After partaking of the edibles, and when
the champagne began to flow, Capt. Jas. W.
Lambert as "master Of ceremonies an
nounced few toasts which were responded
to by various gentlemen. The first toats
was "The Press, % and Mai L. Barksdale, was
enthusiastically called upon to answer for the
Press Of Mississippi. Major Barksdale's
speech was mastery one, and such as is
rarely heard. Very many of his remarks
were highly applauded, and his speech from
beginning to end was listened to with the
closest attention.
To the next toast, "Our State" Mr. 5. H.
Stackhouse, was called to reply, which he
did felictously, but briefly.
The toast "Our City," called up Capt A.
II. Foster, who, in a brief speech, made
happy illusions to city affairs, and particu.
larly to the pleasure Of the occasion.
"Our Guests" was the next toast pro-
posed, and was most happily responded to
by Major Stockdale.
"The Ladies'" brought to his feet our
friend Capt Emmett l.. Ross, one Of the
most gifted poets in the State, and author
of that beautiful little poem which he reci-
ted so effectively On Wednesday night
entitled ''The Sock that Baby Wore"

toast "Our Asylums," in a beautiful and
touching manner.

The Goldens produced the comedy drama
of "M'liss" at Turner hall last evening. The
play is certainly not great one, and depends
in great measure upon situations for its sue.
cess. Yet, the humor and pathos are SO well
blended together that it presents an interest
ing and enjoyable entertainment.
The character of "Mliss" is that of an err
ratio child of nature, and afforded Miss Bella
Golden the opportunity of representing a
character in every way opposite to the one
she assumed on the previous evening. The
wild uni trained spirit Of the girl, her daring,
her affec ion, so artless yet SO pure and great,
were all in their way excellent to a great de-
gree, but the "chic" which she throws into
the character, and the loving pathos with
which she surrounds it makes it an imperson-
alton of considerable merit.
Mr. Martin Golden, as "Yuba Bill" pre-
sented rough and manly picture of what may
be called NATURES gentleman, bold and fear.
less to all around, but to "M'liss" as tender
as father.
Judge McSnarley'' in the person of Harry
Robinson, found an efficient representative,
and the quaint humor of the comedian was
well appreciated.
The vllainous Emanuel Torres in the
hands of Mr.. Prestwood was made as ugly as
needs be, and Mr.. J. E. Wilson presented a
model school master, but there is considerable
sameness and formality in his representations
Mr.. Wilson is a very careful actor, in fact, in
one way too careful, and he wants to throw of
more than one half his formality, and to aban,
don himself fully to his characters before he
can be a successful one.

snicids Of James Callaghan.

Suicide OF James CsaildShnh.
At an early hour yesterday evening, be-
tween 7 and O'Clock, our community was
shocked by the news of the suicide of Mr..
lanes Callaghan. 1t seemed almost incredl-
BILE to the many friends of Mr.. c., who had
seen him only few hours before, in his usual
health and spirits. Mr.. c., to all outward
appearances, seemed entirely rational at late
hour of the day, and returned to his home, on
South Flores street, in good humor, took
drink, and, not long after, gave his wife some
money, and then remarked that he was going
to shoot himself; his wife protesting against
his assertion, but he retired to stable back OF
the house and shot himself in the head, the
wound causing instant DEATH Drs. Hadra,
Herff and..Terrell were called, but of course,
their presence was useless. Justice Adam
was informed, and proceeded to impannel
Jury and hold an inquest. The testimony OF
the widow was taken, and the jury adjourned
until o'clock this morning, when the verdict
will be rendered. A large number Of friends
gathered at the scene of the termination of
valuable life, and the deepest sympathy is telt
by our citizens for the " dow and relatives of
the deceased. No cause is assigned for the
deed; temporary alteration of the mind
must have been the trouble.
INQUEST.
At the inquest held upon the body of James
Callaghan the following testimany was adj
duced:
Mrs. Mary Callaghan deposed that she was
the wife of the deceased. He came home
this evening February 5th) about six or half
past. When he came home he took drink
and gave her money to buy some articles, and
said he was going to see MIR. Dryer about go
ing to the theatre. A few minutes after he
called her and said he was going to shoot him
self She begged him not to, but he went to
he stable and shot himself. The deceased
was % or "a years of age, and native of San
Antonio, Texas.
DR.. Adolph Herff sworn; tina. he was called
to see Mr.. James Callaghan, in company with
his father; upon their arrival they found that
he was dead. The body was lying in stable
with pistol in bis hand. The ball had enter
ed the lower portion of the frontal bone be-
tween the eyes, i1fic,ing deadly wound. 1t
was his opinion that James Ca''aghan came to
his death from gln shot wound, inflicted by
MS own hand.
Louis Stumberg deposed that he was sitting
at his supper table at about 6:5o p. m, when
he heard shot and scream from somebody,
followed Immediately after. He took his hat
and ran over the fence to the lot of James
Ca1laghan, where he found Mrs. Callaghan
saying, my husband has shot himself, and she
did not know what for. l struck light and
found Mr.. Jrmes Callaghan in the door of the
stable, lying straight upon bis back, with his
right hand by his side and in it was clasped
pistol.
The verdict of the jury was as follows:
''We, the jury. empaneled in the case of the
death of James Callaghan, from the evidence
before us, axe of the opinion, the same is con-
elusive, that James Callaghan came to his
death from gun shot wound, inflicted by his
own hand"
