GRAND OPERA HOUSE COMPANY.


On Wednesday evening of next week
Augustin Days company from the New
York Grand Opera house will appear at
Clark's Opera house, in the sensational
play by Mr. DAILY, entitled Round the
Clock ; or New York by Dark This
play has had very successful run of
one hundred and thirty nights at the
Grand Opera house. The company in
cludes G. L. Fox, who is perhaps the
greatest comedian of the age Mr.. D.
II. Harkins, whose impersonation of the
most noted characters in 90 From From, Z"
divorce" Article H." etc, has
earned for him an extraordinary repusa-
ton, not alone in New York, but in the
principal cities throughout the Union.
Then Miss Fanny Hayward, the popu-
lar coincidence and vocalist, and Mrs.
Chas. NJ. Walcott, and others of equal
note, will also appear. The aim of the
piece we are told is not so much to il
lustrate the dangers and temptation of
metropolitan life, as to show what the
thing is we are apt to call Life" in the
city OF New York, and in this way it be-
comes picture OF the institutions of
which people hear but never see. The
play is an adaptation from the French,
which includes great d cal of variety,
and that of the sort best liked by an
audience who desire to be amused.
There are great many striking situa
tons and effects, and certainly a good
deal to laugh at. 1t is not actually ne
cessary to make more than the an
nouncement that Mr.. Augustin DAILY
will supervise the entertainment in Or
der that the Opera House may be
crowded to excess The managerial
author has many friends in this city
who will be pleased to give this COM
pany a cordial reception. Reserved
seats can be obtained at Oliver &
brakes.

BARNuM,s GREAT SHOW

On Tuesday next, October 7th, this
monster institution will visit Elizabeth,
and during the day will give three per-
formances, the first at ten a. M, the
second at one p. m. and the third at
seven p. m. 1t will be visited by thou
sands, and many that have heretofore
avoided tented shows have made up
their mind to patronize the inimitable
Barnum on Tuesday next. We copy
the following item from the Boston
Herald
"Veni, vidi, ,vici, once wrote the great
Caesar, or some other ancient old fellow,
after accomplishing big job he had I'M
dertaken And Mr.. Barnum might
quote him in message to his constitu-
ents (were he not too independent to
have any, after noting the success of
his first days campaign in Boston this
year. The great moral show has arriv-
ID in its seventy-fve railroad cars, and
is fairly settled in its temporary abiding
place on the Back Bay. Yesterday fore
noon came the great street pageant
the first ever seen in Boston. Thou
sands of citizens, both from city and
country, contributed the animation of
their presence to the scene, Just as they
have done on the Fourth of July many
time before. There are only two mo-
tive powers which can produce this pecu
liar result the first is the Fourth of
July ; and the second is the only Bar
nun.
1t is three times larger than any SINH
lar exhibition that has been here. In
quality the features are all good. There
is not one that is not worth examining.
The exhibition is divided into several
grand departments, the menagerie and
museum and the circus. In the former
there are sixty or seventy teams, cages,
or whatever else they may be called. In
forty-two of these are animals and
birds in the others, curiosities. The
collection of animals is large, the assort-
ment unusually extensive and there is
not quadruped in the collection that
doesn't look well. We cannot recall
any species of beast that we have ever
seea that cannot be found here and
there were several to which we yester-
day had the honor of an introduction
| for the first time. The performers are,
without exception, skilled in their spec
ialties. The variety of their acts is ex-
cellent ; their number is great and,
mirabile dicta, there are many novel
ties. Our readers will bear us witness
that we are not famous for putting"
shows devoid of merit and the above
may therefore be accepted as our hon
est opinion of Barnum's present enter
| prise.

THE STATE BANK INTERVIEWED.


An interview with the president of
the National State bank yesterday eve
ming with reference to q rumored defal-
cation in that institution, elected an ex-
plicit denial of the report. The presi-
dent admitted temporary embarrass-
ment on account of the difficulty in col
lecting moneys due from parties owing
the bank.
Said he: 1--WE are not paying any
large drafts, though we still continue to
settle promptly all small ones, and the
reason why we are not paying large
drafts is because we cannot get cur
rency to do it with. Parties for whom
we have discounted fail to pay us, and
that of course leaves us without funds
to pay the large drafts" The presi-
dent expressed a hope that the difficulty
would soon pass over and did not antici-
pate any irremediable disaster to the
bank.
The bank owes six thousand dollars
to the First National Bank, for which n
draft was presented last Saturday, and
it is not yet paid.

THE DAVENPORT BROTHERS.


These magicians, or mediums, or
what you will that shall express deal
ing in what suggests the thought of SUI
pernatural agency, have appeared at the
Newark opera house in two seances,
drawing large audiences. The Courier
says it appears that while similarity of
manifestation" marked the different
performances, yet variety shows itself.
For instance, the display of hands at
the curtained window Of the cabinet
was confined to a show of ladies' hands.
Not only ladies' hands appeared, but
tiny, childish hands, one of which,
welding q bell, was more like sha-
dow, coming like one and so departing,
melting into thin air, and conveying
more the idea of gbostliness than the
rest, which fitted into and out of sight
like quickly moving hands Of flesh.
And the din inside the cabinet was more
rollicking last night than the night be-
fore at Newark. Musical instruments
were pitched out at the sepulchral door.
The fineness of the trickery is such
that it would be absurd for any one to
try to explain it. The brothers don't
do these things. Is is not their hands
that WELD the bells, scrape the violin,
thrum the guitar, bang on the tambor-
inc, drum on the shell like sides of the
cabinet, put ON and take off coats, APP
pear at the window, and play pranks as
though company of Pucks were shut
up within the shell. One gentleman of
the committee chosen by the audience
on Tuesday night thought he could show
that the brothers hands were doing
these things, and the audience laughed
him to scorn. His assertions were deem
ed nonsensical. For the brothers were
tied hopelessly with ropes, and the ropes
about their wrists we're sealed with wax,
and their hands were filled with -four.
How is the thing done? That is the
puzzle for somebody wiser even than
the brothers themselves to make out,
for as near as we can learn it is n mys-
terry to them also. Last night one of
the committee, an earnest and sensible
young man, was shut up with the bro
founded. A bell had scraped down his
nose, hand had been laid on his head,
so had tamborine, the din of the in
struments and the rappings We're kept
up and all the while one of his hands
was tied to the shoulder of one brother
and the other hand was tied to the knee
of the other brother, and he, the COM
mittee man, told the audience that
neither of the brothers had stirred So
how is it done
The brothers will appear at the Opera
house tonight for the first time in Eli
zabeth, tomorrow being the last. They
have the good sense to adopt popular
prices, the admission being only fifty
cents with seat.

REV. NEWMAN HALL, we are gratified
to learn, proposes to lecture at Library
Hall on Tuesday evening next. There
are two special reasons why We are glad
this eminent orator is coming to Eliza
beth. l. He is gentleman of fine at
tainments, and those who invest fifty
cents for the privilege of hearing him
lecture, are certain to get the worth OF
their money. =. We are very glad in
deed that this distinguished divine pro-
poses to tell us what he knows about
the Dignity of Labor. Ii there is II
community in the land of the free and
the home of the brave that needs light
on this subject, the fine scholar is COM
ing to the right place, and no mistake.
There are a thousand persons in town
who have so hearty contempt for the
laborer, that they never read anything
about the worthless whose histories are
recorded in the New Testament men
who earned their daily bread by their
daily labor. On every hand are men
and women who think it disgraceful to
perform any useful work. They don't
mind sponging living at the expense of
some good natured friend or relative.
We meet tops daily who have no CAPT
tai, and follow no honest calling. When
they have no luck with cards, they beg
or borrow money of Woodworking mo-
theirs. One of the biggest swells about
town lives at the expense of his mother
in-law, worthy woman who works hard
as pack-horse. And yet this misera-
BILE specimen of humanity, and other
beauties we might name, sheer at hon
orable men who lead useful lives.

PARADE AND REVIEW IN NEWARK.

The First brigade, Brigadier General
Plume commanding, was reviewed at
Military park, Newark, at three o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Governor Parker
reviewed the command, which consisted
OF the First regiment, Colonel Peckwell,
Second regiment, Colonel Allen, Fourth
regiment, Colonel Steele, Fifth regi-
ment, Colonel Barnard, First battalion,
Major Hart, Second battalion, Major
Moore, and Battery A.
The line was formed promptly-the
commands being on the ground before
the hour appointed. The men looked
finely, and marched as we'll as usual.
The rear ranks, Except in the three rear
companies of the Fourth regiment
were not closed to the proper distance,
or anything which Appropriated to it,
and this was the most Objectionable fea-
ture of the parade. Very few of the
officers saluted correctly, while passing
the reviewing officer, and for this there
is no excuse whatever. Several officers
passed the reviewing officer, with their
swords at poise, and this looked ridi-
eulous. They should be furnished with
BLANKS, at the first opportunity
General Plume felt quite proud of his
brigade yesterday, and we congratulate
him on the marked improvement since
last parade.
The Fifth regiment-the strongest in
line, -paraded eight companies of only
twelve files each--in all numbering
about two hundred and fifty men. They
appeared in new uniforms, and made
the best show.
The First and Fourth regiments num-
bered about one hundred and thirty
men each
The Second regiment paraded with
less than hundred men-not as many
as either of the battalions.
After the review, the column parad-
ed through the principal streets, headed
by the governor and staff.
