INSURANCE. ANEXIrIEs.-Not a year
ago there was a FIRE in our neighboriug
city of Virginia, and among other VIC
Tins WAS a Jew clothing dealer who lost
his entire stock, saving only the cloth
ing he stood in. His loss was about
two-thirds covered by insurance, other.
wise he would have been u ruined man.
The next day II certain insurance agent,
not concerned in the loss, expressed his
opinion, not only to ~ourself, but to
others, that this same clothing dealer
aforesaid might have set the fire him
self, and cited in support Of the idea the
fact that he kept his iron doors securely
| closed against the admittance Of every
body and would not allow any one to
remove any portion Of the goods, but
deliberately permitted the whole to be
DESTROYED by fire. This argument might
all sound well enough to inexperienced,
easilyprejudiced persons, yet in consid-
GRAFTON of the fact that in the removal
Of a stock Of clothing under those cir
cumstancss, it is generally looked upon
by petty larceny thieves aud others as a
legitimate occasion for wholesale and
retail plupder, the Israelite in question
was perfectly right in closing his doors.
He was insured against fire, but not
against stealage and removal damages.
As q disinterested outsider, however,
we could not help thinking that in case
we should ever, through some strange
| aud unforeseen circumstance, be aftn-
ent enough in the clothing line to re-
quire insurance, we would not be likely
10 insure with . company whose agent,
in case we were burnt out, would so
unkindly express his opinion to out
siders that we committed the dirty
crime in order TO get the insurance.
The loss would be rough enough on us
without the foul aspersion on our good
faith. In our advertising columns can
be found duly set forth a number of the
very best and most reliable Insurance
'companieS, with whom il is II pleas
ure as well as profitable to deal, and
whose agents will never accuse their
patrons of rogucry unless it is proved
on them. Read, reflect, select your
company and get either your property
or your life insured.
OPERA House. MELoDEoN.-Piper's
Temple of the Muses. is q decidedly
agreeable place to be at these raw, uu-
comfortable evenings. Good seats,
warm FIRE, plenty of jolly company,
good music and general fun on the
stage to enjoy, pretty girls to look at,
and other pleasing incidents all for four
bits, together with all the cigars, lager
and other refreshments thrown in that Il
fellow chooses to pay for. Bamford,
Farron, Parker, Burbank, Sparrow,
Kitty 0'Neil, Nellie Hosmer, Mollie
Lowe, Katie Lecounte and the rest of
this talented and versatile company do
their best each evening to amuse and
crafty the numerous patrons Of the
theater. This evening, among other
new features introduced, will he the
tight rope walking by Professor De
Houn, the only oue-legged rope walker
in the world. He will travel up and
down that little rope high above the
heads of the audience, taken cook stove
up, balance it on the rope, cook n boiled
dinner OF corned beef and cabbage, eat
it with the greatest gusto, impunity and
tomato catsup, pick his teeth with a
beef bone, smoke the stovepiPe, lie
down and take . nap, aud finish by
throwing q double back summersault
into one oc the upper stage boxes, or up
through the yentilator. The Professor
vii! do all he advertises to do. He and
Blondiu were raised boys together, and
both went through the same arduous
course of gymnastic sprouts but he
excels Bloudin in being able to do more
with one leg than Biondin can with
two. Secure seats early ut the Opera
House tonight, rs there is sure to be a
crowd.
"BR Yg H~EALED.''-.It is ncommon ex-
preston among the cutting and shooting
class of the community, when they
think blood is called for, to ask their
antagonist are you heeled % menning
"haye you got any weapons TO defend
Yourself with ?" In saying be ye
healed" however, we have no sach
s%anguinary ideas in our head, but sim
ply wish to direct the attention Of the
sick and ailing to the advertisements OF
Plantation Bitters, Schcidam Schnapps,
California Wine Bitters, Il. II. Mcdonald
& Co, San Francisco Hygeian Home
Water Cure, and other medical cards
and advertisements. Read, and he we
healed.
DoIyG WELL.-The Pride Of the West
mine, Just back of Silver City, is getting
along well under the present manage
ment. The little donkey engine placed
a, a shaft in the main tunnel, about 200
feet from its mouth, three or four
months ago, for the purpose OF raising
from below to the tunnel level,
relative TO which we made an item at
the time, operates admirably. The
mine is considered II paying concern,
and the proprietors evidently have u
good thing.
PAREpA-RosA.-The robust and rosy
Queen Of Song, 80 recently gone from
our gaze-thc divine Parepa,' rs
some Of our San Francisco exchanges
rapturously entitle her-n"s entered
upon an engagement at the Salt Lake
Theater, where she and her talented
,roupe are now doubtless holding forth
nightly to the supreme delight OF I'd
miring audiences OF the Saints 81

little song to sing TO them

in novelties throughout. Go and seei
