ADJUSTMENTS
AN ARABIAN NIGHT.

Augustin Days new comedy made
a hit at Leubrie's theater last night
that will secure the company full
houses for the remainder Of the en-
gagement. The entire company is
fine and the play itself is a brilliant
one of its kind, Astounding in 'situa-
tions' of a telling character. The
leading parts as sustained by Mr. E..
F. Thorne and Miss Carlotta Evelyn,
were excellent. Miss Evelyn was the
wild rose of Yucatan'' to perfection,
her ease and naturalne ss of manner
completely captivating the audience.
The much abused son-in-law, Mr..
Alex Sprinkle, was the best piece of
comedy acting seen on our stage in
many a day, and Mr.. ThorRe may con-
graduate himself upon having made a
complete conquest of our theater GO
ing public. The part Of the Top, La
fayette Noodle, was filed by Mr..
Harry JoSephs, whose laugh, alone,
ought to make his fortune. 1t was so
contagious that it was repeated by
everybody in the audience the mo-
ment it left his lips. Mrs. Clara Mae
der was the regulation mOther-in-law
to the life-and to the death,
and was highly suggestive
to many man among
the spectators. Mrs. Thorne was
charming as Miss Katie Sprinkle, and
acted her part admirably. Herbert
Rembrent madea passable artist and
enthusiast, and Geo.,S. Robinson, as
the premium cannon-ball tosser, was
a brilliant success. The house was
kcptin one continued strain of merri-
ment FROM beginning to end of the
play, which contained so many striking
passages that it was hard to decide
which was most so. The balance of
the cast was very good, and did all in
the power of those who fill minor
parts to make the play a success. To-
night IAN Arabian Night will be
repeated, and deserves a full house.

STORY OF 4 SHOT GUN.
A Warning to Those who Handle
Firearms.

There is one sad mar in south
Memphis to-day. Yesterday he was
as cheerful as any man in the tenth
ward and now he is inconsolable. 1t
all came about from the handling of a
double barrclled shot gun. A simple
statement Of the facts will teach
others u lesson if not point a moral
and adorn a tale. This is our only
apology for intruding upon the privacy
which is usually respected if not
considered sacred even by the press.
The citizens of a well-to-do neigh
hood in the tenth ward have been an
noyed Of late by a chiccken-thief.
The theits have been committed regu-
larly and Systematically. Four chick
ems would be taken every time, at an
interval of three or four days. 1t
was evident that some small family
was enjoying a surfeit Of chickens,
without going to market or purehas-
ing from the huckSters. One gentle
man living at the corner of Jack
son and Seventh street, felt it
bis duty to make an example of the
thief. Last night he loaded a double
barrelled shotgun to the muzzle with
heavy slugs, and planted it his chick
en- house, pointing grimly at the only
door, where it was supposed the thief
would enter. A string was attached
to the triggers and brought around to
the front in such a way that any
one entering would trip on the
string and discharge the gun. Lit
tie dreaming the results, he
told his wife about it; announced
around the neighborhood that that he
would be away from home that night.
To make things sure he and his wife
went away. This morning they re-
turned. The gun had gone off with
terrible effect to the owners nerves.
1t was missing, as were all the chick
ems in the hen-house. The thief
could see the glittering barrels by
the light of the moon, aud after
helping himself to a fine shotgun,
with y. s." on the breach, became
embroidered, and cleaned out all the
poultry in sight. Mr.. ", S" is wan
dering around, rather dazed, among
the junk shops to-day, looking fer a
gun labelled 81. S." while Mrs. S.
is indignant and disgusted at the
loss of her chickens. So it seems
that even the best laid shot guns 'alt
gang aglee."

The Irish Llterary Association

IL irish Literary Association.
We are glad to be able to announce
that this ancient and honored society,
which has done SO much to enlighten
the community, to educate and to
bring out men and put them forward
in life, has been revived after a tenn
porary suspension, and is again in its
usual field ofusefulnes and good work.
Through the influence of Mr.. John
Lilly, one Of the oldest and most zeal
Gus members, the association has
secured the use of the hall of the
Knights ofInnisfail, on Second street,
near Adams, and its extensive library
has been removed to that place.
Meetings are held every Monday
night. The old members are expected
to return aud take an active part as
in former years. Quite a literary revi-
val is expected.

night it was worth slO2, 900. Our
county treasury will soon be in as flush
