EUREKA OPERA HOUSE.
An Enjoyable Evening with Joshua
WbffcOmb.

The Opera House was filed again with
a pleased and appreciative audience last
evening, and we noticed that a major part
Of them we're there who attended in the
first representation. Once is not enough
Of Uncle Josh. The subtle humor that
pervades his acting, the irresistible, unique
flavor of a representation that belongs to
the farm, this delightful old fellow. at
whom we laugh and make merry, is touch
Of nature itself, and we forget the charac-
terization in the reality of the portrait.
We doubt il there was a New E%nglander in
the audience-and we know Of several
who did not recognize the fidelity and
truthfulness of the sketch. There is very
little in the way of plot, and in fact moth
ing in the piece but Joshua Whitcomb.
But he is a very different parsonage, and
very few care for either piece or plot as
long as he is before them. Whether in
Boston, running to fires, in the parlor with
the fine company, or, better still, at his
own home in the New Hampshire hills, he
is still the same loveable Uncle Josh, who,
in spite of all his oddities and dialect, the
kiOntI anu uaNOi vi II nOA ~ RtOBAt
among whom he has grown up, he is at
heart the sterling honest fellow, the stuff
out Of which good citizens and patriots are
made, and we are satisfied without his tel
ling us, that his gran tner fit in the Revo-
luton. There is something more than
laughter-provoking caricature in this CELL
trail figure. A vein OF lender sentiment, q
current Of pathos unexpectedly develops
itself, and while the whole house is indulg-
ing in uproarious mirth, a sudden hush
falls upon it. The little incident of the
four sons. three Of whom went to the front
during the rebellion, and did not come
back until they were brought by the father
and laid in the graves in the meadow, the
scene by the dying mothers bedside, al
though it had q most ludicrous termina-
ton, and the old mans heart-broken sor-
row over his son Reuben's fall, these were
incidents that subdued the audience and
brought the tears of sympathy to many an
eye. We are slightly enthusiastic over the
play, but not more SO than any one who
has witnessed it. 1t is a clear cut delinea-
ton of an actual, real character, as breezy
as the maple woods, defined by as delicate
lights and shades as ever fell across the
rugged hills amidst which it had its
growth. awkward and out of place in city
life and scenes, but to the manor born in
its New England home. The stage Yam
kee of the Florences', Williams, Hills
and Owens is but an exaggeration OF nasal
speech and fancied traits, while Whitcomb
is a production Of the soil, a down Easter
as he may be found even at this date on
the slopes Of the White Mountains and
valleys of the Connecticut. Go and see
him if you have any desire to be amused
and witness true art, art that is Daturc it,
self. Tonight is the last performance, and
hope our appreciative people viii fill
the theatre.

A WEIRD EFFECT.
Blowing Out of the Clay Front of g
Smelling Furnace.

There are some weird effects produced in
and about our smelling furnaces, and al
though common enough to old residents,
the displays at night are sometimes very
fascinating to the visitor and stranger.
About IL o'clock Saturday evening last, at
a time when the lowering storm clouds
palled everything in intense darkness, and
one could not see a hands breadth before
him, n of the furnaces at the Richmond
commenced blowing out, an incident Of
common occurrence, and caused by the
destruction Of a portion OF the temporary
clay front used in front Of the smelter.
The fierce blast from the blower finds exit
at these openings, and impels the sulphur
Gus fumes from the ores into the open air.
Standing upon Buel street, one could note
the first faint tinge of blue, rapidly deep
ening and spreading until the mountain
was encircled with a halo OF CHASTITY light,
an unearthly color, that appertained to
nothing mortal. 1t was a revelation Of
hell fire, and the odor Of the atmosphere,
heavy laden with fumes, gave it a touch of
reality that would ave persuaded Beecher
that he was mistaken in his ~abrogation of
the internal regions, and induced him to
locate it at the head Of the canyon. The
effect was still further heightened by the
occasional dumping of a Stag pot, the
molten contents Of which would give forth
a bright glare, subsiding into a dull red,
and finally disappearing entirely, but while
il lasted, tinting the azure background
with orange, violet, green and other colors,
Of a beauty and delicacy that would have
driven an artist to dispair. The scene
lasted for twenty minutes, during which
time the sight was enjoyed by a number,
but by the end of that period the workmen
had succeeded in replacing the clay, and
all was again blaekness and darkness.

Onfside Audiences.

The outside patrons to the entertain
ments at the Opera House are almost as
numerous as those that throng the audito-
rum, and they gather ON Bateman and
Spring streets nightly. Although debarred
from witnessing the performances, they
hear every word that is spoken upon the
stage, and thus manage to extract consid-
cradle enjoyment from their attendance.
1t requires a vigorous and vivid imagina-
ton to mentally picture the characters
and situations, but they manage to do it,
and stick to their posts until the
theatre closes. There are no reserved seats
among these outside audiences, and they
are very democratic. Social distinctions
are unknown, and the eligible knot-holes
and cracks in the Notwithstanding are
monopolized by the strongest. On the
principle that stolen goods are the sweet
est, they probably derive more pleasure
from the occupancy Of their airy outposts
than the bloated ~aristocrats who pay a dol
lar for an inside view.

Tenaeious orIiCe.

The tarantulas mentioned as having been
sent to Clay Simms last week, nave been
sent to their final account, and are now
preserved in alcohol. The hairy monsters
were objects of great curiosity, and Clay,
fearing that in handling the glass jar in
which they were kept, some person might
be bitten. concluded to give them a spirit
bath. The tenacity of life exhibited by
them was wonderful. 1t was naturally ex-
pected that proof alcohol would kill them
almost instantaneously, but instead, al
though the pair were entirely submerged
in the fluid, they survived for a period Of
four hours, during which time they kicked
around as lively as if they were in their
natural element. Clay has a small one.
brought from Calaveras county, California.
that has been confined in a six-ounce vial
for nearly three months, and is Just as
sprightly to-day as when first captured.
He rejects all food. although provided with
tempting blue-bottle flies, and is a vicious
insect, ~resenting NIL familiarity, and vainly
endeavoring TO bite any one handling the
bottle. He is kept in the cabinet at the
Corner, and attracts considerable attention.

Cabin Robbed.

The cabin of Sim Dervis, q furnace
man at the Richmond, was plundered Sun
day night during the owners absence at
his work. The thief, c. thieves, made a
clean job of it, taking everything of value
ON the premises, including provisions,
clothes, a shotgun AMI a violin. Sim is
particularly enraged over the loss of the
latter, il being acherished instrument upon
which he was wont to while away his leis-
ure hours, and he says that he will for
give the robbers and allow them to retain
the balance OF the booty il they will but
return that one article. As no clue to
their identity exists, it is probable that the
unknown pilferers will keep the entire lot.

A Drawn battle.

A. recent trial in the Justices Court ut
Palisade, created a wonderful amount Of
amusement for the fun-loving people of
that burg. The defendant was a China
man, and his counsel, Judge. Hickey,
made a forensic effort in his behalf that is
described as a flight Of oratory quite be-
yond the powers of a Choate or a Webster.
The plaintiff, a native of the "Ould Sod
plead his own case, and done it with a Wig
or and ability that fairly COMPOUNDED his
antagonist. 1t was a sort of a drawn bat
tie, and the legal points developed on
either side were SO nearly balanced that
the suit resulted in a compromise, and
Judge Evans was spared the painful duty
Of deciding IN the merits of the case.

1t is a wonderful relief to the average
boy if he can only get to throw stones at
something. Any mark will do in an emer-
gency, but for pure unalloyed happiness
and genuine amusement there is nothing
like a live Ghinaman for a target. There
is a spice of danger in the diversion that
renders it fascinating, and the youths are
shrewd enough to know that the Celes-
tails dare not pursue them very far. and
seek refuge from pursuit on the busy
streets, where there are plenty OF white
men who will champion their cause against
the bloody heathen. A half a dozen
youngsters daily drive the barbarians dis
tracted by indulging in the above sport,
near the corner Of Clark and Monroe
streets. They are only working of their
surplus spirits, and "a the Cinnamon are
considered fair game, hence they go un-
molosted.

The two-horse team Of W. W. King. of
Ruby Valley, INDUCED in a serious run
away after dark last evening. while the
owner was driving up South Main street.
The neck yoke broke and let the tongue
down, frightening the team. They ran up
past the Richmond works, at which point
the wagon was upset, and Mr.. King thrown
out upon his head, cutting a cash several
inches in length. A Mr.. Langley, who was
in the wagon at the time, escaped unhurt.
The team kicked loose from the wagon,
but were caught up in the canyon. Mr..
King was brought to town, properly cared
for, and was able to be around a couple of
hours after the accident, and announced
his intention of leaving for home as soon
as the wagon and harness could be re-
pairpl.

THE OPENING NIGHT.
The Salisbury Trouba hours 80 I'm.
augurate the New Theater.

There will be o grand opening Of the
Opera House on Monday evening next, at
which time the Salisbury Troubadours viii
appear. Mr.. Bartlett will increase the
force Of workmen, and the improvements to
the stage will be commenced tomorrow
morning. The dress circle will be finished
by that time, and the cushioned seats
placed in position. OF the company who
are to appear, the Sacramento Bee contains
the following notice
A full and fashionable house last night
greeted the temperance Of Salsbury's de-
lightful little company, which, about a
year ago, found its way TO the good graces
Of Sacramento theater goers. There were
two new faces observable in the entertain
ment last night; Nat Salisbury himself,
who was prevented by sickness from APP
pearing when the troupe was here before,
and Miss Helen Grayson, who takes the
place Of Miss Blanch Corelli. Mr.. SAILS
bury is certainly entitled to the praise that
he has received all over the State as a
most pleasing comedy actor, inimitable in
his particular roles. Miss Grayson met
with a most cordial reception. The even
ing's entertainment opened with a
sparkling little comedy, entitled
1.-TWO Can Play at that Game"
which is entirely new in this city.
The dialogue is bright and the situations
most mirt~h-provoking, and taken in con-
junction with the charming bits of acting
done by Mr.. Nat. Salisbury as the husband.
Miss Nellie McHenry as the wife. and Mr..
John Webster as the friend. the audience
was kept in an almost continual roar. This
was followed by " Patchwork" with which
our readers are familiar. Miss McHenry,
as Betty Spider, il the same petite and
graceful flyabout, always throwing on the
calcium light when it is not wanted and
constantly destroying the effect Of Ham
let's finest passages by her pranLs. Her
song, I" Pretty as a Picture is certainly
the most taking thing we ever heard, but we
might suggest that she add some new songs
as we'll. Salsbury's imitation Of Joe JEFF
ferson's Rip Van Wrinkle, as a bit of char
acter, was excellent; for its truth as an
imitation we can not vouch, but having
been enthusiastically received in New York
and the Eastern cities, we infer that it
must be accurate. As the melancholy
Dane in the closet scene, Salisbury estab-
lished himself as the troupe's best card.
Mr.. John Gourlay's motto song, "All that
Glitters is Not Gold" though old, was we'll
sung, and called forth deserved applause.
Miss Grayson in operate selections was
likewise good. Truth to tell, there is not
a weak point in the company, and they
give a comedy entertainment that is en-
joyable in every particular.

AMMAN KrrLED IN cAnsoN.


ALE About n R0Ohsum1 Boy
From tho Virginia Chronicle of the 3d.l
A young man named Adams, aged about
81 years, whose mother is proprietress Of
the Adams House, in Carson City, was shot
and killed in that place by Professor r. A.
Clark, the music teacher, yesterday after
oon about 8 O'Clock. The particulars Of
the lamentable occurrence, as far al we
have been able to learn, are as follows A
younger brother Of Adams's belongs to a
gang Of bad boys in Carson, who have
been in the habit for some time of calling
Professor Clark ridiculous names upon the
street and annoying him in various ways.
On Saturday evening this boy, while yell
ing at the Professor, was caught by him
and caned. The deceased called upon
him and demonstrated with him, saying
that if his younger brother called him
names or otherwise troubled him to in
form him or his mother, and they would
punish him as he deserved, but that he did
not wish him to strike his brother. On
Sunday morning some one informed Pro-
fessor Clark that the elder Adams was
threatening to kill him, and afterwards
the younger brother met Clark and again
called him names. Professor Clark chased
him, but he managed to escape.
Clark then went to the Adams House,
and in the doorway met deceased coming
ont. Some words ensued, when 10th
drew their pistols and commenced shoot
ing. There vs. a doubt which fred first.
Adams was shot through the heart, and
as he fell underworld to discharge his
pistol again, whereupon he was shot a sec
ond time by Clark. Clark received q ball
in the calf Of his leg, which passed through
the limb and fell down inside his boot.
He Immediately gave himself up and is
now in prison.
The feeling in Carson City over the af-
fair is one Of general regret. The young
man killed was very much esteemed. Prof.
Clark is of a nervous disposition, very sem
sitive to ridicule upon his personal ap-
pearance, and the boys of Carson had some
time ago been notified through the press
to stop annoying him. The mother Of
young Adams received the intelligence that
her son had been shot and killed while she
was attending divine service, held by
Bishop Whitaker, and was completely over
come.
A gentleman who visited Professor
Clark in jail states that he is in the great
est distress and entirely broken down at
the fatal result Of the affair. He was for
merly a resident of this city, and has lived
in Carson but a few months.
