Virginia city-as we have improved &C
casion to remark several times hitherto
If Virginia had been located on
plateau, a table land, if there had beer
a table land to locate it on, there woulc
have been a fine city. For in the flush
days of Washoe the desire and the
ability to build fine residences were
"abouudiug." Virginia would have
had several fine streets, bordered by
very handsome brick buildings, if in
early times, or in '63 times, men Of
means could have found any place to
pu, their money in stately dwellings
One good building, Of a kind not other
wise built, did come of flush times in
Virginia. While most Of those who
made fortunes from our "wild cat"
built their fine buildings in San Fran,
cisco, one Tom Magure of that city did
our people the favor to erect u hand
some ,heater on d street, Virginia. a
kindly remembrance Of Tom, for this,
Having passed through many vicissi'
,udes of ownership, it has at last got
into the right hands. John Piper is the
bes, man in Virginia city to have and
hold such a piece Of property, for the
benefit of the public, and John and
Henry Piper are the right sort OF ousi-
ness men, we believe. to conduct a place
of public entertainment in Virginia sue
cessfully in a pecuniary point of view
for themselves, while giving unusual
satisfaction to patrons. 1t is greatly
To be hoped - as we do not
d~oubt-that the Piper Brothers will
mako such a chit on returns from
their first months run at their Melo-
deon, that they will be able TO calculate
upon a sure profit for the Winter,
while keeping up the best kind OF q
melodcou performance. Our people
like new faces frequently, and at the
same time eviuce a Partially Tor some
who have rendered themselves "oid
f,yori,es." OF the latter, you may
mention Johnny Tuers aud Charley
Rhoades. We might almost say, that
our folks have an affection for Johnny.
He fills his share OF the bill always.
Rboades, when in voice-(ani he should
take A pack and get rid Of that cold)-
is ALWAYS greeted with a warm welcome
and applauded loudly in his original
songs aud banjo Accomplishments
Aud all personal acquainsances
like those boys; which is a men,
tionable item in their favor as stan
dard melodeonists. Miss Kate ONeil
has an excellent voice, good initiative
powers, a list of songs which were ex'
p~ressly prepared for her, is a "rale Irish
girl. and can dance well enough to
attend the Duke of Linster's wedding

Sprunr and Tommy Bree are valuable
accessions to any troupe. Foster sang
Aura Lee last night charmingly, and II
the chorus had kept time the song wouia

Barnwell has exquisitely fine tones, and
If he sang in Arabic the language OF
his songs might be partially understood
or guessed at. thinner is a chief with
his violin. The theater now is admira-
bly arranged, we'll lighted and warmed.
A good place to go and enjoy an even
