This popular downtown amusement resort was
besieged with great owd early last evening. and
before the performances began there was not q
single seat to be mad, late comers either
having to content themselves with '.stand-

theatre for entertainment. The reasons for this
continued prosperity are evident when one
witnesses the varied performance given within its

ably large, and to judge from the ap-
plause bestowed on the play during
It's progress the audience were well pleased with
its merit AS may be gathered from the title, the
work is pufely American, and Its reception goes
far TO disprove the complaints OF those croakers
who assert that native dramatic work Is not fairly
treated by the public. Like most OF the society
dramas OF the day, the interest In ''Specal atom

The Olympic Theatre.

The bill at this house has been considerably im-
proved by alteration Effected in the English ver-
sion OF Offenbach's opera oon0s "Genevieve de
Brabant; or, the Wonderful Pie." There is some
dinicultyin acclimatzing this sparkling and joyous
class Of entertainments amoug Englsh-speaknR
peoples but, all things considered, tue olympic
company have succeeded in presenting the anus
Ing features OF this buresque in q manner to de-
serve approval. The chief roles are well filled.
hiss Alice Harrison, as Genevieve, is bright and
intelligent, sings ana acts well, with more chic
than we generally find with English actresses.
The music Is peculiarly sparkling and Is
rendered with very good effect. The singing OF
MIR. Warden in the role OF Colo Is deserving
OF special mention. Barney and Rlckey's sketch,
"Ah Hallow Eve" has a good deal OF merit, with
the exaggeration and unreality that seems tn
evitaDly 10 attach to all pictures OF Irish lille pre-
senLed on the stage. II ls, however. one O the
best OF the kind we nave seen, and, though some

The Paris Kentuckiau is reminded by
the recent wordy duel between Henry
:. Foote and Jefferson Davis, Of the ac-
count VIII ch the late Sargent S. Prem
tiss gave of the causes of the two duels
between him and Foote. A friend of
Prcnliss was at the point of death from
an attack of mania-d p0tu. For q
week his physicians had essayed every
known remedy to put their patient to
sleep, but in vain. Prentiss knew that
Foote had made visit to Texas. He
was hunting his sick friend, when Il
consultation of the doctors was held,
and they announced that the case was
hopeless, unless the patient could be
put to sleep, but that they would ex-
haust all means known to the profess
sion. Prentice sprang from his seat,
and said to the doctors, Dammit, give
him Foote's book on Texas to read, and
will insure its soporifc effect" The
remark of Prentiss was too good a joke
to be kept, and it reached the ears of
Foote, who challenged, and Prentice
was too much of a southern cavalier to
decline, and they met, and Foote was
wounded and the parties made friends.
1t happened that the meeting was so
notorious that a very large collection
crossed the river at Vicksburg to wit
ness it, and among them number of
bows, who were so anxious to get full
sight, that climbed up many trees about
the grounds. When the seconds had
planted the parties, Prentiss looked
around and saw the boys in the trees,
and iestingly remarked : "Boys, you
had better take care; Foote shoots
m ghty Wild" This remark was pub
lished in the papers, and annoyed Foote
to such a dagree that he again chal.
lcnged Prentiss, who met him a second
time as gentlemanly solace to Fc ote's
wounded spirit. At the meeting FCote
fred and missed, and Prentiss fired lis
pistol in the air, and the parties wert
again reconciled. ,
Foote'S Texas dropped still-borI
from the press, and it is believed j
would be hard to find copy, valuable
as it might prove as narcotic.

shop and learn something about a gun
before making an ass of himself.
Here Mr.. Yeomaus showed up his
shirt-sleeves and mixed a cocktail for
Judge Hemingway, of Kansas, and
Judge Peter Clinton, of Salt Lake.
After the cocktails had disappeared, he
continued
Well, just as Ira and Hackett got to
cussin one another, John Scranton he
stepped up and sculled himself into the
row. OF course he took Hackett's side,
declaring the gun to be nothing more
than pop.gun, and wondered that a
man of Ira's sporting reputation would
carry such a gun. Ira was wild. He
had no suspicion that the boys were not
in earnest. There was q jolly row. 1t
lasted two or three minutes. Then
Scranton asked Ira if the gun was
loaded. Ira said she was. 'Ther,'
said John, winking at the boys, I'll bet
you basket of wine that you can't hit
my hat on top of that barrel pointing
to barrel about forty yards distant
At this Ira hestated. He looked at
Sclanton's new beaver, and said that it
would be q cussed shame to ruin such a
hat as that. If some one would put up
an old hat he'd take the bet. But John
Scranton insisted on putting up his hat,
and accused Ira of trying to crawl out
of it because he knew there were no old
hats on the premises. That fired Ira up
again. Put up your hat, he said.
I'll take pop at it for basket of
wine. ,"
Here Mr.. Yeomaus showed up his
sleeves, and mixed cocktails for Bishop
Farr, of Ogden, and Col. Woolley, of
Cheyenne. They were large cocktails
After they had disappeared-the cock
tails, not the bishop and the colonel
he continued
$50 John Scranton went out, and put
his fifteen-dollar hat on the barrel.
When he came back he was nigh burst,
ing with laughter. All the boys were
nudging each other, and had as
much as they could do to hold in. Ira
he raised the gum took good aim, and
pumped away with both barrels, The
hat Jumped into the air about ten feet,
and then fell to the ground perfectly
riddIed with soot, Everybody roared
but John Scranton and Hackett. "
Here Mr.. Yeomau showed up lis
sleeves, aad mixed cocktails for War
ren Hussey and your correspondent.
They were small ones-the cocktails, not
the men. After they had disappeared he
continued
You see, it was a job put up on
Scranton and Hackett before they came
in. There were four charges in the gun,
and Schenck only drew out two of them.
Scranton only said, holy smoke and
ordered the vine"

their action being, to say the least,
doubtful and, moreover, he considers
the action Of the germs unavoldaoly

lungs do not reach the intestines, ana
because such as are thus swallowed, be-
