A New IOEA OF CosJUGiL FIDxLIrY.-
The following dialogue is reported to
have taken pace in lawyers office,
somewhere between Maine and Calitor'
MIA. An Irishwoman enters the office
and says:
"rd loik one of them divorces.
Lawyer-"On what grounds?"
Woman-"Michsel is very brutal to
me; he scolds the very life out Of me-
and kicks the cat"
Lawyer-"Good evidence for the cat
if she was married to your husband but
good for nothing for you. Can't you
think of something elsep ?"
woman-"I don't think Mike is quite
faithful 10 me. How would that do9"
Lawyer-"That would do finely
What evidence have youp"
Woman-"Well, Idont know what ye
call evidence, but I've had q suspicion
for long time that Nike sOd' not the
father Of my last child"
A new revelation in copjugal inhdelity.

The Georgia Nin>i. els.

This famous troupe has just finished a
most successful trip up the willamette val
ley and on Puget Sound, playing nightly to
crowded houses. They will appear here on
Friday night, Dee. 9th, without fail. The
Georgia Mnstrels lately recognized upon
a novel and what has proven most satisfac-
tory plan have been winning golden opinions
wherever they have appeared. The Napa
Register says: Every chair had been en-
gagged before the opening of the entertain
ment, and before the evening was over the
house was literally packed, several ladies
being obliged to stand, not having taken
the precaution to purchase reserved seats.
From beginning to end the undivided atten-
tion of the large audience was held, every
body laughing as they seldom if ever did
before. Every piece on the programme was
good; the music was fine, the banjo playing
exceptionally so. Many OF the songs sung
were in that plaintive and wierd strain pc
cuiar to the colored race and which one
does not often hear, No one who heard
MARY had a Little Lamb, spoken by that
broad mouthed, big-lpped end man, will
ever forget his serio-comical appearance.
Bob Macks Fiery Untamed Steed' was
one of the greatest hits of the evening.
Callender's quartette was recalled twice,
singing among other pieces Good Night, "
in beautiful manner Other actors were
recalled frequently, and the troupe must
have seen that their efforts to amuse were
thoroughly appreciated by their Napa au-
dience'
This troupe will apper at Brant's hall ON
Friday evening They will doubtless have,
as they deserve, a full house.

The Cascade boat came down Saturday Gov

The Vancouver hotels are nightly crowded,

The first entertainment q ven by this or
ganlzaton at Fort Vancouver having been
such complete success, the second in their
course OF the winters amusements was GER
tainly looked forward to with much eXpec-
tation, and perhaps fear on the part of a few
persons, for it is not in every community
that clever amateur artists can fill the crit-
cal requirements of the cultivated ear when
scientific attainment must be added to talent
to make even passable entertainment. 1t
was apparent Immediately upon the opening
that all such fears were groundless and the
concert proceed as smoothly as though the
participants had always been thus engaged
The soprano singers participating We're
Mrs Downey, Mrs. Ebstein, and Miss How
ard. Alto-Mrs. Guard and Miss Nckels
Tenor-Col L. C.. Mason and Mr. A. w.
Gray. Bass-Capt Sladen, Lieut.. Rheem,
and Capt J. T. Gray. The responsible po-
sition of Musical Director was assigned to
Lieut.. +. II. Z. Ebsten, who filled the place
equally well whether his score was before
him or flying into the orchestra pit on an
extra vigorous flash of his baton in a cres-
cendo movement. We opine that much of
the success of this affair was due to his ju-
dicious leadership. Mrs. Downey rendered
the difficult solo "Ah, Che Assorte," with
unexpected ease and vivacity, retiring amid
the vigorous applause of an audience that
was satisfied only with her second appear
ance without regard to programme. Mrs.
Ebsteins timdity at first interfered with
her rendition of "'rhe Nightingales Trill, "
which, worn off, opened to us knowledge of
the fact that she has an excellent voice of
great capability, and no one can say that
she did not fairly earn the hearty applause
given her at its conclusion. Mrs. Guard ac-
quilted herself in her usual creditable man
ner, the Robert tot que jaime of Meyer
beer being no more difficult for her than the
role of charming widow, or any other
charming celebrity The Messrs. Gray sang
with the usual confidence and success of
practiscd vocalsts. The choruses We're well

Prouly took a souse in the Willamette the
day before, as follows: Yesterday after
noon as the steamer Iurine was swinging

a bclated passenger, Mr.. Isadorc ProulX, a
citizen of that place, came running down
the dock to jump on board. In running
down the slip, over which wheat was scat
tered, his feet slipped and he glided into the
river The wheel passed within few feet
of his head, the waves throwing him against
a pile, to which he chung like a harnacle.
The steamer backed mp, and after consider
excitement and lapse OF about ten minutes,
he was hauled ON board thoroughly i'm
