The amusing farce, Your Life's in Dan ger, was followed by Offenbach's attrac tive nnd musical epera, the Prima Donna of a Night. The cast was as follows: "Ernestine," Mrs. Oates; "Mons. Chon- fleuri," Mr. Allen; Babylos," Mr. Drew; and Peterman," Mr. Crane. It is needless to state that the acting and singing by these well-known artists was everything to be commended. This eve ning Mrs. Oates will take a benefit. She will appear as "Josephine," in Buck sto'n's musical play, the Daughter of the Regiment. Many gems from the Grand Duchess, Attilla and Lucia di Laramer moor will be introduced. The charming song, Good-bye Sweetheart, will be sung by Mrs. Oates.. To-morrow afternoon the Fortunio matinee will be held, and to-morrow night Mrs. Oates will bid fare well to Memphis for the season. From the sale of tickets progressing this fore noon, it is evident the theater will be filled with our most fashionable people to-night. Broom's.

George Francis Train is talking bril liantly to the St Louis people. He said "he followed Chicago like a blood hound, and the only trouble there now is how to organise a ring to steal the six millioaa of relief. Chicago was a gi gantic fraud, and there never was s city that lived on other people's thunder aa it did." Train will babble over and talk to the Memphis people sometime thus month. The Lidce undertook the job to keop the Appeal man posted on the progress of the great gas controversy on trial be fore the First Circuit Court, yet our neighbor informs us this morning that "Judge Flippin will deliver his charge in the gas case to-day." The case being a civil, and not a criminal proceeding, Judge Heiskell delivered a lengthy charge to the jury this forenoon, believ ing that the Circuit, and not the Crim inal Court, had jurisdiction of the sub ject matter. We have received a copy of the Ga tette and Flag, published at Shreveport, Lav It contains a strong leader in favor of the line connecting Memphis with Shreveport, and pays a handsome compliment to Colonels Douglnas and DuO, the representatives from Memphis in the Convention. The leading article winds up with the following pointed paragraph:. This road to Memphis is a local necessity, and when constructed will also be a national highway." At the Recorder's Court to-day twenty three cases, including fifteen drunks, were disposed of by fine. Not a single State case came up for adjudication. The barometer, which is held retponsi' ble by the weather prophets for all changes in the state of the atmosphere' indicated 29 8-10 inches at 12 m. to day, and was falling rapidly, which fact, ac cording to the meterological chaps, au gurs a rain or storm of some descrip tion. During the progress of a $10,000 case in the Second Chancery Court to-duy, the only persons present in Court were the Chancellor, Clerk and the opposing lawyers. Public curiosity can only be excited by something sensational; hence the slim attendance of spectators in the Chancery Courts, except when a startling divorce case is in progress. The Nieolson pavement is being laid down as sidewalks on Main street by many of our merchants. It costs a little more than a brick pavement, but is su perior to the latter in every respect. Why a wooden pavement should cost more than brick is a conundrum not to be answered in a satisfactory manner by every would-be philosopher. An attachment bill was filed yestorday in the Second Chancery Court by Nich olas Etchevarne, attaching the property and effects of the North American Fire Insurance Company, in the hands of the State Comptroller, the DcSoto Bank and the agent, Mr. II.

The canse of the attachment is a claim against the company for loss sustained by the partial destruction of Etchevarne's dwelling in Fort Pickering, some days since, 'during the fire at the Magnolia Garden.

Ies,ree Elected te tbe Ueneral Convention at l.oiiiavllle. At a meeting of steamboatmen, held this morning at the Chamber of Com merce, at which were present Major Jno. D. Adams, of the Memphis and Arkan sas River Packet CompanyWm. Elliott of the White River Line, Captain Flem Calvert, of the St. Louis Packet Com pany, Messrs. Hall, Shock, Harmstad Hart, Miller, Durff and others Captain Calvert was appointed Chairman, and Mr. Smith Secretary. After calling the meeting to order the Chair suggested that Major Adams explain the object of the meeting, which he did, urging the importance of the selection of such del egates as would represent the interests of Memphis, and moved the appoint ment of a Committee of five delegates to the Louisville Convention, which was carried. The Chair then appointed Messrs. Jno. D. Elliott, James Lee, jr., Chas. B. Church, Joseph Elliott and J. M. Gosley as the delegates. Captain .Harmstad then moved that the number of delegates be increased to six, and that the name of Major John D. Adams be added to the list, which was also carried. After which the meet ing adjourned. It was suggested at the close of the mcetiug that those present should see and interview nil of the different steam- boatmen during the present week nnd obtain their views as to the organization of an association similar to those re cently organized in Cincinnati, St. Louis and other cities, which all agreed to do. In the meantime a copy of tbe by-laws and constitution adopted by the associa tion at Cincinnati will be procured, and a meeting of captains, clerks, pilots, and all those connected with the river, will be held at the St. Louis wharf boat, due notice of which will be given by the Lkikier. It is absolutely necessary that the del egates elected by the meeting this morn ing should attend the convention. Two of them Messrs. Johh D. Elliott and J. W. Gosley are already at Louisville, and, with the others, will ably represent the Memphis interests, and, with the del egates from other cities, secure either a modification or a repeal of the outrage ous laws now imposed npon our marine.

A Nostth Memphis asffro PlrtMs a s.nau or linra lassos jnie i a. Rn.nm of a Fellow soirrae Mllager. The lower Horn Lake road is rapidly acquiring an unenviable notoriety as shooting ground. This morning at seven o'clock two negroes, Caleb Cobb and John Brown, engaged in a war of words on the Horn Lake road, two miles from the oily. I he bona of contention was with reference to the rent of a house, a difference of one dollar being between the darkies on' this important subject. Cobb, being an irascible nigger, rushed into his mansion honae and seised bis trusty shot-gun, which be trailed out to the scene of the controversy. After de nouncing Brown In Unmeasured terms, h closed the argument in a peroration wherein his ihot guu cut no inconsidera ble figure. He emptied the contents of one barrel into Brown's right shoulder, shouldered his gun, and tnade.a right about face and moved rapidly southward toward Nonconnah bottom. Brown's body may yet moulder in tbe grave as a consequence. The entire load entered his body, inflicting severe and dangerous wounds. Ha had on a heavy overcoat at the time, a fact which probably raved his life, as the pellets of shot did not ponetrato his, body in as satisfactory a manner to Cobb as it would have done had Brown not had the overcoat on as a life-preserver. Cobb escaped, but will probably be arrested ere long by our police authorities Tilt I.AKUENT VARIETY Of HEATING STOVES Will befonuilat II. WETTKR at The Overloa Hotel (Elevator. The new elevator erected by Colonel S. B. Robbins, of the Overton, for the ac commodation of his guests, was chris tened last night by the friends of the popular proprietor. It was named the "S. B. Ilobins," and the prosperity of the propietor was quaffed in sparkling champagne. The elevator is moved by a thirty-horse power hoisting engine, patented and manufactured by William Miller ii Co,. Cincinnati, Ohio. The hoisting machinery is intended for the use of hotels, warehouses, stores, mills, docks, etc. The engine is a beautiful piece of workmanship and works like a charm. The box, or car, which conveys the guests up the perpendicular railway, elevates passengers from the rotunda to the fourth story and back in thirty sec onds. The walls of the cars are of oiled black walnut, the puuuels being of bird's eye maple. The seats are Covered with damask and the floor with a Brussels carpet of rich and tasteful pattern. Costly mirrors hang on the walls, and from the center is suspended a handsome chandelier, with gas-light burners. Hun dreds of our citizens visited the Overton yesterday and took an excursion trip up and down the railroad. The cost i,f this improvement in hotel-keeping is about $8000, and the enterprise of Colonel Robbins cannot be too highly com mended. The entire machinery was in spected yesterday by several of our leading machinists, who pronounced it to bo perfect in all its details end an elegant specimen of workmanship.

While load ing one barrel the other was discharged, the load tearing away the four fingers of the right hand, and a portion of the palm. Young Bedford was attending school at Mr. Miller's, and was boarding with Mr. Pitt Deadrick, to which place he was carried immediately after the ac cident. Drs.

St. Louis Democrat, 2d. From the Red river of the North, says the St. Louis Democrat, we learn that the steamer Selkirk went into winter quarters on the 'i 1st mat. This closes the season of navigation on tne tted river for the year 1871. Regarding the stcamboatmens' asso ciations, now bein: organized through out the West, yesterday's St. Louis Dem ocrat truly n-nurks, that with these boatmen's ttsaociitliuiis existing like a network through Iho country, the power of the steamboat interest will be felt very sensibly ut Washington, and we think the day is close nt baud when there will be a strong disposition shown there to do ihem enlire justice. Justice will be won by the steamboat interests at all hazards. The Kanawha river has risen twenty inches, and is rising slowly. A report of the meeting of the steam- boaloien held this morning, will be found in our local columns.
