Company at the Opera House SATURDAY.
EveniDg-What st. Paul Thought of Miss
Phillips and Tom Karl Four Years a go.
Tomorrow, Saturday, evening the Adeloide
Phillips Opera and Concert company will ap-
pear at the Opera House in an operate concert,
rendering the second act of Martha and part
OF the second act and the fourth act of I'll
Trovatore.' Seats can be reserved this morn
ing at the box office Of the Opera House at 8
o'clock. When Miss Phillips last appeared in
this city four years ago local paper spoke as
follows of the entertainment:
10 say that the antlcipations of the music

the Opera House would but poorly express
their sentiments. While to state that they
were far exceeded would not be an exaggeration.
to feast far beyond their calculations Of
Miss Phillips, nothing but words of unequivo-
cal praise can be said. She does not appear to
have parted with single element of the
beauty of her splendid voice. 1t is still pure,
rich, liquid, flexible and full, and certainly her
execution Is Tar from being impaired In the
slightest degree. Her first solo number,
Gonnod s Sweet Flower song, was handled with
great delicacy and beauty, and elected a
merlted encore, which acknowledged by an
exquisitely beautiful rendition of Faustina
Hodges touching little ballad, The Rosebud
Covers Marguerite, her second solo number, is
ballad of quaint construction, and was
worked up by the fair artist in glorious style,
quite overcoming the audience, which de-
manded temperance, and was rewarded with
most naive and coquettish Interpretation Of
Coming Through the Rye
LON Karl astonished even those who expected
most. He has remarkably sweet and flexible
tenor OF a de grazia quality, and could not but
remind one OF Brignoli in his best days. Sing
ing without exertion, he executed the most
rapid passages with faultless accuracy and
splendid finish while he reached his higher
tones with an ease and beauty that left nothing
to be desired. He is indeed great tenor. and
worthy the great fame he has acquired"

BY late compilation of de ath statistics in

over 20 years, between May, 1s43, and
December, 1877, inclusive, died in that
State, the average age being 81. The stats
tics show some odd facts and would seem to
overthrow the popular idea of the healthful-
ness of some and the unhealthfulness of
other kinds of business, as, for instance, we
find the average age of saloon-keepers Al,
and of teachers 80, while clerks average but
26. Soldiers, baggage masters, engineers

THE HOUSE.

Yesterday in the House was uneventful
save for the appointment of the standing
committees for the session. The Speaker
received the closest attention while reading
the list AS there were only SO committees
and total of LOG members, the Speaker
found it impossible to give every Represent
alive craftsmanship, and consequently there
was not little dissatisfaction. Most of the
disappointed ones contented themselves with
expressing their modification with glum
looks, but few found vent for their indig-
nation by muttered curses, and for few
minutes after the session closed the cloak
rooms We're sulphurous. The custom here
tofore observed of placing the Democrats at
the tail of the committee kites was departed
from, and they were we'll distributed over
the body of the committees, which didn't
seem to suit the more rabid Republican
partisans.
large number of local bills were intro
duced, and few of them passed under
| suspension of the rules. There was less de-
| bate than usual, and fewer captious objec-
tons to the measures up for consideration
very gratifying indication that the good
advice of the GLOBE has not been thrown
away. 1t begins to look as if the wheels of
the machine would soon be thoroughly
creased, and III good running order.

THE SENATE.

auotuef Gay OF. Ialr business activity was
witnessed in the Senate yesterday, and sew
eral measures of interest and Importance
we're brought up for consideration. Adj
ditional committees and additions to the
committee heretofore announced were ap-
pointed, among which were committee on
the geological and natural history survey of
the State, committee on temperance and the
committee which is to quiet, it is hoped, the
apprenenslons of an anxious public by in
quiring into matters at the State prison.
The matter eliciting the most genuine in
terest among Senators since the morning of
organization was the appointment of jani-
tor for the committee rooms. Parliamen-
tary tactics we're invoked without stint and
amendments, substitutes and amendments
to amendments few about in lively man
ner for few minutes. The excitement
was brought to close by the election of
Edwin Pau'son to that responsible position
by vote of rs ayes, and for the remainder
of the session he will enjoy substantial emol-
uments to the extent of $50 per day. If
there is anything that the average politician
truly delights in it is the election, and con.
sequent defeat, of somebody for Office.
Senator E. NJ. Wilson introduced a bill re-
latlng to homestead exemptions, which de-
lines with some degree of accuracy what
real estate shall be exempt from execution,
to-wit: Eighty acres of farm land, or one
half of an acre of land in town or village
OF less than 5000 inhabitants, or one-fourth
OF an acre of land in towns and cities of
more than 5000 inhabitants. Hitherto the
term s'lot'' has been considered too vague
and indefinite for lawyers to feel safe in
levylng upon lot of any size when claimed
as homestead.
Senator Castles bill relating to liens for
labor performed on logs is substantially a
re-eIactment of an act passed upon the
same subject in 1870 and repealed by the
legislature of 1876. It gives to lumbermen
who have labored on logs the first lien, be-
ing prior claim to supply bills or anything
else except stumpage.
Senators Rice and Rahilly each introduced
bills prescribing methods of weighing and
grading wheat and other grains, the latter of
which is given at length elsewhere.

full text of which we give for the informa-
ton of our readers.
Senator Williams introduced bill pro-

committee on temperance and prohibition
with due solemnity.
