An idea for Dallas.

Wednesday evening rs two young
girls were passing the corner OF Georgia
and Suffer streets they were rpdelY ac-
costed by one Of couple Of ovorgrown
hoodlums who were standing on that
corner. The girls, on reaching their
destination, informed gentleman nc
auaintance of the affair and as it was
not the first time the ladies' had been III
suited in passing that point, he deter
mined not to let it pass unnoticed.
Arraying himself in one Of the highest
of pull.backs, borrowed for the occa-
sion" and accompanied by the two girls,
he started on his avenging mission. On
arriving at the corner the two mash
ers" were found to be still there, and rs
the trio were passing, one OF tho two
advanced n step, offering his arm to one
of the ladies, with the remark An,

say any more, for just then his dear
girl" gave him one straight from the
shoulder, knocking the killer W
against the wall Of the building with
such force that it shook the building as
though there were two or three first

A Second Hell Gare.

Capt Isaac Hamilton, one of the contractors
engaged 10 removing Dry Rock in the Kenna-
bee river near Richmond, was in town Satur-
day and gave very interesting account of his
work there This operation, which is under
the direction of Gen. Thorn, is next in size to
He'll Gate, which was so successfully blown up
yesterday. The current is very swift over the
rock, making it difficult to work. In one blast
recently 80 tons of rock were thrown 80 feet.
There were four holes drilled, II, Is, Is and II
feet, filled with vulcan powder and then the
blast was fired with battery in a very sue
cessful manner. Three stones weighing 10
tons apiecs were raised bodily and moved u
feet A large number Of fish were killed a
blast fred last Friday. The operations have
been in progress year and it will take some
time longer to complete it. The drilling is
done by steam.
The schooner Odel, Capt Winslow, of this
city, went on to the rock last week and came Of
leaking badly. Capt. Hamilton sent one of his
divers to her aid and the leak was stopped and
she arrived at this port all right.

The English Ouera.


"The Bohemian Girl'' is such standard
favorite with lovers of the English opera that
any description of its plot or analysis of its must
cal merits is uncalled for. There is so much ex.
preston, variety, and sweetness in its airs, and
the action is so rapid and interesting that,
when well given, it ensures the pleasure of the
audience. 1t was sure to be exceedingly we'll
sung by the Rudolphsen troupe-which by the
way, is the right sort of company to establish
opera upon firmer footing in America. 1t is
an excellent stock company, who take time
and pains to learn the music and the business
of their parts, and withou: engaging any one
artist at immense cost as the attraction, provide
singers who are competent to give the operas
of their repertoire in a wel-balanced and ade-
quate manner. The occasion of Miss Star
birds benefit mnst have been very gratifying
to her; the audience was sympathetic and cor
dial in its expressions; and the beneficiary re-.
ceived an elegant basket of flowers. She sang
even better than on the two former evenings,
receiving warm applause for her expressive
and beautiful rendition OF the familiar 81
dreamt that dwelt in marble halls" while in
the air Come with the Gypsy Bride" her facile
execution and graceful phrasing were noticea'
BILE. Miss Holmes looked and sang the part Of
the Gypsy Queen admirably. Mr.. Tower sang
finely, and the spirited song "The Fair Land
of Poland" was especially suited to his full,
vigorous tenor. Mr.. Rudolphsen as the Count,
sang with great effect, but his acting retained
some slight traces of his practice in comic
parts. Mr.. Gilbert, as Devilshoof, was notably
good. The minor characters and chorus were
alike inoffensive and embarrassing. The cos
tunes were in good taste and suitable. The
applause was warm and frequent; Mr.. Rudolph.
sens fine performance of 'The heart bowed
down" eliciting repeated encores.

A CoLLIsIoN.-Saturday evening as Mr.. G..
G. Elder was riding through Congress Square
with lady team came up High street at a
furious rate and collided with his carriage, up
setting and nearly demolishing it. The occu-
pants were thrown out violently and the lady
was quite badly injured. She was carried into
Mr.. Anderson's, corner of Free ard High
streets, and DR.. Weeks sent for. She received
a very severe shock and was considerably
bruised about the body and on her ankles and
wrists, though no bones were broken. The
doctor thinks there were no internal injuries,
and that she will be about in few days. The
men driving the team which came up High
street did not wait to learn the extent of the
damage done, but drove on out of sight with
all possible speed. They were pursued but not
captured.
