Charley Weller to his feet, who proved
to every ones satisfaction that Repub-
lican heresy involved Noah's neigh

principles. And then l left.

which he quietly placed before the

Figaro W. tho California.
A lively dispute is at present waging
between the California Theater, on the
one hand, and little Figaro, the gra-
tuitous advertisement sheet, on the
other. Figaro is a spicily edited paper,
full Of good things and in much de-
mand, but for some reason incurred
the displeasure Of the Bush street mag
mates, and was excluded from the
house. Then the proprietors stationed
their carriers outside of the theater
door so that all who wanted could pro-
cure a copy. This gave great oifense
to the "student " and "actor yclept
Lawrence Barrett" and OH Monday
evening he was so annoyed as to forget
for the nonce the dignity Of art, and
stepping from the tragic stage I'VE
Gods, tits true) made 4 flank attack on
the small boys who were distributing
the programme. This affair created
much amusement, and the remarks
made were not very complimentary to
Roscdale."
BY the bye, / have it OIL good au-

theater will be discharged about June
or July. Emile Melville, it is said,
contemplates a London engagement.

The AvItor.
About n year ago considerable inter
est was created all over the world by
the announcement that 4 Californian
had ut length solved the difficult prob,
lem of aerial navigation. A large
model was exhibited at the Mechanics
Pavilion, and enough proved to con-
vince the most, rs well rs to confirm
the theory Of the scientific, that a
machine had been constructed capable
of moving through the air by its own
power, Of moving against the wind
and in any direction, according to the
will Of the helmsman. A company
was formed, with a capital Of $4,000,
but hard times came on and prevented
the disposal Of shares. Mr.. Marriott
(the inventory told me yesterday that
active building operations will COM
mence in about six weeks. He has In
his possession letters from the most
eminent engineers Of England, France
and Germany, and all agree that he
has made a wonderful advance In
aronautic science. So it Is not i'm
