Pliers OPERA doUsE-HERR-
MANS.-Ths wonderful Prestidigits-
teur succeeded Last evening, as usual,
in sending his entire audience home in
a desperately perplexed state Of mind,
not a soul being able to give a respect
able guess at how this plain unassum-
ing man does such strange and almost
supernatural things right before their
very eyes. As to that matter we have
heard more than one individual remark
in all seriousness that Hermann has
sold himself to the devil, and there
fore does all these things with the di-
rect assistance Of his sulphurous mas
ter. He certainly has no visible as
sistance, and no machinery or para
phernalia except what he borrows from
the audience in the way Of plug hats,
handkerchiefs, etc. In this respect he
distances Heller, and leaves Hartz
anything but trumps, performing all
his inexplicable tricks BY pure slight
of hand. What he did last evening was
enough to keep all who saw him, in a
brown study for a week, but he has an
even more wonderful programme laid
out for tonight. By all means 90 and
see by far the greatest and best magi-
clan of the age, tonight.
STRONG HNr TO TAx-rAYERs.-The
great difference in the cost Of conduct
ing municipal affairs, between aGe-
publican and q Democratic admlnistra-
ton, is very significantly exeInplified
in the case of our neighboring city,
Virginia. The city records show that
the actual expense OF the city govern
meut during the fiscal year ending last
month, was $24,505 Oh against $37.-
6l2 IS, the expense of the year previ-
GUS. This exhibits a reduction or say-
ing of $l3, l07 81 under the Republican
rule. No one a complain Of the
perfect efficiency Of this last city adj
ministration as compared with that OF
the year previous. We certainly hope
our Virginia neighbors will be as for
tunate In their selection of municipal
officers rs they were last year-elect-
ing as good men to fill the various city
offices as the present incumbents. Tax
PAYERS are the ones most interested III
the matter, and 1t will certainly pay
them we'll to consider the points above
presented.
The ALEXANDRIA This evening a,
grand attraction will be presented at
this popular place Of amusement, cnti-
tied 1.-The Slaves Of the Harem," Il
beautiful sensational Turkish eStraVa-
ganza. 1t has been prepared regard
less of expense, with gorgeous scenery,
dresses, mechanical effects, etc, and
will be given in most acceptable style
tonight. Besides this new attraction,
a choice bill Of musichal, terpsichorean
and dramatic varieties will be given,
vet as usual there will be no extra
charge for reserved seats. If you want
to have n good time, go to the Alham-
bra.
VIRGINIA CITY PRIMARIES.-The Re
publican primaries for nomination Of
city officers, are progressing quietly at
Virginia to-day. The story that Billy
Bird and Sam Wagner have the best
of the thing Is 4 hoax. The following
will doubtless be nominated, from the
latest adyices: For Mayor, W. L.
Eaves; Chief of Police, George Dow
ney; City Assessor, Il. X. Bennett ;
City Treasurer, Henry Piper.
