Masonic Theater.

Mr.. Johnny Thompson appeared at Ma
! sonic Hall last night to a right good house.
! and his great sensational play of "On
| Hand" was admired. To say the least of it,
| the audience was delighted, and every one
present felt repaid for the money invested.
! Our citizens have not had an opportunity
| Of knowing what wonderful person is
! Johnny Thompson, whose PRESERVATION of
the twelve distinct dialect characters of "On
Hand" is certainly done in q style at once
charming, yet natural and desirable.
His musical proficiency, pleasant manner
and facial mimiCry from a wayward youth
to an old country gentleman, are unsur-
passed by any other actor we have seen in
this city. On Hand is a play of consecu-
tive interest. and thrilling Tariety-at one
moment you are laughing at some comic
scene or amused by some ludicrous act of
Johnny, the next moment you are most
deeply affected by the sad scenes of pov-
erty, misery and care, or startled by the de-
Movement of some dark crime.
Miss Kate Estelle is also a promi-
ment and character (Lucy Harrison) in
son Hand and the case, grace and clever
style Of her person2t;on last night won fire.
quent applause.
Now that We have gifted actor aud good
troupe at the Masonic Theatre, we hope
they viii receive a liberal patronage from
an appreciative community. Son Hand" is
truly a play of most intense interest, and
viii not fail to draw large houses.

! The rendering of "Lucia" last evening
/ by the Marriott Troupe, was a decided sue.
! cess, for several reasons: the weather was
propitiOus, and gave the ladies a chance to
/ appear in their beauty adorned: in the
! second place, the beautiful Madam Bellini
/ Marriott arrived in time to act the part OF
! Lucia" and render her part with a sim
1 plicity and grace that may be sometimes
equalled but never eXCelled.
One of DOnizetti's most favorite produc-
! tons was favored with one of Nashville's
choicest audiences, and presented in a man
ner that, while shedding a luster on the
troupe, at the same time reflected pleasure
on the audience not soon to be forgotten.
In the first act Sig. Reina made the house
almost tremble with the richness and full
ness of his voice in "Cruda Funesta."
But soon came the queen of song, and in
the caVatina of Regnara mel Silenzo" es-
tablished herself in the hearts of her hear
ers. While her voice is not full in the
lower register, it is perfectly angelic in all
registers. She is the embodiment of grace
and music, very delightful combination.
The quartette, in the second act, was per-
fecJly given and well appreciated by the
audience. In this, Sig. NicOlOi participated,
with much effect.
In the last act, the "Scena" brought
forth the delicious strains of Baccei, and in
all the acts the indOmitable orchestra was
at hand. That 'Knabe piano." in the hands
Of Sig. Nicolao, fulfilled its appointed place
with more than ordinary power and sweet
ness, and, in fact, we have no hesitation in
saying that this-Opera, while it is not en-
numbered with the paraphernalia of extern
sive choruses and Orchestras, furnishes the
serene &c Ia creme' Of the Italian Opera.
We are informed that Martha will be pre-
scented tomorrow evening. This is a very
tavOrite opera with our citizens and we hope
they will show their appreciation of good
music and acting by extensively patroniz-
ing il.

Lean Year FickIeuess.

Widower b., living not a thousand miles
from Nashville, fell in love, courted and be-
came engaged to Mrs. II. Now Mrs. H.
was tickle in her affections, and conse-
Guently meeting young man from Texas,
took a liking unto him and set the time he
shoBld be hers. Both the young man and
widower b. appeared at Mrs. HIS house
the same night, armed with license and at
tended by a parson ready to tie the knot.
The confusion which ensued when the two
lovers and the purport Of their business be-
came known to each other may be imagined
The Widower being the older man, took
counsel ofhis experience, and afterremaining
in eXcruciating agony face to face with his
hated rival in the parlor he rushed up stairs,
followed by his now Mortified parsOn, who
was afraid to enterth parlOr into the ladies'
room. About this time Mrs. HIS mother,
armed with six shooter and broomstick,
appeared on the scene just as the young
man, who smelt the mice, had also come
into the room and was endeavoring to in
terrupt the ceremony. Pointing the pistol
at the young man and shaking the broom
stick FOYER the widOwer's head,
the mother of the troubled bride
ordered the wedding to so on. II went
the bride remembered her Old love for the
widower-the parson forgot his conscien-
ious scruples, saying nothing whatever
about those having objections to open their
mouth-all mouths were shuttle young
man concluded he could no longer live on
love and consequently betook himself to the
dining room where after feasting on cakes,
jellies and Jam, forgave the widower and
participated with the happy couple and in
vited guests in making the evening pass off
gently and pleasantly.

HOUSE OF REPREsENTATIvEs.

TUESDAY, March 19.-The House met at
IA, NJ, Speaker Richardson in the Chair
and sixty-eight members present.
Leave of absence was granted Mr.. Magill
on account of sickness.
| Mr.. Owens presented the credentials oil
Thomas E. Richardson, Floater from Dyer
and LauderGale, vice Linn, resigned, after
which Mr.. Richardson was sworn in.
NEW BILLS.
By Mr.. Dick: Authorizing the Governor
to appoint an agent or agents to settle
claims between the State and the United
States.
Mr.. Cliff moved to amend by including
the McMinnville and Manchester and Win
chester and Alabama roads. Adopted.
The bill as amended passed.
BY Mr.. Cliff: To enable the State Rail
road Commissioners to perfect title to the
McMinnville and Manchester railroad and
to credit the road on its purchase from the
State with whatever amount may be re-
covered by the United States in a suit
against the Company, now pending in the
United States Circuit Court at Nashville.
Passed.
Mr.. FriersOn, Chairman CT the House
Committee on Congressional ApportiOn-
ment, reported bill to redistrict the State
into Congressional districts, as agreed upon
by the joint committee on that subject.
Mr.. Frierson said that he noticed a dis
position this morning to harm onize views
which appeared almost irreconcilable yes
terday. He suggested that the bill be
passed on its first reading and recommitted
to the committee, which, he believed, would
be able to report, by tomorrow morning, a
bill likely to meet the approval of tho
House.
Mr.. Hinkle moved to reject the bill.
Mr.. Snipes said that the bill was so mani
festly unjust that he could never vote for
it. While, by its provisions, 153, 900 voters
were crowded into the 8th district, there |
would be only 1872, 900 in the 9th, and Mid |
die Tennessee would have controlling in
fuence in the 18th.
Mr.. Harris hoped that the course sug- |
gested by the chairman of the committee |
would be followed, as propositions of a /
very liberal nature had been made from the !
Middle Tennessee members this morning, |
which he thought would have a result sat
isfactory to the House.
Mr.. SnipeS complained that West Tennes- !
see stood no chance, having only two menu |
bers in the committee on the part of the |
House, while Middle Tennessee had five. If |
West Tennessee could have control Of her |
surplus west of the Tennessee river it was
all she asked.
After some rambling discussion the House |
refused to reject the bill, and it passed on \
first reading and was recommitted.

The Exposition.

Work on the Exposition Building i'm
prOvements is progressing at a rapid rate
and from present indications will be COM
pleted as early as is desirable. The Build
ing Committee has awarded the contract for
the extension of Power Hall to Messrs.
Simmons & Phillips, who will move their
shop from the Chattanooga depot to the
corner of Spruce and Broad streets, and
have better facilities for conducting their
work. The new Power Hall will be 60x70
feet, running from the rear of the present
hall towards McGavock street. The new
hall, which is contracted for in the sum of
$1,000, is to be one story high and will be
completed in two weeks ready for the re-
ception of machinery for exhibition. The
roof of the present building will soon be
completed and the new building is one of
convenience, beauty and strength. Work
on the new Power Hall will be commenced
tomorrow and the present force of carpen-
tiers and hands largely increased.
The Committee on Finance have been
actively at work soliciting subscriptions,
which having been so literally met by our
citizens, now foots up the handsome sum of
between $4,000 and $4,000.
