Burbank as the king, Amanda Lee as
the queen, westwood as the Priestly IN
ou;si,or, Fanny Hanks as the lovely
Casilda, and Woodland as the confident
mariner and amusing protege OF the
alittle DEVIL" were all satisfactorily
effective in the characters they person
sted, and in the afterpiece-Betsy Bak-
er-the Mrs. Mouser Of Miss Necie
Young, and the Msrmaduke Of Billy
Robinson were very good. Sue Robin
sons Betsy Baker, Of course, could not
fail to be excellent. The Duet Of Miss
Josephine and Barnwell, in the inter-
lude, was finely rendered, and much
applauded.
MONEY GErrSe.-Some people think
that it is necessary to be mean and
misery in order to become wealthy.
There never was q greater mistake. Any
man of common Intelligence may be
prosperous il he chooses to labor dill
gently and faithfully in u calling which
he thoroughly understands. or course,
prudence is indispensable to success
prudence, mind, not niggardly mean
ness, The man who, commencing with
little or nothing, has resolved to rise,
must also resolve to sacrifice nothing to
appearance. He cannot gain n true
friend, nor obtain popularity that will
really be useful to him in his efforts to
achieve independence, by e~ndeavoring
to seem what he Is not. The world is
shrewder than pr~eteusions suppose 1t to
be-. II Is a curious world-looks sharply
into peoples private affairs, and If an
Individual makes a show beyond his
means, soon discovers and distrusts
him. No one who has a fortune to make
or who desires to receive ever q mod
crate competence, can afford to incur
the worlds distrust. Therefore, If you
are at the foot of the ladder and want
to mount, 60 up in your work-day guise,
and don't affect purple and fine linen.
SIDEWALKS ON THE DwIpE.-Now that
the snow and ice has melted of suf-
6ciently on the Divide to allow Of mud
predomiuating, the orders Of the Vir-
ginia Board Of Aldermen are about to
be carried into effect, and a good side
walk constructed on the Virginia side,
through to the Gold Hill line. The walk
will be four feet in width, and the hun
dreds of foot passengers daily passing
10 and fro between the w towns will
find it O very great convenience, espe-
cially in muddy weather. The worst
and most ricketty piece Of sidewalk IN
that vicinity is near the junction OF B
and G streets, and belongs to ]. 9. Cur
RE, ESQ.,, the present efficient and trust
worthy Mayor of Virginia. If he don't
believe it, let him pass over it some dark.
slippery night, with a couple OF gallons
of beer in him. It is positively demon
alizing to contemplate that t~ortuously
horrible piece Of sidewalk. We saw
Chief Edwards, Of Virginia, on the
Divide this morning, inspecting the
"~situaton." BE has already notified
property holders, and the proposed
sidewalk will soon be commenced, to
the exceeding qualification Of public
foot passengers like ourself.
MAzEpPA To-NIoHr.-The charming
Miss Addie Lamont, recently arrived
from the Olympic Thea.er, San Fran
cisco, will make her first appearance
before a washoe audience this evening
at Pipers' Opera House. She will aP-
near in the great character Of Mazeppa,
the Tartar youth who did the double
bareback act so famed in theatrical and
other history. In order to render tnis
piece with all the more satisfactory
effect, Miss Lamont has brought along
her beautiful and well trained stud

to be fully equal or superior in some
