concluded to reform aud become bet
ter man as far Ms whisky drinking is
concerned; was duly initiated into a
lodge of Good Tsmplsrs. He came.
forth from the company Of his newly
found brethren and sisters a regenerated
man. No more sprees for him no more
running late nights, and big hair-pul-
ling old headaches all the next day.
The social glass and the obliviating
bottle should never more profane his
lips, for he had sworn eternal enmity TO
the seductive fiend who had hoored
him in so many well-coutested eneoun-
tiers, and now he was u free man, drink
ing nothing henceforward md. forever
but that Parnassian beverage known as
cold water. Filled with these sternly
y~irtuous ideas, he marched with u proud
step down street. He met Wackelsoy.
"Wack | old boy" says he, wish me
10Y. I've struck it big I'm a boss.
Give me both yer hands, old Teller, I'm
the happiest dam euss in the world.
It's a big thing. Don't ask me what it
is; it's the biggest thing on ice let's
20 in here, Wack, and take a drink
Drink after. drink they took together,
and Spikins in, the JOY Of his heart I'M
folded the secret cause Of his present
happiness to his bosom friend waek-
olsby. He oven by the %sloquence
of his persuasion induced him to
agree to Join tho b%ene6cent order
M the very next meeting. They took
more drinks aud both got as tight as
bricks. "wsck," says Spikins, "the
Good Templars ouGhter be (hie) sneour-
aged, you bet. It's biggest thing on ice,

ously hilarious and the last We saw OF
the Jolly pair they were Keeling of to-
ward The station house, each holding
fast to n policeman, under the impress
sion that they were being conducted to
the Lodge so that Spikin's might pro-
pose Wackelsby for initiation.
PIrxus' OPERA HousE-" ARRAu-SA
PoauE."-An immense audience greet
ed the frs, presentation Of the famous
Irish play Of " Arrah-na-Pogue at the
Opera House last evening. Mr.. Wheat
leiyh's shaun the Post" was a very
excellent piece Of acting, although per-
hsps not the best enactment Of that
character we ever saw, and his tendi-
ton Of the famous song, Wearing OF
the Green" Was decidedly unequaled
before on that stage. Tho I" Arrah
Meelish" Of Miss Huxley was very
pleasing, aud correctly given, and Miss
Frmin as L" Fanny Powers did very
we'll, and received much applause
in her song of Goodbye, Sweet
heart, Goodbye" Hamilton's "Bea-
mish McCoul" was fairly rendered, and
Woodlands "Col. O'Grady" gave very
good satisfaction, although in his case,
as we'll rs in some others, the audience
was occasionally reminded OF tho pres
ence of the prompter. The "Barn Door
Jig was given by Miss Josephine and
Frank Sparrow In a particularly liroly
and ef ectivc manner. The minor char
actsrs were generally quite we'll rem.
dered, and the piece passed ot as VOL
as could reasonably have been expected
on so short u preparation. The new
scenery painted by Albert Hires, the
scenic artist, was generally well eIecu-
ted, especially the concluding scene in
the last act, but its effectiveness was
considerably marred by the inefficient
working of the machinery and scene
shifting. All these little points, how
ever. will be remedied, aud this evening
"Arrah-Na-Pogue" will be Strengthened
out all right. Even ss it was last eve-
ming, it never was so well put upon that
stag before. Secure your seats early
for tonight.
NILLEAIS, ruE MuRDHRER.-John Mil
lesin, sentenced to be hung on the Gath
of mex month, for the murder Of julie
Buls,te-Jauuary goth, lsS7-quistly
occupies his cell in the County Jail, and
G perfectly cool, calm and self
possessed under the circumstances. One
would naturally suppose that in view o.
his approaching doom he would at least
show some sign Of repentance for the
horrible crime he is to expiate on the
gallows, yet he apparently cares but
little for the company or conversation
Of his spiritual advisers, and would
seemingly rather they would let him
alone. His health is good, and his ap'
petite excellent. Hardened and unre-
pentent he will doubtless 60 to his final
account, and his soul enter upon thai
unknown sphere Of existence beyond
the grave, there to meet tho soul of.hei
whom he so foully ~strangled to death.
