The silver King.

This superb attraction was presented at
Deubrie's Theater last night for the second
time, the audience being perhaps better
pleased than on me previous evening.
The entertainn1entf furnished is of the very
best order; and cannot fail to please the
most refined taste, even while it must
give pleasure to those whose knowledge
OF the drama and whose ideas OF what is
proper upon the stage are not so pro-
-nounced. In many respects the Sttuer
king is a wonderful production. Nothing
like it has ever been seen in Memphis be-
fore. The scenery aside, there is more in
it than can be found in any of the ordi-
nary dramas of the present day. There
are several characters one might expect to
find as well In America as in England
the scene OF the play-but there are al
least three cast upon a decdedly English
or better still, London mould. No one
who has ever read the vivid sketches o
Dickens can fail to recognize them a
once. A peculiarity of the play is that
while there is nothing of the ''high mora
tone," yet every scene points a moral. Th'
Siirer King all the week, Thursday ant
| Saturday matinees.

THE PRINCE IMPERIAL
of Germany the Guest of Alfonso at n
Brutal BuIl Fight.

Prince Frederick William was on Satur-
day entertained by King Alfonso with a
special bull fight. Great pains were taken
to secure young and powerful bull OF
uncommon ferocity, and the matadors fee
for killing this animal in the presence of
the German Crown Prince was increased
from the usual one of 81 900 to 3, 900.
The uncommon spectacle OF royal bull
fight so late in November drew an i'm
mense crowd to the amphitheater and over
10000 spectators secured admission. The
bull, when led into the arena, set the au-
dience wild with enthusiasm over his con-
dition and mettle. The two earlier stages
of the fight, in which the bull is angered
with the crimson cloak, and then mad
dened with small darts, were made un-
comonly interesting by the marvellous
dexterity enforced upon his tormenters by
the savagery of the animal. When the
bull was at length sufficiently wild for the
third stage of the fight the scene became
one ofleXtraordiuary excitement, everyone
of theitrained horses being thrown, and
one terribly gored, though none of the plea
dors were injured. Prince Frederick
showed intense interest in this, the showy
part OF the fight. The last part of the
battle was conducted so skillfully on the

preted by Misses NJ. Hannah and NJ. Karr.
Mrs: Hawks next sang "Hearest Thou 2"
by Tito Mettei, followed by "Water
Crosses" Both selections were charm
ingly sung. The society then gave a
chorus from Lucia, "Sweetly Wandering
in the Moonlight" with superb effect,
though the closing number, Sodermann's IS
Swedish Wedding March," was almost
equally as well done. The double male
quartette also rendered choice selection.
The audience was critical one and the
applause was generous, but not more so
than the entertainment deserved. Prof.
Winkler was musical conductor.

Occasional Correspondence of the Appeal
Duck HILL, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Miss,
November 26.-On the 2Sth of this month
there is expected, under the influence and
auspices of the immigration Bureau of
Mississippi, an excursion of some 700 or
500 Iowa and Indiana farmers, who are
prospecting for investments in lands in
this section; and we are delighted at the
prospect of the settlement of considera-
bic number of these gentlemen around
Duck Hill, Montgomery county.
understand Mr.. d. d. Wilkins, who
owns and controls probably $4,000 acres of
the finest lands around Duck Hill, afford
ing splendid facilities for stock-raising and
the cultivation of all fruits known to this
climate, and comprising some of the best
cotton and corn lands outside OF the Yazoo
delta, has determined to give these gentle
men extraordinary inducements in price
and quantity of lands.
We feel especially confident of the
favorable prospects of the location of these
gentlemen here, because of the fact that
all these lands lie so near the railroad
depot. In fact, the Illinois Central runs
through the lands of Mr.. wilkins for four
miles, with the depot in the center.
We hope soon to announce fine results,
both to the immigrants and community, by
their settlement here. DUCK HILL.

oF GUILT
% Detect PickpOcket - Its
~sxplanatit N Before n Justice.

a curious instance of the superstition
of the Southern darlsy was given in a
trial yesterday before Justice Quigley
At a social gathering on Winchester
street night or two since one of the
guests, John Grady, whose nickname is
Luck" was unlucky enough to lose $l1
in money. He stood in a crowd on the
floor and shifted his purse from one pocket
to the other. 1t fell through hole in his
pocket to the floor, but its loss was not
discovered for several minutes. When it
was found out Luck" did not know whom
to accuse and one of the party suggested
the sitter test. 1t was agreed to and
a sitter was brought from the kitchen.
Holding this edgeways the high priest
bored a gimlet-hole in the upper side and
attached string to the handle. Then he
called upon those present to come for
ward one at time and take hold of the
string, a sort of doggerel being repeated
meanwhile. Should the sitter turn, the
person holl ling it was pronounced guilty
One by one the guests held the sitter sus-
pended, but it did not revolve. The mo-
ment that it was grasped by Oscar Jones,
however, it began whirling rapidly,
whether from a consciousness of guilt and
therefore an attempt to keep it from turn
ing, cannot be said, but it is very certain
that Oscar at once dropped the sitter to
the floor, called it liar and stoutly de-
clared his innocence. On the strength of
this a warrant was sworn out by Grady,
accusing Jones of the theft. Justice Quig-
| ley dismissed the suit.
