the handsome style that Scribuer ( Co.
are producing the entire series for the
American public. The history is fast
winning its way TO airst rank; for clear
ness of style, for fulness Of detail, for
authenticity of circumstance, for review
and correction OF many q historical err
ror, and for an Intelligent philosophy
and an impartial criticism of the great
crises aud the great actors in English
his,ory-for all those things that u re-
cord Of the past is desirable, accuracy
Of statement, attractiveuess Of style, and
truth Of Judgment, Froude seems to be
taking precedence Of most If not all his
predecessors, and leaving little for sue
cessors to undertake. We commend his
volume to the reading Of the rising gen.
Grafton of Americans. Mr.. Froude's
plan covers as yet only . century Of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the ripest and
rarest era of English life. His tenth
volume comes down to 1873. To be had
in Virginia city, through Lille Il Co.
Il should be in the Masonic and Odd
Fellows' libraries.
THEArRE.-We sincerely regret that
the audience at Piper's Opera House last
evening. was not larger than it did count.
OF Mr.. McCullough's, Isgo, we have fire.
quently spoken in high terms, and We
know that no one who listeued TO his
reading last.uight felt inclined to dispute
our commendation. We have repeatedly
assured our readers that 1t WAS the best
par, in his portfolio and we hope it will
be repeated on some Saturday night,
when all who would 60, find it most
convenient 20 attend. Ii would be al
most invidious as against Mr. McCul-
lough's self to psrtlcularize any portion
of his acting in this play. rs more ettec-
tive or artistic than elsewhere. His eI-
clamatiou of e Othello angry - is a
lesson in effective meditation and in-
Election. Colonel Taylor did more than
well" in Othcllo's habit. Let us have
this L" cast /" again. lsgo, and Hamlet,
are McCullough's best. Richelieu, to-
night. Recollect, this engagement soon
terminates, and we shall not here soon
see the like of such an actor as McCul-
Tough.
WHyrEwASHIxG.-As this important
portion Of the cleansing and brighten
ing business OF housedom is still going
on-May with us, MS ~ moving month,
running into June-we subjoin areceipt
which q correspondent has sent US, and
desires published for II new whitewash
as durable as paint, and very beautiful.
Dissolve 80 parts OF glue in $50 parts Of
water. Then add two parts OF = solu-
ton of caustic soda, specific gravity
l.5l, and boil. \ f~occulent precipi-
tate separates, which MAY however,
be disregarded. When the above
mixture has cooled, add fifty parts of
water-glaSs solution, and then stir in
enough oxide of zinc 10 give \ proper
consistence for painting. II necessary,
the mixture mus be passed through a
mill TO make i, smooth. This compost
ton, it is said, is well suited for either
wood, metal or brickwork. Two coats
should be laid on, and when they have
perfectly dried, u solution containing 10
per cent. OF chloride OF zinc should be
applied. This will give n beautiful gloss
and great durability 70 the composition.
The CoxIxG FARSI. JoHS's.-Our
citizens may reasonably look forward
for a carnival Of pleasure next week, at
the Theater Hall. The ladies of the
Parish. most kindly aided by numerous
friends, both here and in Virginia city,
are bringing all their arrangements TO
conclusion, and we can insure \ hearty
welcome, u%nbounded hospitality, and
pleasure unalloyed 70 all who may at
tend. II ia the desire of the Vestry that
this Fair and Festival may be so sue
cessful that another may never be requi-
site. Let everybody prepare for it.
The LEDGRR.-Bonner intimates that
Beecher has L" spread himself in his
novel undertaking. Another Ledger
feature is a series of articles from twelve
college presidents; Mr.. Hill of Harvard
leading off with II plea for the study OF
mathematics, and Mr.. Woolsey of Yale
following with an essay on the classics.
They are probably very learned and
doubtless very dull. BGgle, and Bur
rail-, respectively, have the Ledger, and
sell it-well, we don't really see where
they make any profit.
WAS 'RoUyD. -"Old Smarty from
Mud Springs was around the election
polls in Gold Hill, yesterday. He had
a"yaller GAL" on his back she was
leaning against II marble pillar, and
looked the very picture OF doubt as to
the result. "Smarsy" had the print
ing done in Virginia city-whieh &C
counts partly for the small vote the
~"yaller gal got" The gal" amt
around this morning started for Salt
River early.
