prised at the improvements that hav'
been made in the arrangement OF tn
boxes, etc. The boxes which during
Max Walters management disfgureo
the dress circle have been taken down
and the circle is of its old and propeI
accommodating dimensions. Under the
sides of the dress circle gallery twelve
boxes have been built-six on eact
side,-and their placing is an improve
ment in all respects. We were u
prised 10 note how much more comfort
able and cosy the building OF these
boxes had made the parquet. Every
one will agree on sight, that this Is a
very great benefit to the house, areni'
tecturally speaking, and otherwise; geo
Smith, of Red Mountain, expressed won.
der to us that "some id fool didn
think OF that arrangement before.
For which rather equivocal remark nc
should be held responsible by the proper
parties. The aisle or passage-way 10 the
boxes is from the front end and the
p~assage-ways lead on to the stage. At the
northeast end of the theater, Piper mas
had a small wing built on,-making "
spacious and handy sitting room for tue
performers. 1t is handsomely carpeted
furnished with sofas, lighted with gas
and warmed by a small but high-pres'
sure stove. Leading into this sitting
room-which is on n level with the
stage-is n door which opens on q piazza
walk to D street, and a flight of stairs
to Z street. Gas has been introduced
for lighting the stage, and coal oil is
only used in the lighting of the body Of
the theater. The boxes are cut in such
a bias ann as to afford a good view
of the stage to all who may occupy
them. As to the performances we
have not time to psrticularize many OF
the items, but the bill was decidedly
acceptable to the audience. Mr.. 7. F.
Barnwell seems to be II ~favorite here.
He has an exquisitely fine voice, and II
his articulation was somewhat more
distinct, so that you could understand Il
small percentage of the words of the
songs he sings, he would meet with
unanimous approval. Charley Rhoades,
Notwithstanding he had a severe cold,
sang to such editication that he was
called to repeat. Tommy Bree was also
eucored in the first part, and ditto OF
Foster, Whose "Aura Lee we hope to
hear AGAIN.. Miss Jennie Morton sang
" Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still,
and the audience again called ''repeat.'
Johnny Tuers-who seems to possess
the faculty Of making the audience
"a pheel phunny all over"-sang eight
Hours a Day." with 80 many demands
for extensions of his verse that he fairly
lost his breath in the chorus. That
song suits the boys, e~minently. The
grand wslk-a-round" was rs lively as
was ever footed. Then came the great
favorite of the Virginia stacy Miss
Kathleen O'Neil. She must be seen
and heard in her comic and pathetic
songs to be appreciated. Four times
she wa. ordered to appear and sing and
dance last night. Her Kitty from
is as original in her rendering as
though it had never been poorly imita-
ted by others. Tommy Bree played a
couple Of pieces on the banjo, in a style
that brought down the house powerful
". Johnny Tuers, in the caterwauling
act, was as funny as the law OF back
action would allow. In the closing
piece the ladies appear in yellow stock
iugs, so far as they can.

An USRuLY ToSGUE.- We are in
that a man named Melville was
terribly beaten last evening, in a saloon
in Gold Hill, for calling another man
some very hard names-such as s-n OF
A b-h, etc. We have ever observed
that one of the very best weapons a
man can carry through this world, is a
peaceable, uuoffending tongue. A foul.
slippery tongue, is worse than n pistol
or bowie-knife. A sacred regard for
the feelings of others is n true index Of
a good and honest heart-whether prac-
ticed by a or woman
