friend at the Bay sends rs q letter I'M
der date Of August 3lst, written in the
craziest, most unreliable style imngina-
Bile, from which we ferret but the fol-
lowing theatrical items: Elsie Holt,
the gay, shspely and pretty blonde,
opened at the ALEXANDRIA last evening.
Bob Marsh, whose doubtful ability was
justly criticised in the Nnws during his
last engagement at Piper's Opera House,
Virginia, is connected with the troupe
as leading old man ) no calls himself
Robert now. The portly and amiable
Mrs. Stewart and George Hinckley and
wife Miss Susie Soule) also appear.
Neil Warner closed his San Francisco
engagement on Saturday night last,
with q slim house. As an actor, | think
he IL superior to Barrett. He has o
commanding presence and deep musical
voice, and his excellent d%elineation is q
perfect treat. He opons in Sacramento
for a short engagement, and then goes
Salt backwards. Piper should secure
him for n short engagement. He would
undoubtedly draw we'll in case q decent
company supported him, which was
moro than he had here. Maguiro's
Opera House opens tonight with Sue
Robinson, Louise Arnot, Harry Hawk
and others, and will doubtless do u good
business. Sue Robinson and Miss Ar.
not ars both great favorites here. w.

of readings, recitations, etc. Lot US be
duly thankful Lolita 10 a charming
dancist, bapjoist, etc., but the plays
she has appeared in thus far have de-
veloped in her no extraordinary merit

Lousy CABBAGE HEADs.-The Carson
Appeal of this morning asks Will
some practical gardener suggest a mode
of destroying the lice in cabbage, by
means of which the scourge OF
the present season can be averted in the
future. There is scarcely q garden
patch in town in which every cabbage
la, not been destroyed. Some Of them
have arrived nearly to maturity and
began to head, whom tho leaves appear
to have spsead and gradually become
smothered with lice. Some folks nave
tried tobacco water, some salt water and
ashes. but all to no purpose. Where
the greatest amount Of alkali is to be
seen there are the greatest amount OF
lice Study the matter, gardeners"
In reply we would state that many a
% cabbage head" has found mercurial
ointment or unguentum very efhca-
cious. Brier used it once a month on
him over ut Como, at Meadow Lake, and
ever since he has been out to White
pine. and invariably with complete sue
cos, eyery time. Joking aside, how
aver. neiehbor, We are informed by a
e.ntlemsn.o of experience in gardening
matters that weak vinegar or a light
dilu,ion of sulphuric or nitric acid,
mi.ed with cayenne pepper and flour OF
sulphur in the proportion OF halt an

dss,roy the lice on rosebushes and other
nlants, and is death to bed-bugs.
