PrpER's OPERA HoUsE-GRAND Sue
CESS OF CHANFRAU AND "kIT."-As
we anticipated yesterday, the famous
play of Kit, the Arkansas Traveller"
drew a big house last evening on the
occasion Of its first presentation.
Dress-circle, parquette, every part OF
the theatre was crowded and every
body seemed very highly pleased,
agreeing that Kit" was the best
piece put upon that stage for many
months. Chanfrau In the title charac-
ter fairly surpassed even the most san
guine expectations, his d~ellneatton
being free, easy, natural and thrilling
ly effective. Barry's Julius Gear was
decidedly a capital feature OF the occa-
sion, and he drew forth any amount OF
applause from the audience. He Is one
OF the most comical geniuses alive.
Ellie Wilton as Mary, the wife Of Kit,
succeeded admirably. The character
was we'll within the scope Of her
powers of delineation and she did JUS
tice to 1t. Billy Robinson as Judge
Suggs. Harry Sinclair as Major Squiggs,
Miss Eva West as James Temple, and
Miss Cummings rs Mrs. Stubs, all did
finely, and the new scenery was much
admired. exit" will DO repeated to-
night, and to another crowded house,
for everybody must surely sec this
famous play.
AN INDIAN SHysTER.-Ata fashlona-
Bile clearinghouse up In Virginia City a
morning or two ago, a buck Indian en-
tered and requested q meal. The ac-
commodating lady of the house
took him out into tho Kitchen ana
told him to sit down ut o side table,
which he did. She then piled before
him different eatables, such as had
been scraped from the plates Of the
boarders, which the Indian devoured
until he was fairly gorged with grub
apparently as full Is he could stick.
Getting up from his sumptuous fareS
he was about leaving without paying,
when the lady told him to fork over
"two bits" Mr.. Indian said no didn't
"sabe," and on the lady calling to a big
waiter to bounce him-as Schneider
would say-the Indian went through
the motions and sounds OF trying to
disgorge his breakfast, right then and
there, In the dining-room, and In sight
of ali tho breakfastlng boarders. But
before he had "cast up " the waiter
collared him and rushed him out at the
front door, lest there would be a house
clearing Of the regular boarders. The
Indian wasn't sick at all, and he de-
parted with not only a hearty break
fast, but also the "two bits In his
pocket. Indians are learning the bad
traits Of white bummers very fast.
This last trick is worthy Of a regular
wharf rat"
You've SMoKIsTs.-Tt was quite ANUS
ing about 8 o'clock, last evening, to
notice a lot Of little boys on G street.
Virginia, passing into the Postotlce,
one after the other, each smoking a
cigar. There was just n even dozen
of them, from six to ten years Of age,
and all but two had Russian paper
cigaritas in their mouths. The other
two were smoking pipes. All seemed
to enjoy the fun hugely.
