The Opera House Opening.

The initial performances at Kings new
Opera House, by Payson's English Opera
Company, on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings of this week, passed off with all
the eclat anticipated and were thoroughly
enjoyed by large and appreciatlve audi
ences
Tuesday evening, being the first ap-
pearance of the company, the opera being
that beautiful creation of Flotow, Martha,
there assembled at the new hall one Of
the most brilliant and well dressed au-
diences ever brought together in this city.
Previous to the rising of the curtain for
the first act of the opera, Mayor Hold
ridge stepped upon the stage, and deliver
ed well considered, pertinent and grace
full dedicatory speech, during which he
introduced to the audience, much to
their amusement and much the embar-
rassment Of the subject of it, Mr.. Chas.
King, the owner of the opera house and
the beneficiary of the evening. 1t was
Charley's first appearance on any stage,
and we are bound to say that considering
the peculiar circumstances of the case, he
acquitted himself admirably. His bow
was delivered with Chesterfieldian grace.
Of the performance of Martha, and of
the Love Test and Vertigo the second eve
ming, we only echo the universal verdict
of the public when we say that it was
perfectly fascinating. Each member of
the Payson troupe is finished and cult
waited artistic, and We can truly say that
no entertainment more satisfying to re-
fined tastes and appreciation has ever
been given in this city. Miss Benziger,
the soprano of the company, in her per.
sonations of Lady Harriet and Sylvia,
entranced all genuine lovers OF music by
the beauty and flexibility of her voice and
her exquisite taste and expression. Miss
Randall, the mezzo soprano, also crept
into the very hearts of the audience, as
well by the brlliancy of her vocalism as
by the grace and piquancy of her acting.
She is most sprightly and graceful ac-
tress as we'll as singer of exceptional
sweetness and cultivation Both ladies
are personally attractive and dressed each
part with much taste. Mr.. Garner, the
tenor, has voice of considerable range
and great clearness, which he manages
with much taste and expression. Mr..
Payson, in the characters of Plunkett,
Hippocras and Vertigo appeared to great
advantage. To bass voice of excellent
quality and thorough cultivation, he adds
histrionic ability of high order. His
rendering Of the drunken scene in Verti-
go was most admirable piece of charac-
ter acting. The visit of the troupe to
our city will be remembered with pleas
urable emotions by every lover of sweet
sounds and refined amusement. Not the
least advantage of Mr.. Kings new hall is
the facility that it affords for the visits of
entertainments of a high order and first
class reputation like the above. The
financial results of the opening nights are
reported elsewhere in this issue.

EGYPT.-A very interesting lecture was
given at the Presbyterian church last
Sabbath evening, on Ancient Egypt, her
tombs, temples, pyramids, hieroglyphics,
monumental records, and the arts, scienC-
es and customs of the ancient Egyptians
The lecturer, Rev. w. II. Hoisington, Of
GAINESVILLE, Wis, Is totally blind but is a
ripe scholar, who spent the years Of his
fading vision in delvlng into the records
and history of the Oldest civilization on
the globe. Though the subject itself is
intensely interesting, Mr.. Hoisington in
vests it with new attractions by the felci-
ty Of his style and the eloquence of his
narrative. 1t was most enjoyable
treat

Hon. GEO. W. McCRARY.-Our city
was full of people from the coun try last
Saturday, who came to hear the above
named gentleman speak upon political
topics. Mr.. McCrary's speech had been
announced for afternoon, but dispatch
was received from him at Anamosa, where
he spoke the night before, that he could
not get here for the afternoon meeting
and it was accordingly postponed until
evening. The disappointment was vcxa.
tious, for the reason that many had come
from long distance expressly to hear
Mr.. McCrary speak in the afternoon who
could not stay until evening, and accord
ingly lost the opportunity. But as after
ward explained no blame could be attach,
ed to anybody, for it was found that by
no possible route or railroad connection
could Mr.. McCrary get here from Anamo-
Sd by the time specified in the bills.
Many people from the country, howev-
er, remained over until evening, and the
biggest political gathering Of the cam
paign was the result The court room
was packed full of people, who listened
with much interest and attention to the
powerful address of Mr. McCrary.
The speaker devoted brief portion of
his opening remarks to a candid setting
forth of the fallacy of the soft money
theory, and the constitutional and other
obstacles in the way of its realization
His argument was sound and convincing
to any unbiased mind and undoubtedly
had its effect in removing the cobwebs Of
sophistry and deceit from more than one
of his hearers. The balance Of the
speech of nearly two hours was devoted to
discussions Of the vital issues of the CAM
paign, and to trenchant exposure Of the
wicked designs. demoralizing tendencies
and insincere professions Of the confede-
rate Democracy. These were illustrated
by facts and figures, especially by the ac-
ton of the Confederate House, and the
records of the Democratic candidates.
The whole speech was an able and power
full review of the political situation and
of parties; and was received with fire..
quent and hearty applause.
At the close of Mr.. McCrary's remarks,
Capt Burdlck, the Republican candidate
for Congress, who was present, was call
ed upon, and in few we'll chosen and
straightforward words, defined his posi-
ton and his conception of the issues in
volvcd. Capt Burdick made most ia
vorable impression as a solid, earnest,
sincere man.

THE Democratic Mark Tapley of this
city, who found so much hope and conf
dcnce in the figures of the Vermont and
Maine elections last month declaring that
they pointed Enthusiastically to Democratic
success in November, had better try his
hand at figuring out consolation from the
Connecticut election, which was held this
week. We confess we admire that hap
by combination of nerve and stolidlty
that enables man to whistle through u
graveyard or appear cheerful at his grand
fathers funeral, and we would like to sec
our Democratic friend aforesaid bring to
bear his hopeful philosophy \upon the
Connecticut returns. Almost every pre-
cinct heard from gives large Republican
gains, some of the towns giving Republi-
can majoritics this year that went Demo
cratic last year. Still we have no doubt
that our cheerful friend will find it only
indicative of the election of Tilden; but
he and his party friends have got done
risking money upon the result.

Turning wounded Union soldiers
out of Office to make room for ex-
Confederates may he fully up to the
"true reform" promised by the
Democracy, but it will fall far short
of the reform that will satisfy the
country. 1t is bad enough to appoint
ex-Confederates and leading rebels to
Office while ten of thousands of brave
fellows can be found who served the
nation In its hour of peril, and VINO
stand in need of some employment
that will yieldthem fair pay for hon
est services, but it Is far worse to turn
out one-legged and one-arn1ed heroes
from positions conferred by grateful
country, to make room for the former
enemies of the Republic. II this is
the policy ofthe Democracy. the peo-
pie will effectually squelchT when it

BLAINE FoR PRESIDENT.

ol<<dI@f1 O1
The New York Tribune, or..,some
time the organ of soreheads, Liberal
Republicans and Tammany Demo-
Gratis, is reported to ha, e been placed
recently under a new management,
witha view of supporting Ex-Speaker
Blaine for the Republican nominal
ton for Presidenf.s Other advices
from Washington announce the with
drawal from the field of presidential
aspirants, of Mr.. Bristow, Secretary
of the Treasury. a powerful COM
petitor of Mr.. Blaine, and the avow-
ed intention on the part of Secretary
Bristow to support Mr.. Blaine
These reports, together with the fact
that successful efforts have been made
by leading New York politicians to
settle a long standing hostility exist
ing between Senator CoDkling and
MIR kBlaIne, have made a decided
change In The political outlook and
placed Mr.. Blaine in the front rank
of Republican candidates for the
presidential nomination.
II we consider Mr.. Blaine's great
strength in New England. the middle
States, on the Pacific coast and in
some portions of the West, and the
combinations recently made in his
favor, 1t viii become almost a fore
gone conclusion that the choice of
the National Republican Convention
will fall upon him and a stronger
man than Ex-Speaker Blaine cannot
be found in the ranks of the Repub-
lican party.
Personally popular with all classes,
a Hne orator, n statesman of great
ability, sound TO the core on the
great principles that underlie a free,
constitutional government, and firm
on all matters which have been set
tied by the late rebellion, Mr.. Blaine
will make a presidential candidate
around whom all Republicans and
true patriots can rally with a united
front and with anticipations of the
most glorious victory in November
next.

The VATICAN.

The word is often used, but there are
many who do not understand its import.
The term refers TO collection Of buildings
on one cf the seven hills Of Rome. which
covers space Of 200 feet IN length, and
900 feet III breadth 1t is built on the
spot once occupied by the garden OF the
cruel Nero. 1t owes its origin to the bishop
of Rome, who, in the early part OF the sixth
century. erected \ humble residence on Its
site.
About the year Of llto Pope Eugenius
rebuilt it on a magnificent scale. Innocent
ia few years aiterward, gave it up as n
lodging TO Peter H., King Of Aragon. In
1905 Clement ", a, the instiga,ion Of the
King Of France. removed he apal sea fron,
