PEoF. ANDERSON, has recently been pub
ishing sketches of his travels in California,
in one of the eastern papers The National
copies the Professors remarks on the theator
at that place:
"The Grass Valley theatre, I found to be
rectangular wooden structure, situated in a
sort of garden down bye street. The foot
way TO it from the main street, down the bye
one is planked but has numerous large holes
in it well adapted for breaking a leg, grazing
a shin, or dislocating an ankle. People cone
to the Theatre with lanterns and deposit
them in the refreshmeut saloon as they enter.
On the night | arrived, there was miners
ball in the theatre, and the seats were all
piled up in the garden outside, that Terpsi-
chore might have ample space to exercise her
self The next day they were replaced, be-
ing series of planks, elevated on some in
clined supporters Of considerable strength.
There was a box plan in the front office
formed out of a slab of pine wood, on which
q diagram of the seats was drawn and num-
bercd party coming in and paying for a
seat, took up nail and drove il into pine
plank over his number. IT, on coming at
night. he had chanccd to find any one in pos
session of the seat he had "nailed' he would
most probably have driven "A boWie-knife into
Che said occupant Just as coolly as he had
driven the nail into the board @ The re
tainers Of seats were for the most part not
gentlemen in dress coats, with polished boots
and white kid gloves, but swuthy miners
with hairy faces, red shirts, and boots heavy
with mud. played three nights the re
ccipts amounting to about $1,000
