BG- The Evansville Opera House,
not proving a success for what it
was originally intended,--a dramatic
temple-has been converted into
gladiatorial arena for british bruisers
to exercise their muscle in the
manly art What kind of taste,
if any, can Evansvillians possess?-
Nel1 Harmony Register.
Evansville possesses q taste for
oircuses--" saw-dust opera and
never fails to patronize them liber-
ally. We also believe the people of
Evansville have a high appreciation
of good dramatic representations, but
they have been bored so often by poor
companies, that it is a difficult matter
to get them to turn out when a good
company pays US a visit. And
that's what's the matter"

DGSince Mt. Vernon has put in
claim for the seat of the National
Government, she is preparing to put
on airs. The city is to be lighted with
gas, an ordinance providing for the
same having been passed not long
since. We think if Mt. Vernon will
announce this fact to the authorities
at Washington, that they will imme-
diately pack up and move the Govern
ment offices to the former place, as
with such superior claims, St. Louis
would stand no chance against Mt.
Vernon.

very much like the kangaroo. This,
in connection with the Grecien
bend and the diminutive boot-heels,
makes their motions anything but
graceful and dignifed We hope
the disease will not reach this city.

Umpire, and are all comparatively un-

slight bruises and contusions. Ma

Bentley Is a little Scared on the

what stunned by the conclusion. He
was not thrown into the river, as was
reported. A small portion of the
roof on which he was standing re-
NAMED in position, but sunk down a
few feet. He considers his preserya-

All were blown up together. Ma

that has occurred since the Mozello
exploded at Cincinnati, in 1888.

THE CRoPs = ANDY JOHNSON
Major Gardner has just returned from
visit to Pulaski, Tennessee, and from
him we CLEAN some items In regard to
the cotton and tobacco crops in the
counties through which he passed.
Hereports that not over a third of a
cotton crop will be raised in Giles,
Murray and Davidson Counties. The
tobacco crop in Southern Kentucky
was in bad showing as he passed
through, about two weeks ago, on his
way to Pulaski, but as he returned
the crops looked better, on account of
the late rains. The crop will be light,
however. Major G. also had talk
with Andy johnson. the great =" de-
fender of the Constitution, flag
with thirty-six stars" &C., and that
modest individual assured him that
he would certainly be elected United
States Senator from Tennessee. There
is some doubt about it, however, and
A. J. has not got sure thing.

WATER WoRKs.-Mr. Semonin, on
Wednesday evening, at the meeting of
the City Council, alluded briefly to
the great need of Water Works in the
city, but as the subject was brought
up at late hour no discussion was
elected. Mr.. Semonin was undoubt-
edly right. Evansville does need
Water Works very badly. But they
will cost $250,000, perhaps, and the
great question is how could the money
be raised? We incline to the opinion
that if the Council would give less at
tention to small natters-llke a bill
for $27a for filing a lot belong
ing to Henry Cook, that was deba-
ted for almost half an hour-and
devote more attention to matters Of
more vital interest, such as water
works, ETC., they might be able to &C
complish something that would cause
them to be remembered in the future
as great public benefaetors. 1t is
probable that it will be impossible to
do anything in the matter the present
season, but our city is rapidly grow
ing, and our municipal authorities
must look out for the future, so that
we may be prepared to act when an
opportunity. offers. In Louisville
they have a water works company, and
we believe it would pay some of our
capitalists 10 take hold of this mat
ter aud build water works for this
city. We know this matter has been
