PIpER's OPERA HousE A very np.
p~reciative Monday evening audience
greeted the Howsous last night. ga
Kiss in the Dark" was very effectively
and agreeably given, aud We could see
nothing Objectionable abou. il. The
sweet ballads sung by the charming
Howsou sisters in the interlude were re-
ceived with universal APPRECIATION.
Aladdin, or the Wonderful Scamp
was given as the a~ftcrpiecc, and passed
Off very satisfactorily in all respects,
The Slave Of the Lamp did not blUnder
this time in the least, but came right
square up to the scratch, redeeming
himself triumphantly from the obl0quy
Of his laundering ~personation of SntUr-
day evening, which, after all, WAS caused
only By n little "stagc fright" conSe-
Queut upon his short experience rs an
actor. This evening, for the last time,
OGenbSch's greatest and best comic OPP
era, entitled La Gr,nIe DuchesSe dc
Gerolstcin," will be presented with all
the original music, vocal melody, chn-
ruses, gorgeous costumes, scenery, stage
effects, etc. Recollect that tomorrow
evening will be the very last appearance
and farewell benefit Of the Howsors,
therefore all lovers Of the amusing,
pleasing and beautiful in comedy or
drama will embrace the opportunity to
20 and see the "Grande DuchcsSc,' and
hear that glorious ballad "The Sabre OF
my Sire" In addition 70 the other en-
tertainment tomorrow evening, Miss
Celia HowSon will appear in the popu-
lar character Of "Nan, the Good for
Nothing"
Our PAsrUREs Along the banks Of
the rivers, creeks aud ~rnviues are some
very excellent pasture lands within TIE
borders of this State, but few strangers
gazing upon the barren looking sage
brush covered hillsides about Gold Hill
or Virginia. would consider i, good pas
ture land. Well, it is not exactly ricn
clover fields, but any diligeut animal
that does not get discouraged too soon
may thrive and do well IL they try.
Sheep, for instance, get along admira-
bly,. They browse on the stray weeds
and spears Of grass, the blossoms and
twigs of the wild peach, mauzaniia, and
other shrubs, aud during the spring and
summer keep in good condition. Horses
find n broad green leaf Of which they
are very fond, belonging to II plant
which bears II large yellow Hover.
They also feed on the scattered tufts Of
nutritious bunch grass, and nibble Mt
various other vegetable productions.
Cows, also, find what the horse does,
and also browse on the Wild peach and
various other shrubs readily recognized
AS eatable by the eye of any experienced
COW. By industrious and judictous
skirmishing and working in a little sage
brush on u pinch, they manage 10 get
q very respectable living, and yield II
fair quantity of milk for the bcnctt OF
the human race. There are u great deal
worse pastures in the world thar the
sage brush hills Of Nevada.
Fox.rlRE FoREwARSISG.-The Enter
prise OF Sunday morning grves II graphic
description of II big blaze of red fire,
about us big as Il H~our-barrel, which
appeared at that place, and was seen oy
two men who were wandering about the
streets ut the unreasonable hour Of .
o'clock the morning before. Now, we
inst believe that |" burning meteor was
tall in their eye" and the effects OF
lightning whisky, or else 1t was II blaze
from somebody's s~tovepipc. II there
was anything supernatural about II, thlS
was simply a forewarning OF what they
will catch in the other world II they
don't go-to bed earlier. 1t might,
however, have been some stray olish0ot
from the Gold Hill volcano.
MAY SHowERs.-Gold Hill, Virginia
and this section Of country, especially
10 the eastward, was visited by n very
lively and refreshing shower of rain just
before sunset last evening, accompanied
BY sharp lightning aud heavy thunder,
which had the effect to lay the dust
finely, and purify the air This fore
noon we had one or two more OF these
acceptable showers, with II fair pros
meet of a continuance. No one here
abouts objects to such ~seNsonabie anc
reasonable weather demonstrations
even though it be at the risk of cncour
aging the smallpox q little.
