street, near Monroe, for the purpose Of
rcbbing the house. A negro who induced
Clair to commit the act stood at the win.

At Boston, Lynn and elsewhere in the
land Of doughnuts and steady habits,
the starving and unemployed laborers
are holding meetings and demanding
work and reliet from the public officers.
Saturday four thousand unemployed la.
borers at Boston visited the mayor and
asked for work. Despite the talk and
jeers Of certain Northern men who visit
Memphis, this city is not yet, and we
hope will never be, in the condition Of
these municipalities where the working
and labering population is half fed, and
barely able to exc out a living.
The general council met Saturday
night, in accordance with the ovder of the

levied, still the tax collected is quite 10.
adequate for the payment of the Brown
msndamuS, which for two or three year,
has worried the people no little. II thai
Independent, high-tax fat-goose party b.
organized, p~ropagated and developed as
some of its friends now hope, not only
Mr.. Brown but every bondholder in tht
State, will be paid dollar for dollar.

plays has attracted much comment. Her
costumes, the New York Tribune says,
are historic, and one Of them is copied
from a portrait of Adrienne Lecouvrier.
Her FIRST toilet is a train of pale blue
satin, above which is a genuine polonaise
of velvet, hanging without drapery, and
very different from the corrupted bout
