FUN 0 THE Y
The BaId.Headed Veterans at n
Variety show.


Madame Blanche and troupe of va
riety artists presented the tableaux,
wants, etc, at the Assembly Hall last
night. The hall was crowded with gen.
tlemen, and three ladies attended, but
the latter soon left. Many Of our best
known steady old citizens we're present,
and of course the boys were there in
force. Old grsy.headed sires and bald.
headed veterans, captiyated by the show
bills on the streets, attended to see what
was going on. A published list Of the
names Of those in attendance would as
tonish the natives as well as the foreign
born population. The bald heads were
numerous and we're c~onspicuously in the
front line OF battle, near the orchestra
or footIights, and this was accounted for
by the fact that many of them were near.
sighted and had left their opera glasses
at home. They expected something
Frenchy," of the Partisan style, or
probably they we're DESTROYS to witness
the Can.Can,' as it is not danced at
the Jardin Msbile of Paris; but alasl
they were disappointed. Gentlemen, with
spectacles gagged and sighted at the
stage, a%nxiously awaited the going up of
the curtain so that reality could take
the place Of morbid curiosity and imagi-
nation. The boys stamped and cheered,
the bald-heads and veterans ratified their
canes on the floor, and even the dele.
gates to the Pacific Railroad Convention
became FESTIVE as if they expected to
see the terminus OF the grand trunk
Southern Pacific or Tom SCOTS St.
Louis depot when the curtain went up.
The performance was of the usual
variety style-negro business, song and
dance, etc. Madame Blanche and four
maidens dressed in tights and trunks
appeared in tableaux on a revolving
wheel, and presented several allegorical
scenes, in which Faith, Hope, Charity,
Venus and other curiosities of literature
were depicted in attitudes. The old
men began to leave, being disappointed,
the show not coming up to their ideas as
to what it should have been. Each man
gave an excuse for being present, but
they we're very lame excuses. Our dra,
matte critic has never had the pleasure
of seeing so intelligent, respectable and
representative an audience at a variety
show as he did last evening, a fact which
speaks well for the cultivated taste of
the public, as well as for the growing
popularity of the variety stage business.

causes combined, you never see woman

never see man lose. a hair below where the

A Stupid Witness.

l
There is point beyond which human for

the assigcs held during the past year at Lin
coin, England, both judge and counsel had
had much trouble to make the tirid Wit
be heard by the jury, and it is possible that
the teinper Of the counsel may thereby have
been turned aside from the even tenor Of its
way. After this gentleman hsd gone
through the various stage. of the bar

called into the box young ostler, who APP

said the astonished witness, attempting, to
