APRIL 1sT IN RICHMoSD.-Seldom has
an All FOOLS day been 80 humorously spent
as that Of yesterday. 1t was q day OF
foolery, and one which was enjoyed by
everybody.
Those devils, the local press men, or, as
they are known, "the reporters" who
never tire of fun-msking at the expense of
people outside of the profession, gave cur
rency through their columns in the morning
that one of the Hanlons would walk the
telegraph wire from Weisiger's store across
to the telegraph Office. At about half past
10 o'clock the crowd commenced to gather
to see the great feat. Some of them really
fooled others aiding the joke. The crowd
increased and diminished until half
hour after the appointed time, when
despair was almost at its highest pitch.
But just as the stragglers who remained
were about to scatter man was seen
coming up the street bedecked in gay
colors and disguised with mask. In q
moment all was excitement, and the Dis
patch corner was the rallying point of the
town. A ladder had been placed against
the telegraph pole in front Of PoWhatan
Weisiger's hat store, and from the top
round rope had been swung. Up this
ladder the strange man went, steadily and
de,erminedly. When he reached the top he
found that it was not leng enough. He came
down, and went to Zetelie's to look for -
another one. In the mean time the
crowd had greatly increased, and
there was hardly room for one to
pass. In few moments the unknown
returned amid the cheers Of the crowd.
As he reached the ladder he got the
bows present to help him to stretch the
rope across the street. This done, he per-
formed the perilous feat of sober man
walking tight-rope across Main street, at
least forty feet below the roofs of the sur
rounding buildings, and on level with
Main street. The crowd was satisfied, and
dispersed. The question arose as to who
the strange man was. The Hanlon troupe
Management had an opportunity to take
advantage of the gratuisous advertisement
given them in the morning, but with their
characteristic bad management, as far as
Richmond is concerned, they neglected it.
The managers of the Academy of Music
were, however, sharp enough for the occa-
sion. Although they are vilifed and their
exhibitions are abused, their enterprise is
deserving. They furnished q man to do
the Hanlon, and certainly none of the COM
bination now performing at the Theatre
could have done better than he; for he
walked the tight-rope aud advertised the
benefit Of Miss Viola Clifton to-night-an
at thesame time.
The relic of ancient times at Zetelle's
was also source of much fun. Hundreds
went there during the day to see the Curl
osity, and many we're the laughs which fol-
lowed the several dissppointments. John
Johnson was annoyed to death with the Gu,
riosity-ssekers, aud while he had whole
heaps of fun, he ,sHore never again to &c
in league with newspaper man.
q The whole city was infused with the
spirit Of the day, and it is not remembered
that first of April ever passed off 80 vel
in Richmond before. -sa..r,

A RARE ENTERTAIN4ENT.-T evening
at o'clock W. So Kee, the popular young
Chinese lecturer, makes his first and only
appearance in Richmond at the Second
Baptist church.
The opportunity simply to see native Of
China in the costume Of his country, with
his long queue 70 plait of hair reaching to
his knees), his embroidered robe, his
wooden shoes, etc., would be highly appre-
ciated, especially BY the young; but when
is added to this the promise of such an en-
tertainment as We have elsewhere an
nounced, we cannot doubt that the house
will be crowded. By all means let the
children come with you. The arrangement
for " family tickets" enables father, mother,
all the children, and any other bona tids
member of the family, to attend at very
small cost.
We are requested to say that the city
pastors are respectfully invited to attend
without tickets.

by Superintendent Hayes and other par
