The entertainment" furnished last
night, by the ladies connected with MIR.
Stands church, was recherche and eminent
y deserving of praise. The tableaux were
beautiful-"Mari Antoinette separated
from her children" was apparently the
favorite- being repeated several times.
But upon the fall of the curtain, as if at the
command of magician-presto! change
the entire room, stage included, was trans
formed into ba anqueting hall, with fairy-like
creatures at your elbows, ready and willing
to obey your commands promptly and
furnish n hot supper, IN ice cream, or a
glass of claret. And whether or not the
visitors had tho erection of the parsonage
uppermost in their minds, or were only
tickling their dainty palates, we cannot say,
but certainly substantials, followed by O
profusion of dainties, disappeared rapidly,
and the pile of greenbacks- termed money
by the truly loil-in front of the cashier,
increased materially in size The enter
tainment, exhibition, or whatever it may be
termed, will be continued tonight; but, as
the play say, ''there will be an entire
change of programme"-mu by the Uni
versity Band being added to the other
attractions. Reader, go by all means. If
you have no fancy for tableaux; are dyspep-
tic, and cannot enjoy good eating; teeto-
taller, and dare not imbibe; there is in store
for you something beyond all these, which
you are compelled to enjoy, and that is
collection of the handsomest ladies-we
have never kissed the Blarney- stone, remem-
ber-that can be produced. Seeing is
believing; and if there is the least doubt on
tho subject, by investing twenty-five cents
the question will be settled satisfactorily.
