ADJUSTMENTS.

The ST. CHARLES THEATER.-The romantic
and interesting drama of the "Organ Grinder"
was presented at this theater last night, with
Miss Eva and Mr.. Frank Vincent in the lead
ing characters The play was full of interest
and excited the we'll deserved applause of the
audience. The same bill is announced for
the remainder of the week.
The ROYAL YEDDo JAPANESE TROUPE.
Never before IN the history OF entertainments
has such bewildering galaxy Of male and fe-
male performers been seen in this country as
that under the leadership of the Prince of
Tismah, leading juggler of the world. All
their acts are entirely new, unique and start
ling. The leading artists are Gangero, who
bears the great Imperial medal Of excellence
from the Mikado of JAPAN Yarakeku, an orr
entail beauty, the belle of japan, great bal
lancer and ascensionist; Que-Taro the fear
less bamboo and inclined rope ascensionist,
far superior to King Sabre, the acknowledged
leading balancer in the world, (his feats ere
perfectly terri6c); Tomey-Taro. o homeless
boy, the wonder Of the world; Kuhne-Taro,
the boy spider, most astonishing performer;
Occa. Yadsnochi, Tozsan, Taoso and others,
ranking in their country as the most talented
and expert performers. This company excel
in feats of agility, strength, contortion, rope
sword manipulating, etc.
The GLOBE THEATER.-As usual, the Globe
last night was crowded with an appreciative
and admiring audience. The want Of space
forpids us to make special mention of the
merits of the different stars attached to the
Globe company. It is the general impression
of those VINO patronize this theater that the
Globe company is made up of artists of such
decided ability as to justify their being all
ranked in the same category.
Tonight another fine bill will be presented,
and those who attend will doubtless spend an
enjoyable evening
To furnish the ivory which is imported
into England alone, so, 900 elephants have to
be killed every year. The best ivory comes
from Zanzibar the product Of the African ele-
plant; it is Opaque, soft, easy to work, and
free from cracks and other defects. That from
Ambriz, the Gaboon River, and south of the
equator, is called "silver gray;" it remains
white, and never becomes yellow, as is the
case with the A,iatic ivory; it is therefore the
most valuable of any ivory in the market. The
tusks from Siam are translucent, and being
soft grained are preferred for ornamental
work.
The fossil tusks of the mammoths foud in
the Arctic regions and Siberia form not incou-
siderable amount of the ivory trade. Some
of these tusks are in as fine condition for
working as the very best of modern ivory,
which is very remarkable, as some of these
elephants or mammoths have been preserved
in an ice crust, and have remained imbedded
for unknown ages, probably since the glacial
period-some 10000 years ago. If this IS
SO, it goes to show that the change of tenn
perature took place rapidly in then tropical
climate, where these animals previously -four
ished, and overtaking them suddenly and COW
ering them with an ice crust were the causes
Of their perfect preservation.
