TempIeton's Coming.

Templeton's Star Alliance Opera Compa-
ny are coming and will be at Angeles Hal
next Friday night, 14th. The company
will appear in the powerful emotional Ora
ma, "Miss Mutton" This is rare Oppor
tunity for seeing something fine on the
Dramatic order. The Charleston Times
says this Of Templetons:
"There are few theatre-going people in
Charleston, who do not know John Temple
ton, and those who know him, know only
good of him. Pree, opep-Rearted, generous
and genial ,and..withal an admirable actor and
a skilled and cultivated dramatic manager,
Templeton is known and loved throughout
the entire Southern circuit. We have
heard him in Grip Van Wrinkle" we have
listened spellbound to his wooing of "Pau.
line" Snd we have grown fat laughing al
his quaint Interpretation of CDR. Petre
Pangloss." Identified with the stage from
its earliest post beilum revival, Templet0n
has become in manner of US and with us,
and hence hs and his are always welcome
visitors to Southern audience"
From the Raleigh News
This company having stood the test OF
years in the opera and drama, may be pro-
nounced the very. best organization that
visits the South. Last night the applause
was generous, but richly deserved. The
recalls for Alice Vane and Fay" and the
fayorites of the company showed the appre-
citation of cur people for the standard com
pany of the South.

we hear of several candidates for the
Mayoralty, and each week adds to the list.
Appearances indicate that there viii be a
large number of good men to choose from.
Friday morning, between the hours of
one and three O'Clock, Prof. Tice has pre-
dicted there will be a meteoric shower OF
exceeding brilliancy and grandeur. Several
dances and entertainments of different
kinds have been arranged for Thursday
night, so that this. phenomenon, should it
occur, will be witnessed by a great many
Jacksonians
The German Club had its first meet
ing last night at the residence of Mr.
Kausler. All participating were greatly
pleased with the delightful and graceful
dance At the conclusion of the dance, the
Club was permanently organized by the
election of officers and the adoption of forms
OF government. The officers elected are

Democratic representatives and recent in
dications point to a return of Democrats il
place of Fisher, Yocum, White, Dick and
Osmer. The other day only Fisher and
YOcum's districts were designated
as probable gains. Judge Abbott,
district Boston, was also designated as a
probable gain for Massachusetts, because Mr.
Morse, although elected as a Democrat, is
quite as apt to vote with the Republicans
as with his own party. In the table above

This old and highly esteemed citizen, af
ter several weeks of painful illness, departed
this life on Saturday morning last, aged
about 46 years Mr.. Mcfarland was a ma
tive of Ireland, but came to this country
when but youth. He resided in Yazoo
City number of years, but took up his res
idenoe in this place about the year 1857,
where he had, up to the time of his last i'll
ness, been actively engaged in commercial
pursuits. He was a man of fine business
qualifications and of great public spirit, al
ways taking an active part in any and every
work that tended to the building up of our
little city and the advancement of the inter
ests of our people He was an honorable
and useful citizen, and once held for num-
Der of years place in our city council. In
this last named capacity he exhibited those
qualities of head and heart that will always
endear his memory to those of his fellow cit
liens who survive him. He was an affec-
tiOnate husband and father-a warm and
true friend. No better name, no more glo-
rious regard could he leave behind him.
Peace to his memory and joy to his soul.

RELATIVE STRENGTH OF PARTIES TO BE
MUCH MORE MARKED THAN IN THE
FORTY sIXTH

i n.
New York World
WASHINGTON, Nov 2. The political sta
tus of the Forty-seventh Congress, as fore
cast in these dispatches the other day, may
be supplemented by probabilities not then
announced, which will make the relative
strength of the parties in the next Congress
much more marked than this. People of
both parties here are laughing at the PEesi-
dents good-natured prediction that the
next Congress will be Republican. The
prediction, however, has stimulated specu-
lation, and the more the matter is considered
the more certain it becomes that the De
mocratic majority will be overwhelming. 1t
is not of so much Importance that the next
Congress should be Democratic as that this
one should be whose majority is already as
Sured. 1fprecedent counts for anything ques :
tions may arise in connection with the Presi-
Dental count which cannot be disposed~of
unfairly in the present Congress, to say
nothing of the check which may be placed
upon arbitrary executive acts that would
be prejudicial to public interests. In the
Senate, which will hold over through the
Presidential election, there are fl Demo-
Gratis, including Senator Davis, and 81
Republicans. In the House there are As
Democrats, 139 Republicans and Greenback
Republicans and Greenback Democrats.
OF the Democrats, including Delaware and

The happy young couple were married at
$50 O'Clock A. NJ, and Immediately left for
their future home in southern Kansas. A
large number offriends were at the depot to
say farewell, and wish them all possible
happiness in their new relations. Their loss
will be widely felt in our community, and
their many friends will not. forget the beau
tiful bride or the noble, manly bridegroom.
May many golden opportunities and realiza-
tions be theirs, and their happiness and sue
cess in life be commensurate to the cordial
wishes of those who love them best. Mr..
Lemly came out victorious after long fight
waged against him by large number of
opposing suitors. He has won truly good
and noble woman, whose many charms of
mind and person caused her to be eagerly
courted by marriageable young men.
