RaiIroad-PersonnI

Mr.. f. l. Maybury, general travel
ing agent of the Grand Rapids and
Indiana railroad, is in the city on a
general tour South in the interest of
the great line which he represents.
The entire length Of the road from
Richmond, Indiana, to Potaskey, on
Little Traverse bay, Lake Michigan, is
424 miles, besides branches. The
distance from Richmond to Cincinnati
is 20 miles, and trains run through
to and from Cincinnati. This road
runs up into the midst Of the finest
boating and fishing region in the coun-
try. 1t is a paradise for sportsmen,
and besides is one Of the healthiest
sections of country in the world. In
Vulnerable lakes on both sides of the
upper end of this line abound with
the famous American grayling, pike,
trout OF several varieties, m%uscalong,
bass and other game fish. These
places are easily accessible, and tour
lists find charming places of resort
where there is good living, good socie-
ty, and every convenience and attrac-
ton. Southern people who r look
ing about for a desirable summering
place cannot do better than take this
route and stop over in Northern
Michigan. Mr.. Maybury's address is
Grand Rapids, Mich. Pamphlets
and all particulars will be furnished
by him on application, or by Captain
Dick L%ightburnc, Major Barney
Hughes, James Speed, or Captain
Hall, Of the Anchor Line. After the
first Of June low rate excursion tick
cts will DO issued, and two daily trains
will run through without change from
Cincinnati with sleeping and chair
cars attached. Stop,oyer tickets al
lowed indefinitely everywhere in the
fishing district.

Bruce's Firal Opportnnity.

milwaukee, News.I
Several Intellectual efforts have been
made in the senate during the past few
years to get a thorough Investigation
into the affairs of the Freedman's
bank matter. The senate being Re
publican, and that party opposed, on
general principles, to any investigation
into anything where Republican THEY
ing is concealed, there the matter
rested till now, when the Democratic
senate has passed Senator Bruce's res
Olution providing for a thorough in
yestigation into the affairs Of that
cesspool of Republican corruption.
The country knows, in a general
way, that there was a great deal
of swindling under the charter
OF this institution under the garb
Of philanthropy, and there was an
investigation by a committee of the
Democratic House a few years ago,
which threw agood deal of light on
the subject. But neither common
fame nor report 90 very far toward
satisfying the poor colOred people of
the South, who were the victims and
who have the first right to be CON
sldered in the premises. 1t is emf
nently proper that a colored man of
Senator Bruce's intelligence, ability
and honesty should do the work.
The Democrats should, and no doubt
will, consent to make him chairman
of the committee, and place in his
hands every facility for the prosecu-
ton Of the work, This is the colored
Senator's first opportunity to do a
real and distinguished service to his
race.

ADJUSTMENTS.

ADJUSTMENTS.
MEMPHIS THEAIER.-Anothcr fine
audience collected at the Memphis
Ihcatcr last night to witness the c c
ond presentation of Donizetti's spark
ling opera, The Daughter of the Regi-
ment. The performance went off
smoothly and to the entire satisfaction
OF both the spectators and players.
Miss Emma Russell in the leading
role of Maria made a brilliant
debut, met with a cordial reception
and achieved a magnetic success. She
is a piquant young lady, possessing a
lovely soprano voice, full Of melody
and sweetness. Her action is grace
full and winning, and the unanimous
expression of everybody is that she is
a lyric star of magnetic luster. The
frequent demonstrations of enthusi-
asm by the audience testified that
Miss Russell established herself at
once as a public favorite. Her APP
pearance, manners and action are ex-
tremely fascinating, and she deserved
the plaudits bestowed so literally.
Mrs. Mansford, Miss Katie Book and
Mrs. Raines all sang beautifully
and acted with sprightly cleverness.
Mr.. McClintock improved on his first
effort as "Tonio, and acquitted HIM
self with credit. The choruses were
rendered with excellent effect, and
the orchestral features contributed
largely to the general success. On the
whole the opera was a most excellent
musical entertainment, and the Mem
phis Opera Club have given the pub
lie an amateur performance of a supe-
rior order. Few of our people were
aware that so much musical and dra-
matte talent existed here, though it
has long been familiar to us that we
possessed a highly cultivated taste for
good music.
The leading singers of the opera
were each the recipients of lavish ho-
raj favors, and Miss Russell was com
plimented with an earnest encore in
one of her solos, to which she re-
spOnded amiably.
The opera of the Daughter of the
Regiment is repeated at a matinee to-
day, with Miss Hartman as Maria"
On Saturday a matinee is to be given,
when Fra DiavOlo is to be performed,
with Miss Minnie Hunter as "Zer-
lima" the leading role, and Mr.. W. j..
Steele in the tenor part of Fra
Diayolo.'
The GREENLAw OPERA HOUSE
Art Exhibition continues to please and
instruct an interested throng. The
attendance last night was a good one,
and the scenes illustrated yer the
chief cities of Italy, with their parks,
public buildings, art galleries and the
paintings and sculpture therein. To-
night a voyage on the Nile in Egypt,
from Alexandria to the Second Cata-
ract, with scenes in Holy Land, will be
the subjects represented.
HARRY BUTLER has organized a
company of Ministries, consisting of
twenty-five members, all of whom
have talent, and will give a perform
ance at Clio Hall, Buntyn Station,
five miles out on the Memphis and
Charleston railroad. The entertain
ment will wind up with a dance.
