Callender's famous Georgia Minstrels
will appear at the Grand Opera House
on Saturday evening next. Since their
last appearance here these minstrels have
travelled extensively and have received
numerous complimentary notices from
the press of the country. One of these
notices from the Boston Herald, is MS fol-
lows:
They have burst ON us like an ava
lanche, and taken the town by Storm
The company has made an immense hit
in this city. All the reserved seats are
sold long before the performances begin,
and the house is filed by fashionable
audience-one rarely seen at minstrel
entertainment. The rush to see them is
unparalleled in the history of minstrelsy.
The performances of this band of real
minstrels are received with the highest
enthusiasm. They fairly overflow with
grotesqne humor, which touches sympa-
thetic chords in the audience. 10000
people attended their four weeks per-
formances here. 1t seems almost sad to
think that their stay cannot be made
longer; they will be welcome whenever
they come back.

Heavy Betting ON Cards.
Up IN Allentown, Pa, the other day
two men were playing cards. One OF
them at the other every game, when
the unlucky person excited and vowed
that no would not lose another game
thereafter, if he did he would give note
of one thousand dollars. He lost the
game. He then drew up note for the
amount. He then said he.would bet five
thousand dollars that he would not lose
the nsxt game. The bet was taken, and
behold, he lost 1t. He stepped up TO the
bar and filed out blank note for thai
amount. The person that holds them In.
tends to demand payment as soon az
they become due.
The loser was not sharp in his game
He should have continued playing, dout
ling his bet each game, when the first
game he won would have made him
sqnare.
