made to him here for SHpersedeGs in the

dened by a woe that az the last reached
the audience, and broke the few remaining
barriers to its sympathy. IL was a great
triumph by a great actor, one worthy of a
reputation that, rich as 1t Is, Will be richer
still, for It has not yet reached the limits of
its possibilities. The contrast between a hale
and vigorous old age, sustained by kingly
station and power, and a weak and driveling
old age, with only the faint glimmer of a
dream to tighten the sadness of Its perpetual
gloom, was delineated by master, with
whom hereafter the people of Memphis will
associate the characters under re-
view. 1t must be a great pleasure
to a man so gifted to know that
ne Is the cause of unalloyed pleasure In
others. If any thing were needed to highten
that pleasure, Mr.. Mccullough can fad 1t in
the fact that here his most arieut admirers
are those most cultured, among them many
members of our bench and bar, some of
whom can only be drawn to the theater

FaH of IdrqHiti, and katherine and PetTn-

fashionables.
Toe Mccullough Dramatic Company.
In the tragedy of King Lear, which vas
produced at the Theater last night the mem
b3rs OF Mr.. M Cullough's company appeared
II considerable advantage. Mr.. Charles Bar
ron as Edgar" enacted the role 30 much to
the satisfaction of the audience that he was
heartily applauded a number of times.
During the week he has appeared to much
advantage as 'Iago," "Cassius," and
last night as Edgar" He is a
pleasing and finished actor, and has be-
come popular with our theater-goers.
Dir. John H. Lane, another good actor,
played to advantage last night in the role
"Goster." His acting was duly appreciated
by the audience. Among others who have
made good impressions on our theater- goers
are MIR. II. A. Langdon and Mr. John p.
Sutton. Miss Emma Stockman, leading
lady, has attracted public attention by her
clever and pleasing rendition of such roles as
''Desdemonia, Virginia, " and "Cordelia.''
Her pretty face and figure and good reading
pleased everybody. The other ladies, Miss
Augusta Foster and Miss Virginia Thorne,
have also played well during the week. The
company Is well balanced and is strong, rem
dering excellent support to Mr.. NJ 'Cullough.

SEC. SIBERIAN
Writes a Letter to Assistant Treas
urer HilIhOuse on a Subject of
Vital Importance to National
Bankers and Financial
Circles Generally,

NEW YORK, March l3.-Sec. Sherman
has written the following letter to AS
slstant Treasurer HillhCuse:
SIR have received q number of letters
from bankers and dealers in government &C.
curlties, expressing the apprehension that
this department will cali upon National bank
repositories for very large sums to meet the
calls of the ak per cent. bonds, maturing in
April and May, IN advance OF their actual
presentation for payment, thus producing at
the busy season Of the year the boarding
of money in the treasury in a1va &c Of its
need for such payment. he fear is expressed
that such boarding will interfere with the
current business OF the country, and | am sp-
pealcd TO to relieve the public from this APP
prehension. 1t Is rot the purpose of the de-
partment to call the money deposited with
the public repositories into the treasury, ex-
cept as it Is needed for the payment of the
called bonds The great body of these bonds
are now in possession OF the government and
their payment will be made by simple credit.
The apprehension, therefore, Is IN a great
measure groundless, but you may give the
assurance to all interested that the proceeds
Of the four per cent bonds will not be called
into the treasury until necessary to make the
payment of the called bonds, and that the
business will be so conducted as not unneces-
sarily to interfere with the money market.
As public officer l cannot waive the right
and duty to judge of the time and amount
Ct money to be drawn, but the government is
interested with all citizens in completing
r uoding operations by makingan exchange
of four per cent bonds for six per cents
with as little disturbance as possible,

Is supposed by etiquette, to be assisted by

The choir having intoned the last anthem,
