Nw Mempuis Tukateb. A large au
dience greeted Miss Lottit last night and
testified by frequent and hearty applause
appreciation of the entertainment afford
ed them. For the first time in Mem'
phis, John Brougham's draimitization
from Dickens' " Old Curiosity Shop," of
Little Nell, was produced, Miss Lotta
sustaining the titlo role and tho " Mar
chioness." One character being tho au
tipodes of the other, tho personations af
ford a better opportunity than junylhing
ia which Miss Lotta has appeared to il
lustrato her astonishing versatility. In
one scene we are enraptured with dear
"Little Nell," who looks and acts the
angel-child Dickens so touchingly de
pictsher; whilo in the next, tho little
half-starved servant of " Sampson Brass,
solicitor," whom " Mr. Swivelcr," in his
light and airy way, insists upon terming
the " Marchioness," is sufficiently
comic to excite tho risiblcs of a hypo
chondriac. The latter character was
" Nan " once more, as that rcmarkablo
torn-boy would appear, after having
fared sumptuously on air a month or
two. Lotta s "Little Nell was charm'
ing in every ws.y, With the Good-fyr
Nothing, Female Detective, and other
of her plays, in our mind, we could not
avoid anticipating another revelation of
tbe inimitably droll characteristics of
which Lotta is brim full; but her face
was that of tbe veritable "Little Nell"
whom " Grandfather Trent " wor
shipped:' and the voice which but
nigbt or two ago gaL'iy rang with
the " Hoop-de-doden-do " trembled
with pathos. "Nan" passed from view
for angelic " Little Nell," sweet as she
must have appeared when urgiagthe old
man to leave London fonsver, "walk
through country places, sleep in fields
and under trees, and never think of
money again, or anything tluitlcau make
you sad, but rest at nights, and have the
sun and wind upon our faces iu the duy,
and thank God togebhar." There is
something inexpressibly sweet in this
character, which only those who have
read of LittleNell,or witnessed the drama
can appreciate. We dc ubt if there could
be an improvement in Lotta's "Mar
chioness." It is irresistibly comic from
tbe moment when, li ke a veritablo little
Puss, she perches on the stool and long
ingly eyes " P.raBs' " mutton log, until
humor gives -way to the apotheosis. Mr,
Hillerton a "Dick bwiveler was very
fine. Ilere was opportunity for the
lofty soun ding periods with which that
astonishing young Cockney was wont to
regale his friends. In some portions
there r as a lack of the devil-may-care
hich. Dick " always pushed forward,
but iew make more out of the character.
Aa "lirass" Mr. France added to the
enviable reputation already achieved.
In "makeup" ha was Dickensish all
over, and those familiar with that writer
found no difficulty in locating him. Miss
Fanny - Picrson mado all out of
"Mrs. Jarley" that tho dramatization
affords; Mr. Mitchell's " Grandfa'
ther Trent" and Mr. FeTguson's
" Ned," (which Brougham changes from
" Fred ") were fair. But by all odds the
most perfect personation by any member
of the company was Mr. Anderson's
"Quilp." He was the dwarf in stature,
with the head and body of a giant. Tbe
black, restless, cunning eye the coarse,
hard beard the ghastly smile the strag
gling, colorless fangs in his ugly mouth
the grizzled black hair the costume so
befitting to render its possessor even
more ghastly, if possible, were there,
representing "Quilp" just as Dickens'
inimitable pen drew the portrait Tho
personation matched the " make up."
Of all ghastly villains he was the most
ghastly. His presence caused one to
shudder, and his voice and actions started
the cold chills. Mr. Anderson may
justly feel proud of his achievement.
'Little Nell will be repeated to-night.
Another Fire at Ritlet, Tens. A

TI1E LAST CHAPTER.
I'imI of u Lute Trllllnie Ho
ltiaiK'e or the Itoal.
Tho Hickory Wyllii Hieh
wuyiuuii Captured anil
UuHged. ,
Tbe particulars of tbe daring adven
turestf a modern Dick Turpin, in the
vicinity of Hickory Wythe depot, have
from time to time reached tbe publio
through our columns. His exploits an
insensibility to danger recall to mind th
period when every road was lined with
footpads, and " stand and deliver
became a familiar sound to travelers. .
fow days ago we mentioned that Mr.
Greenleaf, whom tbe robber compelled
to atrip in the woods, had, with friends,
met him ; that shots were exchanged, the
highwayman, after expending the con
tents of bis repeater, coolly turning off
into the woods and escaping.
But another, the last and bloodiest
chapter in the eventful drama, is now to
be recorded. On Sunday a man came
to the first Btation this side of Wyth
depot, and complained to some gentlo
men present that he had been robbed i
the woods. Among those who listene
to his story was Mr. Alfred Battle, who
it will be romcmbered, was shot at from
the roadside, a day or two following Mr,
Greenleaf s adventure. It seems that
Mr. B., whom tho robber was rapidly
approaching when frightened away by
the sudden appearance of tho horse
men who came up, noticed that
couplo of tho unwelcome visitor's fingers
were missing. While the man was telling
his story on Sunday, ho observed a sim
lar defect in that membor. A closer
glance caused him to recognize the fca'
turcs, and in a moment the alleged vie
tim of a robbery was in tho grasp of two
strong men. Mr. Battle had not mistake
his man. The prisoner confessed that
he had not only shot at him, but bad
forced GreonJeaf, to strip,. and sent the
threatening letter. He added that he
did not desire to kill Mr. G. ; merely do
sired to friglitcn a littlo money out of
him. ; n '
If his actions .could longer bavo sur
prised any one, the, witnesses of tbe
unexpected denouement would doubtless
have been startled at this, the most reck'
less of his exploits. , But it seemed only
a matter of course. He had been hunted
in the thickets and swamps by armed
men and bloodhounds, and eluded them,
Believing he could appear among the
people, and by tolling a pitiful talo be re
gurded us but another of the victims
ot tho robber whose exploits had spread
terror and amazement throughout tbe
community, he adopted that method of
further baffling pursuit.' Ho did not
reckon upon the absence of a finger or
two betraying him. It simply happened
that Mr. Battle's eyes were sharp, and
fulfilled their office even when bullets
were whistling about their owner's head
and tho robber's ruse failed.
Somehow, the captured robber sud
denly disappeared from the station,
whither no one seemed to know. A fe
curious ones started in search. Late in
the afternoon the form of a man was
seen dangling from a tree in a swamp,
It was lifeless; and two of tbe fingers of
the left hand were missing. This told
the story. No further explanation was
required. Judge Lynch bad been at
work; and the highwayman, whose dur
ng exploits had been narrated with
bated breath at a thousand firesides, was
a rigid corse. Aftwift witness had risen
against him, and tho exccutionerstalked
behind until the fatal moment arrived.
Who sent the desperado into the
Shadows ? Nobody knows ; nobody
cares, now that be huB gone from them

Onv Vtrro Itobx Another of
' lila Wife, Threaten him
aud in Shot owii.
A tragic affray occuired on Poplar
street yesterday afternoon, whose pause
wai the oli'. story, over again. Henry
Harrison (cwlored) had a wife, who was
more attractive than loyal to her vows.
A Lothario, known as Henderson Smith
was the bosom friend of this dusky An
selmo, and although the wife's eyes ahon
with renewed luster in his presence, un
suspecting Anselmo found no fault. II
was willing! that her love should be tested.
By' and by, the wife forsook ber lege for
his friend, living with bim in open lewd
nets. What could remit but emotions of
revenge ? Last Friday the deserted hu
band and treacherous friend mot, an
hard words led to harder blows. A guar
dian of the law intervened and a tragedy
was prevented.
Afterward Smith, smarting under the
recolloction of tho affray, dotormined to
soek the life of the man whose happiness
he had wrecked. Arming himself, he
yesterday afternoon sought Harrison, at,
Payne's cotton pickery, on Poplar street
where bo was employed. Mr. Payne
drove him away, and to protect the
establishment in future, procured
double-barreled shotgun and placed
bobind tbe front door. Later in the day
Smith returned ; and espying tho object
of his wrath, drew a pistol, evidently
intending to firo without giving his
adversary an opportunity of defendin
himself. But Harrison was a momen
too quick. He sprang forward, seized
tbe gun, and in a moment a deatontng
report announced tbe result Smith lay
stretched on the pavement a corpse, the
charge having entered the right tempi
and penetrated the brain. Coroner
Cotton's inquest developed that " Hen
derson Smith came to bis death from
gunshot wound in tho right temple, sai
wonnd penetrating the brain, and pro
ducing almost instant death, the gu
being fired by tbe hands of Henry Harri
son, in self-defense." Harrison, still
armed with tbo gun, immediately disap

What a "Personal" Card Brought
Forth. Sometime since tho official
proceedings of the Howard Association
announced the expulsion of Mr. W. C
McClure, a clerk in the Bulletin office
charged with using unbecoming language
with reference to the Sisters of Charity
The action was based on the complaint
of Mr. J. P. Gallagher. Mr. McClure, in
a published card, denied the charge, and
denounced Mr. Gallagher. At the lime
the latter was sick, and meanwhile Mr.
McClure left the city on business, re
turning on Saturday. Yeulorday after
noon Mr. Gallagher sought McClure to
compel a retraction or other satisfaction
The two met in a Main street dry goods
store, and after a few moments spent in
parleying, Gallaghor knocked McClure
down; then, after a profuse ventilation
of more emphatic than elegant rhetoric
wherein his views upon the Mc
Clure question were freely expressed
the irate Captain left, promising any
satisfaction the other's honor might de
mand. This, with a published statement
and wholesale denunciation, is what
" personal" card brought forth.
We have determined to retire from
business, tbcrcforo offer our stock of
dry goods, etc., at remarkably low prices,
Call and convince yourself before buying

we are pleased to notice our genial
young lriend and lormer lellow-cittzen,
Captain Harvey Mathcs, of tbo Louis'

picture of health. He will remain

known Jefferson street druggist, has
returned, after several weeks absence in

here as Surratt and carried to Washing'

Aar Ox ox the ltAMPAOk. A gigantic
ox domiciled in Joyce's stable, on Adams
street, astonished bis owner- and many
others last night by a few pranks not
generally attempted by bis species. The
ide door of Winters' saloon opens into
tbe stable. This his oxship forced, and
ntering he scattered himself miscellane
ously about the premises, overturning
tables and chairs, and causing a general
smash among the bottles and tumblers.
Whether the hilarious old "cuss" im-
ibed any of the "ardent" the saloon
contained, we are not advised. Soon
tiring of this he mizzled through the
eor, and started across the street at a
peed which would have astonished
Muggins, ran acainst one of the peals
of the Hardwick IIou", swurg around,
and fell down the stairway into the sa
loon. Tbe fall was too much for his
bovine majesty, and prevented the exe
cution of his original design ol marching
nside and taking a drink. He lay help
less as a baby, and was finally draws an
byropts, a screr anj sadder, but wiser
ox.

Tho community of Wilmington, Ohio,
was startled a couple of years ago by the
murder of Mr. William Lang, by a negro
named Warfiold, alias Mays. Tbe mur
derer was arrested, but broke jail; was
afterward re arrestd in Xenia, and again
slipped the law, emerging from jail one
night and suddenly disappearing. Yester
day afternoon ho was discovered on the
levee by Sheriff Winters, and deputies
Langford and Marsh Taylor, while going
aboard the steamer. Emperor. War Cold

to await a requisition from the Governor

murder, an action rendered unnecessary
by the immense mass of proof against
him. ,

Editors Leduer: My attention las
been directed to a card in your issue of
last Saturday, over the signature of one
Michael Nealis, in which, under the cap
tion of "Tbo Late Caning Affair," he
refers to a local of the Bulletin giving
an account of an encounter between my
self and Mr. Hardwick. I do not desire
to refer to this affair. I will only simply
say, to Nealis, what I said to Hardwick,
I owe him no money I never paid him
any money I have never employed him
to feed prisoners, at my instance, or for
any other purpose. If he has, as he
alleged, commenced a suit against me,
I um prepared to meet it I have asked
no favors at his or anybody's hands for
a postponement I placed the affair in
the hands of my attorney, Colonel Gantt,
with instructions that I was ready to meet
the matter at any time. I am so now.
The Courts are the proper place for the
settlement of disputed claims, not through
a newspaper controversy. I have neither
time nor money to waste in answering
tbo foolish emanations of those who
desire newspaper notorioty.

Home testimony as to tbe excellence
of a home medicine is the best that can
be produced. In this connection the
certificate of Dr. R. B. Shore, a well
known and reputable physician residing
at Morning Sun, in this county, relative
to the celebrated Hungarian Balsam,
will bo read with interest:
Morning 6cir, February X 186U
Messrs. ManefioU A Co., Memphis :
Gentlemen : I have always had a dis
inclination to use, in my regular prac-.
ticc, any medicine of which I did not
know the component parts; but I have
noticed, for several years, a medicine
which you prepare, styled Hungarian
Balsam of Life, (or the cure of coughs.
colds, consumption, bronchitis, asthma,
and other affections of the throat and
lungs, which has proved, in every in'
stance that has come under my observa
tion, to be the best and most sovereign
remedy for these complaints I ever knew.
I can say with all candor that your
remedy for lung diseases is a very
superior apecific, as well aa a scientific
preparation, essentially different from
II others ot its class with which 1 am
acquainted. 1 most cordially indorse
its success, and will do everything in my
power to make its extraordinary effects
known to the public
I am, respectfully yours,
R. B. Shore.
