The City Council has been invited to dine.
The document was was presented in that
body last evening, and the prospect of .
royal banquet to the City Fathers, though
it does not come on Christmas day, the one

Church, inviting Council to dine with the
members of his church, on the evenings of

for advocating retrenchmont will insist upon
la members retrenching in their appetites,
while others will insist that the corporation

OLD CURIOSITY SHOP.
At the Grand Opera Honse last evening,
there gathered an audience which Miss P11t'
nam must have taken as an unmistasea1le
evidence of the appreciation the Whining
ton people have for the fine characters that
she impersonates. There is quaintness
which differs from all others, in the char
acters in dramitizations Of Dickens works,
that makes them difficult of an inteIpreta
ton in anv way approaching the conception
of the great author. But Miss Putnam
seems to have thoroughly mastered his
meaning and ideas by careful and patient
study, which has enabled her to preten@
| to the public the dual characters off, Little
Nell D." and (. The Marchioness" to degree
of perfection that has not only elected the
warmest encom;ums from the press, bnt the
| more valuable, and certainly more appreci-
able attestations from the people in the
shape Of large audiences. Last evening she
was in her happiest vein, mingling- vivatity
and pathos so charmingly as to keep the
audience alternately in harmony with the
ludicrous, and bowed to the pathos OF the
| scenes presented. At the matinee to-
day, The OLD Curiosity Shop will
| be repeated, and tonight, 1he
Daqqhter of thu Regiment will be given,
when Mr.. J. J. Sullivan, the genlemanly
manager of the troupe will recite poem
founded upon incidents which took place
during the battle of Fredericksburg, enti-
tied the "Sprig Of Green"
