The THEaTEEs.-An adaptation of Herve'S
French comic opera, I" lie Petite Faust" was
brought out for the first time in America at the
National Theater last evening, by Kelly "
Icons Ministries. The plot follows the we'll
known story of DIR. Faustus and his Satanic
master, as elaborated by Goethe, at remote
distance, and contains many hits at the late
sensations in New York city, where it will be
brought ont next Monday. We think Kelly X
Leon would have done better to have worked in
Gouncds music where il was practicable, as
Herye is Ohenbach diluted. Leon !. very funny
as Marguerite. and Kelly was good as Faust:

ANNIvrRsARY MEETING.-Thc 2lst anniver-
sary OF Eagle Tent, No. 2. /. .. of Rechabites,
WAS celebrated by public temperance meeting
at Odd Fellows Hall, Navy Yard. on Wednes-
day night. The meeting was presided over by
I. B. Marche, Esq, who read the statistics OF
the Tent, showing that since its organization
there have been J,1 members initiated, Il of
whom have died and been buried by the Order;
nearly 5000 have been expended for relief to
members, and widows and orphans OF deceased
members of the Tent-shOwing that a great deal
OF good has been accomplished there by this
Tent. Addresses were also delivered By Rev.
John Lighter and w. McPheeters Esq. while
several excellent pieces of music were rendered
by Prot. r. Ii. Messer and his family. Alto
gether the meeting was a very successful one,
and will doubtless give a fresh impetus to the
temperance cause in East Washington.

Mr.. JEROMEA A. JOHNSON saws that i'm his re-
marks at the First Ward meeting, on Wednes-
day night last, he did not say that he would
have both Houses of Congress to interfere in his
behalf i'm case Hurley arrested him, but did say
THAT he would willingly 60 with committee
before the District of Columbia Committee, and
protest in behalf OF the Republicans against
Hurley's illegal action" Mr.. johnson may have
intended to say this, but our reporter is positive
that lie lJOhnsOn) was repOrted correctly
