TIE SAKE ESTERrAISNEST.-We did
ourself the pleasure Of attending at the
Presbyterian church, Virginia, last
evening, the lecture or rather the poetic
entertainment Of John G.. SAKE, so
Justly famed among the poets Of Amer
lea. We will not attempt q lengthy
criticism, as we would not expect to do
Justice in the premises, even then. Mr..
SAKE is not the best reader we ever
listened 20, and did we not know him
to be a genuine native OF Down East,
his personal appearance, and certain
peculiarities OF speech would have IN
duced the belief that no was an Eng
lishmau. These psculiarities somewhat
marred the original beauty and effect OF
an occasional point, yet as q whole the
r~scitations were very excellent and
heartily good, the merit lying psiaci-
pally in the exquisite harmony, humor,
sparkliuc wit and true interest OF the
posms themselves. He recited hrst his
fine poetic portrayal entitled " Yankee
Land" followed BY The Press and
concluded with "The Proud Miss Nc
Bride" The church was well filled,
with one of tho most fashion
able and apprecistive audi
enees we ever saw in this
section, and the lecturer, or rather.
reader, was listened to with profound
and absorbing interest throughout; his
FIVE points Of humor and wit receiving
their just and frequent need Of applause.
This evening he gives his last reading,
the subject being the humorous poem
of "Love," and a poetic description of
the "Jardin Mabille." All who fail to
attend will miss one OF the greatest
poetic treats Of their lives.
JOIN I. GINS RETURSED.-The Inland
Empire, of Wednesday, says that John
l.. CHM, we'll known in the land Of
p~oronip, sagebrush and silver bricks,
returned yesterday from Chicago; He
is not particularly " stuck AFTER the
lake city, but says the "locals there,
a., everywhere else, are jolly good fell
Iox,. The balance of the community
belong to the Young Mems Christian
Association, which seems to have entire
control Of all matters, either social,
noli,ical or religious. They talk White
Pine pretty strong, but are rot very
anxious to invest. In fact money Is
TIGHT aud the people close. OF such IS
Chicago, according to CHM. When
John left White Pine for this visit East,
hi. friends all felt sure that OF course 1t
would result in something reasonable ;
that he would bring back at least one
wife, but alas D.! no. He comes bach the
same solitary individual, unsweasened,
unmixed, ~uudoubled simply CHM
straight.
OPERA Hous MERLoDEoy.-The laugh
able o~fterpiece, the "~Freedman's Blu
~reau," was repeated last evening. 1t is
full Of whimsical scenes and incidents,
calling forth great laughter, especially
that "hammer and block arrange
ment. The Highland Fling" of Miss
Annie Pixley was we'll executed, and the
sweet ballads aud sparkling songs OF
MAGGIE Moore were much ~applauded, as
psnsi. The first par; is brilliant with
cbo;ce vocal and instrumental music,
witticisms and humorous squios every
evening, and a finer interlude OF dances,
character acts, ballads and general fun,
can scarcely be imagined. Goes and
Rather are u whole team by themselves,
without speaking Of the queer doings o,
Billy Ashcroft, Add Weaver, Fred
Snrunr, aud the pleasing acts, dances
and delineatious Of the other pretty
GIRLS we have not mentioned. An extra
Choice hill is out for tonight, and an
other crowded house will infailibly be
the result.
