THE ADAH RICHMOND BURLESQUE
TROUPE.

Mention has been made in these columns
already of the intention of the Adah Rich
mond Burlesque Opera Troupe to visit Car
SON As will be seen by an advertisement i'll
another column, this much applauded troupe
of artists will occupy the stage of the Carson
Theatre on Monday and Tuesday evenings of
next week They will open in the splendid
extravaganza of Kenilworth. The play
goers of Carson were never more thoroughly
amused-if indeed, they ever were so favored
by taste of first-class comedy of the lyric
sort-as they will be by this Company in this
Operate farce. The whole piece is studded
thick with gems of music and wit, the situa-
tons are very brilliant and the costumery
handsome and attractive. The entire Cali
fornia press agree i'll pronouncing this Com
pany's production of "kenilworth' as the
very best they have ever had there. In all
respects this large and well appointed Troupe
is of the order of first-class.
WELL INsTRUCTED.-An innocent looking
citizen, Che belongs to the Congregational,
was asked to join three gentlemen in pleas
ant game of euchre. He asked for an explain
alton of the game for fear he might not be
able to make it sufficiently interesting to them
they being better acquainted with it. He was
told it was very simple, the main poi1Ss were
explained, value of the cards etc, and he was
assured he would pick it up with great ease
after hand or two He wished to be ex-
cused, but upon their insisting, concluded to
take a hand just to make up the four. The
gentleman opposite him dealt. The first gen
tleman on the left passed, when our hero.
calmly looking over his hand, said with the
greatest composure, 81 guess you had better
take it up, I'll go it alone" And he did 1t
is remarkable how some people learn when
they put their mind to it.
RETURNED FROM BoDIE. Yesterday Mr.
Geo Elders driver "Morg" arrived from Bo-
die. His departure hence, with an eighteen
mule team transporting parts of a quartz
mill for that camp was duly noted. He made |
the trip in fifteen days notwithstanding the |
fact that it took him six days of the time to |
reach Double Springs. He was four days |
making the return trip. Three weeks to Be-
die and back with a team of that size is not |
50 bad. 1t is needless to say that the roads |
are in terrible state and getting no better
very fast.
DIDN'T ASK FOR IT.-We heard yesterday
Of preacher who at one time resided in Ne
Vada, who was authority on the rules of whist.
He decided the knotty questions with the
greatest of ease. Some surprise being ex-
pressed he explained that he quoted from
work on the subject which he had purchased
II New York, adding, cit was the only book
ever bought without getting the usual
clerical discount, but hadn't the cheek to
lsk for it.
DIED OF HIS INJURIES. Day before yester-
lay man named Hugh McGregor, a native
# Canada, died at the Arlington House of
INJURIES received by him about a fortnight
ince while coming hither from a wood camp
n the mountains, on snow shoes. Somehow
egs, and death, as above stated, was the re-
ult Deceased was about twenty
ears of age.
PERSONAL old friend William Nicely
ohnson Esq of San Francisco, who has been
isiting Virginia City, let US see the light of
is countenance yesterday. Rather white of
oil is William, but has hearty, healthful
