The Buckley Op.ra Tronpe.-Mechanics' In
stitute was packed Monday night with over
1900 persons. and more than 2UO an xious in-
quirers for the interior of the hall were turned
Oft with the notice of 'all full inside" The
performance fully justified public expec alton,
which was high, and gave the audience new
idea of the burnt cork profession. The song
Of I'D choose 10 be a Daisy is the prettiest
musical morceau we have heard for long
time, and was well sung. The laughing song
was new and entertaining. OF course the
burlesqu on Lucretia Borga was the feature
of the evening, and was indescrbably Iudi-
crous. Much of the original music was sung
and the celebrated trio III the I'd act was given
by Miss Gould and Messrs. G 5. Buckley and
Base uin in splendid style-as well as it has
ever been rendered by IAN English opera troupe
here The concerted finale TO the lst act and
the duet between Lucretia and Genarro were
both worthy of praise. The fun of the piece
cannot we'll be described-the mimi able ejac-
ulations of Genarro, the CONSERVATION of the
darkeys when they find they are "pizened" the
despairing reflection OF Orsini that it comes
from drinking wild strangers and The CON
duct of that extraordinary guard, must all he
"seen 10 be apprt cia'ed." Last night again
the hall WAS denseiy crowded, and the door
keepers were turning off large numbers In an
hour after the doors opened.

THE PINE w GOD TRAFFIC.-For many years
past Il large business has been carried on by
No less than one hundred schooners have been
engaged making trips once in every nine days.
The price formerly paid for wood per cord
averaged from 81 80 to 81 which readily
brought in this market S55U and sometimes
even AS high as s.. Recently, however wood
has become scarce along the Potomac and
Rappahannock rivers, and the business is
chiefly confined at the present time to the
James and York rivers Wood at the various
landings along the latter rivers is getting
scarce aud the price paid now is 81 per cord
Many of the dealers complain that they can =
not make any profit, and consequently have
withdrawn their vessels and placed them in
the general freighting business.-N. y. Com.

HEAVY BAGGAGE.-The Paris correspondent
of the Augsburg Gazette learns from one of
the managers Of the Chsn,ia dn Nord. that when
Mr.. Golden arrived some months ago from
England, his luggage weighed about 1900
kilos ,; that is to say. thirteen tons. 1t was
immediately forwarded to st. Cloud This
parcel contained patterns OF every KIND OF
English produce. The Emperor went with
Mr.. Golden over the whole of these articles,
comparing quality, cost of production, and
price with that OF the corresponding articles
of French manu- fracture. AT that time nobody
in Paris had an idea OF Mr.. Golden establish
ing a depot of English goods in the Palace ct
~, Cloud. and was studying economical reform
wit the Emperor, rs he once before mad done
with Sir Robert Peel. The Emperor made A
good use of this opportunity to acquire COM
mercial knowledge, and he thus became ena-
bled to meet and conquer the depntaiions OF
the Protectionists on their own ground
Touch STORY.-The Massachusetts Standard
relates the singular recovery OF 4 young lady
given up TO die. Miss James, Of Fairhaven,
who has been i'll for Il year, was considered
past recovery In the course of a religious
converse lion. she said she felt that should q
certain Reverend gentleman pray for her she
should recover and after a short conversation
she made such request. The clergyman and
the mother of the invalid kEelt down, and a
tervent and earnest prayer was offered up in
her behalf. Before the minister prayed the
body OF the sufferer was As cold and frigid as
marble and at the close of the eXhortatiOn She
perspired freely. Miss James describes her
sensations during the prayer rs similar 10
those of a person receiving a galvanic shock.
Thar night she passed comfortably and III the
morning she arose and dressed herself with
ont assistance, aud on the following Sabbah h
she attended church. She is now enjoying
the best of health and reiishes the heartiest
food.

Capitol Squars.-The improvements on the
Square are going on as rapidly as the weather
will allow, and will probably be completed
this summer Several new entrances have
been made, which add to the public conve-

and gravetled, and the grass and shrubbery
have put forth their blades and blossoms, it
will be the most in viting park to be found any

wisdom. has made Il large appropriation for
arming the militia of the State and for manu-
featuring arms: but these provisions will
prove Of little value in time of need, If IA w
militia only are to be relied upon To make
the militia valuable, vOluri teer organiZati ton $
must be encOuraged-and to make these effec-
tnal As nucleus around which the untrained d
can rally to receive instruction, every facility
must be afforded them for regular drills and
thorough organization. The best volunteer
company in the Stale, deprived of its drill
room for six months, would break down and
tumble to pieces, so that a corpOral's guard
could not be had for any purpose.
In the city Of Richmond there are now at
least twelve organized companies, each Of
whom ought to drill at least one night in the
week, but only six of whom are furnished q
drill room by the city To remedy this evil
for evil il is-three Of the companies hA,e q
the City Council to let them build a military
hall ON a lot owned by the city on 9th, between
Main and Cary streets, in which they pledge
themselves to furnish drill rooms for three
other companieS-S that every corps in the
city will then have place of rendezvous one
night i'll the week. where they can receive in-
structions and become perfect in the Of
their arms, and in the duties of the soldier
The petitioners do not ask the city to give the
lot, SO that it can be disposed OF by them now
or hereafter, but only 10 be held by them as
long rs the hail is used by the petitioners for
military purposes. The lot asked for is not
worth more than S6,UUO-about $1,000 to each
company to use it, the interest on which is but
sou per anrum and surely the Council will
not hesitate 10 donate that sum to maintain an
organization which, sooner or later may be
called upon to defend the rights, and perhaps
the fresides, of every taxpayer in Richmond.

A PIoNEERs IDEA OF WoMGN.--Gen. Sam
Dale, the Southwestern Indian fighter, says in
his memoir just published, that he paid visit to
Washington when Jackson was President, and
adds:
The ladies Of Washington struck me, who
had so long been accustomed to the sun-burned
maidens of the woods, as very fair and beautiful,
very fascinating and refined In one thing they
differ from our Indian women they look one
full in the face it is difficult to Withstand their
ganees An Indian maid, when a warrior APP
proaches bends her head like dropping leaf.
Ii is only in the deepest recesses, where no others
are near, that the lover sees the whole lustre Of
her eye, or even the bushes on her cheek. They
love intensely, and make the most faithful wives
and tenderest of mothers.
