Harerly's Minstreis.

All that had been promised was fully real
lied by those who attended the Grant
Opere House last evening, to witness the
entertainment given by Haverly's Minstrels
Without any reason for partially, save
their own merit, we pronounce it the best
minstrel troupe that has ever visit, this
city. Each act sparkles with something
fresh so aptlv put as to credit effect with
out the labors that many use to bring out
points. The entertainment last evening
was mirth provoking from beginning to
end, and won hold upon the large audi
ence that will ensure them full patronage
whenever they visit US.

The Insane Asylum Investigation,

By American Press Association,
WASHINGTON, May 11-Secretary Brs-
tow, of the Treasury, appeared before the
committee to-day. 1t will be remembered
that Mrs. Mary Lane Vankeuren, now OF
Chicago, testified to a tale of horror before
the committee about week ago, and her
testimony was extensively circulated by the
sensational press. During her examination
she repeatedly asserted that she was not
disreputable woman, though she was not
questioned at al on that point. She stated
that in the fore part Of 1871 she went to
California, and while there the Chicago
fire occurred, burning her out. She asser-
ted that Secretary Bristow and his family
travelled in her company all the way, and
that the Secretary knew whether she kept
disTeputable associations or not. When the
Secretary was called as witness face tC
face with the woman in the committee
room, he swore that he never saw or hearC
tell of her before, and that he did not 90 tC
California until in 1872, after the Chicago
fire. This is the 'trustworthy witness
vouched for b. reckless correspondents il
their eagerness for scandal. We under
stand there are several other matter
coming which will show this woman in he
true character. Dr. Nichols has been Tor
tuaate thus far in showing the standing
and the motives of his assailants. We hay
no doubt of his complete yndication by tn
proof.

The Game Yesterday-The Ale
ghenIes Win by a Score OF TO 3.
The attendance at the Standard
grounds yesterday, to witness the game
between the Alleghenies and Standards
was very large, many ladies being
present. But for the rain in the morning,
however, and the threatening aspect Of
the weather in the afternoon, there
would, no doubt, have been a
great many moro present. The
game was one of the finest ever played
in this city, and the applause at times
was vociferous. The Alleghenies won
the toss, and sent the Standards to the
bat. The first inning both sides retired
without scoring, and the second came to
an abrupt conclusion without anyone
reaching first base The third and
fourth resulted IN two large eggs each
for both sides, and in the fifth our boys
scored two to the Alleghenies one, and
the immense excitement which followed
was beyond description. The sixth IN
ming resulted in another egg tor both
clubs; the seventh tied the game, and
in the eighth the Alleghenies scored
three, leading the Standards the same
number. This did not encourage the peo'
pie in favor of the home club, and the
ninth and final inning was not COM
menced with the usual excitement among
the audience. Our boys, however, scored
one more, and succeeded in again retir-
ing their opponents with the usual egs
our goose is so fond of dishing up for
visitors. The best playing WAS done by
Nelson, Recap and Wilson of the Ale
ghenys, and by johnson, Robinson, Glass
cock and Barley Of the Standards, each
of whom deserve credit for their good
work, as does Summers for his excellent
catching, though not quite up to that of
the Ncshannock game. The score:
