duced last night at the New York Aquarium. This
establishment. besides its marine attractions.
become the home of parlor opera. The perform
ance last evening creditable in every respect 1t
may appear to some that the management was
pretentious in attempting to produce a stan
dard work with such limited stage accommo-
da.ions. but the performance OF "Pinafore
showed that the resources of the company were
equal to efforts of higher order. The opera
well received by the audience tho favorite airs
being encored Mr.. Tilla was in good voice and
sang his conscientiously. Miss Harvey
also deserves praise for her rendition Of Airline
Miss Hutchings as the Gypsy Queen was very good
she having voice OF considerable compass. The
scenery and appointments were q great improvement
previous efforts at the Aquarium and the chorus
had evidently been well drilled. Altogether the
performance creditable and affords pleasant
entertainment.

MIR. DAILY yesterday presented for his matinee per-
formancc play that las not been hcre for six
ycarsone OF the famous works of victorien Sardou.
1t may be said at tho outset that from beginning
to end, 1t was an artistic picture In
tho French the play has several features
that might be regarded as Objectionable
but in the translation all the bad points have been
deodorized. and the piece contains offence. The
play illustrates the passion with which Jealous,
hard-hearted woman ungoverncd by moral princi-
pie. would avonge wrong to her affections.
opportunity is thus afforded for the display of
excellent Character acting The part the Countess
Clothilde Mrs Helen Blythe) is perhaps the strong
est in the piece md to IL comes the admirable
delneatlon of Miss Ada Rehan, who, as Pomerol's
wife, repeated her former artistic successes Miss
May Fielding Fernando is likewise deserving
of praise. although she appeared for the moment
under obvious disadvantages. MIR. Charles Leclercq,
MS the Commandeur Jarbi deficient in the
earlier in warmth of feeling but the play
progressed developed his fine command Of force

cast do not call for special criticism at this time.

Th0 Chief snake story.
Atkinson Patriot
Mr.. j. II. BeesOn, the well known
Central Branch contractor. gave the
PatriOt . pleasant call this morning.
and from him Ne learn the particulars
Of the most remarkable snake story
We have heard. In the extension Of
the Central Branch road from Bsloit
to Cawker City, the line passes
through the town Of Glen Elder. A
short distance from Glen Elder. On
the Solomon river. is q steep and
rocky bluff, about 81 feet high. .
large portion Of which has to b
blasted away tn make room for the
road bed. A few days ago. while the
excavation was in progress. . blast Of
nitro-glycerine caps and giant powder
tore % an unusually large part Of the
bluff. and down the declivity there
came writhing and rolling q bunch Of
snakes. which Mr.. Beeson assures Us
was almost as large as q barrel. They
we're of different varieties. rattlesnakes
pre,lominating. with racers. adders.
garter, etc. When FIRST disturbed
from their warm bed they were active
and dangerous. but coming out into
the severe cold they were >.Ou COM
paratively harmless, and were killed
By the men without much trouble. or
covered up in the dump Of earth and
stone. But this is a very email
porti,n Of the story. Every day and
every blast, since this FIRST batch
appeared, has brought another huge
bundle of these reptiles. Every hour
a moving. writhing lump comes roll
ing down the hills, only to separate at
the foot, and what escape the laborer's
shovel and pick, crawl Of to get
covered up in the dump. Thousands
of them have been unearthed and
killed, aud every blast brings thou
sands more, far rivaling in number
the famous snake den Of Concordia.
Not a single case Of snake bite has
yet occurred. notwithstanding it is
many times almost impossible to avoid
stepping ON them. Mr.. Beeson says
there are no unusual monsters among
them, the great majority being rs
large around as a mans wrist, and
about three or three and q half feet
long. He also says that the farmers
for FIVE miles around tell him that
