had shown himself a good leading man."
1t was then quite late on Sunday morning.
Gen. Porter dropped quite gracefully into
poetry and w. w. Winter fell into il
with dull thud, and afterward shed tears
on Edward Harrigan's neck.
John Gilbert made short, dignifed
speech, and Mr.. Boxer spoke for the Phil
adelphia contingent. Lawrence Barrett,
Goodwin and Constance Coquelin each
spoke few well chosen words IN honor of
the guest OF the evening. The chanticeer
on the spire OF the white church at Fifth
avenue and Twenty-ninth street had
crowed before Edward Harrigan arose to
do likewise. He believed, he said, in an
American drama written by Americans for
America. lie did not believe that any
good to the American stage could come
out OF France or Germany. Nj. Coquelin
and Mr.. DAILY bowed their thanks.
Mr.. Harrigan did not say what he
thought OF the field for American drama
in Ireland. but he did give utterance to a
truth that shall go on record as maxim
for all ages to-wit: "a lazy man is q
louise on a white shirt front"
The supper was given to Mr.. Booth by
the two principal theatrical managers Of
New York in recognition OF his superb
gift TO the players. 1t was memorable
and delightful occasion. The company
was good aud the feast as excellent as
Delmonico' 5 kitchens could produce.

Some men may have been superior to him
in this or that part, but in the general run
and round OF characters no essayed he
excelled them all. lie was easily the
greatest actor America has produced, and
we doubt il any Of the English "stars"
who were his contemporaries could sue
cessfully contest the palm with him for a
moment.
In view Of the sudden stroke which has
thus, it is feared, deprived the stage OF our
greatest player, the report OF the banquet
given TO Mr.. Booth on Saturday night

elsewhere from The Ney York Times, pos
sesses a significant interest as last tribute

abled TO realize the hearty appreciation
OF his fellow players for 80 excellent gift,

memory OF the distinction he had attained

A LOUD COMPLAINT.

We learn that the merchants Of this place arc
much dissatisfied with their dealings with com
mission merchants OF Memphis, those 10 whom
most Of the cotton bought here has been consigned
They claim loss In weights and wrong classhca-
ton, whereby they hayo lost considerably. We
hear II whispered, also, that they contemplate
shipping their cotton next season 70 place near
hero that has n compress, and that no cotton will
be shipped TO commission merchants. In
stead ofagrcelng 10 ship 30 this that place or per-
son, they should organize stock company and build
a compress here, aud then buyers" will come aud
take their cotton ut ls actual weight, and besides
they can then seo that their fine cotton Is not
mixed with a lot Of lowgrade cotton belonging TO
some one else, aud sold at lcss price than It's
value.
Over 1000 bales wero bought at this place, near
1000 bales shipped by other parties and over 5000
bales transferred from Pontotoc and stations south
Of this, besides about 1900 bales shipped through
10 Memphis via Middleton, making n total Of over
1900 bales that have been handled ut this place
II compress were here this amount could almost
be doubled, and II Is fact that stock company OF
5000 could put up compress and that 10000 bales
will render a handsome income on the investment
