SMOKING N THE THEArRE.-It

SMOKING IN THE THEATRE.-It cer-
tainly Is a very great nuisance to
ladies and gentlemen sitting in the
dress circle at Piper's Opera House to
have those thoughtless, inconsiderate
men and boys smoking their pipes and
cigars in the parquette below. The
greater portion Of that filthy, strong
tobacco smoke rises directly up into
the dress circle, greatly to the disgust
of all sitting there-tho ladies espe-
cially. From time to time we have
written items on the subject, appealing
to the sense Of propriety and decency
those parouette-smokers ought to pos
sess; and although it evidently ope-
rated as o check upon them, yet there
was an evil contrary influence operat-
ing against US which We could not I'M
derstand until We read yesterdays
Enterprise. Therein our wicked 'tlocal'
contemporary, Dan, comes out with a
fierce and lengthy diatrioe agaiasts
those parquette %nulsances, and DELHI
erately owns up to having been II OF
them all the time. He says: "We
plead guilty to having gone into that
part Of the theatre nightly to smoke
while looking ut the play, not dream
ing that we were inconveniencing
Others whose rights were equal to our
own, but we will do so no more, and
hope to see smoking abolished there"
Now this acknowledgment on the part
of Dan Is the most coolly discouraging
Circumstance Of all. Had we known
that he was there all the time with that
internal old volcano of q meerschaum
he always smokes, with his clouds OF
suffocating smoke, viciously aiding aud
abetting instead Of abating all those
other nuisances, we should forthwith
have gone down and broken his head.
But enough; the magnanimouS De
Ouille has at last come to a realizing
sense of his W deprayity, and re-
formed. He escheweth tobacco in the
parquetts, and smoketh 1t there no
more. 'ris well.
