loud ringing of the door-bell announced

was for a colored chambermaid in Mr..
MS employ, and was from colored man

Sorp EE AT THE VIRGINIA FEMALE IN
sT1r1rTE..-Last Friday evening the hall of
the v. I. was densely crowded to wit
ness an ente. ~tainment given by the pupils,
so varied as to give the widest scope for
their yersatilit v. One of the pieces
was a French dialogue entitled "The
will of Madame Pa. tural'' with the follow
ing characters Mad. une Robin the Exec
utrix, Miss Julia Yongs; Marchioness of
Rouncoef, Miss Laura M Ichell Madame
de Lorieux. Miss Jennie G ordon; jeanne
ton, Miss Leila Cuttings; >srtrude, Miss
Lulie Weed. The acting was very good
and that of Miss Cuttings recei we'd COM
ments of unusual favor. Her prC N uncla-
Weed was excellent. The dialogue IN
English which preceded it "The Peasant
Queen was also capitally performed. 1t
was given with this cast: Madame Mig
mage the village busy body, Miss Gertrude
Fisher; Mad. Bonceur, Miss Bessie Rob-
serts; Countess Of Belleville, Miss Julia
Yonge; Adele, Miss Laura Robinson !;
Village candidates for the rose Of honor at
the festival, Misses Nora Waddill, Lily
Smith, Leila HoWertan, Bessie Johnston
and Cora Vanduzen; !Bettina, Miss Laura
Mitchell. In this dialogue the acting OF
Misses Gertrude Fisher and Laura Mitch
ell was particularly noticeable for its ex-
cellence.
The tableauxs were admirable. Among
sEha m, of course, the Artists Studio was
sthe best as it always is, and next we may
rank the ''Wise and Foolish Virgins ard
then tie "Beggars Dream," ''Dawn OF
lDay'' and 'sLorielier,'' the legend of the
last. being recited admirably by Miss Bes-
.sIe Roberts. That tender and pathetic
wicture Of ."What are the wild waves say
ing g'' took the audience by storm and was
fercely encored.
We cannot help plimenting the ar
tistic costuming which was displayed in
both playsand tableaux. 1t was superb, and
the highest compliment that can be paid it
is to say that it vas worthy of the lowell
mess it seemed to adorn. Nor should WE
omit the recognition OF the fact that the
agadience owed its gratitude for the pleas
ure experienced from the pronounced sue
cess of both plays and tableaux to the ex-
auisite taste and skill Of Miss A. S. Farran
and Professors Richard and Scharf.

A number of the free and easy advo-
Gates Of muscle and a higher grade of
morals and Christian b~enevolence, ap-
peared in the police courts yesterday.
Fortunately most of them had, or their
friends had for them, the necessary
stamps required to lease them up"
on the purgatorial probation list. A
select few, however, chose (p) to take
their grub at the palatial hotel, situated
on Seventeenth street, and run by the
polite and gentlemanly employees of the
city-Doc, Tom, Dan and the Grand
Mogul, who is usually addressed by the
boys as marshal. The effects of last
Sundays sowing of wild oats, we trust,
is about ended, and that we shall not
for some time to come, be compelled
to chronicle a repetition of such high
toned gentility.

A HILLS ooE

lBlack Hills Pioneer. Sept 1871
Over two hundred buildings are now
in course of construction in Deadwood
and vicinity. Improvements are Of a
much better character than a month
ago.
Recent rains have stimulated gulch
mining enterprises in a great degree.
Water in many of the bitches is as plen-
tiful as ever, and the yield of dust for
the past week has been beyond the ex-
pectations of any.
! Besides the usual amount of horse
and cattle stealing INDUCED in by the
Sioux, we have also a tragedy to herald
as a portion of this weeks infamous
work. James Iron, at work on the
ranch Of Boughton & Beary, eight
miles north of Deadwood, was killed
this morning.
Frank Workman, foreman on No. 8,
says one of his crew picked up a nugget
last Thursday that holds over any be-
fore found on Deadwood. The chunk
is about half and half-cement and
gold-and in size is a little smaller than
a soup plate and a little larger than a
piece Of chalk.
One by one the old shallow claims are
being worked out and sold to new men
for reworking. Three Of the four own
ers of No. 3 below sold out this last
week at private rates. Nos. /, 2, 8, 4,
and 8 have thus changed hands during
the last ten days. Apropos of Nos. A
and 5, they do say that the Chisems,
pere ct fills, rode off with about $780, 900
of the yellow dross.
