ARoUSp.-Our genial and talented
friend Professor Plummer lectured at
Franktown, near Washoe City, last
night, to an immense audience Of
people from the neighborhood. He
came up OH the cars from Carson this
morning, and while on the way gave
quite a "swarry'' In the baggage room
to a few select friends. The play con-
sisted of The Peasant and the Priest, the
part Of the peasant" being most ad-
mirably performed by Professor York,
and the "Priest" by Professor Plum
mer. 1t was highly entertaining, and
being perhaps the first theatrical per-
Torrance ever given on our local rail-
road Tor any other In this State(, 1t vas
highly enjoyed by those present, tho
only musical feature being q bass
fiddle. Want of time between Empire
City and Gold Hill-tho cars run very
fast between those two points coming
up-prevented the performance of an
eight act drama, which Professor York
Is now r~ehearsing. Professor Plum
mel will leave In 4 few days on n trip
through the Eastern part OF Nevada,
by way of Reno, Wadsworth, Winnie
mucca, Eureka, Austin, etc. He is a
good man."
PIPER's OPERA House. - Olirer
Tuist was very cxcellcntly performed
last evening in every respect. Mr..
Rankin's "Fagan" we certainly con-
slider q we'll conceived and rendered
impersonation, while nothing could be
better than Barry's rendering Of the
"Artful Dodger." The brutal "Bill
Sykes" and his unfortunate Nancy"
were almost too faithfully represented
by Mr.. Power and Miss Fanny Young.
Miss Maggie Moore made a decided
hit In her personation Of the good but
roughly used little boy OLIVER
She played 1t very tastefully and cor
rectly, and could hardly be excelled.
The operate duet In the iuterlude, by
Mits Blanchard and Mr.. Derby was
splendidly given, and deservedly re-
ceived full applause and an encore,
Mr.. Derby's rich tenor blending finely
with the sweet soprano Of Miss Blanch-
ard. The farce Of Oar Gal closed the
entertainment. This evening The
Hidden Hand, with a fine cast, intro
ducing Billy Emerson's great planta-
ton act entitled "Carry the News to
Mary" Tomorrow evening Is the
last, as the company goes to Carson OIL
Monday.

"BEILE OF THE BALL."-At the
ball given by the citizens Of Carson IN
honor of the retiring legislators last
night, by unanimous consent Miss Clint
Patchen, of White Pine, was declared
the "belle of the ball." She appeared
In scrambled hair principally, daisy
features, a heaving and voluptuous
em6onpofnt, Missouri tow boddlce, with
point lace In the rear, and skirts of the
narrow gauge. She looked beautiful
rs plump and ripe asa persimmon after
the sixth frost-and would make n de-
cided 'catch" after the first run Of
shad. She had fly admirers at her
feet last night.
