That the practice of washing when dirty is
not universal may inferred from the conduct the

affairs OF the Olympic TheateT. The stage that house
has been given up since Monday OF last week the play
OF One Wife," disjonted connection OF balderiash
and vugarty which, Of course is avoided by respoctg
bic persons, and in which respectable players should be
ashamed to appear. The character OF this drama
pointed out Miss Charlotte Thompson pro-
duced It, and hoped that the lady would have tho
