TIE THBATERs.-Tbe Kellogg English opera
NHanr
week at the National Thester last evening,
and the pleasing music of ''The BOhe man Girl"
VAS rendered in a style to satisfy a very large
and fashionable audience. MISS KellOgg's
singing Of"I dreamt dwelt in Marble Halls"
was a charming bit of melody, and the other
popular solos Of the opera were fairly sung by
the other members of the troupe. The tragic |
dignity Of Mrs. Seguin's "Gipsy Queen" rather
sstonisbed those who have thought her only
fitted for the lighter characters. which she
assumes 30 ebarmingly. Mr.. Peakes, who on
account of Cartoons cold. took the role of Count
-Armheim on short notice, did very well. To-
night " Martha" with Mrs. BrignOli in the title
role and Mrs. Seguin in the part of Nancy in
which she has no superior.
full house greeted the comcal vokes
family at Ford's Opera House last night, and
the uproariOus fun of "The Bellies of the
Kitchen" provoked more lau ghter than is often
heard during any one performance. President
Irsnt occupied a private box and seemed
10 greatly enjoy the play. The extrava
giant comedy business of the company is
not only very entertaining but their singing L. |
calcul ated to make an hour or two of the evening
pass in a very pleasant way. IT any of our
readers have the blues let them visit the VOkeses
and We guarantee cure even of the most |
desperate case.

CHANGE OF BOOKsIN THE CoLoRHD SCHOOLS
Mr.. Editor: have read with great interest your
remarks and the several communications in
your paper upon the frequent changes of books
IN the public schools They have reference TO
the white schools, but they apply with equal
force 10 the colored schools. Changes Of books |
perhaps, in them are more frequent than in the |
white schools. and we can't see any sense in it, |
1 regard IT as an unnecessary and shsmsfuI |
TAX, and one that colored people generally can |
very lily afferd to pay. Their employment is |
not OF that remunerative kind that they have !
more money than what Is req uired by the abso-
Their XII ia .apIv
famed by constant struggle, and but few Of
them realize more from their labor than a |
should have regard for the circumstances OF
those whose children are under their charge for |
useful and inexpensive education. WIS.
