THE now Mozart Hall, corner Monroe
and Second streets, was thrown open to
the public last night and inaugurated un-
der very pleasing auspices. The attrac-
tive entertainment given by Miss Minnie
Hauk and her talented company of
artists was attended by many Of our best
people, The lady expressed herself
after the concert as very much
pleased with the acoustic properties
Of the hall, but not more highly than
with her intelligent auditors. She was at
once on good understanding with them
and they seemed TO share her enthusiasm
and admiration, The event reflects great
credit upon the Mozarts and establishes
the fact that they arc animated by
worthy parpo,es in bringing to
Memphis and in developing a high
order of musical talent and that
they are familiar with business methods.
When their hall, their costly pianos and
other properties were burned few weeks
ago i was freely prophesied that they
would not rally soon, il ever, from such
blow. But those who said so did not
know the earnestness and detormina-
ton of the Mozarts Many members
OF the society are leading busi.
ness men Of family, who desire
TO foster a love for good music. in

TRE Republican leaders are determined
to raise the bloody shirt issue next year.
They have used it effectively in the past,
and they know that they can arouse the
Northern masses with that when every
thing else fails The Democrats can make
Republican success an absolute certainty
by placing a Southern man on the next
Presidential ticket. The New York
Herald, which always plays into the
hands of the Republican party, very
adroitly seconds the motion. OF course
the war has been over nearly twenty
years, and it ought to be forgotten and
has been in great measure, but Northern
speakers and papers can arouse lis
slumbering memories and all its
wicked preudices with as unerring GER
tainty as the lightnings bolt can rend a
forest tree Last time they lodged of
on the tariff issue, and caught the Demo.
crats mapping. That cannot be done
again, but the old sectional issue can be
stirred up when all else fails, and that is
what they have 10 meet next year.
