PEARANcE OF J.. X. Fritz"
A very unique, and in some respects
the most pleasing entertainment which
has been given in this section for
months, was given last evening at the
Opera House. j. X. Emmett made his
first appearance under a four nights
engagement, in accordance with an
nouncement, and n crowded and fash
ionable audience graced the occasion.
Emmett Is a success. He Is Just the
man our theatre-goers have been look
Ing for, and all present last evening
are glad he has come. Welcome En-
met; welcome Fritz" He touched
a sympathetic chord In the soul Of his
audience, which awaited but the touch
Of the master to awaken 1t to appre-
ciative response. Fritz, Our Cousin
German, Is most deservedly u very
popular piece, and 1t cannot fail to be
so wherever it is produced with En-
met in the title character. As q lin
guist and de~lineator, in his impersona.
ton of Fritz" he out-D Clutches the
Germans, and portrays a character Of
true humorous attractiveness, rs we'll
as domestic beauty, pleasing to the
hearts of all, Of whatever nationality.
His songs, dances and character acts
in the piece are all admirably given,
and in n refreshingly original style,
calling forth unlimited applause. AS
to his performance OH that simple little
Instrument, the mouth harmonicon, 1t
is really marvellous. We have heard
it played before, but are now satisfied
that Emmett is the only one who ever
played it right, or properly developed
the true melodic capacities Of the in
strument. He is also no mean per-
former on the banjo. All the other
principal characters in the piece were
we'll represented, Hardie appearing as
"Col. Grafton" Barry as "Adolphus
Jenkins" Cotton as "Bobbit," Miss
Sallie Hinckley rs Katrina" Miss
Fanny Young rs "Moppy," Mrs. SIM
clair rs "Mother judy" etc. La
Petite Darling appeared to excellent
advantage as little Fritz" son of the
original, especially In their song Of
Schneider, Hoe You Vas? The scenery
was also very good indeed, and well
managed, and there being no unneces-
sary drag, the piece passed of very
we'll and smoothly. 1t will be repeated
tonight, and all who miss seeing
Fritz" will miss the greatest treat
Of the season.

CRors AT Observation-Disclosures from
Esmeralda county inform the Carson
Reqister that the farmers In that sec
ton are putting In unusually large
crops, in anticipation Of good prices
for produce, consequent upon the par
tial failure of crops III California. AL
the agricultural land Of Esmeralda
county Is irrigated from living springs,
and rain or no rain, the crops will 10
well. The valleys are already looking
parched and dry, feed is getting scarce:
and soon such stock rs Is not required
on the farms will be driven to the ele-
waited meadows of the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. The clouds which hung
along the eastern horizon nearly all
day yesterday doubtless gave the valley
of Walker river a good soaking, which
will revive the grass in that locality.
