Postnss,er Thompson has promptly

B. B. Barnes. When Mr.. Alexander
had a personal difficulty with a letter
carrier last year, United States Commis.

Flippin, required the gentleman to give
bond to auswe the criminal charge Of
obstruciing the United States mails.
According to precedent, tha eleven year
old boy Of Mr.. Barnes, after being beat
en- and having to bear the aorse of bis
mother by Miller, will have to give bond
for obstructing the delivery Of the United

How is this for Mayor FIippin2 The
legislature, eight years ago, fixed the
salary of Criminal, Circuit and Chaucery
Court judges at $500 per annum.
Through the opportunities of Mr..
Flippin and others the County Court of
Shelby passed an appropriation OF $1,000
per apnum as an additional salary. AT
that time Mr.. FIippin was Judge Of the
Criminal Court. The Supreme Court,
however, held this appropriation to be
illegal, Judge Flippin drew this illegal
appropriation aud still holds the
amount, which in full is about seven
thousand dollars. Judge Flippin ought
to know hat this money belongs to the

Mr.. Flippin be elected2 We think hot.

Miss MARY AyDERsoS.-Thefs vas
another good audience al the Memphis
Theater last night to witness Miss An
derson in the title role of Ion" q play
which is not, and perhaps is not destined
to become popular with the average the.
ater-goers. Ion is a dramatic aproduc-
ton not so easily understood as one
might imagine. In point Of arrange
meut, development of plot and simple
ity Of illustrative character, it is greatly
inferior to other productions known to
students Of the drama and theater.goers.
Its attitude to the Greek dramatic litera-
ture is about the same as that Of the or
binary society play of the day to the lie
Tartutfe" or "Missnthrope'' Of Moliere.
Withal Ion is a fair classic produc.
ton, and, as interpreted by
Miss Anderson, is pleasing.
Some n has said that the a%ncients,
compared with the moderns, seen like
the actors on a lofty stage compared with
the homely spectators in the pit. In their
histories, their epies and their tragedies,
you perceive a buskined dignity of senti.
ment, a heroic elevation in every rank OF
life, above the everyday familiarity Of
our times, the holiness Of people de.
claiming in blank verse. 10 their greater
writings you find none of the humbling
confessions OF later days, none Of the
used appearance Of modern literature as
of the gloss worn of, the dew dried up
The reserved muse emits never the moan
Of sympathy, or the winning plant OIL
personal emotion, but speaks always il
the tone Of distant command or digni6eG
instruction. But in this it all comes on
and we truly have presented their rea
and naked sentiments Of their W state
The Responding prospect, the regretfu
retrospect, the signs of a laden anC
troubled heart, the evidence " in spite ,
that life to every one that breathes il
full of cares" However, it requires pre-
cision, strength aud succinctive grace OF
the part Of the artist that would do JUS
tice to the title role. In these demands
Miss Anderson is not wanting to the ex
tent which the subject and her you'll
would anticipate. The Grecian charac
ter Of which lion" is given, as illustra
tive, is an austere type, though it has ii
graces and elements of natural harmony
and poetic beauty. Tonight Miss An
derson appears in Romeo and Juliet
