- yov-,s LIFE Hrs7onr OF, 4

six months ago-a gentleman residing
near the old Ophir hosting works, at
Virginia, found q newly born female in
FAINT done up ina bundle and deposited
on his front door step. It was fortu-
nate, perhaps, that be discovered 1t AS
did, for q few minutes later it might
have been rooted about and deyoured
by some hogs which were strayiug near.
He took the little stranger in and his
lady gave it proper care, but it was a
poor "wee bit Of a thing only weigh
ing about two pounds, and not wishing
to rear il, and also DESTROYS that the
unnatural parents of this diminutive
outcast should assume their W re-
spou.ibility in the matter, the finder
gave it into the hands Of some Of the
civil authorities, and thus Capt. George
Dowuey, Of the police, temporarily took
charge Of it. The psreutage was
traced out, and the real mother found
to DO one Of the frail public sort. She
had heartlessly abandoned her little
babe when she gave it birth, and cast 1t
forth to drift for itself on the broad
ocean of life, exposed to the chance
kindness OF a world, fortunately not
altogether and entirely cold-hearted. We
are Informed that she is now at Silver
City. Before the little n was a week
old, Downsy found a IN who was
kind enough to adopt it as her own and
become q mother to the stray waif OF
humanity. Mercedes Navarro, o Chilean
woman dwelling on South G street, took
il to her home and heart, and gave 1t
all the true motherly care and attention
that a kindly disposition could suggest,
christening it under the name Of Amelia.
Its hold upon life was, however, buts
weakly one, and the frail little form
contin ually struggled with disease aud
iufantile sickness during its brief term
Of existence, until this morning at 3
o'clock-about the same hour that it
came into the world-the little outcast
was called home to its final rest, under
the protecting hand Of the great Father,
without whose ever watehful notice not
even a sparrow may fall to the ground.
This newspaper item is simply the
record of one little, short life; o life
without sin, unless it were the heredita-
~ effects Of sin inherited from sinful
parents, but above all it is illustrative
to US that mono are so utterly helpless
| that they may not be assisted, nor so
totally friendless that they may not find
friends.
PIpkR's OPERA Housr.--This popu-
lar dramatic institution was as well
filled as any one ever saw it last Sstur-
day evening, on the occasion of the
benefit to the Orphan Asylum Of the
Sisters Of Chsrity, and we are gratihed
to know that . goodly sum was melted
in aid Of so worthy az object. "Riche-
lieu" was most excellently performed,
although We sometimes fancied that
Mccullough was not quite so effective
10 the ]personation Of the great Cardinal
as We had seen him. The Dc Mauprat
Of Barrett was, as usual with all his
representations, finished and good. We
could suggest no particular point
wherein Bestty's rendition of De Bar
radas could we'll be improved. Mr..
Beatty is q very correct, painstaking
actor and in reality entitled to more
credit than he usually receives. In
many instances he is more entitled TO
be considered a star actor than some
whose ]pretensions are far greater.
Caldwsll's Joseph was also very good,
indeed, as was also the De Beriughen OF
Edouin, Miss Helen Tracy's Julie de
Mortimer, aud the Marion do Lorme OF
Mrs. Robinson. Some Of tue other
characters were well p%ersonated. On
Wednesday evening the great japanese
troupe will appear.

fray occurred at Q saloon in Reno, Sat.
urday evening, between Frank Hender-

not hurt, although some Of tho balls
passed through his clothing, pretty
close to his body. He Is under arrest.
THE JAPASrss.-The Japanese troupe
Of gymnasss and jugglers, Of whom We
have heard 80 much through the press
| Of San FRANCISCO, will appear at Piper's
| Opera House next Wednesday evening,
and every evening thereafter for some
eight days. They are sure to draw
crowded houses.
PAcrrrc MrtL.-Charley McWilliams,
