good as either Of these; in fact, it is not worth
mentioning; but as it is only meant to be the
pretext for the introduction of songs and dances,
and comic business generally, its dramatic moth
ingness is Of little consequence 80 long as the
chief object is realized. John Allen, Little Mac,
and Alice Harrison attend to this part Of it, and
the combination is strong one of the kind. In
his dialect songs and character dances, Mr. Allen
is extremely proficient, and he is well supported
by Miss Harrison, 8 sprightry little lady with
charming voice and manner Of the Lotta stamp,
and very clever with her feet. The concert-room
scene is really excellent, and evidently affords
much satisfaction to the audience, Judging from
the number Of encores.

The hilarious philade]phian known as Laugh
ing Bill" whose cachinnatory. gifts have gained
him vide celebrity, and rendered him terror
to all the theatrical managers who have ever
been afflicted With his patronage, would evident
1y find his most pronfsng field for attaining
usefulness and popularity in France: In Paris
professional laughers OF ability find ready
engagements at the music halls, where
they are scattered among the audiences
to lead the laugh at all comic passages, and by
the contagious influence of their simulated
mirth evoke demonstrations Of merriment on
the slightest provocation. In this profession,
however as in 81 others, strict attention to duty
is required in order to attain success, an Incl
dent which occurred recently in . cafe chantnnt
in the Champs Elysees forcibly illustrates. One
Of the professional laughers employed at that
establishment permitted himself to fall into
doze, and, on suddenly awaking, found, as he
thought, that the performances had arrived at 8
stage where his services we're imperatively re-
quired, whereupon be Immediately worked him
self into q most e1cruciating fit of laughter.
The na1t instant he found himself upon his
back, with about hundred infuriated French
men dancing over his proBtrate body. The un-
fortunate man had mistaken his cue, and had
burst out in the midst Of a touching couplet
about Alsaca and Lorraine.

HOMEWARD BOUND.

Complimentary Entertainment rendered MIR.
John Mahony Lust Evening, Previous to His
Departure To-Day TOR Ireland.
Last evening large number Of the friends Of
Mr.. John Mahony, who has been in this country
the past six years (the greater part Of which
time he spent in Chicago), entertained him to q
splendid supper, previous to his departure to-
day for Newport, County Mayo, Ireland Over
forty persons sat down to supper, which, having
been done ample justice to, several appropriate
toastB we're proposed.
A1r. Francis Mc11ahon in suitable terms, and
in most Complimentary manner, asked the
company to drink the health Of Mr. Mahony,
and concluded by Wishing him safe and speedy
voyage across the Atlantic.
Mr. Mahony responded in vigorous straln,
and his observations elected loud applause.
Mr. Ioseph O'Connor, in happy speech, gaTo
the toast: "The Union Of Irishmen in Ameri-
duly honored.
1t the request Of all preaent, Mr. Leland
Landers took the floor, and recited, with &c
cnracy and taste, those beautiful poeticai pieces
'sHenry of Navarro" and 'The Raven"
Several other gentlemen also contributed,
by speeches and recitations, to make the enter
tainment doubly entertaining, after which Mr.
P. a. Tansey Gate Of the Gdlacay Vlndacator,
Absent Friends" In his remarks, Mr. Tansey
dwelt particularly On his connection With Mayo
(while assistant deitor and reporter Oh The
telegraph, and said that1-no matter how vide
ly he might be separated from that fine old
county-he would always cherish, with al ar
dent affection, the memory Of the many pleasant
days he spent in it, and the recollection Of the
many warm-hearted and kind friends whose ac-
quaintance he contracted there. He, too, sin
cerely wished Afr. Mahony a safe and speedy
voyage, and he trusted that when he: e:mingled
once again with the companions OF h1s earlier
days, be would not forget his Chicago friends,
nor omit remembering them to those they know
(and whom they 80 often think of in the Old
Land.
Songs then became the order Of the evening"
and all who could at all sing were induced to
sing. 11r. Hogan, with much taste, sang "Oh,
would were a bird,' etc. Alr. MacMahon rem
dered IN excellent style that exquisite ballad,
"And doth not q meeting like this make
amends ?" Mr. O'Connor sang Longfellow's
best, viz: IT stood on the bridge" and also
.sshe wore q wreath OF roses." Mr. Landers
sang 'sHer bright smile haunts me still" and
s'The Irish jaunting car" Mr.: Tansey sang
s'The Home Of my .Fatherland," " Flow on,
thou shining river, y '' God bless the friends We
love, ,""I cannot sing. the old songs,r 1.-The
Danube River" and ssBeautifu Isle OF the sea: :"
A number Of other songs having been rendered,
and all present having spent a most agreeable
evening, the company separated at pretty ad-
vanced hour. all wishing mr. Mahony pleasant
trip over Neptune's territory.

ALarge Audience Mt the Union Park Cougre-
gntfonal Church Last Evening---Points of
the Lecture which Most Pleased the West
Siders.
There VAS anow On the ground and frost in
the airlsst night, and yet there was large au-
dience at the Union Park Church to hear the
lecture by josh Billings, touching the ways and
fashions OF the cock1oach, ETC., and to see g man
who did not spell well, and was not ashamed Of
it. There are many bad spoilers in Chicago, and
they turned ont last night to see their cham
pion.
The lecture in question, which was listened to
with exemplary attention, interrupted by much
tittering, frequent laughter, and occasional
frantic applause, touched in rapid succession
upon cockroaches, game cocks, kisses, angle
worms, meadow mo1es, etc., and approached
more closely to comic natural history than
anything else, except it be Josh Billings comic
almanac. Had the lecturer prefaced each dis
tinct snbject with "January," February"
etc. theresemblance would have been perfect,
and the audience would have at once known
what they were isteningto.
Many Of the sayings Of the lecturer would
have been much better received or appreciated
if they had been presented in their usual garb Of
bad spelling. Most people take in the humor Of
ear Many an individual has sat through Po-
cahontas and never seen q joke; it allowed to
read the play he would see hundred. Those
observations which were the best often passed
utterly unnoticed, there WAS no time to work
them out.
4 lecture Of this sort, covering go many
points, affords one On opportunity Of learning
something about an audience, By noticing what
they most ferVent1y applaud. -Four things
were especially cheered, and with those four
things the people present must have been fa-
mliar,-al references to feas, references to In
eectB which do infect the head, references to
kissing, and references to paper collars. It ls,
therefore, to be assumed that these things do
chiefly abound in the West Division.
While the lecture last night Was very amusing
and all that, and pleased the citizens Of the
West Side immensely, and added greatly to the
popularity OF the lecturer, yet all that is feeting
all bound to fade. Soon after this lecture has
admission,-the comic almanac will appear.
Those who heard the lecturer will buy it, and
they will find it is chiefly made up OF old lec-
lures, and will become as irritated at Mr. Bill
ings as they would at . conductor who succeeds
In collecting two fares for the same journey.
This will be pecuniary success on the part OF
1r. Billings, but it will not increase greatly the
stock Of happiness in the United States, for ey-
ery one will be swearing he has been cheated.
Last night, however, everything vas lovely.
The managers of the course were satisfied with
the receipts the lecturer with his reception, and
the audience with what they heard, for while
there we're notmany things which greatly pleased
all. vet there WAS something which pleased each,
for such lecture ia like dinner made up OF
ecraps and fragments, and bones With little
meat on thern where each guest can find some
thing which suits his taste.

To this letter Mr. Cobb made reply that the

could not injure him, and 80 forth. Since that
date he has been approached score Of times,
By various persons, and called upon to come to

DAY afternoon, last appeal was made to Nfr.
Cobb, and the other officers Of the company, to
come to terms
In justice to the gentlemen whose names we're
appended to the list of stockholders Mr. David

engrossment have openly declared WAT; 1hey
take it for granted that the Mayor Will veto II,
but are confident that they can muster enough
(two-thirds of all the Aldermen present. to pass
it over his veto.
A reporter yesterday endeaTored to extract
from the Mayor his views concerning the sub
ject. He said, in substance, that he was much
surprised to find West Side Aldermen voting for
an ordinance which gave their constituents no
advantage. The West Side Company furnished
gas at nearly dollar thousand feet higher
rates than did the South Side Company; and
West Side consumers we're debarred from the
advantages OF competition, supposing this Com

For his part be could not understand
it. As the latter remark Was accompanied with
one OF his knowing looks, it may be supposed
that he does understand it very thoroughly, and
is fully prepared to make himself pretty dis
tinctly understood.

the ordinance in its present shape. He replied
