CONCERT AT Esr1vAL

CONCERT AT EsTIvAL.
The concert and hop of the Bluff
City Grays at Estival park last night
was a brilliant success, and an coca
sion long to be remembered with pleas
urable emotions by those present.
The home singers added to their al
ready we'll earned laurels, and quite
distinguished themselves. Memphis
has Just cause TO be proud of SO much
local talent. An enthusiastic recep-
ton was given Miss Bessie Pierce Of
Little Rock, who sings with marvellous
sweetness. Her voice, though not of
great compass, is pure and full of mel
ody. She figured in the prison Gene
from I'll Trovatore," and sang Sweet
Bessie Der the Lea, and an aria,
showing in the last a perfect control
of voice rarely seen in an amateur.
The hop which followed after the
concert was equally successful and
enjoyable, and was participated in by
a large number of young people,, who
fingered about the grounds until the
wee sma' hours of morning. The
night was delightful and the crowd one
of the largest that ever assembled at
this beautiful park.

wherefore These ChidinG.:

The exquisitely sensitive and cul-
tured moral nature of the Galveston
News nestor is perturbed. Like the
delicate mechanism of the eOlian harp,
the spiritual organism of the nestor
catches the faintest breath of suspicion
and vibrates in solemnly weird and
melancholy cadences. Attune your au-
ricular appendage, gentle reader, and
hush:
The Waco EXANnNER says that
in that city the question of New Years
receptions and calls is beginning to
receive consideration, whether to keep
open house for callers on Saturday or
Monday. The old rule, when it is i'm
possible to choose between two courses,
take neither, may hold good in this
case The abuse Of the custom of New
Years calls has induced many to be
lieve that it would he best to drop
them altogether. This would be going
little too far; but to drop the prac-
tee of plying guests with wines and
liquors, and to inculcate the idea that
callers who would be welcome on other
days are not exactly privileged to take
advantage of the day to make unwel-
come calls and indulge in impertinent
behavior, might remove the main OBJ
jections to the custom. People who
wind up series of calls III state of
intoXicatiou reflect no credit on the
custom, themselves or their hosts.

One of the public institutions OF
our city is the grocery house of John

in respect to the quantity OF goods

is equal to the finest grocery houses
in Galveston, New Orleans or other
large cities. One need only to pass
by this establishment TO perceive
that il is doing an immense business,
and an inspection OF the character ct
the goods sold speaks well for the
cultured tastes Of our people. This
house deals exclusively i'll fine and
rare goods, and the quantities OF
delicate viands sold IN Waco
by this house is simply immense.
One of the spccialties is California
canned goods, which were purchased
in CalitorniB direct by the carload,
mother of fine English sauces, pic
kles, vinegars and condiments. The
sale OF these goods by the house OF
J Ohm f. Marshal is very large All
other goods are in like manner only
of the choicest and rarest, and yet
the sales are prodigi0us. In cary
