| AMUsEMENTs.-Mr Oates and her
talented comic opera troupe, whom we
will be pleased to welcome at any time,
closed their brief engagement at the Thea
tire last night. A most brilliant audience
was in attendance, and the "Boheman
Girl" all things considered, was we'll
rendered throughout. hl y
Tonight Mr.. Joseph Murphy, cele-
brated comedian, commences a short en-
gagement at the Theatre, on which occa-
sion his great play of "Help" will be
performed. The piece is said to abound
in Dutch, Irish and Ethiopian commicali-
ties.
The Norfolk Virginian of the 2lst inst,
in speaking OF the play Of "Help" in that
city, says: "In company with large
audience, composed Of the most apprecia-
tive people in the city, we last evening
attended the first performance of Help
in this city. by Mr.. Joseph Murphy and
the company by which he is supported,
and we must say that we were agreeably
surprised. This is saying good deal, for
our expectations were raised to high
pitch from reading the lavish encomiums
bestowed upon him by the Southern
press, but we had not the slightest
idea that he could so instanta-
neously and completely drop his individ-
uality in any role he essayed, and take
up another entirely different in its con-
ception. As an Irish comedian we have
never seen his superior, and as Dutch
man and Dutchwoman he cannot be sur
passed, while in the B fiat clarionette solo
he was simply inimitable. His rendition of
the love letter in the language of the
Fardeland was also superb. But in the
negro character Mr.. Murphy perhaps
showed to the best advantage, and his
skill with the bone castanets is unhap-
proachable in the profession. He throws
them up in the air, under his legs and in
every possible direction without ever for q
moment losing the time, and initiates the
clatter of the horses hoof during race to
the life. The play is well adapted to the
exhibition of Mr.. Murphy's talents. He is
well supported"
4 Eli Perkins talk before the Young Mems
Christian association last night drew q
packed house. All the aisles were filled
with laughing, roaring mass of people.
His lecture was so full of fun and satire
that its repetition will draw fashionable
crowd again tonight. Come early and
get front seat
The Virginia Opera-house was crowded
last night with Pythians and their friends,
all of whom doubtless enjoyed the splendid
lecture of DR.. Edwards on Pythiansm.
The Doctor is evidently heart and soul
in the cause.

A COMMERCIAL NEED SUPPLIED
A submarine telegraph line and system of
storm and danger signals has been estab-
lished between Norfolk and Albemarle
Sound, and will soon be completed to Cape
Hatteras.
The distance between Norfolk and Cape
Hatteras is 1877 miles between those
points there are intermediate signals and
life-saving stations along the coast: Tele-
graphists have been supplied to the COM
pleted stations, and their services have
already been availed of with benefit by the
underwriters in reference to vessels in dis
tress off the coast. FRS.
Heretofore there has been no systematic
arrangement touching the regular notifica-
ton of vessels having passed Fortress
Monroe, and, as consequence, steam
ships frequently passed in without being
announced. By the new arrangement
notice of all disasters, wrecks or vessels
passing near the stations along the coast
from Norfolk to Hatteras will be imm edi-
ately transmitted by telegraph to Richmond
and other points. Not only this, but pre-
cautionary signals will be displayed to
warn vessels from the dangerous coasts, and
assistance to be in readiness with life-saving
apparatus, boats, &c. 1t is not necessary to
dwell upon the benefits to result from this
great work. Not only will the weather in
formation be greatly increased in value and
information regarding disaster be given to
those interested, but communication can
readily be held by signal and telegraph
with vessels of the merchant and naval
marine at the various ports. The entire
work has been accomplished by the men,
bers of the Signal service, who deserve
special commentator for their efforts.

Likes and Dislikes Of Vegetable Neigh
bOrs.

Cuthbert W. Johnson. T.. X. D.. gives
the following hints
IL was an early observation of the cult
vators Of the soil that there are good and
bad neighbors, even in the vegetable world.
The Roman farmers noticed the vigor with
which the vine vegetated when planted
near the elm. They were wont to call
That tree the husband OF the vine, and it
has been supposed that the elm was. i'm
fact, first introduced into England by the
then masters OF our island when they made
their vineyards.
They were ali well aware. although
there Is a friendship" between some
plants, there Is ''enmity'' between others.
cato, one of the very early Roman authors,
noticed that the vine is at "enmity" with
the cabbage. And these facts were OBJ
served by more han one author of the six
teenth century. Thus Conrad Heresbach,
who was born in 1908. remarks in his
Treatise on Husbandry, because there is
a natural love OF friendship between GER
tain trees, you must set them the nearer
together. as the vine and the olive. the
~pomegranate and the myrtle otbers," he
continues, shave a natural hatred. as the
vine with the filbert and the bay
Modern cultivatOrs have noticed other
lacts OF a sinilar kind, as that the acacia

in our articles to-day, are the Dallas
college, large stone building, at the
corner of Live Oak and Cantagral

the Catholic convent, on the corner OF
Bryan and Master streets, destined to
be the largest convent in the south
west, and fair prospect for Austin col

of the Old School Presbyterian church
in this state, Arkansas and the Indian

are bright in the extreme. We may
also state that we have completed
church edifices as follows: Methodist
South, Old School Presbyterian, Epis-
copalian, Cumberland Presbyterian,
Christian, Baptist, Catholic, three col
