PIpER's OPERA HousE-THE MIN
srRELs.-The Opera House was crowded
again last evening, and the third APP
pearance of the California Minstrels
seemed fully rs appreciatively received
MS the first. Finer vocal or instrumental
music no one need wish to hear. Sands
and ashcroft can do up more lively and
violent dancing in the shortest space OF
time than any other two individuals
who have ever been within smell of our
native sage brush, and Ashcroft's char
song and dance last evening was
one Of the most exquisiteiy drell things
imaginable. He was rugged up rs m
old Irish woman-a gay old bog-trotter
and he sang such n quaint old song,
and trotted about with such u halting,
dilapidsted old gait, but occasionally
when o spasmodic fit of animation
would take possession Of those legs,
the effect was demonstrated in some OF
the most recklessly spirited and wildly
flung jogging anybody ever saw. Bam-
ford's inimitable prima donna act grows
in favor every evening. Johnny Mack
and Johnny De Angels are the two
droll "eud men" who make the first
part particularly funny with their queer
Jokes and cute remarks and witticisms.
George Goes being taken seriously i'll
Yesterday with q severe attack Of lum-
bago, could not appear last evening,
therefore Fred Sprung acted as "middle
man" in his place. This company play
ing entirely to lady audiences, they are
supposed never to say or do anything to
wound the feelings or offend the eye OF
ear Of the most sensitive lady in the
audience. Hereafter, as heretofore,
there will be no extra charge for re-
served seats, and the prices Of admis'
sion will be dress circle, 81 ; par
quette, so cents.
A YAwNISa GAP.-Reader, did you
ever reflect for a moment how natural
it is to yawn? No? Why it is just as
natural, but sometimes comical, as it is
to shut your eyes. But then, there is a
time for yawning as we'll as for eating,
drinking, or for anything else. Then,
again, everybody hasn't got Il real, nice,
fascinating yawu. But Smith has.
Smith was in tho News office yesterday
Blackburn and Jimmy Edding-
tom brought him down to see us and
the News o~fice). We were out-and
Smith didn't come any yawn over US
not much. But we met him Afterwards
and pom honor, Smith yawned three
times in FIVE minutes. He actually
yawned rs he drank q brandy cocktail
at Cross & Gibson's saloon. We con-
cluded Smith was a yawnist-in iact,
we became convinced Of it within an
hour afterwards. We saw him at the
r~efreshmeut stand in Doyle 4 Good
mans, and q large platter Of fresh
clans were on the bar. Smith looked
at the clans, and, unconsciously,
yswned twice-when, pom honor, every
clam on the plate, opened its mouth and
yawned. We are not given to exagger-
alton in anything-but we saw this
and as the old adage says, "seeing il
believing" we know it to be so. Frank
who owned the clans, privately told US
that he never knew them to act so be-
fore. Smith is the proprietor OF th'
ALEXANDRIA Minstrel Troupe, now a
Pipers' Opera House-but the stag
manager, Johnny Mack, does not ALLOW
him to get in sight Of the audience
while the performances are going on
for yawuing is catching-and to see
whole audience yawu is discouragine
to the performers. (If we had not seer
Smith yesterday, we should have misse'
this yawning and clamorous item
Hone we shall not see Smith again.
THE LATEST FROM CoMo.-A letter

I could never have believed 1t
had l never seen such a season
as this. l suppose, OF course
the late season and the immens'
amount Of water in the ground
is the cause. Around Governor eros
mans house, and where the Como Semi
mel Office was, and Hewlett & Swain
carpenter shop is now standing, is all
miry place, the water standing on tn
surface. 1t sinks there, and rises agar
where Runk's stable and the brewer!
stood. The rye grass is four or nv
feet high there. Every shaft, tunnel an
excavation Of any kind is full of water
and the snow has only just disappeared
from sight on this side Of Mt. lincoln
we think we can observe an increase o
water since the earthquake. Be that q
it may, water showsitself now in place
where it never was seen before by tn
Oldest white inhabitant."
