Don't Drink New Years Day.

A respected correspondent who is a
member of the Natoma Temple Of
Honor, protests through the lodge he
belongs to against the use of~intoxicat-
ing beverages on New Years day in
following:
"Natoma Temple'of Honor protests
against the use Of Intoxicating liquors
at New Years receptions. VIZ reoog-
nise the continued and growing prac-
tice Of the use of Intoxicating liquors
at New Years receptions as not only a
great evil, but as leading to the most
serious consequences to the whole
community, young men, who would
otherwise remain temperate, are there
by frequently led to moral and physi-
cal ruin. Natoma Temple of Honor
earnestly protests against a practice
which involves such fatal results. W.
ask of all good citizens that they dis
courage the pFaOtiOe-and especially
do we implore the fair women OfMem-
phis not to offer liquors Of any kind to
their guests on the approaching ami
versary. We deem it proper to suggest
to the clergy that a united remon-
STRANGE from all the pulpits in the city,
on the last Sunday in this year, against
the evil practice would effect much
towards its discontinuance and We
ask the press ofthe city to assist us by
publishing this protest Of the friends
of temperance against this too danger
GUS use of intoxicating liquors"

She took a little too much wine
while enjoying a prelude to the holt

comely but frail sister who resides on
Second street near Madison, and pitch
ing into Lilly Burdell, a companion
with whom she Is on friendly terms,
Alice landed in the station house.
She put up SO forfeit, and this morn
ing not appearing when called 1t was
forfeited. Then Lilly fearing her
vengeance, had a peace warrant sworn
out against Alice and the handsome
girl had to go before the Squire and
give bonds for her good behavior. The
girls waded about in the mud andslop
all the forenoon to get matters Fixed
Up and collie WisA the law and the

THE MACAULRY COMBINATIoN.

THE MACAULEY COMBINATION.
The Messenger from Jarvis Sec
ton, as presented by the Macauley
troupe at Leubrie's theater last night,
was we'll received by a fair, and con-
sidering the inclement weather, a
complimentary audience. The upper
tier and balcony, or second circle,
drew the larger crowd, but there was
good patronage in the lower circle.
The play was well reacted, and it is
represented as full ofinterest through
out, being an American comedy dra-
ma which has won good favor and
liberal patronage wherever presented.
The leading part is acted by
Mr.. Macauley, whose reception
was cordial and who appeared at the
end of each act, in front of the cur.
tain with little Minnie Madden, in
response to the enthusiasm of the
spectators. The piece will be repeat
ed tonight, tomorrow night and at
the matinee on Christmas day.
NEXT WEEK.
The accomplished American born
but English actress, Miss Ada Caven-
dish, will appear next Monday night
at Leubrie's theater, as Beatrice, in
Shakspeare's Much Ado about
Nothing" following with Lady Clan
earthly and Mercy Merrick. The lady
occupies a high rank in her profession,
and we may expect to enjoy a rich
dramatic feast throughout all of New
Years week.
THE MUSEUM,
No. 1858 Main street, has been
so crowded of late that the
belief is gaining ground that the pro-
prietor will soon raise the price of adj
mission. The present price, only IF
teen cents, is too low for so good a
show. Everybody should visit the
museum before the price is raised.

More Water.

As some little misapprehension ex-
lists in regard to the offer of the firm
making the proposition guaranteeing
pure water to the people of Memphis,
we would say that they propose to
make their guarantee good by submit
ting the water in the cistern under
their charge to chlorine test every
few months, as suggested by DIR,
Smart. This firm is well known as
practical and responsible men, and by
acceptance of their offer we will GER
taInly be assured of good water, and
with the completion of the sewerage
system Memphis is sure to become ono
of the healthiest cities in the Missis-
sippi valley.
