A good nose is a grc it treasure to the owner's
friends, not to himself always. The Corporators vexed
by bad smells should consider themselves the trustees
of the public, for the public good, and allow work-
men's houses to be built where they have a sufficiency
of ganlen ground. Butchers should be compelled to
build theu slaughter-houses where a large garden or
arable field can take all the refuse. People who bury
quickly, in a sufficiency of ground, will only be
troubled with large crops, and their neighbours will
not have to use their fingers as a three-nes. Even
the great «Wall difficulty will gradually vanish, and
the Town Council will not be at the mercy of Mr.
Hover and the Local Government Board.

Ma. AMUR Worm—This popular comic vocalist
and an excellent company gave an entertainment at
the Royal Hotel Assembly-rooms on Monday evening
lad. The attendance, considering the numerous
eountsr-attractions, was very good. The programme
commenced with • pianoforte solo by the eminent
pianist., Madame Emily Reed, n 6 was followed
by some exceedingly clever •

received the largest &ere of favour. His first song
was "inclidadidod," which wee much applauded, and
be then sang" How did ye leave the pigs?' in which
his "easks-up" was excellent. He next gave "The
Unfortunate Man," which provoked much laughter.
Perhaps the most enjoyable in the progamme, how-
ever, were the violin solos of Miss Rim, which were
received with the heartiest appianea She played
several pleas with much taste and expressico,especially
as air from "U Trovatore," and she was wacirld
encored. In reply she played a selection of s

THRATRI ROTAL. A new and really talented
company of artistes opened at our temple of Thespis,
under the management of Messrs. Beaufort and
Lever, the principal event on their repertoire of pieces
being the "Two Orphan'," on Monday evening last,
for • short season. We fully expected from the
numerous attractions elsewhere on the same evening
to me • poor boom, but the reputation of the piece
amongst all play (oers, the new company, with the new
scenery, dreams, and appointments, drew a capital
audience, in also on each evening the piece has been
played. Mr. G. H. Beaufort sustained Armand with
treat credit to himself and pleasure to his audience.
The portrait of Pierre, the cripple, was faithfully
given by Mr. Edwin Lever, who well earned the
applause he got The entire cast of the piece could
not be better—abounding in strong situations. In each
act there was a hearty recall from the audience, but
in the last scene we were hardly prepared for such a
torrent of applause aa is nightly accorded to the
combat scene in Ls Frochand's garret between
Jacques, well played by Mr. Williams, and Pierre
(Mr. Lever), and it should be seen to be appreciated
all who enjoy a really first-class dramatic company.
Tickets, plan, and every particular. at Mrs. Jeffery's
Library, OS, St. Maryetreet.—On Friday night, when
the performance will be under distingubled patron-
age, "The Jewish Maiden's Wrongs" will be repre-
sented, followed by the burlesque of "Aladdin.' On
Saturday " The Colleen Bawn "
will be performed.
BAZAAR AT GLOOCISTIII-11TRIRT SCHOOL—A bazaar
of fancy and useful articles was held at the Gloucester.
street schoolroom on Tuesday and Wednesday last,
the funds of which will help to defray the expenses of
renovating the Hope Chapel and the minister's hoose.
The promoters of the bazaar found that they had not
• room fit for holding it and the Rev. B. Bolton
kindly lent the use of his schoolroom. The members
of the chapel worked with a right good will for the
success of the bazaar, and the result was a moat
varied and beautiful collection of useful and orna-
mental goods. The room presented • very pretty
the stalls being fitted up by Mr. FreemanZrestrancret::t of the finance committee, sedated by
Mr. Brown, Pin. The first stall was kept by Mrs.
Lewis, Mrs. Freeman, Mrs. Locke, and Mrs. Read.
Some very beautiful articles were displayed ; including
antimacessan, hand-worked lace collars and very
handsome toilet set worked by Mies Weisix A wall-
executed crayon drawing of H.M.S. Britaania, drawn
by Miss Lewis, was presented by some subscribers to
the esteemed minister, the Rev. W. Lewis.
The next stall was held by Mrs. Mace and Mrs.
Brown, it contained a large selection of useful articles,
Including pinafores, tellies' drawee, and the like. One
of the best stalls was that provided by the Hope
Sunday School children and choir. On it were
exhibited several curiedeiss. viz., • sword. Poisoned
, spear, an amegal, brought from Zululand and •
beautiful clock in a ease with mechanical birdie and
flowers. Perhaps the most tinic pine of work on
this 'tall we. the contribution of a young fellow
named Hawkes,—a worked spittoon and footstool.
There were also an exceeding pretty hand-worked lace
collar, a handsome quilt, the work of Mrs. Lovell, a
wo,l and bead [tetanal, by Miss May Freeman, a
model yacht, by Mr. C. Carter. The stall was kept
by Miss May Fromm, Miss Busy Carter, and Miss
Wallis. At Miss ithinner'm stall there was • large
" bride-oaks," at Id. per "e l ice". The refreshment
stall was presided at by Mies Webb and Miss Laura
Carter. On Wednesday evening a public tea meeting
was held, at which about 100 persons sat down. After-
wards • selection of music was performed at intervals.
The programme was as follows:—Glee, "Lightly
tread,''Messrs. Marshalsay, Griffin, Poole, and H.
Crocker; song, "Rock me to Sleep." hits" S. Carter;
song, "Never mind the Rest," Mr. H. Crochet;
glee. "The lied Cross Knight," Messrs. Marshalsay,
Griffin, Poole, and Crochet; song, "Love was once
• little Boy," Miss May Freeman; duet, the Mimes
Lewis; song, Mins Walls; song, "Oh I had I but
Aladdin's Lamp," Miss Dovey ; glee. "The Wreath."
Messrs. liarshalsay, Griffin, Poole, and H.
Crocks,' song, "Rocked in the Cradle of the
deep,' Mr. Griffin, jun. ' • cmig, "It is only a
sweet little letter," Mies Hutchings. The redacts con-
certeci pieces were sung with precision and trete, and
highly pleased the audience. Miss S. Carter's song
"Rock me to sleep, mother," was rendered with taste
and expression, as was Miss May Freeman's "Love
wee once a little boy," Miss Hutchings and Miss
Wallis and Mr. Griffin were also extremely good and
their respective songs, acid Mr. Bartlett (Hope Chapel
organist), was an able accompanist. During the pieces
the sale was carried on briskly, and we trust the pro-
ceeds will go considerably towards clearing off the i:100
required.
