GENrz-I arroved in Cleveland on Satur-
day r. y. from Baldinsyille jest in time to fz
myself up and put on q clean billed rag to at
tend Miss Picklehomony 3 great musical sor
~ at the MelOdian. The krowds which pord
into the hall augured well for the show bis
mes 4 with cheerful sperrets jined the
enthusiastic throng. Iasked Mr.. Strakhosh
ct the door ifhe parst the profession, and he
sed not much be didn't whereupon | bowt a
preserved seat in the pit, and observing to
Mr. Strakhosh that he needn't put on 90 many
French airs becawz he run with big show,
and that be- d better let his weskut out few
inches or perhaps he'd bust hissef some fine
day, went in and squatted down. TWAS =
sad thawt to think that in all that varst au-
jience scarcely Sole had the honor Of my
acquaintance. ~ this err" sed bitturly,
