Every season has its own sacred and ne
culiar phenomenon. At this season OF the
year you will read, on antaverage, OF TWEEN
ty-tbree men, in as many States, who have
been in the common habit. Of hiding their
savings in the parlor-stoye, and whose
wives have, with surprising unanimity,
looked upon the money as SO much paper
and burned it uPincontinently. These sto-
.ries are all true. There is no doubtof that.
All we wish to do bere is to call atten.
tion to certain unvarying phases in these
phenomena which cannot be otherwise than
eminently interesting and instructive to
the thoughtful and reflective mind. In
the first place, as we have mentioned above,
the amount is always Just $1,000 (the sum-
,mer savings of the men whose wages
amount to $500 year,. TO proceed, all
Americans invariably use the parlor-stove
as money-safe, and the women OF this free
and enlightened land are so little acquaint-
ed with the vile lucre that they cannot tell
it from common green paper. But. the
strangest thing about this. after all, is that
in none OF these recitals are we told OF

RICHMOND THEATRE-"M MIGHTY DoLLAR.n
Preceded by their wonted fame, and safe
in the affections OF Richmond audiences,
Mr,and Mrs. j. W. Florence will greet
their many friends next Tuesday in the
"Mighty Dollar" The creation by the ge-44
MUS OF Mr.. Florence OF Judge Slote is as
much OF an originality as JefferSon's Rip
Van Wrinkle, OF OF Raymond's Colonel Sell
lers; and though not invested with legend
ary halo like the former, nor with the eX-
uberant eccentricity OF the latter, presents
features so typical aud so peculiarly OBJ
servable in the miItun compoSituna OF our
political character that it presses irresistibly
upon our appreciation of the weak spots in
the makeup OF a certain class of politicians.
Mrs. Gilfiory, amiable, fashionable, and
blissfully ignorant, is no less true portrait
OF a certain class OF females found in the
lobby rs well as in the salon, but, as repre-
sented by Mrs. Florence, is not only great
improvement on the original morally, but,
in the matter OF tasteful attire, greatly su-
perior by large majority. On this latter
point we can assure our lady readers that
the costumes worn by Mrs. Florence, de-
signed and executed as they were by Worth
and other celebrated European artists, are
maryels of richness and taste, and have not
been equalled hy any ever seen here or IN
any other city. Our favorites are ably sup
ported.
