LEUBR1E's THEATER.

The wild Western play Of Across
the Continent was repeated at the
theatre last night, to a fair audience,
and as usual with the genial Byron,
the galleries contained the largest
crowd, also the most enthusiastic, fol-
there are none who more heartily APP
preciate your dime novel hero than the
gamins of the galleries. Across the
Continent is a most exciting drama,
with a good moral, and it offers fine
opportunities for superior character
acting. The leading players, who
are most conspicuous in their special
ties are Mr.. Byron and Mr.. Banks,
the cOmmedian. A feature of the en-
tertainment most pleasing to the ear
is the musical programme by Hand
workers. band. Last night they rem
dered an exquisite overture from
Luppe's operatta Tantalusqualen, a
delightful selection from Fatinita, a
beautiful cornet solo polka, and the
charming Turkish patrol. Tonight
the new play Hero" is to be present.
Ell, a spirited drama, founded upon
domestic scenes in New York, wild
and savage life on the Western plains,
and excellent illustrations of Califor-
MIA miners life. The play and the
acting has been much extolled in all
cities where the Byron troupe have
appeared.

Returning Prosperity.

We hear good accounts of the crops
and revival of business in all direc.
tiOns. Mr.. VIM. Moore, of the firm
of Woodland & Moore in Nashville,
passed through the city a day or two
since, on his return from a trip to
Helena and other points down the
river. He gives a most encouraging
account of affairs down that way.
Cotton is moving, business is ami
mated, and merchants, planters and
all classes are in fine spirits. Mr..
Moore says he has not seen
such a hopeful feeling in ten years.
This firm manufactures and deals in
the best Robertson county whiskies,
including the famous "Silver Spring
brand" which is perhaps, as Col. Nc
Lean would say, "the best in the
World" Mr.. Moore made large sales,
found that everybody had plenty Of
money, and went home in high spirits.
Such testimony as this is reliable, and
shows that the business boom has
reached all parts of the country, and
that it is splendid and long hoped
for reality.
