PTrER's OrERA HoUsE.-The extra
ordinary attractions Of "Chris and
Lena" as developed BY Baker and
Farron, still continue to draw excel
lent houses, and the most staid and
fashionable ladies or gents In the CON-
mnnity sit and laugh to their hearts
content at the droll Dutch and Irish
isms and abundant whimsicaliries of
the piece. Bakers dance In the Sec
ond act, with full blooded Dutch clogs
on his feet, Is one of the most rafting
old jigs imaginable, and Tommy Far
ron's sweet, stylishly delivered songs,
and the pretty little Lena never fail
to call for plenty Of enthusiastic en-
cores every evening. Their Duets
together are also beautifully rendered.
Miss Reifarth, too, the leading lady Of
the company, appears to excellent ad-
vantage as Lucy Fuller, the unfortu-
nate yet ultimately triumphant young
lady Of the piece, aud sings a very
sweet. finely executed ballad, which Is
a great ~favorite. Harry Thompson,
Ainsley Scott, Ryman, Robinson,
Reed and others will sustain their
parts In the cast, and the scenery and
music Is all that could be asked. Go
tonight and see "Chrls and Lena
before it Is withdrawn.
A FLAGRANr IDEA.-The other even-
a fussy, consequential feeling sort Of a
chap, who came up on a freight train
from Carson to the blockaded Ameri-
can Flat tunnel, found himself too
late to get passage up to Gold Hill
or Virginia, the train having left. He
growled and fumcd around for an
hour or two, asking all sorts Of anx-
ious questions as to how he was to get
through, until Holmes. the boss OF the
work at that point, kindly told him
that the best he could possibly
do for him was to furnish him with a
flag and let him 90 ahead on loot. He
could thus alag" himself and avoid
collision with any Of the down trains.
"Why, blarst me heyes, says Johnny,
"wot's the difference between that and
walkin? Cawn't see 1t, you Know"
He stayed till next day.
