ADJUSTMENTS
HaverIy.s Mastodons,

Haverly's Masiodon Ninsrtelsappeared at
Lsubrie's Theater, last night, before one Of
the largest audiences ever assembled there
Haverly has the best company upon the
road beyond any question, and his enter
tainment is almost entirely novel. The cd
jokes are usually found wanting, and the re-
suit is decidedly pleasing. The vocal fea-
lures are unusually excellent. The
entertainment opened with the Chimes
company's superb orchestra. "Sail-
ing" wss sung beautifully BY Mr..
]. OKeefe; "Gst on Ny Golden Crown" was
sung with fine comic effect by Mr.. Thomas
Sadler; "We Never Speak as We Psss byD
was effectively rendered BIZ Mr. Vernon
Reed; II will be True to Thee" was sung
with fine pathos by Mr.. J. NJ. Wood; "Mr
Michsel Murphy" was comically given By
Mr.. Billy Rich ardson; 'Glory.or the Grave"
as sung by Mr.. Thomas Campbell, was one
OF the most thrilling and stirring vocal
pieces OF the evening. The Girard Brothers
rendered Down to the Ball" acceptably,
and Mr.. Walter Hawkins, the male
soprano, brought down the house with
his beautiful serensde, Teresa" The
finale of the first part, entitled The New
Years Wedding, was exquisitely ludicrous,
and gave good opportunity for Messis.
Pete Mack, Thomas Ssdler, Dan Thompson,
james German and Eddie Manning for the
display of their comic talent. E. NJ. Hall

tormancea Down Where the Cotton Grows"
BY G1ffsn, Haley, Callan and fhe Girard
Brothers, was an enjoyable sketch. Tue
funniest feature Of the advertisement
was the discourse by Billy Richardson
on "The Tariff and Revenue Ques.
tions," which was received with an uprear.
The performance concluded with the new
spectacular extravaganza, Langtry, or Ben
Butler and The Jersey Lilly. Several of
the catching airs and cboruses from IoIanthe,
Gilbsrt & Sullivan's new opera, and from
BWlee Taylor were produced 10 this sketch.
The burlesque on the Salvation Army was
very enjoyable. As Haverly's Mastodons
leave for New Orleans Saturday afternoon at
5 o'clock, and inasmuch as a complete per-
Torrance, without any cutting whatever,
occupies two hours and half, the matinee
on Saturday afternoon will commence
promptly at 1:l5 o'cloct, as Mr..
Hayerly desires 10 convey to the citizens of
Memphis his intention to never curtail or
give an indifferent performance, from any
reason whatsoever. Ladies will please be in
their seats promptly at LILO O'Clock, as
the curtain rises promptly at that hour and
the performance will be given in its entirety.

GREENvILLE, March 5.-The Times says
thai The situation on the front OF this Levee
District is not improved and not positively
deprecated since our last issue, though the
danger points have shifted. Owing to the
most active exertions, and The good weather,
the danger. at Glenora, Esston's, E,leslie
and Skipwith's has been, temporarily at
least, averted. But the danger point has
been changed to the old hazard location, the
very citadel of the district, Lake Bolivar.
There hss been perhaps no imminent danger
there, but anything at that point is regarded
with fear and suspicion. And this will be
the case until the base has been thoroughly
cemented and tested. With the great cost
and immense structure of Lake Bolivar
levee, break in it would, be materially de-
structivs and demSralizing. Hence the
nervousness with which it is OBJ
served. Maj. Helm has properly sta
toned himself at Lake Bolivar, with ample
men and material to throttle the very shadow
of danger. The bad symptoms there consisted
in sloughing and the appearance OF sipe
water on the inside of the levee. They have
so far been checked by prompt and vigorous
action. AT this time we can but hope for q
passing over of the danger. II this great
levee passes through one high water I'M
broken it will give most beneficial sense OF
security TO the largest portion of the district.
The general condition of the upper rivers ia
favorable. II the fall is M aini aimed lew
days longer it will reach here and the pres
emf danger be syerted,
