VARIEPIEs.--Miss Cordelia Cappell
took a benefit at this favorite place of
amusement last night, and We were pleas
ed to see SO many present, although the
number did not come up to our expecta-
tions.
The performance commenced with the
pretty farce of "Nature: and Philosophy"
or the youth who never saw Woman"
Miss. G. Cappell performed the character
of "Colin," the Youth, Miss Warner as
eliza" Mr.. Weir as "Father Phillip"
Mrs. Cappell as Gertrude" and Mr.. w.
Cappell as "Rolando." All performed their
parts very well and deserve praise.
Miss Clarisse Cappell, next appeared
and danced the "Highland Fling" which
was done to perfection.
Mr.. Weir next appeared in the Recita-
ton of"Othello's Apology to the Senate, y
which was spoken in the right manner
and with much effect.
Miss Cordelia then made her appear
ance and delivered the "Fireman's Ad-
DRESS" which was received with unboun-
ded applause.
After which Mr.. Weir appeared in the
Recitation of the dagger Scene from
Macbeth" which was loudly applauded.
The Seven ages of Man" spoken by
Mr.. Weir, was very fine, but the "Seven
ages of Woman" spoken by Miss G. Cap
pell threw it completely in the shade.
The entertainment concluding with the
reading of the conundrums, for the
two cups that were to be given for the
best and worst one, but as there was nc
best and WosSt one, it was moved and
seconded that the Silver cup be presented
to Miss G. Cappell and the Tin one to
Mr.. II. Weir; the vote was taken and
proved upanimous-thu ended Monday
night at the Varieties.

| The author of these articles desires it
to be distinctly understood that he alone is
responsible for all that may be advanced
under the heading in "About Town" and
that the Editor and Proprietor of this
paper is to be in no way held accounta-
BILE for any views or opinions herein in
dulged. We write for our o,cn ansuse-
me,t and the public good DESTROYS
Of extending the greatest benefit to
the greater number, we embarked in
this little bit of past-time with the
hope-forlorn though it may be-that
our endeavors to write right, would be
appreciated by those who are wise ~
enough to know who is the author
Where is Solomon ? Arise ye from the
grave! Whatever we may write is to
be viewed in no way that will be con-
sdered as having sprung from the fan
cied and worn out brain of any one but
our dear selves
Every man imagines himself knowing if
not aoise, until he is proven Otherwise and
we would suggest to those knowing indi
viduals who are up in everybody's bust
ness but their own-in which they are
frequently deficient-to attend to our
business solely and leave theirs to be at
tended to by others less knowing. Success
must inevitably follow.
Our team will be zone horse affair
entirely, and whilst we are perfectly
willing to extend to the approaching and
generous. warm and friendly grasp of
friendship, we desire no odds nor will
call for any quarters from those who may
feel aggrieved at any Of our remarks
Critiques and remarks of general and
varied character may be expected; and to
make these articles spicy it will be our
aim and endeavor to uphold the true in
terest and policy Of our city without in
tentionally wounding the feelings of any
one.
We propose to review in an off-hand,
hasty manner all that may pass under
our immediate daily observation.
We are of the common order, and pro-
| Tess strict allegiance to that great ora
Gle that proclaims every man his own
-reasoner; therefore, should we in our
plain matter-of-fact style indulge in
any views Or opinions that may diff
fer from those friendly to this sheet,
we hope no offence in the premises
We are writing for our o,cn amatse-
msent and the public good-as we have
before stated.
The public schools of the city offer
fine field for enquiry and general appro-
baton. As a friend-an ARDENT friend
OF the CauSe-Would 1t not be points to
enquire into the future general manage
ment of these 'God-sends' to this COM
munity, as they have most certainly been
to all the large cities of the north-with
all due Difference to the very excellent and
able gentlemen who have this matter in
charge? We think no offence can be ia
ken by SO doing. On the contrary, we
feel so deeply interested in the future OF
these schools, that we are prone to be-
lieve that an experience of many years
as teacher of one or two of the Public
Schools of the North will not be consid-
cred as presumptively advanced.
Other matters of equal Importance
will be casually noticed and reviewed
daily-or as our time and inclination will
permit.
