McCrLLoueH To-SIour. - The above
named gentlemen appeared in ''Othello"
a, the Opera House last evening, sup
ported by a very excellent dramatic
company. Heretofore we have avoided
any comparison between the actors,
both being Of the very first order OF en-
.cellence, aud both in most points equal
" good. In our estimation, however,
is certainly the most polished
As Hamlet, we like McCul-
Tough best Of the two, and also as
but We never faucied his
so much. His make up in that
character, although not positively hide
Gus, was repulsiye, and we should rs
soou thought Of the fair, gentle Desde-
mona falling in love with II Digger In
dian tricked out in red and yellow
calico. 1t was unnatural. Barrett's
p~ersouation Of that character last even
ing was better in point OF make up
and personal appearance. His dress
was more appropriate, and dealing less
profusely in rcd ochre. he gave his fine
intellectual c~ountenRnce n clear Moorish
olive complexion really pleasing and nj
tractive. McCullough's lago was no III
provement upon that of Barrett. McCnl-
Tough is much the younger actor, but
with his present ratio of progressive
Improvement, If he continues IN the
profession, when he arrives Mt Barrett's
pre.en, age and experience he will be Il
better actor than Barrett is at this time.
In some points he is decidedly the fla
yorite even now. His Richelieu is the
hes, we ever saw. He will play it to-
night at the grand benefit OF the Or
phan Asylum, at the Opera House.
Miss Helen Tracy personated Desde-
mona last evening very pleasingly and
acceptably, and Mrs. Charles Poole's
Emilia was worthy Of commentator.
Willie Edouin succeeded very well MS
Roderigo, and Beatty, Melville, Robin
son and Caldwell each ~personated bis
allotted character very creditably. The
cas-, for tonight will he seen in our reg
ular theatrical advertisement 1t is
excellent one, and the theater will
be crowded.
HEALTHY CLIxATR.-E. w. Reyes,
ESQ.,, the well-knowu undertaken on
South c street, Virginia, yesterday as
sured US on his own personal obserra-
ton, that Virginia, Gold Hill and viein.
ity is the very hcalthiest locality he
knows Of anywhere, the proportion OF
deaths from sickness according to the
population being unusually small. He
says the monthly average Of deaths in
Virginia during the winter months Is
only about eight, while in the sickliest
part of the year-which is about now
the average is less than thirty. Twen-
ty.thres died last month. The proper.
ton Of deaths from mining accidents, OF
course, is large, but it is an established
fact that people coming here from San
Francisco or other parts Of California,
for their health, never fail 10 be oene-
fted by the change.
THr GaEAr BENEFIT To-SIoHr.-This
evening being the last appearance OF
Barrett and Mccullough previous to
their departure for Salt Lake and the
Atlantic States, they have generously
rendered their talented services at the
great benefit to the Orphan Asylum oil
the Sisters of Charity which takes
place at Piper's Opera House this even
ing. The play selected for the occasion
is-most appropriately "Richslieu,"
Mccullough personating the great Car
dinal. A large portion OF the dress
circle was already taken early this
morning, and therefore II crowded house
i, insured. So worthy an object should
be aided all possible, and everybody
buy a ticket, whether they 90 or
not.
THE LOST HANp.-The hand which
was torn of between the edge OF the
cage and the side timbers, from the
who was killed in the Imperial
Empire shaft some weeks ago, and
which fell to the bottom of the shaft,
was not found in cleaning IL the snmp
recently, in order TO sink the shaft
deeper. What became Of that hand no
one can tell for n certainty.
ST.. Mays School, vrsaIXlA.-SSint
Mary's School, under the charge of the
Sisters of Charity, Virginia, will re-
open on Monday, the l7th OF August.
Puuctual attendance requested.

ment made al the term OF Miss Ardery's
writing school just concluded, was by

was BY Miss Katie Fliedner.
