow. In speak
ing of the comedy, Kerry Cow, the Chi.
eago Times says:
The construction Of the play is very
fine. The third act is an exception to
the Others, as far as pure dramatic climax
is concerned, but is the most natural sem
sstionalism ever seen on the stage, being
that in which Dan shoes the race.horse.
II has a direct and important bearing on
the denouement, and by the n~sturaIness
Of the action aud treatment, assists in
the illusion to that extent that the author
is entitled to the greatest credit in hay.
ing introduced such a scene in such a
manner as not to injure the poetic sem
blance of the play. Through the whole
piece run alternately veins of humor and
pathos, most happily aud judieiously
mingled, which color with highly agree.
able sentiment the interesting story and
leave the best impression. In the selec.
ton OF the company a degree of judg-
ment has been exercised which places it
above any speciality organization which
has been seen on our stage for a long
time. For perfect adaptability to the
parts to be performed it is & model.
Mr.. Murphy will have crowded houses
during his engagement through the week.
MISS MARY ANDERSON. This brilliant
actress closed a successful engagement
Saturday night at the Memphis Theater,
her last play being Macbeth. Miss An.
derson has abundant cause to be proud
Of her engagement in Memphis, having
drawn the largest and most fashionable
audiences Of the season. She plays this
week in Nashville.
BLIND ToM.-Blind Tom, the great
musical wonder gives three performances
al the Greenlaw Opera House the 18th
and 18th insts. Blind Toms strange and
unaccountable talent never fails to at.
tract full houses. he is the greatest
musical genius of the age.
GRAND BALL Tomorrow night a
grand ball will be given at Cochran Hall
by the Aldine and Excelsior boat clubs.
The entertainment will be unusually
pleasant aud doubtless attract a very
large attendance, as it is in charge oil
