MEMPHIS. TKNN., October 2. 1883. !
The money market was activ,
enough yesterday, and to day an un
usual briskness is being impaired BY
the collections, which were Of a yer,
liberal character in every branch Of
traffic The banks had all they could
do TO supply funds, and the currency
supply proved inadequate to the de.
mand. Many were compelled to ac
cept gold when they wanted paper,
and large quantity Of silver was used
IN the interchange,or settlement of ac {.
counts. As a whole, debts were
promptly met, and the volume Of
transactions largely exceed anything
known here at the same date for many
years Among other items heavy
sum was distributed to railway hands
40 this vicinity, whore a very large
force has been busily engaged
throughout the past month. The
borrowing demand for money is fair,
while the supplyis equal to it and the
current rate is 8 per cent. Exchange
has settled down to iasc discount
buyingon the East and par selling for
drafts on New York. On New Or.

ACTORS AND ACTING.

The drama, while being one Of the
fine arts and recogl ized everywhere
as legitimate calling, nevertheless
labors under its disadvantages and
drawbacks, and these are great or
little corresponding with the posi-
ton in the actual and dramatic
world of the devOtee of the profess
sion. Even when we get up among
the "stars," the 'great guns" of the
business, we still find inequalities
and even absurditieS prevailing as
a characteristic of the unreal life
which theatrical people lead and
in this respect they do not greatly
differ from people in real life.
A year or two ago American
Booth went to Europe, and his
career there was an unequivocal
success everywhere. Among the
professional people who became his
friends, English Irving was first
and foremost. Now, Irving is com
ing to America, and speculation is
rife as to what kind of reception he
will get. Cath" the celebrated
correspondent, thinks that Booth,
in this country, will draw more
than Irving side by side with him,
Irving excelS all managers of this
period in mounting his pieces. There
are certain parts adapted to him
like Charles I.-where he has no
equal. But in the ShakspeareRn
drama it is believed Booth Is the
better equipped OF the two, notwith-
standing he has not that youthful
health he enjoyed many years ago.
In the first place, he has finer face
and figure; the gentleman'and some
thing Of the scholar are in Booth ;
Irving is said to be. cosrser in frame,
more shambling in make, and
does not possess the manly
beauty. Irving has a certain sub
lety, but Booth has an intellectual
sublety which he does not himself
understand. Booth has the ele.
ments of nature and character

ANOTHER CLOUD is rising like a
pail over the republican hosts. The
Chicago Times has information
to the effect that the democrats
threaten to investigate next winter
the manner of the appointment Of
Stanley Matthews to the supreme
bench. This appointment is said
to have been the result of a bargain
between Garfield and Jay Gould by
which the latter. in return for the
appointment Of Matthews, who had
previously favored certain railroad
legislation in which Garfield was
interested, was to furnish large
sum of money for the Garfield cam
paign. If the democrats choose to
go into this matter, they can make
the session very interesting.

KILL THEM AT ONCE.

The particulars of a very aggra-
waited case of seduction and de-
bauchery appear in the telegraphic
reports in this mornings HERALD.
The victim, girl noted for her
beauty, becoming infatuated with a
backwoods no account, as girls have
done before and will do again,
follows him into the woods where
his occupation is followed; the next
that is heard of her is that
she has been drenched with coal
oil and burned almost to a
cinder, and in this terrible cOndi-
ton fingers along for days without
friendly assistance. There is Ger
tainly very lurid corner in hell
waiting for the perpetrators Of such
horrible crimes, but that need not
prevent earthly methods of punish
ment from intervening just now.
The things in human form who
could have assisted her, but would
not, are beneath the depths of
execration; those who are RESPONSE
bic for the act itself will have to
go to another sphere of existence
before their position among the
devils at large can be exactly de-
fned-our diction here is too feeble,
too exasperatingIy inadequate.
When one calmly contemplates
events like the one referred to and
nobody to blame;" the Jennie era
mer horror and nobody guilty ;"
it Is no wonder that sometimes
reason is dethroned in the pursuit
Of vengeance. IL a father, or a
brother, under such circumstances
is not Invested by the God of nature
with a divine authority to kill, then
surely no such authority and none
Of any kind ever existed. When
law will not protect the weak and
avenge the wrongs of those who
have been wronged, it becomes
a solemn mockery, a kind
OF trifing, useless show, and
those who need protection must
perforce resort to the cunning of
their own minds and the strength
Of their own arms.
The law permitted the seducers
and murderers of Jennie Cramer to
go at large and receive the plaudits
and congratulations Of a highly
moral community; we venture the
prediction that 1t will never seri-
ously injure any one Of the parties
to this latest and most horrible
crime.

The DAsTARDLY attempt at rob
berry. If not murder, committed in
the broad light Of day and in a pub
lie business house in this city, yes
terday, should serve as an addi-
tional reminder Of the fact that we
have q dangerous element in our
midst, an element whose trsnsac-
lions are never foreshadowed. To
deal leniently with the bad may be
y good enough thing for them, hut
It is extremely rough on those who
are not bad; and when the pro-
scribed class are SO hald to catch
even after the perpstration of Of
, fences, we can certainly not do less
than make it lively for them when
caught. We dent want a Wig lance
committee or any other laWless Or
gsnization here; but sometimes the
instinct of self-preserVation over
comes the regard for law and order,
and then wrong things are made
right in a manner more hasty shan
commendable.

strangely poured into him, but the
mould was q perfect one. There is
nothing obese. slovenly or affected
about him. He is one of the best
artlculators we ever had upon the
stage. Hamlet, Iago, Ricbelieu,
ShyIock and Bertuccio are among
his great characters. He has unc-
ton, a rare quality upon the stage
nowadays. Unction is the quality
which excites emotion with all the
deeper feelings like devotion, tend
erness and sweet fervor. Some act
ors have no knowledge of any such
thing.
Salt Lake would be pleased with
a visit from either or both of these
eminent artists; it has shown on
several occasions that 1t is not want
ing in culture, and would give them
a fine reception and a substantial
send-Off.

THE SPREAD OF PEsrnENCE

From different parts Of Egypt,
Turkey and other portions Of Eu-
rope come the dreadful tidiDgs Of
the prevalence and spread Of cholera ;
and from the Gulf States we hear
of that awful scourge, yellow
fever, having effected a landing and
travelling inland at fearful rate.
Those who are at all familiar with
the nature of these pests need not
be advised that they are more des-
tructive than war or famine, and
only require an introduction to
firmly entrench themselves any
where during warm weather.
We cannot do our eastern breth-
rem in the ties of common humanity
any good, unless sympathy and a
sincere hope for better things may
be considered as doing good; so the
test thing that can be done here is
to head off the monster from
our own houses. 1t is well
known that uncleanliness and
a lack of ordinary sanitary
regulations in any community are
direct invitation to cholera such
as, during the heated tenn, 1t sell
dom fails to respond to. We do
not have it now, have never had it
to any great extent, and, further
more, are perfectly willing to get
along without it; bat it should be
taken into consideration that this
city Is much more thickly populated
than ever before, that every resi-
dence and tenement is filed, and
that with such swarming numbers
it requires but very little inaction
or neglect to create filth, which re-
becomes simply a pool
wherein the germs of disease and
is much cheaper and less trouble>
some to prevent than to cure; and |
now is the accepted time for pre-
death are created and |
waited far and wide. 1t |
yentiye measures to begin. 1t |
seems as though the creation of a
board of health, among whom
should be one or more of |
our leading physicians, would |
be decided step in the right di-
rection, supplemented by more
stringent ordinances in relation to |
and the removal of |
garbage than those we now have.
The next thing-and it should not |
be long delayed-is the construction
of a system of sewers throughout
the more thickly populated portions |
of the city, with elaborate drainage |
It is morally certain |
that such improvements, even if |
proYidentially their good offices
should not DO Immediately required,
could by no possibility work injury !
or harm to any portion of the city |
and though the expense might be |
this fact is trlfing in
comparison with the spectacle of a
large number of professions daily
vending their way to the cemetery. |
Let us head off the pestilence; it |
is better to do this when we are not |
compelled to, than to fight it when
we have no choice.

THE FAST TRAINS

Tie world moves and we move
with it; the times change and we
change CORRESPONDENCE. There
NAV be nothing new under the sun
if we discuss elements and condi-
tons merely; but otherwise there Is
not only something new but many
things quite startling every day in
the year, almost every hour in the
day.
Those who remember the Utah of
thirty-fve years ago can still realize
something of the feeling of gratif-
cation which perYaded the COM
munity when the overland mail
line commenced making regular
trips through Salt Lake City, bring
ing letters and papers not more than
a month old from friends and places
in the east; and then, many years
later, came the famous pony express
line, shortening the time Of trans
mission one-half; this was consid-
cred phenomenal; the telegraph line
placed US in immediate communica-
ton so far as the news was con-
cerned, but we still had to wait pa
tiently for the letter-laden and paper
5urdened mail coach; but as the
Union Pacific Railway approached
us on the east and the Central
Pacific on the west, the time was
gradually shortened, until, when
the locomotive bell resounded in
our gOrges and it's welcome screech
.aWoke the echoes of our plains, the
time Of delivery of mails from the
east was reduced to six days and
from the west to three days, and
then it seemed as though the very
pinnacle Of progress had been
reached. Not so, however; as the
rOadbeds became more solid, the
curves, angles, stoppages and ap-
pliances better understood, more
time was taken off, then more and
more, and now the daily paper IS
sued IN New York City on Sunday
INC sg is read in Salt Lake City
sib .ol4 ing Wednesday. It wou :
seem TIL nothing could improve
upon this, and yet, in view of the
past, who is unwilling to venture
the assertion that the end is not
vet? Of course, there must be a
limit to the realms of enterprise, a
terminal point reached in the grand
march of progress, but we have not
reached it, and none of us who are
now living will ever behold the day
IN which the geuius of American
civilization, contemplating the work
which har dy hands and lavish capt.
Gal have accomplished in Utah,
will quietly fold his arms and SOL
EMMY steal away, saying can
so no further"
tbs a great day that we live in.
There are greater days ahead of us.
AS those who died in the struggle
with natures ruggedness and bar
renness in Utah before the field was
won. would now, if suddenly re-.
stored to life, be awe-stricken in
the presence of the mighty tran.
sition upon the face of nature, so
might we a hundred years hence,
if brought back to our prese Mt
haunts all at once. be lost in amaze
ment and utterly unable to compre-
bend the immensity Of the changes
wrought by the silent but ever
working hand Of time.
