There is a phrase much in favor
with the average Baltimore fop, Ono
ticeable since the "CentenniaD which
when he has uttered, fancies he has ac'
quilted himself of all the requirements
Of Webster and Quackenbos. To
take things in" are the inspired
words. They do not attend the opera
visit the parks, or call on friends, but
all are "taken in" On Sunday last,
after service, we observed a young
man issuing from the church, and sa-
Lutte crowd of outdoor worshippers
The usual sallies of pleasantly through,
one Of the gang inquired: care you
going to take in Oats this week? p The
young man looked confused and angry,
at so odd query, and Indignantly de-
manded if they took him for a horse,
or an outbound vessel in the grain
trade. They soon discovered their pet
expression had janged, and made a.
mends. by inviting him, in becoming
language, to witness Mrs. Oates's per-
sonation of "Girofe Girofa," at the
Academy of Music tonight.
Maggie Mitchell is at Fords' this
week. She is a great favorite with
her home audiences, and notwithstand-
ing her repertoire, is ever the same,
and has been produced and reproduced
here so often, all classes still flock to
see her because she is Maggie Mitchell.
Mons. Valleau Cartier, reformed
the feat here, short time since, of
waltzing twelve hours and half with
out intermission, and on Wednesday
next proposes to outdo any former eff
fort, by tripping it for thirteen hours.
There has been famous fair here,
at Masonic Temple, whose object was
to replenish the Emory Grove Camp
meeting fund. The occasion was rem
dered illustrious by the ''high and
mighty" presence of his excellency
President Hayes and wife, who upon
two occasions, held receptions, and had
the effect of making it huge success.
There has been considerable excite
ment and discussion here for the past
week, consequent upon two theatres
advertising to produce the same play
in consecutive weeks. The play is OF
French erigin, and is by D'ennery,
the author of the "Two Orphans" tits
entitled "a Celebrated Case" and seems
to promise remunerative results. Mr..
Ford, who is legally entitled to its pro-
duction here, by permission Of its
owners, laid an injunction restraining
manager Gilmore, of Hilliday Street
theatre from using it. The latter, how
ever, extensively advertised, and per-
sisted in his determination to give it to
his patrons. A large audience assem-
bled last evening to witness the play
at Gilmor.'s, but before the hour ar
rived, a representative appeared be-
fore the curtain and announced that
in consequence of the injunction the
play would not be produced then, but
promised it would be given this even
ing. In future history of Maryland
equity, this will no doubt be looked
upon as celebrated case"
Washington's birthday was observ-
ed here to some extent, but owing to
the unfavOrable weather many antici-
pated joys were not realized.
With a "heart bowed down." we
are, without hesitation, SHADDIE.
