day, in connection with myself and wife, whohave
been greeted by overfowing houses on several oc-
casions. There will be change in the perform
ance each week, and in the programme each night
thus affording my fellow citizens Of Canton
an opportunity of witnessing all the latest novel
ties in our profession.

shall employ full orchestra and brass band
ofgentlemanly musicians, who are competent to
fiji! the situation and none but acknowledged Ia
dies and gentlemen of the profession will be en-
gagged.
The three nights of each week which shall try
to lease the Opera House for, will be Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, and will give matinee on
on Saturday afternoon especially for the ladies and
children who would prefer coming in the after

made entirely dark and the same performance
given as the one at night And, furthermore, there
shall be no saloon connected with the building
no smoking or drinking, or rude character OF any
description shall be allowed in the building and
my friends can rely on strictly first class variety

performance.

LOUSCHAEFER & co.

There's Louschaefer& & Co,whomake weekly blow
From the old Repository in the alley
They hopd to sweep all from this terrestrial ball
Where we could never hope to make rally,
And Louschaer was fast to blow his dreadful blast,
From that Bascom.Saxton press in that alley;
so SAVAGE after MACK" to put him on the rack,
And send him bowling into the dark valley.
But Louschaefer & Go, is LOuschdefer, we know
Who starts of in full tail and feather
He's like a peacock gay, in brilliant spring array,
Till sudden jerk comes upon his tether
Then, like tyrant ape taxes quite another shape
And his squawK is not near so full of fun,
He then is like calf that will not stay to laugh,
But dashes up the alley on run
Louschaefers the man, that favors the "can-can,"
On Sunday and all other days;
He thinks that only fools are constrained by NOR
al rules,
Or hestates at anything that pays.

4 NEW WY no SErrLE 4 SCANDAL


On last Saturday a woman with black eye and
her head looking worse than if she had been the
second best performer in first-class prize fight,
called at Poplar street residence and unfOlded
the following tale of domestic nfelicity: She said
that she had been led to the knowledge. from good
sources, that her husband had been indulgng in
too much liberty with washerwOman OCCASION
ally employed at their house, and finally when
matters came to a critical point she had accused
him of it; now he didn't ask her TO prove it, nor
did he rush for Justices Office to depose state
ment for publication; not any, he wasn't Brook
lyn man, and didn't want any statements further
than he had heard, but splitting on his hands and
pushing back his coatsleeves, he looked crosSeyed
for moment did two or three reckless clog steps,
and proceeded Immediately to settle that scandal
right then and there; he pounded his wife terri
bly,, as the condition other poor head plainly dem
onstrated, and as soon as she could get out Of his
clutches she called at house on Poplar street and
told the story She wanted to have the washer
woman arrested butfinding she could not do that
she was at a loss how to proceed, but was advised
to file complaint against the mean wretch who had
beaten her so cruelty as her head was IN terrible
condition. The statement is true but for the pres
ent we suppress the names. The man who SO
cruelty beat his wife, is one of the business men Of
Canton.

SUSAN DENIM.

Susan Denim and her superior dramatic
company will appear in Canton for sea-
son of three nights, opening on next
Thursday evening, March 18th. Itseems
almost needless to speak of the excel
lence and true merit of this actress and
her supporting company, but for the as
surance of those who failed to hear her
during her recent appearance, we will re-
peat that Miss Denim performed the finest
and most thorough piece of dramatic
acting, during her former engagement in
Canton, that has ever been rendered in
the city, without an exception. The COM
pany undertakes the production of the
higher grade of legitimate dramas, and
each performer is perfectly at home in
his or her individual part. In point of
interest, merit and ability these perform
ances are as far above burnt cork exhi-
bition of nonsense and mimicry, as
Shakespeare above ten cent joke book,
vet many of the citizens of Canton, taking
past evidences as a criterion, seem more
truly to appreciate the latter than the
former. We hope to see Miss Denim meet
with such a reception as she deserves.

We were not seriously i'll, but some villainous

smallpox; but it was not smallpox nor was 1t the
