TEE THEATERs.-The lively, rafting per
Torrance of Ofienbach's comic opera ''Les
Bavards" by the Oates troupe last night,
demonstrated one thing very clearly, and that
-, that IL can no longer be said none but a
French company can properly perform opera
boufe. The acting and singing Of each mem
Der OF the troupe was fully up TO the require
such a spirited way that the laughter of the
audience often drowned the words of the peopIe
on the stage. Mrs. Oates made a dashing GRO
land" Crane was, OF course, good as "Sar-
nientO, and Allen a fair "AIca5e, Miss Lar
kelle was charming a. s'Inez," MIR WoOd6eld
very funny as Beatrice" the chattering wife
and Jones, IN make mp and acting, was conf
cal as the clerk. Nothing more comical has
been seen here this winter. Altogether the per-
Torrance was the best vet given by the com
Iany, and II is TO be hoped Lies Bavards'' will
be repeated The company is not a burlesque
troupe, as some suppose, but their operate por-
tormances are more diverting Tonight, "The

Washington plays Oers are beginning to find
ont that ''Davy Crockett is not - that Kind of

growing larger nightly, including the refined

the good points Of the drama. AS before init

Bret HaTte's best stories will derive more
pleasure from seeing the new American plav.

the scenes exhibits unusual dramatic ability.
The female minstrel troupe is one OF the lead
ing attractions at the Theater COmiGue this
week, and IL heartily applauded. There are
other novelties too which tend to keen the
audience in good humOr. The performances
take wide range, embracing all the features of

Buckridge, dry goods clerk, residing at No.

An Ancient Scandal.

The little trouble which has of late
attracted some attention in Brooklyn,
has set the curious at work hunt
ing up parallel cases. The most
striking instance that has yet been
found is in an old book not much read
nowadays. The details are too volum-
inous fer the columns of a daily paper,
but those who will take the trouble to
read the story as set down in the
aforementioned old volume, COM
mencing at the eleventh chap
ter of III Samuel, will see that
the affair must have been a
great scandal in its day. The
principal parties to this little bit of
ancient trouble were, like those of the
Brooklyn story, two men and one
woman. Their names were DAVID, q
man of some note and position, URIAH,
the Hittite, and BATH sHEBA, the
daughter of ELAN and wife of the
Hittite. The following is the closing
chapter of DAvID'S statement, as
taken down in short hand by one Ma
THAN:
But the thing that DAVID had done dis
pleased the Lord. And the Lord sent n ATTAIN
unto DAVID. And he came unto him and
said unto h i'm: There were two men in one
city; the one rich and the other poor. The
rich man had exceeding many fiocks. But
the poor man had nothing, save one little
own lamb, which he had bought and nour-
ished up; and it grew up together with him
and with his children; it did eat of his own
meat and drank of his own cup, and it lay in
his bosom, and was to him as a daughter
And there came traveller unto the rich man /;
and he spared to take of his own flock and
of his own herd to dress for the wayfaring g
man that was come to him. And DAvIDs an
ger was greatly kindled against the man; and
he said to NATHAN, AS the Lord liveth, the
man that hath done this thing shall surely
die: And he shall restore the lamb fourfold,
because he did this thing, and because he
had no pity. And NATHAN said unto DAVID,
Thou art the man.

FRIDAY.
Growing Prosperity.

Yesterday gentleman from Illinois
purchased, through KIMBALL & BAN
CROFT, ninety acres of land adjoining
the tobacco field near the race track,
and left in the evening for his home
with the intention of returning to this
city within ninety days. He is a man
of considerable wealth, and an
nounced that he should invest his
capital in Los Angeles Valley. Both
he and friend, travelling with him,
say this is the best part of the world
they have yet seen. We are informed
that forty or fifty Illinois families will
arrive in Los Angeles Valley early in
the Fall, with view of permanently
locating here. We may safely count
on a like number of arrivals from
each of the Southern and Western
States. Several parties from the East
have been examining the hill lands
on which Mr.. BEAUDRY is now
throwing an abundant supply of water,
with view of purchasing building
lots for themselves and for friends to
arrive. They have examined the
water-works, the reservoir and the
fountain-head, and are satisfied that
the difficulty of irrigating the hill
lands has, through the energy of Mr..
BEAUDRY, been entirely removed.
This feeling of confidence in the sue
cessful watering of the high lands pre-
walls throughout the entire commun-
ity, and those owning property in that
part of the city are well satisfied with
their purchase. The owners of real
estate both in and around the city
mark decided increase in the num-
ber of buyers, and we venture the pre-
diction that there will be an average
advance of twenty per cent. in real
property in this city within the next
four months.

Political.

Watching the political cauldron is a
source of great amusement to us at all
times, and especially so at the mo-
ment when the managers begin to
touch the wires moving the puppets
that are to amuse the masses during a
campaign. In some of the States the
show is opening, and the wax figures
that are to dance until President is
elected, are being set out. AS yet, we
are favored with only rehearsals, but
from them may be learned the char
acter of the performance that it is in
tended shall run through the season.
Both of the old parties seem to realize
the Importance of making a strong
cast, and offering programme that
will be acceptable to the people. Both
are looking about for their best men,
and both are manufacturing platforms
of excellent material. The Democ-
racy of Illinois have selected and
placed in their platform few planks
which all must admit are sound.
They are as follows:
First. The restoration of gold and silver as
the basis of currency of the country, a speedy
resumption of specie payments, and the pay
ment of all the national Indebtedness in
money recognized by the civilized world.
Second. Free commerce.
Third. Individual liberty and opposition to
sumptuary laws.
Fourth. A rigid 'restriction'of the Govern
ment, both State and national, to the Iegiti-
mate domain and political power, by excIud-
oil
intermeddling with the affairs of society, by
which monopolies fostered, privilege
classes aggrandized, and individual freedom
unnecessarily and oppressively restrained.
Fifth. The right and duty of the state to
protect its citizens from extortion and unjust
discrimination by chartered monopolies

Affairs at the San Carlos Reservation
Surrender of Sc ChiquitO" with the
Last of the StraggIers--The NOtOri-
Ous "ChapO' Killed.

GUS "ChapO" Killed.
PRESCOTT, August 1S.-Late advices
from the San Carlos Reservation say
that Captain Chiquito,n with the last
remnant of the struggling bands of
hostile Apaches, surrendered at that
post on the 18th. He had with him
fifteen warriors. Lieutenant Ward,
Fifth Cavalry, in command of the
post, confined Chiquito in the guard
house.
Chapo, the Indian who last year cre-
ated such an emeute at the Verde Res
ervation, and by his misrepresenta-
tions induced nearly all the Indians
there to abandon the Reservation, was
killed on the 10th of this month by a
party of soldiers sent out from the
San Carlos Reservation under guide
Stanley. All the Indians in company
with Chapo, to the number of seven,
were taken prisoners and brought into
camp.
The commanding officer at San Car
los at last advices had not learned of
the apprehension of Del-che, and had
sent out large party of Apache sol
diers to effect his arrest.
The Indians at San Carlos are well
pleased with their fine harvest. Be
tween eight and ten thousand pounds
of barley have been bought by the
Quartermaster's Department at four
cents per pound. About half as much
more barley, which was damaged by
the spring rains, was not threshed but
used as pasturage for Government ami
mails. Fifteen thousand pounds of
wheat have been harvested and are
now stacked on the reservation. All
this work was accomplished in the
face of very discouraging obstacles.
The Indian Bureau supplied no farm
ing tools and the Apaches were obliged
to cut the grain with their butcher
knives. twenty-five acres of corn are
under cultivation, and as many more
of beans.
Mr.. Clum, the new Indian Agent,
arrived at the Reservation on the 7th
inst.

THE Sacramento Record thinks the
United States so democratic, so plain,
so plebeian, so unaristocratic that
her own citizens as they become re-
fined and educated, leave and make
their homes in the more high-toned
nations of Europe. Indeed Has
this untoward circumstance anything
to do with the fact that the editor of
the Record is one of Her Majesty's
subjects, that he refuses to become a
citizen of the United States, and that
he has more to say about and does
more growing at our political institu-
tions than a dozen gentlemen to the
manor born Subjects of Great
Britain or of any other nation, who

but that he will be reelected by a large

The apple tree originated in Europe. In the
northern. western and middle States they are
perfectly nj home, and the finest in the world,
saws Mr. Cole The hardest kinds flourish in
Canada, Nova Scotia and New brunswick.
Some varieties form large trees, aud I've 20 the
arc Of one hundred years. Doubtless they
Aiurished better in the primitive soil than at
present, where the soil has been long cult
waited It is claimed by some that Tie apple
can not be raised TO perfection or profit IN thi-
section Of Vermont. This ! consider q mis-
take have succeeded with the apple, pear
and plum, and am satisfied my ncighbors can do
the same by following the same course care
not whether the tree be native or from New
York, if it he \ hardy variety and adapted TO
this part Of Vermont. The great trouble In
raising trees brought from distance is they arc
spoiled in taking up and transporting. The
roots are cropped too much, and they are kept
out of the ground from two TO three weeks.
and even as long as five or six weeks. The
consequence l., the bark and sap j. dried up.
and the roots being cropped, the tree does not
receive the requisite nuufi-Ntncut 10 give 70
sufficient start TO live through the succeeding
winter and the next June you will find your
trees dead or dying
Trees should be taken up as mrly in the
spring as possible, with as many iibrOus roots
as convenient, and re planted without delay.
Let tie soil be well puverized, and well ma
nurcd with old fine manure; the roots straight
eued, well filed with earth, and gently pressed
down then mulch with some coarse straw
manurc-or, best Of all, rytted leaves from
hard wood land. Aiter being set, they should
be washed to soften the bark and make the tree
thrifty The best wash have ever used is,
one quart Of soft soap and one gallon Ut water,
with one or two spoonluls Of unslacked lime,
and one spoonful Of fine salt then silt in good
ashes sufficient 10 mike a paste Of proper con-
sstency to apply with whte-wash brush.

Pruning may be done at almost any time, as
