PIpER's OPERA HoUsE.-TAe Bride


Piers OPERA HoUsE.-The Bride
Of Lammermoor was performed last
evening, to the universal satisfaction Of
the entire audience. Owing to Miss
Sue Robinson being taken unfortu-
nately i'll, Mrs. Ellie Wilton was called
upon at a late hour-just before the
curtain arose-to take her part, and
although so very limited time was
given her to prepare for 1t, she sus-
tained the impersonation Of "Lucy
Ashton :" in q most correct and admira-
BILE manner. Mr.. Cathcart's rendition
Of Edgar Ravenswood" was also
very excellent and impressive, and the
balance of the cast WIS well sustained.
Mrs. Wilton next recited "Shamus
O'Brien," and was most ~deservedly
applauded. 1t was a very creditable
recitation indeed. The laughable COM
edy Of 4 Dead Shot concluded the en-
tertainment. This evening the popu-
lar emotional standard French play, by
Alexandra Dumas, entitled Camille, or
the Fate Of a C0qustte, will be given,
with Miss Sue Robinson as Camille"
and Pierpont Thayer as "Armand
Duval," supported by an excellent
cast. The present dramatic season
closes ut the Opera House on Sunday
evening. Our theatre-goers will please
bear this in mind, if they would i'm
prove the present opportunity.
INELIanLE.-Our Dan, in the Enter
prise of this morning, speaking Of the
"campoody" of Red Men organized
at Virginia, says: at appears to be
a purely benevolent INSTITUTIONAL
least we notice that all who join the
Tribe here are men of purely benevo-
lent proclivitieS. A bald-headed man
however benevolent he may be
cannot become n Red Man. Hair Is Of
the utmost importance, and no man
can Join the Tribe who has not a scalp
that can be taken. They scalp all
apostates. The first thing done by the
Examining Committee when a man
applies for initiation Is to take the ap-
plicant by the scalp-lock and lift him
some three feet from the floor. Wigs
are no 60" If such Is the case, we
would like to know how Henry Piper
came to be admitted rs a member,
without any scalp-lock at all. The
wig proposition lets Dan out entirely;
he a never join.
GONE WITH HER The
young Jewish girl about whom there
has been so much contention for n few
days past, at Virginia, left on the out
going stage for Reno with her father,
ut 6 o'clock, Ell route for California.
1t will bc recollected that she has been
for some years past at the Asylum OF
the Sisters of Charity. at Virginia, but
recently her father claimed her, aud,
finally, upon proper proofs and her
expressed preference to 60 with her
father, it was decided in the Justices
Court yesterday that she should do SO.
When the stage left, quite a large
crowd of the Jewish population, as
well rs several Of the Catholic clergy,
gathered about the coach, creating
some little excitement. The girl,
however, persisted in her resolution to
go with her father.
WIsHFCI.-We noticed Speaker Bob
Lowery at Virginia day before yester-
day standing OH the sidewalk in front
of Collins hat store, wishfully gazing
at the fine array Of latest styles. We
asked If he expected to indulge In a
aew plug, nov that he was chief Of the
lawmakers. NO." says Bob, sorrow
fully, "don't see anything to do 1t on
now. That veto business OF the Gov
ernor knocks the devil out OF plug
FROM TIE LAND OF SUNsHINE.-At
the international Saloon, Virginia,
the Enterprise, we saw yesterday
the branch of an orange tree loaded
with ripe fruit, cut from u tree In Sac
ramento and sent here to Prof. Orn-
dorif. 1t reached here so fresh that
hardly a leaf was withered. We are
near to where the orange trees
bloom, yet there Is a great deal Of ell
mate between Us and the trees.
