Amusements.

OPERA House. An exceedingly
large and unusually fashionable audi
ence attended the grand presentation
of Shakspeare's great tragedy,
"Othello," last night. The per-
Torrance was above the average by
far. There were many faults in the
piece, but more to commend. There
was not voice enough in several
of the parts. Miss Rickcords was
at times scarcely audible, though
she played the character OF
Desdemona " in a highly artistic
style. Mr.. Gotthold as "Othello "
was in many passages really sublime.
{" Iago," by Mr.. Barr, was we'll i'm
personated. The Emelia " of Mrs.
Coleman Pope in the last act, was in
the very highest style, and won we'll
merited applause. The highly tai
ented lady has never appeared to so
great advantage as on this occasion.
We have seldom seen finer acting.
Tonight, which, by the way, will
be the last of the season, will be pro-
duced a most pleasing comedy, entitled
She Would and he Wouldn't" The
plot is a succession of thrilling and
amusing combinations. The play has
never before been produced in this
city, and is worthy of a full house.
In addition to this it is the occasion
of a special benefit to Mr.. j. N. Gott-
hold, who as lessee and mana
ger has, at much sacrifice, striven
to cater to the amusement and
edifcation of our citizens. AS this
is the last night and a special oc-
c%asion, w expect to see an overflow
ing house. The winter season will
open in about four weeks, and in the
meanwhile Mr.. Gotthold will open
for a short season in each of the fol.
lowing cities: Greensboro, Hender-
son, Mt. Vernon, Paducah and New
Harmony, and we com mend him as
an accomplished gentleman and a fine
actor. His company is far above the
average of stock companies.

BROOKY Burns. - The notorious
character. whose name heads this arti-
Gle had q hearing before the Recorder
yesterday, ON charge of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. To the
charge of drunkenness hs plead
guilty. but insisted that no was not
disorderly. The charges were both
sustained fully by the evidence, and
Brocky was fined so, with cost to
the amount of 81 %, added. This
man has figured often before the Po-
lice Court at Memphis and other
river cities, and bears the reputation
of being one of the smartest of his
class of men. 1t is almost impossi-
Bile to detect him 10 rascality, although
he has been repeatedly arrested on
grave charges. On hearing the de-
cision of the Court, he very coollyre-
marked to the Chief of Police that he
had nothing further to say, but was
ready to board out the amount with
him. This fellow ought to be made
work out the amount at some
sort of hard labor, whether 1t be OF
service to the city or not.

A New DoDGE--It is said that a
somewhat waggish individual, who is
fond of his " tea" hit on an expedient
night before last to get his liquor free,
and ~practiced this e~xpedient with
splendid success. Seeing that the
excitement had not all died
out, and hat there was still chance
to gull some of the "gullable,'
be rushed into a saloon where there
were a number of Democrats, and
announced that a dispatch stating
that Hendricks was elected had been
received. OF course, the :" enthused +"
Democrats became more enthused, "
and one of the number " stood treat"
and then another, and still another.
1t is said this fellow practiced this
little dodge on two or three crowds
night before last. This is one way to
get liquor free.

UNaRATEFUL.-A gentleman who
arrived in the city yesterday from
Dubois County, relates a story of
how a prominent Democrat was
treated in that county, which is well
calculated to elicit sympathy for the
suffering Copperhead. In obedience
to the behests and out Of devotion to
the party, this enthusiastic worker in
a "lost cause" had, before the cleo
ton, taken four boarders, who he
proposed should have a chance to cast
their votes for Hendricks on the day
OF the election. The election day
| came, andwith his boarders Mr.. Dem
ocrat marched off to the polls. The
four men cast their votes for Hen
bricks, thus making the heart of their
friend glad. Being a prominent man
in that county our friend remained
at the polls to see that all went on
well, and while he remained the four
boarders returned to his house rob-
bed it of 5000, and then 'cut stick
and since that time have not been
heard FROM. Certainly this devotee
to the great principle Of the Demo-
cratic importation is entitled to and
ought to receive the sympathy of all
good Democrats. 1t is said this
Democrat is a first-rate fellow, but he
don't know how to " keep hotel" q

SHARP THEA few nights ago,
a burglar entered the Phoenix Saloon
on Water Street, by mean of an en-
trance from the real of the building,
and pillaged the money from the
drawer at the counter of the saloon.
Evidently, it was a sharp thief who
accomplished the work, for after hay-
ing provided two ways of escape, he
placed a chair right across the passage
way leading from the sleeping room
to the saloon, so that in case he
should arouse any one from sleep.
in the hurry they would fall over the
chair, and thus give the alarm in time
for him to make his escape. For
~tunately, there was but little money
in the drawer.
