Kate CasiietoD,

At the Memphis Theater tomorrow Kate
Castlet0n and a selected company appear
in a musical farce entitled Crazy Patch.
The San Fraucisco Argonaut Gays: 1T
brings about an amusing set CT contre-
t mps and introduces some amusing peo-
pie. OF these the best is a wonderful po-
ltcemaD, who has nothing in the world to
do with plot or people, bu1 whose agility
and omnipreseDce are delicious sstires
upon our force. The policeman who is
always on hand is such q new departure
that the audience gasped with amszement
and did not know just how to take him,
but resolved upon taking him with the
keenest delight. Although Crazy Patch
hears the strongest family resemblance to
its travelling kin, it is a Gegree better than
most of them, because an idea filters
through its craze. The company comprises
the following artists: j. N. Long, John d
Gilbert, Eddie Girard, L. H. S~tockwell,
Harry Phillips, j. R Bronson, Frank Parl-
NEE, Miss Ada Boshell, Miss Esther Will
liams and Miss Ellie Mcmahon" The en-
gagement will continue during the entire

A MIXED CASE.
Suing for Property and Indicted fol
Perjury-A Difference of a Name.

New YORK, November 21.-The Brook
lyn City Court has been occupied fo- Two
DAYS in the second trial of on action
brought by Henry Ridick against the
Standard Oil Company for over one-sixth
of the property On which their works are
located at Green Point, and which is worth
about half 6 million dollars. A grandfather
Of the plaintiff bought the land nearly fifty
years ago, and gave a purchase mortgage
on it of $1,000. The mother OF the plaintiff,
who was John Horne's daughter, died five
days after the plaintiffs birth. The plaint-
if was then sent down to Virginia to be
brought up by his grandfather. Horne
married again, and his second wife, on her
death, lef5 one SID, and, in her viii, cut OF
the children of the first wife from their IN
heritance. She induced the mortgage to
ioreclose the mortgage, snd the plaintiff
claimed that be was not made a
party to the suit. The defense is that
be was made a party to the
suit, and that his name, instead of being
Henry, as he had sworn, was John
Henry, and that under that name he hsd
been made a party to the action. His
father and his uncle, who is a Methodist
minister and baptized him, swore that his
name YVES Henry, and the colored nurse
swore that the grandfather wanted him
called John Henry. The defense further
showed that he was married under the
name of john Henry, became a member
of a Masonic lodge under that name, sp.
piled for a life insurance, was divorced
and obtained permission to marry again
under that name.
The jury found a verdict for the de-
PENDANT, and Immediately afterward the

nUsIC Ann PAINTING

OlNlllZatlOl takeS7tO music and paint
ing just as naturally as ducks take to
water. If the love Of art be an unerring
index TO the refinement of a commu-
nifty, Memphis has abundant cause for
congratulation, for there is not in all
this bread Union a city that ranks
higher in taste for music and painting,
or where these arts have been more
zealously cultivated. The Mozarts have
already placed Memphis prominent
among the musical cities of the country,
and, as this society has been recognized,
1t will, no doubt, renew its efforts for
the diffusion of musical cultivation. We
understand ii is the purpose of the new
management to give during the winter
aud spring several grand performances.
The object is one in which all musicians
and music-ioving people will take pride,
and one to which all should lend sub
stantial aid. 1t is hoped the necessary
support will be forthcoming, and that
all who can do so will consider
ita duty to assist the guarantee fund as
well as avail themselves of the musical
treat which the society, properly encour-
aged, Is eminently qualified to add to the
winter and spring attractiveness of the
city. The study of the high art of
painting has become an engrossing study
with many here, and the advance which
has been made in this direction during the
past few years has been very gratifying.
There are many teachers in the city,
and the liberal manner in which they are
patronized and their success in impart-
ing a knowledge of art, are high tributes
TO the refined taste of the community.
An important accession has been made
to the art talent of Memphis in the per
son OF Mrs. L. Whitmore, wife of the
proprietor of the Ecening Ledger. Her
paintings On exhibition at Byrd's iewelry
store, a few days since, attracted
much attention and general admira-
ton. Mrs. Whitmore, since her gradua-
ton has had charge of the art depart
ment of several colleges and high
schools, aud her piin,ings show why her
services were in suoA demand. Her
work exhibits a high range o! thought, a
perfect bleaciug Of colors, great smooth
ness and fidelity of cxccutioa-in a
word, a conception OF the ar, SO essential
to success, Mrs. Whitmore has a t.lent
not only for copying, but for originating
She has genius of a high order, vivid
imagination, and, with a love OF the
beautiful, 1t is not surprising she has
won fame in the art she so ~passionately
loves. 1t is hoped her talents will not
be lost to the art of which she is a dew
otee. With rare intellectual eudow-
ments, a genius for painting and a taste
for the beautiful, she should be the
heroine Of rare intellectual achieve
ments, The people OF Memphis have
abundant cause to be proud of the taste
which has been developed for a cultiva-
nUn of the fine arts.

says: "Nignaux's victory over Slosson last
night was probably the most wonderful
exhibition Of billiard playing ever seen.
It IS II be borne in mind that thu game
was arranged expressly TO make large runs
by nursing impossible and to compel open
table play. At this game Viguaux has
made an average which 4 few years sgo
was unheard OF at 's'rsight billiards" and
has eclipsed all records in respect both Of
single runs and OF average. This victory
may bring about a result which probably
