"RoMEo AND JULlEr."- THE celebrated
young actress, Miss Mary Anderson, will
appear at the Opera House tonight in this
favorlte piece. OF Miss Anderson's juliet
the Nashville american says:
The sentiment portrayed by Miss Ander.
son is her own creation. 1t cannot be
called the warm, voluptuous passion OF the
hot-blooded Italian. tbs fervent, deeper,
purer and nobler than our conception Of
the burning passion, bred OF hot sun and
burning skies, and It iitly and naturally
deepens into the proiounder devotion Of
the wife, the deeper, intenser grief. It Is
Q noble idea, with 10 gross realism to mar
the chaste and holy sentiment.
In tho tragiCal scenes Miss Anderson
has acquired that lofty calmness in the
profoundest passion which makes some Of
her situations OF thrilling intensity. A
soft word wrung out OF deep distress
measures Its powers, and shudder shakes
her frame and thrills the audience, low
whisper dies away with soft vanish into
silence, trembling like lute-string be.
ncatha master hand, breathing out deep
sentiment. The passion is portrayed in the
most effective manner whore she Is first
overwhelmed With the news OF Romeo's
death. Tho stunning blow crushed the
young wiie, benumbing and chilling, and
Us she recolls and covers beneath the
stroke the power Of the actress appears in
the calmness Of despair, and fitly bursts
forth when Punishment, not death, isthe
woe to be endured. It was grand exhi.
bition OF emotion. The parting scene was
ono Of deem passion finely portrayed, and
tho treatment Of the "County Paris" In
the "Friar's" cell was finely enacted
piece OF concealed loathing and scorn.

BRlouT ENTHUSIASTICALLY was as
lorelya day, in every way, us could be
desired for this latitude Rt'thls SEASON al
the year. Old Sol warmed up to his wort,
and shone with unusual splendOr, and the
atmosphere was as balmy rs In April. The
fine weather brought out many Who have
kept themselves comfortably housed dur.
ing the winter, and the streets presented
u more animated appearance than for
many weeks past. There was but one
drawback to the thorough enjoyment oil
the bright sunshine and pleasant atmos-
PhRre, qnl that was THO miserable condi.
ton Of tho streets aud crossings. The
paVcments, too, in many portions of the
pity, arc sNdly ont Of repair, and are not
much OF an Improvement OH the streets.
In word, the day is most appropriately
described by the old but apt quotation,
delightful over head but miserable under
IOOt.

Ti1is MORNINGS FiRE.-At 1850 O'Clock
this morning an alarm oifire was sounded
from the Guards Hose House, In the Fifth
Ward, The bell rang for frIiy fiye min.
,rtes before the alarm became general, and
some time, too long entirely, elapsed be.
fore IN engine made is appearance
The IRE proved TO be located at the
photograph gallery otWm. Myles, No. 1854
Main street, a few doors north Of 22d
street: Although within two squares loi
the United engine house, the Atlantic
steamer was tho fSt to arrive on the
ground. The United came d few moments
later, and the Vigilant the last OF ali.
Were the hostlers sall asleep that they
did not hear the bells, and make better
tlmer The Hardness OF the Department
IN responding to thecall was severity com.
mented upon In the crowd which gathered
about the burning building,
The flames spread rapidly, and within q
few moments the entire building, frame
structure, was burning brightly. II YVES
quite evident, owing to the Iate arrival of
the engines, that the building was
doomed. The fire was first dis
covered by Nightwatchman Out, who
at once gave the alarm, and SUM
moned number Of the neighbors to his
assistance. A hose from the Guards house
was procured and q stream OF water
thrown on tho flames, but It was power
less to check the advance OF the fire
ticnd.
The building was owned by Mr.. VIM.
Myles, and occupied by him as a photo.
graph gallery and residence, and BY Mrs.
Eliza Heller rs a confectionery. The orr.
gin Of the fire Is unknown, and those who
were first on the gaound differ widely al 10
the first location OF the flames, some plac-
Ing 1t in Myles' part OF the building, and
Others in that part occupied by Mrs. Hell
fer. Mr.. Myles says that he was in he'd.
aud was startled by discovering that his
house was wrapped IN flames lie jumped
hastily from bed, and with his family sue
ceeded In getting out oil right, although
the roof fell in upon them as they lett.
But little was saved from the building,
even the clothing Of the family being con.
sumed. Mr.. Myles had large stock OF
pictures, frames and artists materi.
ais, which were all burned, with his
furniture and household goods. He had
no insurance on either the building, stock
or furniture, and the whole will be q total
loss. There had been some insurance on
the house and picture frames, but the poll.
cies had expired and their renewal neg.
lected. The loss, which will amount to IN
the neighborhood Of 5000, will fall very
severely upon Mr.. Myles, and he has the
sympathy Of the entire community in his
atfliction.
Mrs. Hclfer's stock of coniectioneries
and household goods were almost entirely
destroyed, and are total loss to tho lady,
h0ing uninsured.
BY the efforts Of the Fire Department,
the fire was gotten under control and Its
further advance checked, although the
brick buildings on either side were slight
ly damaged,
