TuE GREAr OpEnArro ArrrAc1IoS.-


Troupe, who appear at Piper's Opera
Housc, on Monday, Tuesday, and
"Wednesday, January 10th, 1lth and
12th-positively for only those three
nights, as that is the term of their en-
Sagement. Their fame in the East,
and also in California, where they are
now achieving such brilliant success,
precedes them here, and our numerous
and critically ap~preciative lovers Of
true tasteful music and the grand legit-
innate opera, may well anticipate q
great treat in that line. The troupe
Is a full and complete II and will
render those three fine operas: .sDon
PasGuale," the BARBER of Seville"
and Martha" in the perfection of
good style and effect. No regular
opera troupe has ever appeared in this
section. Parepa Rosa only gave con-
cert entertainments, with operate eX-
tracts, ballads, etc, and the Howsons
gave simply the burlesque opera, there
fore as we said before, the Brignolfs
will be the first legitimate opera troupe
ever visiting this section. The eN-
pense Of this troupe is, of course, very
great, hence manager Piper will have
TO figure close and be well supported,
In order to come ont even. lie will
open the box sheet for the reserving Of
season tickets on Friday next, ut 10
o'clock A. NJ. The first applicants will,
of course, have the best choice.
BRER.-We have just received q
hasry note from the aforesaid, out at
White Pine. He was honoring Hamil-
ton with bis august presence, but the
place was getting too contracted, and
he would leave in 4 day or two for
Eureka District, where there Is more
room for his feet and to stretch his long
legs. He has just had a cleanup OF
the chloride accumulated between his
toes, and it PANIED ont at the rate of
$1,000 to the ton-pretty good for 4
four months run of that delicate little
two-stamp battery it would pay to
cleanup oftencr. lie says he only
dresses to suit his peculiar style OF
beauty, and talks of starting q mission
airy station among the Shoshones at
Eureka. As to pocket coin he has q
couple of lodges out there which mill
$40 to the ton right straight along,
but hopes to strike something better
o lie speaks very highly of Kern
District, and hints about having 4 big
thing" out there-but then Brier al
ways did have q big thing. He pro-
poses marrying soon, and sends his
love and respects TO all his female and
male friends in this section.
JOHNNY TuoMrsoN's MINsrEEIs.-
Owing in a great measure to the still
prevalent earthquakes. and the Ma
sonic ball at Athletic Hall there
was not so good an attendance at the
Opera House as might have been de-
sired, nevertheless Il very good per-
formance was given. That champion
clog dance of Henri Stuart is hard to
beat, and the comicaiitieS of Childs
and Lindsay are lauShable in the C.
IRENE. The PiXlcy Sisters have joined
the troupe, and appear nightly in IA
yorite ballads duets and character
acts, and rs for Johnny Thompson,
those who have not witnessed him in
his great net Of the Lively Moke,"
should not fail to do so ut the first OPP
portunity. He plays upon all the diff
fcrent instruments he can find, one
after the other, and, we doubt not could
play them all ut once should he taxi 4
notion to. dancing a double clog horn
pipe at the anne time: his musical n
terpsichorean versatility is truly won
derful. His banjo performance, with
bell chime imitation, is alone worth
the price of admission. Another choice
bill for tonight. Go and sec the
Lively Moke."
"AcRoss TIE CoNTINEN Mr.. Del
evan, the deaf mute artist, now in this
section. who has been for several
months past engaged all along the line
of the continental railroad. taking
views for the great panorama entitled
:. Across the Contiaent," will COM
mence his labors about Gold Hill i'll !
dav or two. A view of this town. 6
by 90 feet in size, will be included in
the panorama, also 4 special street
view, 6 by Is feet. He also proposes
to include n few special views of prin-
cipal business houses, etc. The pano-
rama is being painted at Omaha, and
will be completed next spring. wneh
it will be started on an exhibition
tom across the continent. 1t Is oeinS
executed under the auspices n pat,
rona"e of the railroad companies, apd
will constitute a good advertisement
of their great road, rs well As the Won
derful country it passes through.
DIRECTION OF THE VIBRATIONS
According to opinion of the most OBJ
servant and %judgmatical persons with
whom we have conversed, rs well as
from our own observations, the ribrl-
lions of the heavy earthquake shock
at 6 o'clock evening before last, were
in a northerly and southerly direction.
They may have inclined = little to the
east and west, but not much; from
south to north comes near enough 20
the actual direction. Deputy Sheriff
Gnccy, who was standing in the door
way Of the Court House, on Il street,
Virginia, informed us that with the
first shake came n sudden conclusion
or electric rush of atmosphere past
him, apparently from the southwark,
and the rocking or vibrations appeared
to him to be about north and south.
EVERYBODY CooL.-It is quite anus
ING to hear everybody relate their W
personal experience of the recent
earthUuake. and especially to hear
them tell how particularly cool they
We're. Very few tell of being terribly
friohtencd-oh. no; but they go ON to
incidentally mention how they knew
r;sht off that twas nothing but an
aartbo,akc, and the reason why they
ran ont in the street was to notiee
which way the vibrations went. ON;
certainly not; they were too well
Nosted In these little shaky arrange
ments to get scared-got used to EN-
lone 400. 1t was Timson that was the
scared man. and only Flora Mcflimsey
that got frightened.
A New DROP CuRTMN.-Manager
piper has retained the services OF Mr..
Charles Rogers, the fine scenic artist
attached to the California lnea.re
Company, for the purpose OF painting
n spiendid new drop curtain ior inc
Opera House. 1t will be no auyer.ls
in@ concern, but a beautiful landscape
