The Merchants Exchange on Saturday
last issued circular urging upon members
the necessity for attending Change
promptly every day, and especially of
being present at the call hour. This, we
think, is both timely and sensible. The
Exchange, to be al! that it should, must
be availed of by all the members for the
transaction eff business and effeCtiDg ssles
There the status of this market and it's in
tegrity are to be maintained by prices
n hised upon the imperative laws of supply
and demand. To accomplish this the at
tendance of all the merchants and accurate
reports OF all their transactions
are essential and necessary. It is
therefore hoped that tho very earnest
aud logical appeal made by President
Treadwell in the circular mentioned will
have the effect Of bringing every merchant
to knowledge of his duty in the premises
and compelling him to its performance,
The facilities afforded in having market
reports from all parts of the country and
a great mass of useful information which
Mr.. Keeling, the energetic secretary, Ia al
why's prompt TO deliver is OF itself an
u gent entreaty for daily attendance that
Intelligent, progressive and enierprising
MERCHANTS c'.nnot afford to disregard.

TIE campaign having closed in New
York, the newspapers are discussing the
probabilities, each being more or less
guided by their predictions end desires.
The Times says, sententiously: "We have
no doubt OF the result The Sun says the
Democratic committee look for 10000 plu-
Tality for Hill, and estimate the prohibit
sioB vot} will be almost as large as Hills
plurality. Editoriaily, neither the Tribune
nor the World ventures on a prediction
further than that the result will be close.
The correspondents Of the two journals,
however, are widely apart, the former
claiming an easy victory for Davenport
aud the latter a victory for Hill. The
Herald prints two tsbleo of probable ma
Iorities by counties, both made up by Re-
publicans, one of which gives Davenport
$50 maj jrity, and the other 1I.6ee. The
Tribune ana Times say the betting is slOO
to &75 on Davenport, and the World, while
coniessiDg tha! those were the figures a
lew days ago, says the betting is now even,
The Tribune says: "GUv. Hill is not de-
void Of humor."

LONDON, November 2.-The further
hearing OF evidence in the trial of Mr..
Stead, editor of tha PdH-Mdu Gazette, and
the other defendants in the Armstrong alb
duction case, was resumed to day. Mrs
Jarrett was sgain put in the witness box
but she positively declined to make any
further revelations respecting the case,
Mrs. Josephine Butler and Prof. Stuart
testified for the defendants. Mr.. Stead
then took the stand. He testified that
Mrs. Butler told him that he might i'm.
plicitly trust Mrs. Jarrett, and he had nc
reason to suspect her of abduction or
obtaining money from him by false pre-
tences. His testimony was in substance
the same as that given in his statement al
the magisterial examination.
Mrs. Josephine Butler testified that she
Mr.. Stead, Mr.. Scott, the city chamber
lain, and Mrs. Booth had jointly guaran
teed eco to pay Mrs. Jarrett for procuring
girls.
Mr.. Stead said that the Pail Adu Gasett
had psid el00, the cost of the secret com
mission. Mrs. jarrett told him that Mrs
Ann Broughton kept q brothel, and that
the mother of Eliza Armstrong was I
drunkard, and had twice asked her to take
Eliza.
Mrs Jarrett was recalled and confessed
that she had lied when she previously tes
tilted that shc once kept brothels ut Man

ADJUSTMENTS.
Niagara. the Adventures.

1t may be said without hesitation that
the performance OF Niagara at the Mem
phis Theater last evening Was one of the
beet things which has been seen here in
years, From whatever point it is viewed
new beauties appear. The company is in
many respects like those Of the Madison
Square, though more powerful than any
thing ever sent here from that theater.
The parts are so well divided that
talent OF no oidipary degree is required
from all the members Of the company, no
less than from the star. The play, which
promises little in the first act, is well
wrought out, full Of striking tableaux and
so powerful as to fasten tho attention.
The dialogue, trashy at times, and bur
dened with the most miserabls of all at
temp.s ct humor, puBs, is nevertheless
entertaining and often very effective.
With good deal of the melodramatic,
plenty of lines touched with true feeling,
strong flavor of romance, enough
of the supernatural to give it zest,
and come really brilliant gems of wit,
Niagara, produced as it was last evening,
may be pronounced in every respect
thoroughly sa,isf ictory. One f4els, when
the curtain falls upon the last act, as if the
playwright and the actors had performed
their whole duty, end there was nothing
more to be desired. One new scene is
presented, Goa the Italian Alps" besuti-
f1l in the extreme. Rose Eytinge, as
Niagara" will disappoint thoee who
expect to find in her a well-dressed
fury, in the usual sense OF the word.
Fury, fend incarnate she is, but without
violence. Expecting every moment a
fearful burst of noisy rage, it seems plain
that she exerts over herself the most pow
erful self-control, consumed with fires OF
hofa nd h;ftorx- h,al a II
the more fiercely because they are smoth-
cred. Her conception is certainly the
most difficult of Performance, and must be
most satisfactory to the true artist. Mr..
Henry Dalton as Saxon Poole" was en-
tirely successful. He has fine presence, q
splendid voice, and his native intelligence
raises to q very important place part
which might easily sink into insigni6
canoe, 80 little is there in it OF itself to
command attention or to attract sympathy.
Mr.. Charles t. Nichols made fair
'Pietro," and Mr.. Will a. Sands was an
acceptable Luigi" Miss Augusta Ray
mond was sweet though rather insipid as
one of the two young wives Of the piece,
and Miss Matte Ferguson as the other,
Constance" was char ming. Her
delightful rendition of ballad
in the third act betrayed the
possession Of an exceedingly musical
voice. Miss Laura LIE Claire was a capital
mother.in-law and never failed to bring
down the house. The most exquisite
piece of character acting which has been
seen here in years was done by Miss Ads
Gilman, whose part was that of an Irish
serving girl. Mr.. Charles Stanley made a
de ,ided hit as "Noah LotS," and word
from him was sufficient to set his audi
ence in a roar. Niagara will be the at
| traction all the week and deserves crowded
houses every night.

1t seems tI<be conceded in medical and
scientific circles in London and Paris that
Pasteur, the persistent and laborious in
yestiRator, has succeeded in obtaining not
only cure but a preventive Of hydro
phobia. By methods of incubation and
subinoculation, ii we may use the term,
he has secured a virus that makes the
