'rHE EVENING NEWS.

OPERA House. MELoDEoS.-Lew Rat.
tiers benefit last evening was well
attended, the house being crowded in
every part, and a very excellent enter
tainmsnt was given. The FIRST part was
rich with song and wit, and the inter-
luds pieces and delineations were all
very good. Miss Maggie Moore sang
"Salut a Ia France" in n spirited,
tasteful manner, and was deservedly
applauded. In response to the loud
encore she recited the Shenandoah
Valley" most excellently. Her dress
was that of the French Vivandiere, and
was about rs neat and pretty as any we
have yet seen. The Chinese dance by
the Pixley Sisters and Blanche and
Estelle was q decidedly l~aughable affair,
aud the glove contest between n couple
of fancy females (Rattlsr and Burbank)
was whimsical in the extreme. The
vocal duet by the Pixley Sisters, and
Add Viewers comic Dutch songs, were
we'll received and applauded. Viewers
burlesque rendition of Glove Among
the Roses is one of the best things We
have heard or seen for many a day.
The concluding piece Was carried
through ~splendidly. This evening a
similar good bill will be presented, and
as next Wednesday the melodeon closes,
our play-goers had better improve the
opportunity. They will not see as good
a company again very soon.
A USELESS OEDISANcE.-The ordin-
auce passed by the Virginia Board Of
Aldermen, some years since, prohibiting
houses of prostitution in that city, west
of D street, seems to have become a
dead letter, judging from appearances,
at least one Alderman that we know OF
having violated said ordnance by rent
lug a houss to prostitutes. 1t is n
rough new coat for him TO receive,
but he must wear il without grumbling.
Chief Of Police Downey, as an efficient
officer, has done what be could TO put
the ordinance in force and purify south
@ street from its low cribs and dens of
iuiquity, and has within the last few
days made several arrests, but failing TO
convict in all the most important cases
no very properly refuses to make any
more arrests. He is right. The present
Board Of Aldermen should repeal that
useless ordinance forthwith and pass
one which will reach those who rent
houses Of prostitution, and are therefore
greater offenders than the prostitutes
themselves, or else let the old ordln-
ance stand repealed, and so allow ten
ants Of those bad houses an equal privi-
lege with those they rent the houses
from. Give all hands II fair show, the
weak AS well rs the strong.

Inns, q prisoner confined in the county

Yesterday afternoon. The prisoners
were let out Of their cells temporarily, in
order to assist ia piling up q lot OF
wood which WAS being taken into the
Jail, and Collins watching his opPortu-
nifty dashed out past the officer, into the
street. Sheriff Cummings, however,
followed close a. his heels, aud near the
corner Of B aud Taylor streets, with the
assistance Of citizens, succeeded in re-
capturing him and took him back 10 his
