ADJUSTMENTS.

The present engagement of the Abbott
company at Leubrie's is certainly thus far
one of the most brilliant, in an artistic
sense, OF the many notable engagements
played by this organization in Memphis.
A very good audience assembled last night
to hear the rendition of Gounod's great
opera, Faust Inspired by her pleasing
receptions of the previous evenings, Miss
Abbott last II ght sang with an exquisite
| pathcs and tenderness that flung her au-
| dience into perfect rhapsody of enthusi-
| asm. Dramatically considered, it
is universally admitted that "Mar-
guerite" is Abbott's role par ex-
/ ceilence, and that her cIrcsption of
| the part is all that the great master in
tended. In the garden scene last night
| she was tender, modest, as Gounod really
| meant his heroine to be, but in the prison
| scene she rose to a pitch of powerful emo
| ton that thri led her hearers. The song at
| the spinning wheel, the delightful "Biiou
| Song," and the duet "Tardi ga Fa," with
| ''Faust," in the third act, were the gems
| of the performance and were greeted with
| applause again and again renewed, and
at the end of the third set Abbott,
| Michelena and Ronconi were called before
| the curtain and cheered to the echo.
| Michelena appeared in the title
| role and was entirely satisfactory
| He shared in the triumph of the prima
donna, deserved, and was awarded warm
| tribute for his artistic work. In the cava-
| tina "Salve Dimora" he sang with exquis.
ite feeling aud beauty, his clear voice sound.
! ing like silver bell, ard at the end he
| was called before the curtain and heartily
| applauded. Pruette, as valentine,
| looked the part and sang it well. He had
| evidently taken the hint given him in
these columns, and hinging aside all re-
stIaint sang with fervid earnestneSs
| throughout. His pathetic rendering OF
the "Santa Medaglia" in the second aci
elected well deserved applause, and he
also was called before the curtain. Ronconi
| played "Mephisto" like the finished
| artist he is, and his magnificent basso
and magnetic style were important factors
| in the success OF the performance. Last
but by no means least, We have to mention
Susie Greenwood, who was IS ebel." This

was really surprising, and at the same

THE COTTON CROP.
Reports from All states In the Cotton
Felt

New ORLEANS, La, October 1.-The
Times Democrat will publish tomorrow
crop reports from its special correspond
ents throughout the cotton belt. During
September the weather has been unfavor-
able in Mississippi, Louisiana snd portions
IF Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee.
Frequent and heavy rains have prevented
picking, caused the seed TO spread in the
boil, beat out the matured staple and
caused the splitting of uumatured bolls.
In Texas, however, the weather has been
generally favorable and picking has pro-
gressed satisfactorily. In Mississippi tie
crop has been cut down materially from
the causes mentioned, but most of the re-
ports indicate an increased production
compared with the last crop. From pres
ant appearances the crop will be 5 per
| cent. larger than that of 1884. In Texas
Louisiana and Mississippi the corn crop
| will probably be the largest ever raised
All small grains have been harvested, and
the yield was quite satisfactory. The
sugar crop of Louisiana will be about the
same as last year. The rice crop, though
somewhat damaged by wet, will be very
| large.

is no foundation for it, and all the severe
criticisms of Mr.. Garland by newspaper
that accepted the Trjb,me's statements as
truths falls to the ground. But, as we
