TOBACCO.

The Doctor leans back on his old settes,
A putting rank cigar,
And he grins grin, so pleased is he,
To puff the smoke atar;
And he snufs and anuffs, and puifs aud puts,
Like man with bad satarrh
His boon companion beside him sits,
And = stale old quid he ohAws;
And plug Of weed, which he bites into bits
He holds in his dirty paws;
And he sits and sits, and squirts aud spts
The slime from his juicy JAWS.
And happy are they pair of twins,
A-spitting and slObbering there,
With dirty spittoon between their shins,
Which they hold with the greatest care,
Forgetting their debts and forgetting their sins,
And forgetting the need Of prayer

Your mother thought you pale
Half in earnest, half In fan,
Said your name should tell the tale.

Those tiny checks that met her gaze
Would e'er be willingly dlsiort

ITALIAN OPERATION Pasqudle. Doniketti's
Charming comic opera of "Don Pasqualep Il
monument of earnest fun and full of humor-
Gus episodes. Theintriguing Doctor Malatesta
is the model, practical Joker of the operatic
stage This work is the only purely comic
opera of Donizetti that ever succeeded in rails
ing enthusiasm, and one of the few musical
compositions of that school that ALWAYS sus-
tanned the reputation of its composer Its ripe,
merry, expanding music requires a perfect rep
resentatiOn on the part of the artists in the
cast, and justly merits conscientious treatment.
This treatment it will undoubtedly receive at
the hands of such artists as Mile Antiouette
konconi, Signor Baragli, Signor Maria, signor
konconi and Signor Sussini, with Carlo Fat
tori as conductor. The N. Y. Times of April
7th, speaking of its rendition in New York
city, says Mile Antionette Ronconi had a very
enthusiastic recall after her duet with the Doc
tor, which terminates the first act; her voice
was in fine, fresh condition anil served her well.
In this opera, too, Signor Ronconi carried off
such honors as few lyrical artists have aspired
to in this vicinity, much less achieved. 1t was
merited success. Such acting, so perfect in
all its details, has never been witnessed on the
operate STAGE"
The opera tomorrow evening, at Deering
Hall, will be performed with precisely the same
cast as at the Academy in New York. The
visits OF such artists are rare, and we expect to
see, on the occasion, a crowded and apprecia
tive audience. We are requested to state thai

TIE WATER SuPrLY seems to be a. far
of as ever, to wit, sixteen or seventeen
miles. After comforting with the Fort
land Water Company and making such other
inquiries as seemed proper and necessary, the
committee having the matter in charge nave
reported that it is inexpedient to accept the
proposition OF the company, and the report APP
pears to have been accepted as final. We hap
pen to know that the committee has been IN
vestigaiing the subject as thoroughly as the
time at their disposal would permit, and II Is
fair to suppose that the reasons which leu 70
the rejection of the proposition were SOUND ana
good. We regret that these reasons were not
stated in the report This is matter in which
every citizen is interested, and there is gem
eral and not unreasonable desire to know not
only what has been done but achy. A new
committee has now been raised to prosecute
the general inquiry, how to procure supply
of pure water at the cheapest rate. / may be
regarded as settled, that the city will not I'M
dertake, in addition to its other charges ct
this time, to construct water works. All that
| remains for this committee to do, therefore, Is
| to ascertain ON what terms private corpora
ton ought to engage in such an enterprise,
| and next TO find a corporation to undertake
it. The preliminary work in the way of sur.
veys and estimates ought to be promptly and
thoroughly done, and the contract closed, il
possible, this fall. Time is an element in econ
omy. The working season is passing rapid,
away. 1t is necessary to consider we'll ant
carefully every step of an undertaking so i'm
portant; but it is necessary also to be ready Il
embrace the favorable opportunity when
comes. We had hoped to see this work begun
before the close of the present year. That hop
may yet be realized, but prompt and energeti
action will be required sea3ib sl

No DELAY IN REcoNsrRUcT1oN.-Th fears
that have been expressed that reconstruction
would be delayed on account of the neglect OF
citizens to register and vote for conventions in
sufhcient numbers to meet the requirements
OF the acts OF Congress, seem groundless. The
law provides that mo such convention shall be
held unless majority OF all the registered vo.
tiers shall have voted on the question: The
retuns from the South leave no doubt that not
only maiorityof the voters who have register.
ed viii give their ballots for convention, but
that in several of the States the vote will be
almost unanimous in its favor. 1t is believed
'hat even If all those who are opposed to recon
structlon should register and vote, they would
in every State be overborne by the united
strength OF the blacks and the white Union
