The Hsverly colored minstrel party
were greeted BY a fine audience last
night. The upper tier was packed.
the family circle, or balcony, next be-
low. was crowded, one side with white
and the other with cOlored people,
while the dress circle and parquette
were comfortably filled, many ladies
grazing the occasion with their pres
once. II was a gathering we'll c%alcula-
ted to make glad the hearts Of the
managers and all concerned in tho
exchequer of the establishment aud
the troupe. The performances were
received with high favor, being Of the
most entertaining and.smusing nature
throughout. When the curtain rolled
up twenty-four performers were visible
on the stage, arranged in a picturesque
group with ten comic or end men at
the front of the stage, facing the
audience. What is known in min
strelsy as the clio portion of the
entertainment was fresh and
novel, interpreted with rich music,
sweet songs and mirth provoking
cOmicalities. The comedians of the
party are numerous, and their special
features are exceedingly varied, and
their antics in many of their acts were
so irreSistibly funny, that the entire
audience were at times convulsed with
laughter. The singing Quartette is ex-
ceedingly fine, and far superior to that
ofthe Great Mastodon minstrel troupe
which visited US under the Haverly
management last season. The present
troupe is made up from the star per-
formers in the late Calender or Geor-
gia minstrel party, with others possess
ing real merit in their profession, all
genuine colOred folks, reared in South.
ern lands. They appear again tonight
and close their engagement tomorrow
night. In this connection it may be
we'll to revert to the theater's rich and
and beautiful improvements. The
entire structure has undergone a
transformation, and it is now exquis-
lite to behold. The new opera chairs
are neat and comfortable, similar in
style to those in use in modern
theatres in eastern cities. The drop
curtain, representing the late
emperor Maximillian's Austrian
hsme, is a picture most
attractive and full of instruction,
while the frescO ornamentation, the
new carpets and other decorations all
go to make up a most delightful resort
for a play-gOing people to pass a
pleasant evening. There is no prettier
theater in the country at present than
ours, and the people may expect to
witness within its walls an extensive
list Of m~eritorious theatrical attrac-
tons between now and the close of the
spring season.

Under The Crust.

The reporter was passing down North
Commercial street, last evening, looking
out, as usual, for bits OF news. Across
| the street, sitting on the edge of the side
| walk, with tattered dress, bare head and
shoeless feet, was a little girl about nine
years old, crying as though her heart
would break if the bitter tears did not
o'erflow. Attracted by anything unusual,
the reporter paused moment. in doubt
whether to go to her or not. But in that
brief lapse of time entered another man
upon the stage, and his coming, as it
proved, rendered the scene all the more
complete. His face, eyes, garments, be-
tokened the drunkard-One who thirsted
after drink, and whose lips were always
parched. Rough booking tough he
was, close observer might detect some
thing that bore faint resemblance to
the man he used to be. Staggering
along, scarcely able to keep on the walk,
he approached the spot where sat the
child. His dull ears caught the sound OF
sobs, his footsteps were arrested, and nix
ing his eyes ON the still weeping girl, he
reeled toward her side, bent over her, aad
with thick tongue asked why she y ept
The reporter stood near, and watched the
contact of tsese two wretched beings
with no little interest. In answer to that
rough mans inquiry the child replied
that her mother had driven her out Of
home-had followed her with curses and
blows ont of the only door that had ever
opened to her, and that she was afraid to
go back.
''Have you fathell" he asked.
mo, sir; but, oh | wished papa was
here: he was so good and kindr'
''When did he dielr
"a good while ago, sir; and mother
says he died drup ard; but he was al
ways kind to me, and | loved him."
What was there in that childs voice
that moved tins man to soberness?
He sat down at Der side, put
around her his great strong arm. pressed
her pinched face to bis breast, and who
can tell what be- thought or what be suf-
fered as the sealdlng tears burst from
his eyes and rolled down his bloated
cheeksl He treated that feeble girl with
all tenderness, be reeled no more; her
story had restored the man within him

How the Women Were Saved al
Beaufort.

A Beaufort on. O. correspondent of
the New York Herald furnishes an &C.
count of the saving of the female guests
of the Atlantic Hotel, IN that town, which
was entirely destroyed by the recent great
storm. At five o'clock in the morning
the guests commenced to leave the
doomed building, and at that time the
bridge connecting the hotel with the bill
lard-roOm was a wreck, the waves beat
ing from two to three feet above the walk.
The male guests. with the help of the
good citizens of the town, secured the
walk with ropes and commenced to save
the women. The first woman 10 be car
ried out was Miss Gales, of Raleigh, N. c.,
daughter of the late Seaton Gales, about
thirteen years old. Two gentlemen would
take charge of a lady, and together they
would-under the most perilous circum-
stances, the wind blowing a gale and the
waves dashinR with the utmost fury
against them-make their way to the bill
liaid-saloon, and then the ladies would
go through to be received at the northern
door by two more gentlemen, who were
up to their waists in water, and thence
they would be taken to terra firma. Near
ly three-fourths of the guests were either
ladies or children. The children were
nearly all saved by a oolored boatman
named James Davis, and Jim tells with
great gusto that Governor Jarvis has
promised that he shall never go to Peni-
Tertiary as long as he is Governor. There
is not relic of the building left, except
the remains of one chimney, and that is
not three feet above the ground.

A Jewish Rabbits Opinions.

DIR. Kleeberg, the Jewish rabbi in New
Haven. Conn, who breaches in the Court
street Synagogue, was visited, Wednesday
morning. with reference to the council of
the union of American Hebrew congrega-
tions now in session in New York. The
rabbi said that he took very little interest
in the council, and all he knew about it
he gained from the New York papers.
There WAS no representative present from
this city, DIR. Keeberg said, and he even
doubted if single New England state
was represented Yet he read that the
attendance represented two-thirds of the
200 American Hebrew Congregations IN
the country. A. one time DR.. Kleeberg

He took the child across the street to a
bakery, and saw that she was fed. He
gave her some pieces of silver for future
use and then was seen TO recross the street
and go with the girl toward her home.
The reporter was willing to grant that
with such mediator, reconciliation
would surely follow, and, more than this,
he felt sure that that the angel in that
man was so much larger and naturally
stronger than the evil one, that some ho-
ly Influences would yet combine to save
him. Nobility OF heart and soul belongs
TO God, wherever it NAV be found; and
it is frequently discovered just under the

Cured by Faith-Perhaps.

A singular belief in the exercise OF
spiritual faith and power to cure physical
ailments has come to notice in Saratoga
county, N. Y. The episode happened In
West Galway, a small hamlet OF 300 popu-
latIOn in the extreme western part of Sara
tOga county. The inhabitants are princi-
pally farming people exceedingly igno-
rant and far removed from any city. The
region is mountainous and sterile. -Four
years ago, Adele Shattuck, a young lady
IS years old, became paralyzed from the
effects of a nervous attack caused by hear
ing of the sudden and accidental death of a
brother to whom she was greatly attached.
She went into commissions; was in coma
tOse condition for several days and when
her mind recovered its normal condition
she could neither talk nor use her limbs
from the effects of Iaraletic stroke.
During four years this condition was I'M
changed, her body gradually wasting I'M
til the skin was drawn tightly over the
bones and the flesh seemed a milky or
cream color. Miss Shattuck was mem
Der of the Methodistchuich. She has,
since her prostratIon, persisted in beliey
ing that she would be restored to health,
and expressed her faith in the efficacy OF
prayer to accomplish that purpose. Three
weeks ago, after being totally helpless
during the four years, as stated, and re-
garded as incurable, the young lady
walked down stairs and informed her
wonder-strlcken parents that she had
been cured in answer TO prayer. Since
then her limbs have gradually become
strong and plant. Last week, at her re-
quest, the clergy and the members of the
three churches in West Galway met at
Shattuck's and held meeting for the es-
pecial purpose of prayer for spiritual
power to enact further cure in this young
persons case, and enable her to have re-
stored the power of speech. Miss Shat
tuck soon began singing and talking.
The case is vouched for, as above, by the
village folks, one of whom related it to
the writer. The physicians believed her
to have been rendered helpless for life

count. A plot had been laid to murder
him, and the murderer lay hid in his cas-
tie through the day. Before going to
bed he drew some things from his pock-

did not notice. That night the murder
er entered the bedroom, but stepped on
the nut, which in breaking cracked loud
enough to wake the count, and the muir

was mere accidentl In God is providence
