HeImbOld's Buchu.

Helmbold's Buchu has long been knowR
as one Of the most valuable medicines at
tainable in certain classes of diseases, such
as dyspepsia, chronic rheumatism, dropsy
outaneous affections, and especially affec-
tons of the urinary organs. AS . diuretic,
it is superior TO almost any other medi-
ci Elm use, and tho great care with which
II s prepared, the absolute purity of the
preparation, and the diligence used in the
selection Of the crude material, have made
il known far and wide as a reliable and
effective preparation, and one that can
always be used with safety and benefit.
The great success Of Helmbold's Buchu
has led to the production Of many spur
iouS preparations, which are made cheap
ly and placed upon the market TO be sold
on the reputation acquired by Helmbold's
original preparation. Parties who desire
a really good medicine should be carcfl
and use Helmbold's only.

LEDGER Office without bctraying tho
slightest emotion or evidence that be
was carrying a great secret, When
asked for the sixty-ninth time IL there
was any news, he replied With more
than usual prOmptness and EARNEST
ness. Nothing at all very quiet to-
day" Then he went up to the edito-
rial parlor in the LEDGER Office, and
wrote a brief personal about the ar
rival of VIM. H. Vanderbilt. 1t was
short and to the point, and eFinced no
surprise, for this might have caused
VIM. H. to think that we we're not
used to the arrival or departure of
railroad millionaires every day. But
the great secret was working its way
out through other channels, and the
boom followed rightin the tracks ofour
discreet operator. 1t was astonish-
ing how many people knew in
ten minutes that Vanderbilt and
Jay Gould and Huntington were
closeted together at the hotel, and
that Memphis was to be the objective
and distributing point of the biggest
railway system in the country; that
the Mississippi would soon be bridged
and other improvements made by an
Eastern syndicate organized to buy
and control the whole place. Then
the brokers and real estate men who
got wind Of the ground swell, began
to rush in and give notice that as the
transactions were only verbal and no
money had passed, they believed
they would hold on a little.
Nobody had stocks or real estate to
sell for nea%rlyfive minutes. About the
time they got through and went out
chuckling that they had got ahead of
that newspaper man for once and the
forms of the paper were going down to
the press, in rushed an excited,
breathless clerk from the hoteL great
drops of pe~rspiration as large as Bos-
ton beans chasing each other down his
handsome face. Throwing himself down
upon an ottoman and opening his
vest for fresh air,he gasped; ut is not
Vanderbilt. 1t is only one Of the AS
tors on his way to Hot Springs" The
forms were opened, the correction
made, and the boom was v But il
was very lively and exhilirating while
it lasted. 1t beat the boom at Nash
vile the other day when they heard
that Louisville had scooped up all
their railroads.

TIE CHILD OF TUE sIEsRAs.

-@--L vi ClGnEAE
Annie Pixley and her troupe cap
tiyated the crowd last night. The
theater wa we'll filed, and the visitors
were delighted. The gentle Annie is
a merry little antic player, and she
has talent, original, cute and varied.
She sings charmingly, cuts shines
amusingly and has the spirit and ca
pering liveliness of a wild fawn.
A better pleased audience
has not attended the the
alter during the season, and the
Pixley party are set down fer a fine
patronage throughout the present
week. The players supporting the
bright young actress are all good, and
the drama is full of interest, being
constructed from one of Bret Harte's
most entertaining sketches, drawn
carefully from nature. The heroine
is a true child of the western wilds,
and no happier illustration of the part
could be imagined than that rendered
by Annie Pixley.
LECTURE TN PRISON LIFE.
Colonel John +. Mines, who served
his time as a prisoner of war in the

THE COMING OPERA.
The Abbott English opera troupe
open next Monday night in Gounod's
new and charming musical work of
Romeo and Juliet, the plot of which
is familiar to all who ever took an inter
est in Shakespeare. While the story
Of the original author is closely fol-
lowed it is said that the text is, to
some extent, reconstructed, and a few
dashes Of French spice has been in
troduced by the persons who arranged
the hbretto, and this has been trans
ferred to the English translation.
GOunOd, the eminent composer set the
piece to music with great skill, and
the many delightful musical morceaux
are interpreted through the opera.
Speaking of them an exchange
says: The opening chorus, "Hours
Swiftly Winging," is a gem ;
being in moderately slow time, it
gives the singers an admirable oppor-
tunity of Increasing the interest of the
masked ball by the graceful steps of a
minuet. Juliet's entry, DO You
Hear with an arpeggio accompani-
ment, is very effective, but still more
so is the subsequent valse, LET me
Live On" in which Emma Abbott in
her best manner displayed the cult
walton other voice. The encore she
received was satisfactory evidence of
appreciation. The cadenza which
Miss Abbott has interpolated at the
end ofthis aria is a brilliant and fin,
ished bit of artistic vQcalization. The
ballad of"Queen Nab was we'll sung
by Mr.. Stoddart. 1t is quite a task
for a singer, and shows the composers
genius in the accompaniment. The
duet, Angel, all Blameless, . between
Romeo and Juliet, is exquisite. 1t
received well deserved applause.
