ENTERTAINMENT.

b One week from tonight, the entertainment
for the benefit of the Sanitary Fund takes
place at the Old Theatre, under the auspices
of the Ladies Of Gold Hill. Elsewhere in
our columns to-day will be found the pro-
gramme, so far as the same has thus far
been decided upon by the Committee of Ar
rangements. As will be seen BY the list of
ladies composing the committee, the matter
is in the hands OF the wives, sisters and
daughters of ouI best citizens. They are
driving their preparations for the festival
with industry and energy, and those who
have the financial department under their
control are "rustling" around most actively,
and We are pleased to learn, with most ex-
eellent success. The sale Of tickets thus far,
has been more extensive than could hardly
have been expected in the short space of
three days occupied. The committee are
sanguine of 4 complete success, aud are con
6dent of being enabled to purchase a silver
brick that will cause the good people Of st.
Louis and the country round about to stare
in establishment, and the hearts Of the sick
and wounded recipients Of the benefit grow
glad. The generous donors will not be with
out their portion Of the pleasure resulting
from the donation. Everything that the fair
committee can devise to render the enter
tainment pleasant in the highest degree is
being done. The lovers Of good music will
be RECALLED with the best efforts OF the Viz
ginia and Germania Glee Clubs; the votaries
of the "ight fantastic" will glory in the
finest ball of the season; and they to whom
those creature comforts that cheer and sus-
tain the inner man are the object Of para
mount importance, will have set before them
a feast of good things at which there shall be
nothing wanting that the Territory affords.
There are mysterious conferences going on
between the foraging parties Of the commit
tee and the bakers of large cakes and pies,
they that are deep in the art Of compromising
s,upendous confectionery, delicious to the
taste and stunningly gorgeous TO the eye;
they that deal in choice articles Of grocery,
fruits and all manner Of "manavelins" and
they that STAY fatted calves. All such as
these are besieged BY the persistent and ire
sistible foragers, and the same surrender at
discretion. There is no talking back to that
committee. They are animated with the
spirit, and clothed with the mantle of the
redoubtable Captain Scott, and the dealer in
good things "comes down" like the tradi-
tional coon. Who dare refuse That thing
has been tried elsewhere-even in Sacra-
mento-and what was the consequence
Wrath. Wrath feminine Wrath too great,
indignation too terrible to be wasted in long
TRADES Of ordinary feminine volubility wrath
boiled down to pint, and concentrated into
one scathing resolution Of rcbuke; which
resolution reads at follows, to wit:
RssOlrsd. That those who met Us with such re-
plies /" Precious little will the soldiers get,
simply mean; Precious little do wish them 10
get; and those who replied Il have nothing to
give" and its evident meaning, are no friends 10
the cause of liberty aud humanity.
There's a. an opinion as is an opinion"
Short and sweet, and to the pint" II any
he that walk this burgh desires to become the
subject of such resolution, or perhaps
worse one, let him say "No," to the Skin
mishers of the Ladies Committee. He shall
walk henceforth in the shadow and outer
darkness Of fair woman's contempt, and
shall through all time dof his beaver, and
grin horribly his CHASTITY grimace in vain.
No sweet smile shall greet him; but the avert
ed eye, the curling lip. the nose elevated and
the unbecoming frown shall pass him by in
seorn. God help the ayaricious, unpatriotic,
ungrateful hunks:
He. living shall forfeit fair renowu,
Aud douhy dying shall go down
To the vile dust from whence b. sprung,
Unwept, unhonor-d and unsuug"
