The opera House.

Only = moderate audience greeted the
Pink Domino company al the Opera
house last night, but judging from the
frequency with which those present
were convulsed with laughter, S were
certainly pleased. The pIsy Is strictly y
modern one, after the style Of forbidden
Fruit" and holds the mirror up to
nature. The plot is simple, and is to the
effect that three gentlemen, who ought
to know better, excused them
selves for night to their
wives on aimsy pretexis. The ladies find
it out and fix up things to deceive their
husbands, and the affair esds in domes-
tic row, after all parties have made a
night OF it al the Cremorne Gardens. But
the cloud of unhapplness which has sur
rounded them Is GIspelled by the detec-
.lon OF maid servant who has been
PLAYING the role OF Pink Domino" rs
well as her mistress. With the denOue-
ment comes forgiveness and happy re-
union of all concerned. Throughout the
play l. decidedly amusing, and with
proper scenic effect cannot iail TO take rs
well il not better than forbidden
Fruit" Tonight, in addition TO the
Pink Dominoes,' the musical comedl
eta OF Jennie LIND" will be produced.

Correspondence OF the Register.
SIR-Having learned that some OF the
nailers working in the above factory
have circulated the report that the pres
ent strike was nothing more or less than
an attempt to force the employers to sub
nit to the feeders" every caprice and
whim; or in other words to run the jobs
to suit themselves, now |, as feeder
in the said factory, deny all such asser'
tons, and if you give me room IN your
valuable paper, will do my best TO set
the case before your readers, and the pub
liz fairly, all may judge for themselves.
The facts OF the case are rs follows: Mr..
Peter McCsnn was employed by Mr..
Wells, feeder, to feed his machine for
Joseph Berro mailer, of course with the
consent of Joseph BerrO. Now Mccain
is first class workman, and worked
for five weeks feeding this
machine on tenpenny nails, and
during this Mr.. Berro seemed to be sat
lstied, until last week, when Mr.. Wells
machine was put TO making ten-penny
fence nails, being much better job than
common nails. Mr.. Berro then wanted
to set McCann of Wells stool, and place
another man there to iced the fence JOB.
Now, if Mccain was an inferior work
man. or was not sober and steady
workman, We would probably say moth
ing against MIR. Berros action, but, on
the contrary, would be satisfied. But,
taking the whole matter into Consdera-
ton, we concluded to strike against
what we considered unjust treatment 10
fellow workman. Hoping some Of the
other feeders or nailers will give their
ideas of this case to the public, and
thanking you for your space, | remain
one Of the striking NAIL FEEDERS.
