During the success of Frou- Frou Mr.. Daily
has distinguished himself in various ways, but
by none more SO than his efforts to stop the
Vaccinations of spectators For this purpose
he stationed a man outside his theatre with
directions to watch every party who entered
the theatre, and narrowly observe those who
purchased seats of those nefarious operators.
An evening so ago two gentlemen, accom-
panied by ladies. passed into the vestibule, but
observing the crowd before the box Office and
the impossibility of procuring tickets there,
one of the gentlemen approached a speculator
aud purchased four tickets at two dollars each.
Delighted with having secured some of the best
seats in the house at so cheap rate, the party
prepared to pass in, but were stopped by the
door-keeper who told them that they could not
pass.
"Fellow! do you know who am ?" exclaimed
the gentleman who had bought the tickets, and
who is remarkable for the elegance of his Lam
guage. "Im the Mayor"
81 don't care if you was the President him
self" exclaimed the door-keeper. "Mr. Daly's
orders is that no tickets bought of spectators
shall be received here. So you'd better git!" and
he gave a sly wink to the man who had brought
him the intelligence respecting the tickets
having been bought of speculators. AT this
juncture who should happen to come by but the
and debonuair as the photograph of him that
hangs at the front door of Mr.. Brady's gallery.
''Wby, my dear Mr.. Hall, what's the matter? ?
he exclaimed.
A few words sufficed to explain But the milk
in the cocoanut of the joke consists in the fact
that every morning Mr.. DAILY had repaired to
Mr.. Halls Office and begged his advice and as
sistance in regard to the matter, and that Oakley
had unqualifedly recommended him to continue
in his noble course until every speculator was
squelched from the face of the earth. The gem
tleman who accompanied Oakley to the theatre
was Recorder Hackett, who is now nearly well
from the Mcfarland trial. although still in a
weak condition.

House by special invitation. They were in full
dress and were accompanied by the regimental
band. have no objections to admit that the
affair was gala. Perhaps there was too much
gal altogether. Those modest virgins on the
stage who interpret the purties of the ballet
never danced with less dress and more abandon

opera House. livery wednesday ana saturday
afternoon such of the clerks as have done their
work are given free passes, and sit down to The
Ttcelue Temptations, which they are expected to
applaud. In fact, the clerks of Erie are the cla-
queurS of the Opera House. The notes of rehearsal
intermingle with the settlements of cash ac-
counts, and balances are made to the castanets
of the bdlerina. In short the Opera House is
nice, clean nook for q youth fresh from the
country to slip into. Mr. Fisk takes an elder
brothers interest in every young man engaged,
and will engage none but the vrtuous. His
fatherly kindness to the other sex, too, is unex-
ampled. He has never been known to do so
foul a deed as to turn his back upon beautiful
premiere, a dashing co,yphee, and any evening
he can be seen in his box beaming upon the
congregated ballet, as much as to say, "Bless We,
my children bless ye!" Oh, if there were but
more men like unto him.

had bad night in which to lecture, but his au-
dience was good. Six or seven hundred people
must have been present, and the colored inte-
rest was not so largely represented as 1t was
anticipated it would be. 1t occurred only in
sprinklings, the majority of the audience being
white. Since you are familiar with him in
Philadelphia, say nothing about the matter or
manner of his delivery, save that he was genu-
inely applauded and has been fairly treated. 1t
was worth remarking, however, that the white
people hooked together aud that the colored
ones were equally exclusive. The audience was
by no meaus miscegenative.

people who know him, of course my knowledge
of his habits and temperament is profound
They all agree that he was a nice man, only
he would go off every little while. He was a
very pleasant, harmless creature--only he did
go out of his mind sometimes. These little
drawbacks do not prevent his acquaintances
from speaking well of him, and Mrs. McFar-
lands 'true story" is severely criticised by
newspaper men not on the Tribune. The gen.
