PIPER's OPERA HoUsE.-GRAND RE-
OPENING To-NIGnr.-This evening, af-
ter a brief season of closed doors, the
Opera House re-opens under the most
brilliant auspices, with the famous
New York Gazette Groupe of Special
ties, from Maguire's Opera House, San
Francisco, comprising n varied and
high degree OF talent, such as has
never been equaled in that line OIL any
any stage in this section. The Her
nandez troupe. Dick Carroll and SONS,
Professor Sylvester, Miss Angelique
Schott, Miss Marie Gaugain, and the
balance of the company, will appear
in a varied, pleasing and most inter
esting entertainment, full particulars
OF which will be seen by reference to
distributed programmes. There will
be magical and mechanical illusions,
choice Us well rs strange and peculiar
music. fine comic singing, eXtrlordi-
nary dancing, and in fact a series OF
great specialtieS such us have never
been seen combined in one company.
Over half the seats in the dress circle
were engaged last evening and this
horning, and the chances are particu-
larry good that the Opera House will
contain Il fashionable, rs well as
densely crowded, audience tonight.
There is no extra charge for reserved
seats, neither is there any increase in
the rates of admission. All who have
not already secured seats had better go
early lest they might be crowded out.
SOMETHING BEAUTITUI--We were
present ut the rehearsal of the Gazette
Groupe ut Piper's Opera House just
before noon to-day, and saw Miss An
Sciique Schott, by the direction and
assistance of Prof. Sylvester, perform
her marvellous suspension act, or Mo-
lammcdan mystery. The theatre was
darkencd for the purpose, and the feat
performed in the the brilliant glare of
Il powerful calcium light. The feat Is
very beautiful. and one which we did
not hear satisfactorily explained by
any II present. After being appar-
emily mcSmerized and placed under
the Influence of chloroform by Prof.
Sylvester, the lady Is, after 4 few pre-
liminary arrangements, made to ap-
pear floating in mid-air without any
adequate support of any kind aud in n
deep sleep. She is made to assume 4
variety Of beautiful positions, repre-
SentirS several picturesque characters.
No hanging wires support her, and
We are Of the opinion that she either
rcpoSeS oil her w dignity or else Is
held up by those strong rays from the
calcium light. Anyhow our gucsses i'll
the matter are as good rs anybOdy's.
This wonderful feat will be performed
tonight. and persons from the audi
cncc will DC invited upon the stage in
order to closely examine and see that
there is no Acknowledgements init.
GOLD HILL JUDICIARY.-Our local
Police Judge, Putnam, believes all law
IS founded on justice and common
sense; therefore his rulings are gener-
ally soumd, sensible and of 4 highly
practical order, quite disgusting at
times to hitalutin folk, and lawyers
who want 10 spread themselves when
they think they have u show. The
other day an aspiring young limb of
the law, after having been snubbed
more or less by his Honor, arose once
more 10 the contest, and, taking 4 por-
drrouS volume from the top OF 4 big
pie he had brought IN, he opened it
with. "Eour Honor, in support OF my
argument | will now read from
Mr.. Attorney" exclaimed his Honor,
demmrimg, with judicial dignity illu-
minating his clear eye, "arc you
going to try and read that this
Court is wrong? DO you presume to
demonstrate that .All right your
Honor. | paSs," said the subducd at
torncy taking his seat, still gazing
wistfully 1T the large pile Of
books that he had packed under
his arm all the way from Viz
gimia. 1t WAS well that lie stopped,
Tor next thing he would have been
fined for contempt in bringing Il lot of
books there. rs IN i~nSinuation that the
Court didn't know law.
OLYMrIC VAmETlES.-A well pleased
and enthusiastic audience attended this
festive little theatre last evening. and
all the good songs, dances, character
acts and general d~clincations were
much app;audcd. Barnwell, the fine
tenor was in excellent voice, and Miss
Lila Fisk made Il decided hit in "Cham-
ragne Charlie :" Johnny De Angels
and the rest of the company succeeded
admirably in keeping the audience
highly amused. Another choice aud
varied bill for tonight. New attrac-
tioas are being constantly devised, and
a large green-room, dreSsing-rooms,
etc. are being constructed ut the west
side of the theatre, in the basement Of
the Collins House.
HAMBURG Ciior IIoUsE.-When you
are at Virginia and want a good square
meal, done up just right to suit you,
call ut the Hamburg Chop House, kept
