Mr.. r. G. NICHOLSON, the Memphis agent
of r. G. Dun q Co. commercial agency, has
furnished US with report OF the failures In
| the United States and Canada for the three
months ending March 81, 1879, together
with the amount of liabilities. They report
that there were 1924 failures this year,
| against 1856 in last years report tor the same
time, and 1869 for the quarter ending March,
1877. The liabilities for the same quarter in
1879 were $43, 112 665; in 1878, $82, O78, 1926,
and in 1877, $54, 538, O70. In the eastern
States this year there have been 343 failures,
with liabilities of Sc, $40, $40; in the middle

! falling off of twenty-five per cent. as COM
pared with the corresponding quarter of last

a much greater reduction is shown; the fail
| ures for the last three months beng only
slightly in excess Of one-half in amount of
those for similar period of 1878, and con-
sIderably less than those for 1877.
THAT delightful opera, the Daughter Of the
Regiment, will be repeated at the Memphis
Iheater tonight. On Monday night Miss
Kate Hartman took the part of Maria, and
made 1t festival of sweet sounds, a bouquet
for the ear and heart. Tonight Miss Emma
| Russell will take the part of "Maria, and if
she cannot excel the pathos and power of
Miss Hartman, she will no doubt stir the
depths of the soul with the sweetness of her
charming voice. The mere announcement
that Miss Emma Russell will appear as MA
ria In the Daughter Of the Regiment should
secure full house, for she was ministering
angel in Memphis during the yellow-fever
epidemic. Like the gentle spirit she is, she
glided to the bedside of the afflicted and al
leviated their sutferings. She attended the
Lonsdales, Rev. DIR. Eugene Daniel, the fam
=. lily of John Fritz, and J. c. Johnson; and
