"M1ss MUTTON" AT THE GRAND.

"M1ss MUTTON" AT THE GRAND.
That sign which carries gladness to the
hearts of managers, but is something of a
disappointment to late corners at the thea
ter, standing Room Only" was exhibited
at the Grand Opera-house last night for the
first time this season. The box-sheet indi-
Gates that it will appear right along, and
persons who are anxious to see the great
actress who has received such cordial vel
come should not fail to secure seats at once.
Miss Morris health is so much improved
that she stands the hard work of such play
quite well. She will appear every night
this week and at the matinee Saturday af-
ternoon. Saturday night the Olympic
Company will give benefit for the yellow
fever sufferers.
''sTRADELLA" AT Pixies.
The repetition of the opera of "stradella'
at Pixies Opera-house Thursday evening fol
the benefit of the Southern Orphan Fund
should draw full house, and doubtless
will. The elegant rendering of the opera
last week gives assurance of a delightful en-
tertainment Thursday evening.
GRAND CENTRAL THEATER.
The Grand Central is doing big business
this week. The performance is undoubt
edly one Of the best that has been put OF
the boards of the "Old Drury" for severa
wears. 1t begins with serio-comic vocalisms
by Miss Annie Boyd; then comes Mis-
Nellie Clarke, in her celebrated athletic
sports; Miss Allie Smith, in her artistic
songs and dances and champion jig; there
are very few lady dancers equal to Mis-
Smith. The triple statue clog, by the Searle9
Brothers, is immense. The Springers, iI
their cat duet, are very fine and alone wortl
seeing. John Kelley, the Irish comedian
is so we'll known that it is unnecessary t.
speak in his favor.
The performance concludes with Titt
Cellini's European Burlesque Combination
with Pauline Markham in Selma, tn,
Pretty Pirate" The piece is avery pleas
ing one, full of wit and well rendered
Miss Markham appears to good advantage
and is we'll supported. The ballet dancing
is the principal feature and receives goot
deal Of applause.

THREE MISSIONARIES EATEN UP

Their Towns Destroyed.

From the Melbourne Argus, Oct. 81
Intelligence has been received
from the Island of New Britain OF
the massacre, on April 10. OF three
native Wesleyan mission agents,
who were set upon and murdered
aud their bodies eaten by the noun

lands, the new colony of FIJI,

Eight of the teachers had ex.
pressed their wish aud determine
tiOn to visit the interior tribes oi
New Britain. They divided into
two bands, IN order to cross the Is.
land at different parts. Four OF
them started from Blanche Bay,
aud the other four made the north
ern side of the island their point OF
departure. The Blanche Bay party
returned next day to their point OF
departure.
The other four teachers also
reached the plateau In safety, inter.
viewed the natives, and were enter
tatned for the night in one of the
towns. A chief named Tal,li, who
lived on the lowland, but who had
influence in the Interior, sent a
message to the town in which the
unfortunate teachers were lodged
for the night, beseeching the tribe
to kill them. When the doomed
men left The village the next morn.

upon all whom they met working
in the Plantations by the way TO
join them in the deed of blood, ut
length fell upon the unarmed, un-
Suspicious teachers. and slew them
in n savage fashion.
The bodies were cut up and the
pieces sent here and there to the
different towns, where they were
cooked and eaten with cannibal Ger.
emony and delight. The object Of
thus distributing the bodies was to
mplicate a large number of towns
in the ma-sacre-a customary de.
vice OF savag-s. The Rev. Mr.
Brown, on hearing of the massacre,
adopted very severe reprisals, the
character of which on the part uf a
missionary has been variousiy
commented OH by the Australian
rress. An expedition was forth
with organized, aud the result of
the rpprisals was that at least fifty,
possibly more, Of the cannibals
were killed, and many of the towns

IT is o somewhat curious clrcum-

pealed every year to the Supreme
Court OF California exceeds those
carried before the appellate tribu-
nails of the Kingdom of Great

the most marked popularity of lit.

at the outside, not more than thirty
judges are required to administer
