P,rERs' OrERA HousE.-The audience
of last evening wns'if anything larger
than at any previous presentation OF the
great sensational play of Under the
Gaslight," now having such Il famous
run ut the Opera. House. The eutire
dress circle was already engaged last
evening for tonight, rs well as the TWO
front rows for tomorrow night. The
interest in this wonderful piece seems
TO be on the increase, and the chances
are that it will run for u month or so,
Judging from present indications. No
piece was cver half so well put upon that
| stage rs this one. New scenes, proper
| ties and intricate machinery abound.
Without these concomitauts, however,
| the play would be decidedly tame and
unattractive, rs it contains several glar-
ing defects, and is not Il legitimate sub
iect for criticism. The scenic proper
ties render it in many points really and
snimatedly life-like.. The 4" Pier No
3O' scene, for instance, is well wor-
thy Of note in that respect. The
dance of "wharf rats" on the pier, to the
music Of the banjo. so well played by
"Joc," the ferry boat passing and re-
passing, in the distance, the small boats
with their occupants padding and rock
ing about in the most natural manner
imaginable upon apparently real moving
water,-the real heavy, genuine,
smacking blows on each others heads,
exchanged with the oar, between "Byke'
and "Suorkey," aud the grand general
pitching in Of the wharf rats, giving old
- Byke' particular tits, as they come
swarming from their hole in the old
pier, form u scene of great artistic aud
mechanical merit. The exciting rail-
road scene speaks for itself. Mr.. Hires,
the scenic artist, and Rippingham, tho
constructor of the machinery properties,
are deserving Of great credit for the
perfection Of their work. Messrs. Finn
and Goodchild, and their assistants be-
hind the scenes, have II pretty lively
time Of it, operating all those Intricate
and arduous arrangements.
THE BALL LAsr NIGur.-The ball of
| Yellow Jacket Hose Company No. 2, at
Theatre Hall last night, WAS n triumph
ant success, in every respect. The Hall
was well filled with a most agreeable
company, tho music was Of the very
best, aud everybody enjoyed themselves
hugely until a late hour Of the night,
or an carly honr this morning. Great
credit is due the Committee of Arrange
mcnts for the very beautiful and nppro-
pirate decoration OF the Hall, aud the
manner in which the ball was conducted.
II they had only made proper arrange
ments with Haight to have II bus come
down from Virginia ut . o'clock in the
evening, we know of Mt least one more
couple who would have been present.
As il was, no bus left Virginia after Z
o'clock, until midnight. We speak of
this point as a suggestion 20 the Com
mittee for the next ball ut Gold Hill dc.
string attendance from Virginia.
SoUru SEA SAvAGEs.-A small Skin
mish occurred day before yester-
day afternoon among the belligcrent
natives Of South G street, in the SAN
Cuinary,Third Ward, Virginia, a short
distance south OF the dog poisoning dis
trict about the St. Louis Brewery. Six
women and n man got out into the mid
die of the street, fighting like so many
cats. They were all arrested and taken
before Justice Bush yesterday, who
charged each one what he thought was
right in the matter. One woman had u
huge bunch Of hair torn out by the
roots in this little neighborly quarrel.
Such 'doings are a disgrace 10 any civil
lied city, especially on the most public
street. Why has that city ordinance
against allowing such cribs to exist
west of d street been so willfully ig-
nored by the proper officers?
TsE ConFIDENcs.-The hosting ope-
rations at the shaft house Of the Conf
dence mine are in n state Of suspension
inst at present, but will start up again
in a day or two. Owing to the settling
of the surface, the engine and other ma
chinery had to be "lined up or
brought to II level, and tue gHllows
frame and top timbcring Of the shaft
has been raised II foot or two.
To THE UsREcIsrERED'-All intending
or desiring to vote at tho Virginia City
election, which takes place May 4th,
should bear in mind that they must reg
lister their names by the oath inst, rs
the books for registration close on thai
day. The registry books for the First
and Second Wards arc kept Mt the Office
Of Justice Bush, and those for the Third
and Fourth Wards, ut Justice Adkison's.

Wells, Fargo l. Co.'s Gold Hill office,
