OPERA HOUSE MELoDEoS. - Ladies'
night at Piper, Opera House last even
lug called for a handsomely filled dress
circle, and none Of the ladies and gen.
tlsmeu present could fail to 90 home
well pleased with their evenings enter
tainmeut. The usual "'frst part was
given, consisting Of song, music, witt.
cisms, etc., Miss Ella LaRue filling the
place of Otto Burbank as lend man
quite creditably, although as Brother
Bones" she was evidently not so per-
fcctly At ease as when walking on 4
slender rope suspended high in mid mir.
Her long continued cold aud hoarsenets
still, unfortunately, remains as II deirI-
ment to her voice, and prevents her
singing. The peculiar soft, sweet mu-
sic Of the Swiss Bell Ringers, in tho int
terlude, was very much ~applauded and
eucored. Owing TO other singers having
colds, Tommy Fsrron had to perform
double duty in that respect, but he wa
fully equal to The task and carried
through in his usual excellent and nc
ceptable style. The ladies would b.
much pleased to see and hear Tomm
do his sketches" We wonder tina
he has not given them IA chance
Little Clara is nm ever popula
fayorite, and her sweet voice and merry
piquant songs are always ncecPt"ble
Her style is inimitabls. The grand
challenge dance Of Miss Josephine anc
Frank Sparrow is Il very amusing act
Josephine is the best jig dancer on the
coast, and Frank Sparrow is far from
being a "slouch" in anything he anderS
takes. Frank is u good delineativc
actor and always on the improve. Ho
is a very versatile and valuable membe;
Of any company of the kind. The "HiS
bernicon," or panoramic painting repre-
senting u large number Of views OF thu
principal cities, towns, rivers, axes
old castles, ruins, scenery II objects
of interest throughout Ireland, conelud-
ed an entertainment seldom equaled for
real pleasing excellence and interest.
We would suggest, however, to Man
ager Rhoades the perfect propriety OF a
little less drag in so long \ perform
ance, especially on ladies' nights;
Don't keep the curtain down long, ana
also rush business when it is up. II is
a sad deficit in any evenings entertain
ment when it is dragged out so long as
TO become tiresome to the audience.
Short, lively, spicy and interesting are
tho points in the case.
TAKE THEIR HOUSES ALoSG.-We no.
tice that pretty much all the emigran''
10 White Pine who go by their own
ROME and conveyance, take along either
lumber for houses to live in, or houses
already framed. This most certainly u
An excellent idea, in view OF the search
~ Of good habitatious reported to ex's'
in that far off region of severe winters
The man who takes his own cabin along
with plenty Of grub, clothing and blan
kets, may be considered as whole
footed"
