quested to give notice that as the placing of the
German on the programme for tomorrow even
ing will necessitate prompt com mencement of
the same at = O'Clock, all those desiring to take
tea at the hall can be accom- mod ated at any
time after 6 O'clock. Loose flwers, smilax,
button-hols and hand bouquets will be for sale
at the ball at reasonable prices, and no forced
sales made, the object being simply to accom-
modate those who attend and wish for the
same. The indications point to very large
and delightful entertainment, and the desire to
witness the celebrated German, in connection
with the other attractions, seems to grow in
strength as the time draws near. The order of
dances is superb, consisting of eighteen num-
bers, among which are the fancy dancfs, six
plain quadrilles and two contra dances. Special
music will be furnished by Chandler for most
of the dances, including Fraternity "Mother

The ORIGIN OF EvIL.-rhe Rev. Mr..
Smythe preached to full audience at the New
Jerusalem church yesterday morning on this
subject, taking for his text "rhs Serpent be-
guiled me-" &c. The origin of evil is the same
today as then. The Lord is guiding US to
heaven; Adam represents the spiritual plane on
which his Influence is exerted Eve represents
the earthly plane on which we act from our
selves; and the serpent represents the sensual
plane whence our Temptations come.

The Gar and zimmerman.

The most complete amateur performances
ever placed upon the boards in this city was
the Gar and Zimmerman, at the Athenaum.
on Sunday evening. The opera is well-known
to st. Paul, having been presented three times
last season, and although on those occasions
the performance was considered in every re-
spect excellent, those who attended the last
performance and the former ones, say that this
incomparably surpassed the others. There was a
completeness of detail, excellence of costum-
ing. scrupulous attention to properties, and
brilliance and appropriateness of scenery sell
dom equaled on the professional boards. In
the choruses and support there was everything
that might be desired, and the leading charac-
tiers sustained their roles with surprising even
ness and self possessed ease. MIR. A. Scheffer
was excellent III stage business, graceful in
movement and dignifed in carriage He sang
his numbers well and with great ease. Mr..
Giesen is always good, but on Sunday evening
he surpassed himself and was ap-
plauded in every scene. The
| ladies were not less happy in
their efforts, which seemed no effort to them at
all. Miss Faber was especially good and divided
with Messrs. Scheffer Giesen the honors of the
evening. The ship scene twas very effective
and realistic. There was not noticeable to the
same extent, the defects recorded
upon the production of the Armorer,
and indeed SO few and 30 trivial were
these, that friendly eye would not see such
sional stage. It appeared that the whole dra-
mats persona, with choruses and orchestra
completely reveled in the spirit of the play
for dear love of 1.-THE opera suits them, and
they suit the opera. and it is to be hoped the,
will repeat it.
