ADJUSTMENTS.

DUPREZ & BENEDICT.-A splendid au.
dience witnessed the farewell entertainment
of these famous Ministries at the Opera
House last night, and all present were kept
in excellent hunor during the entire per-
Torrance. The singing of Dumont, Smith
and Dixon was especially fine, and each of
these vocalists was loudly applauded.
DupreZ d Benedict Is is the oldest minstre,
troupe in existence, and richly deserves the
high reputation it enjoys, and the success
that has attended. The company will be
pleasantly remembered by q Nashville
public.
GRAYsoN's DRAMATIC CodPANY.-To-
night, at Masonic Hall, Mark Grayson's
Southern Circuit Dramatic Company ap-
pear in the great sensation of "The Child
Stealer," Miss Constance Jean Pierre in the
title role, supported by the beautiful Cali
fornia actress, Zoe Gayton. The company
supporting are very kindly spoken of, and
the drama itself is sufficiently attractive to
draw crowded houses. The exciting scenes
of mother seeking her own child; the dis
coyery and the atonement, are the most
thrilling portrsitures that have ever been
presented to an audience, with language
and sentiment beautifully blended to form
chsste and refined production. "The
Child Stealer" will certainly prove a sue
cess, and Mr.. Grayson's venture, in pre-
seniing frst-class dramatic company, will
be appreciated by our citizens.
The SCOUTS OF THE PLAINs.-Buffalo
Bill, Texas Jack and Wild Bill, with a full
dramatic troupe make their first appearance
in this city, at the Opera House tonight.
We predict a crowded house, as the per-
Torrance will be very novel in character,
and highly sensational.

A Card from pTat. Hnwktns.

Having understood thaiRa report has been
put in circulation that l am not eligible to
the position of Alderman, have thought
proper TO publish the following statement,
which settles the question.
JAMES NJ. HAWKINS.
At the instance OF Maj James M. Haw-
kins, l have car fully examined his title to
certain real estate on High street, In this
city, being the same on which he now re-
sides with bis family.
The matter having been in litigation some
years ago in the Chancery Court of this
county, have examined the DEGREES of that
court and of the Supreme Court in relation
thereto, as well as The deed of the former
owner.
The result is, 1 find Maj Hawkins to be
the owner of life estate in the said High
street property, as well as in large amount
Of other real estate. This is settled.
An estate for life is freehold estate, and
ths High street properly is in the Fifth
Ward, 80 that there can be no question that
Maj. Hawkins is a freeholder in The Fifth
Ward Of the city. JOHN LELLYETT,

A Snicx Communication.

A lady sends us the following communi,
cation on q subject which she seems to
thoroughly understand:
Mr.. EDITOR: l have suddenly been
seized with literary aspirations, and propose
electrifying the reading world with the bril-
liant emanations from my pen. through the
medium of your paper. As l am quite
american" in my sentiments and an ad-
vocate of "Uniens" generally, intend es-
tablishing tie reputation of your paper
through tire merits of my literary produc-
tons, for which you should be duly CRATE
full. The subject design treating first is:
SCHOOL MARMs.
School-marms SIS a class enjoy many high
and happy privileges, for which they receive
some praise, much ceDsare, and small
salary. To them it is impaired the pleas
ant duty of implanting the seeds Of knowl-
edge and virtue in minds, perhaps, already
soWn With discord, rebellion and deceit.
Should their culture choke out the evil
weeds and produce fair crop Of mental
Fl nit and flowers, a mosgre need of praise
is awarded them. But if their efforts fail
sn9 the evils prosper the censure is all theirs.
For these blessed privileges, they receive =
paltry stipend which barely furnishes them
with false hair to supply the place of their
own, which they tear out in Vexalion of
spirit.
They who have never experienced it can
not appreciate the exalted pleasure school
marin enjoys in flogging dull, refractory
pupil through the alphabet up to Euclid,
nor the amenity of swaying the rod or rule
over an assemblsge of REBEL Gus spirits for
ever on "furtive mischief bent" Let those
who deem school teaching "a noble calling
badly answered." try il FERN, and then
give their long-Winded theories with their
practice to the public, and perhaps new
lesson in charity may be conned, l admit
there are a few Gases in the desert ofs school
mistress life in which springs of loving joys
well up, but they do not render her all IN
mindful of the dreary waste through which
she must make her yearly pilgrimage. Each
day is q repetition of the preceding, the same
mOnotonous routine must be performed;
let her head ache ever so badly, Or her heart
be burdened with innumerable cares, she
must mount the rostrum, sound the tocsin
and commence the daily drill.
Should a bright, rosy, dimp-
led cherub impart thrill of
mcmentary pleasure by her well-prepared
lessons, a dull, leRden eyed mortal quenches
it by his idiotic stare snd objectionable de-
Iinouepcies. The same requests, which
can rever be granted, must be daily pre-
ferred and meet their customary denials; the
same belligerent boys must be thrashed for
defying rules, aud after all her scholastic
duties are concluded for the day, exhausted,
mentally and physically, she YEARLY wends
her way homeward, perhaps to find Others
not less Imperative awaiting her there.
Yer " her calling, though noble one, is
highly productive Of happiness and wins
Just appreciation.
From my intimate knowl edge Of the sub.
ect and the mastery manner in which L
have handed it, you may infer that l am
myself A ScHooLAARA'
