AMUSEMENIS.

The ST. CHARLES IHEATER.-Of all Mr..
Barretts plays there is none more popular
than .Rosedale." 1t is Of the pleasing light
comedy society class Of drama, which invari-
ably takes with the maj ority of modern play
goers and Mr.. Barrett is generally conceded
to be very thorough and successful in the
leading role. The play will be repeated to-
day at the matinee, and in the evening
Romeo and Juliet will be performed.
THE VARIETIES THEATER. ''Big Bonan-
"a" was repeated last evening at this theater by
Days Fifth Avenue Company, and as we pre-
dicted, there was much larger audience
present than on the opening night, despite
the unfavorable condition of the weather.
The play is sure to take, and it is just the
style needed here now, when everybody is
omplaining of dull times, and the majority
of people wear solemn visage, for it provokes
a hearty, generous burst of laughter from the
most stolid or grievous auditor, and sends
him away feeling happier and in better
spirit to face the trials and troubles awaiting
him outside. 1t is play everybody should
see and enjoyment will be the sure result.
There will be special ladies' matinee to-
day at noon, when the "Big Bonanza" will
be repeated, and in the evening it will be
given probably its last representation, making
way for Days own version OF the 1.-Two Or
phans.
The ACADEMY OF Music. = Of all the
bewitching little beauties that have ever
visited our city, Miss Minnie Palmer is GER
tainly the queen; her charming insouciance
and naivete, added to her real ability, make
her one of the most attractive lady stars we
have had here for a long time There is
about her an air of delicate refinement which
must claim the respect of all gentlemen and
the admiration of ladies' Having gone
through a complete and exhaustive course of
training for her profession, she is much bet
ter fitted than the majority of actresses, and
being remarkably well educated and an
accomplished lady, she can fully appreciate
the requirements of the legitimate stage, and
looks upon her pet as jealous mistress who
demands of her the most earnest and labo-
rious study if she would win the prize OF
bright and successful career.
We bespeak for the little lady the klndest
consideration and the most substantial in
dorsement of all those who admire ladylike
acting and genuine talent.
Her specially drama of "Lttle Silver will
be given at the matinee to-day and again at
night. On Thursday she will appear as
Louise in "The Two Orphans" part in
which she has won the most emphatic in
dorsement from critics of intelligence and

A SINGULAR WRDDING.-A marriage took place the other day at Carnaryon under pe- culiarly romantic circumstances. The bridegroom was returned convict, and at the time of the wedding was awaiting his triel at the assizes for theft. The bride had assisted him in his theving enterprise, and was also awaiting to be tried. On the morn ing of the wedding the two lovers were es- corted by the police to the Roman Catholic chapel, where they were united together in the bonds of matrimony. Immediately af- ter the ceremony the happy pair took their departure to the assize court, where they were arraigned before Lord Coleridge and convicted of the crime lald to thelr charge. The bridegroom was sentenced to five years penal servitude and the bride to six months imprisonment with hard labor. A wedding under these circumstances no doubt appears at first sight rather melancholy affair but on the other hand it must be admitted that if similarity of tastes is the harbing- CT of happy union, the imprisoned couple have better prospect of happiness than many brides and bridegrooms whose wed. dings are chronicled as marriages in high life,' and who insteaI of being shut up ir separate buildings immediately after tht ceremony, and spared all trouble and ex- pense of housekeeping, are condemned tc dwell together regardless of cost and conse quences. s.-Lond0aa O5serUer 3t

A CALIFORNIA CURE FOR JEALOUSY = There is man in Sacramento who IS so af- fectionately fond of his wife that he is jeal- ous if man looks within forty.five feet of the direction in which she may happen to be. The other day gentleman spoke to her and he threatened suicide. His wife was despatched for bottle of poison, con- sisting of little water colored with lico- rice and labeled with glaring poison label outside, when he threatened to take some of it and actually poured it into wine glass she screamed tor help and ran out of the room into another room where she could watch him through the keYhole, and saw him coolly open the window and throw it out. She then rushed back, apparently frantic with grief, and inplored him not to do tho rash deed. He merely pointed to the glass and lying down on the floor com
 menced to kick out his legs like jumping Jack. She told him she was determined to share his fate, and swallowed the rest of the licorice water, whereupon he became frightened and called the ueighbors, con fessed he had only slammed and said fl she only survived he would never trouble her again. Then she explained the ruse and he was so mortified he tried to buy uI the silence of the neighbors but the story
 was too good to keep. He is now thor 'oughly cured. d.-iSdcrGn,e,ato (CaI.) Bee.

SIX HUNDRED GIRLS .ENTRAPPED AND STARVED IN MARYLAND.-A number of Philadelphia girls recently were enticed to Roundiop, Kent county. Md, by an ad- vertisement that fifty women were wanted to pick peaches there. where they could earn between $1. 50 and $2.O0 per day and get good board for $2.0o week. When they reached Roundtop they found about six hundred girls already employed who told them that they found it impossible to earn more than twenty cents day for if teen hours work that the food supplied to them was unfit to eat and that they had to sleep on piles of hay and straw. They would gladly return to their homes but they could not, because they were out of funds and could not spare money enough to pay the postage on letters informing theil friends of their situation. Hearing this eighteen of the Philadelphia girls who hat barely money enough to pay their fare tc Baltimore set out on their return. They reached Baltimore peniless and after havin! lasted twenty-four hours, and were sent ol to Philadelphia by the city. That such al outrageous piece of villainy as that of th
 peach growers of Roundtop can pass un
 punished is disgraceful, and that such poy
 erty and misery can exist in this countr since the abolition of slavery is almost in
 credihle =.

LECTURES. exchange says nothing has been better remunerated in this country than talking. Lyceum lecturers have been asking from $l0o to $500 for an hours talk-though talk, the boys say, is cheap. Most of the Lyceums this year demand reduction and we trust they may get it. One of the lecturers says, If less than $200, then he will stay at home and .sulk. Le. them stay at home-let them sulk. There is not a man in the lecture field that should be paid over $l0o; and most of them will sell at an immense advance over their par value at $50. So far as we have observed the $50 men are quite as good as the $2oo-the boss takers.

SINGULAR SUIoIDR. A suicide most sin gular from it's dramatic character and the absence of any known cause occurred al City Island, Tuesday. A party of con gressmen, and other notables, inclu- ding Professor Doremus, were enjoying clam-bake at Congressman Odell's exper.se, and wound up the days sport with bumor- ous speech making and song singing. After each had performed in turn. young Ita.- ian named Wanna, who had been intro duced by Professor Doremus as gentle man of great cultivation belonging 10 a prominent family in Rome, at his own re- quest favored the company with an Italian recitation in imitation of Rachel. His rcci- tation was highly dramatic, ard the spec tators were all attention and spell-boupd. His limbs seemed to quiyer with passion, while the expressi on of his face was start ling. Once he interrupted himself and turning to Senator John A. King said :- You understand Italian;' then resumed finishing with the exclamation in Italian God, who judges all, will judge this" he took pistol from the outer pocket of hi! coat and placing it to his temple fired. H. fell partly on his face and perfectly motion less. The spectators thinking it was par of the play exclaimed: Wonderful? ant applause commenced, when Doremu: rushed forward exclaiming: Great God gentlemen. he is killedp and on lifting tho body the horrible truth became manifest He lived for half an hour, but never spoke No cause can be assigned for the terrible act.

A CHURCH CHOIR SILKNoED. Rev. Mir. Hamilton. pastor of the Presbyterian church of Deckertown, being absent on Sun- day, the Rev. MT. Sloper filled his pulpit. He was ignorant of the fact that the choir of the church had quarrelled among them selves the night before, and not member was there to sing on Sunday morning. He gave out the hymn selected for the open ing and read it through. There was no mu- sical response-no sound of praise-from the choir or congregation. After mo- ment's embarrassing silence a brother arose and walking up to the pulpit whispered in the preachers ear. The preacher nodded his head and smiled. He thought the broth CT had said that the wrong hymn had been read, 50 he turned the leaves again and gave out another. It was long one and he read it through closing with Please omit one stanza.' A dead silence in the congregation again. The preacher looked uneasy and was about to give out another hymn when another brother arose and spoke from the gallery: You see our choir is busted.- Some of 'em thought the bass sung toe long and some of lem thought the sopranny was too high, and others thought we ough, to hev better alto, and they wasn't many that liked the tenor, and so the rest got mad and they won't be any singin' to-day. And so the services were finished without 'any singin.' The musical talent of the place is to be drawn from to organize { new choir.

 Gambling I'm SnratOR@s
A Saratoga correspondent of the Spring field Union has the following

A Saratoga correspondent of the Spring field Union has the following:
 Of course everybody who goes to Sara toga visits John Morrissey's gambling sa- loon. It is brick building, looking like a private house, with Saratoga Club House. inscribed over the portal. One rings and a colored waiter opens the door. You enter, and passing along long hal, reach large, finely decorated room, round the sides of which are dozen gaming tables, at which men are playing. There is no obstacle placed in the way of your ingress. Nobody seems to notice you, and you may approach the tables and watch the playing as long as you please, and when you are tired of i, leave upquestioned and without ceremony. Tue tables are for roulette, rouge-et-noir and faro. Fifty or hundred men are pres ent. Perhaps one in ten is playing, not more. Everybody talks low in order not to distract the players, and the room is very quiet. A fine restaurant is connected with the club house. Looking on for few minutes you see one man win hundred dollars and another lose it. The trouble is, what man loses at gambling is lost, while what he seems to win is in reality only bor rowed from the bank, so sure is he 10 lose it again the next night. The professional gamblers who run the tables look more like doctors of divinity than any other class oi citizens, 80 sedate and respectable is theil air. John Morrissey himself is generally te be met somewhere about the rooms, but ht doesn't happen to bc here to night. If yo, want to find him just look for Q burly levi athan of a man, with grizzled moustache The way all Saratoga toadies to this prize fighter and backleg, and the utter impuni ty with which he outrages the laws of tho state of New York, is crying shame be fore the Lord. Only excepting Monaco. .ir Italy, there is now no place in the civilized world where gambling is carried on so pub licly us at Saratoga.
