ARRABELLA GoDDARD.-Thero will be
no aearth of first class amusemcnts ut the
Opera House this season. In addition to
others, lovers of music will be pleased to
hear that the celebrated paniste named
above, with her accomplished troupe,
will appear at the Opera House on the
18th inst. The press in all the
cities which she has visited teens
with her praises, while the artistes ac-
companying her likewise received high
encomiums. The troupe appears to be
equally at home in ballad as in operate
music, and regarding Madame Goddard
herself, one paper thus speaks:
"Madame Goddard, who is now in her
thirty fifth year, is one of the most beau
titul and accomplished of women. She
speaks five languages fuently. and is
otherwise finely educated. She owns
property in California Australia, Lon
don and Bologne. She is estimated to be
worth between three and four hundred
thousand dollars"
knowing the good taste of our city so
well, we have no doubt but that the lady
and company will be literally patron
lied

THAT the young lady who deliberately
goes late to church, to attract attention as
she sweeps down the aisles, is foolish
virgin, all will admit, and that the young
man who plastcrs his hair down tight
over his forehead, bridges his nose with
AN eye-glass, wears loud cane, and when
he comes late at the opera strikes an atti-
tude at the door while he glsres around
for seat, and then stalks to it with the
proud air of prize mule at county
fair, is snob, is too palpable to admit of
a doubt.

pilots SO poor, that they must compel men
to hire them whether needed or not, let a

Louisvll lie to pass such an ordinance The
Courier-JouIpal of Saturday says: "Geo.
Lightner was fined $40 before

violating a city license" The city OF
Evansville has just as much right to pro-
hibit regularly licensed pilots from TAX
ing boat around the point of the dyke
above this city, and compel them to hire
an Evansville pilot. We hope those
pilots who have been or may be fined for
doing just what they are licensed to dc
by the United States, will take an appeal
to the United States District Court
which will knock the Louisville city ordi,
nance higher than kite. Not single

ABOUT SEwERs.-We were requested


ABOUT SEwERs.-We were requested
to state the following facts in rela-
ton TO the Main ana 22d street
sewers, which are now nearly com
p!eted. Our informant has had every
facility of inspecting the work through
out its progress, and is entirely
| neutral as far as any interest IN the
contracting parties are concerned, and
this is merely done to put the plain facts
of the case before the public. In the
first place, the work, both as for quality
of materials and care IN construction Is
concerned, is decidedly the best work OF
the kind ever built in Wheeling. The
bricks have been rather rough, but are
all hard, and exceptionally few bats
have been used, except in the north end
of the Main street sewer, and here
only used in the backing. In regard to
to the charge of using mud for mortar
our informant states that cement mortar
looks considerably like mud, and to the
uninitiated, might be easily mistaken for
it. The piece of work referred tie
| by the member of council
from the Fourth ward, was
done by drunken workman, who was
| Immediately discharged after the inspec-
ton of his halt days work, the work
promptly torn up and replaced by work
according to the specifications. Our in
formant further states that two hundred
and six barrels of cement were used, a
much larger proportion than ever before
used on such work in this city. 1t was
carefully measured and mixed in accor-
dance with the specifications. The work
has all been laid to line, and there Is
not single "aat' in the whole length.
| The circumstances under which the work
has been done, has been very discourag-
ing. Council delayed the awarding
of the contract until mid-wintcr,
since which time the work
has been prosecuted with all the vigor
possible under the terrible conditions, oc-
casioned by the rain and mud, with
which any person giving it their atten-
ton are fully cognlzant.

Three Rural Rnnsfnrs.

There was Il lively little tilt in the Ohio
House of Representatives, on Wednesday,
between Private Dnlzell, Schcble nf Henry,
and Thompson OF Lucas, on the amend
merrt to the burglary act. 1t was propos-
ed to extenl the scope Of the act somewhat,
so as t. make hen-housc robhing and corn
crib cribjing, burglary. Thompson favor
cd the aintndment, while DIlzcll and
Schehle opposed. Dalzell, in one of his
flights of Tiltonian eioqucnce, said the
present burglary act already extended its
broad agis OF protection over the roosters,
geese and small fowls OF the gentleman
from Lucas.
The eloqucnt and urhane gentleman
from Henry followed Dalzcll in the same
strain. Thompson in reply said: "'rhe
gentlemen from Henry and Noble, BY vir-
tue of belonging To the legal profession,
strut about the House like bantam ROSTERS
in a barn yard, as'iImming to know
enough for all professions and occupations"
Here Scheble Of Henry intorposed the
question; "What kind of rooster are
you ?" (Langhter.) Thompson, bIushing
to the tops Of his ears, replied: IL am not
that kind OF rooster that, with grain Of
corn, calls all the hens about him aud then
eats it himself" Qmmensc Laughter. -
