OPERA HOUSE, MELoDEoS. "A de.

House last evening, and u particularly
healthy and respectable audience wit.
messed it. Charley Rhoades appeared
again in his appropriate place as ''mid
die man." adding very materially to
tho general effect in the "frst part"
Miss Josephine, the most lasting popu-
lar favorits in her line who has ever APP
pesred before a Virginia and Gold Hill
audience, made her bow before them
once more and did up some of her unri-
vailed jig dancing. Kitty 0'Neil served
up a rich variety of her jolly Irish
songs. Bamford sang the Maid OF
Kildare in most uuaproachably artistic
style. Little witching Katy Lecounte
sang the "Boy with the Curly Hair"
very pleasingly. Katy evidently studies
to improve. She is new in the business,
but even now succeeds better than
many Of greater pretensions. Tommy
Farrou's very amusing series of
sketches" are in great favor and loud
ly applsuded each evening. 1t is evil
dent that his Nibs is on it," The
balance Of the company succeeded gen-
orally we'll in their parts. Sammy
Goodchild brought down the house
with his broom.ranger" act on n
single string, entitled "Arise, ye Sleep
ers." He certainly made a paying hit.
The principal novelty of the evening,
however, was the rope walking and
other doings Of Professor Dc Houne, the
oue-lsgged rival Of the great Blondin.
He walked with his oue good leg and
one wooden leg along II rope which was
stretched the entire length of the thea
ter, above the dress circle and to the
rear Of the building. He stopped mid
way Of the rope, over the parquette,
took a cook stove of his back, balanced
it on the rope, cooked II beef steak and
ate it, laid dowR on his back awhile,
Just to settle his meal, and then got up
and walked through, finishing by n
spring Of several feet into the dress
circle. He also gave q waltz on the
stage, with q small dining table in his
teeth, and afterwards danced q lively
Irish jig with his one leg. All these
doings Of the Professor can hardly DC
called "feats," as he has but the one
foot but he certainly does what would
be called wonders for wen q rope
walker with two good legs. He is on
the bills again for to night, together
with other choice novelties and a rich
general entertainment.
DANBIa FIXTURE. A special pro-
gramme printed and sent us from the
Enterprise office this morning announces
among the other novelties which arc to
transpire at the Opera House tonight:
"Prof. Dan de guile, the great two
legged artist, introducing his celebrated
dambig-fcet on the tight rope 1t also
sets forth that "Prof. Dan de guile
saved his leg bacon y by not fighting
for the restoration Of our glorious
Union" etc. All right, old toppy /;
'Tisn't the first time that melodeon
folks have got you o a string" We
always felt that sooner or later you
would perform your great "break-neek
act on a single string" or rope, it's all
the same. We've had your obituary
notice written out for some time. Here

HoRNrowS PoLIcS.-Our Virginia
ucighbors do not seem to be at all salts
fed with their police department. They
speak of them as not the most effective
police in the world, and say that the
peace and dignity Of the community has
not been preserved by them in anything
like a satisfactory manner. They GER
tainly have not done much in the way
Of preventing nffrays, bloodshed n
crime Of late, or even in arrestiug the
perpetrators thereof. The people are
free aud earnest in saying and believing
that had Al. Waterman been taken to
the station house the other evening,
when arrested at the club room by re-
quest Of Goodman, instead OF allowing
him to 90 back there, well knowing that
he was armed and meant mischief,
Waterman would not have got killed,
and his blood would no now be on
Goodman's hands. Surely the powers
that be ought to be able to organize and
support a good police department where
there are so many really good aud expe-
rienced policemen to be had for the ask
ing. The sooner ineficieucy is set aside
and a better order of things inauSuratod
the better.
