Fatintfza by Adah Richmond.

AS may be seen in our advertising
comic opera artist, Adah Richmond,
supported by one of the best comic
opera troupes extant, will play three
nights engagement at Staub's Opera

entirely new, and immensely attract,

some of the leading papers. The fol-
lowing are excerpts from the Baltimore
Gazette criticising the company and
the opera;
A large and intelligent audience
greeted Miss Adah Richmond and
her company at The Holiday last night.
The first act was an agreeable sur
prise TO the audience. 1t can not be
denied that there was some skepticism
at the outset as to the ability of the
company TO properly render the charm.
ing opera. Before the first scene
ended the audience was assured and all
went well. Miss Richmond quilted
herself in the dual role of Vtadin1ir
and F.tinitEA with great credit. She
is a pleasing, graceful person, vi
vacious aud spirited enough in her
acting and free from the suggestive
ness which mars the performance OF
the majority OF the star bouffe
singers. There was at no time the
slightest approach to coarseness or
vuIgarity. Miss Richmond's voice.
albeit something of contralto, is rich
and flexible and strong. It is under
fine control. In the concerted song in
the harem she sustained herself quite
we'll and demonstrated her claims to
be considered an accomplished lyric
artist.
Tue scenes of the opera ars laid
along the Danube in midwinter and
offered opportunity for handsome
stage-setting. This feature was well
attended to, and the entire movement
of the piece showed the skillful hand
of Mr.. James Vincent, one of the hest
Stage managers in the country. Miss
Richmond and Miss Gerard both re-
ceived several recalls last night. The
charming march trio: "March F r.
ward Fearlessly," received a triple
encore, fairly carrying the house by
storm. On the whole the opera was
well rendered, and Miss Rich mond's
company may be regarded as success

Chief Justice Waite, in the matter of
the collision between the steamers

which occurred on the night of Jan.
1, 1875. The amount involved in
the suit being a $4,000. The

reviewing the evidence taken before
him at some length, the Chief JUS
tice dismisses the bill for libel
brought against the Adriatic, with
costs in both courts, and bases his
decision entirely on the ground that
upon the case, as it stands, the
steamer was free from blame.

story of fialial devotion. A woman in
Stavropol. 60 years old, had reprim-

was excited to still greater anger

last she grew so infur:ated that she
raised her arm to strike her son; but
he grasped his mothers arm and pre-
vented the blow. For this action the
old lady made complaint against him
before Judge, and he was ordered
to appear in court. Whereupon-illed
with remorse at having tried to avert
the wrathful blow Of his mother, he
