An item is going the rounds to

here, what woman is running a

Ever since we have been running

poor husband, who got up to light

greenbackers in Maine, it needs
to repent. No matter if the hard

do stand by with hard hearts and
stiff necks, and jeer and make

go forward, knoel at the rail and
ask for pardon. 1t is always
better to feel that one is prepared
to die. 1t Is a little early, too, for
the democrats to disband. They
have only got control of the SEM

Wait until they get the presidency

LEUBRIE's rHEArER-RIoHELIEU.

LEUBRIE's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
notwithstanding the threatening
weather, a large audience, composed Of.
the brains and fashion Of the city,
attended Lcubrie's thcater last even
ing, when Bulwer's play Of Richie
lieu, or the Conspiracy" was put upon
the boards, with Mccullough in the
title role. The play is SO familiar to
all theater-goers, and McCullough's
im~personation so well known, that 10
is almost needless to comment upon
it, and it is enough to say that it was
all hal could be desired by the most
fastidious critic. Mccullough never
forgets himself, and never for an. in
slant steps out of character. After
having seen him play Jack Cade," it
would be hard to imagine him as play
ing "Richelieu," but, having seen him
in the latter character, one finds him
self wondering why a cardinals hat
was never bestowed upon him. He
was well supported by Fred Warde
as Adrian de Mauprat. He came in
for his full share of applause, and in
the riot scene, where he rushes from
Richelieu's chamber and confronts
the mob, his acting was thrilling.
Langdon as Baradas also fully sus-
tanned the reputation he has already
won, and John 7. Sutton, as Joseph,
the simple-minded monk, rose high in
the estimation of the audience. The
part of Julia de Mortimer was we'll
taken by Miss Kate Forsyth, who will
henCefOrth be remembered by Mem
phis people with pleasurable emo.
tons. The minor parts were also we'll
done, but none were prominent enough
to deserve especial mention. At the
matinee to-day we have ,'Virginius,'
and tonight the Gladiator when
the Chickasaw Guards, attended by
ladies, will be present, as a compli-
ment to their friend, the great ira
gedian.

mony is confirmed by many later

attended by fearful mortality from
