THE BLONDE BRITISHERS.

The young boarding school misses who are
travelling on their shape and who are self
styled as above, will let themselves be seen
Through smoked glass; ut the Carson Opera
House on Tuesday night, the 18th inst. Such
family men as feel themselves called upon to
frown down this exhibition had better be on
hand early, for it is to DO remembered that
this is the short month of February, and that
it afforts but an abbreviated time i'll which to
do any long, hard, etfsctuAl joo in the frown-
ing way. As good way any to cast the
severity of family mans apprehension upon
such All exhibition rs this, is to sit on trout
seat in the orchestra and stare the young
ladies and the Young ladies l--gs out of
countenance through opera glass. The
effect is very etfective! Mr.. S,ckett was
good enough to say that Miss L,ftuss troupe
is composed of the most exemplary young
ladies from the best female seminaries of the
Eastern states and Europe, and that the
forms which they exhibit are but the ''forms"
in which they sat while attending those
schools under the espionage ana guidance OF
their mammas. These Sunday school schol-
ars from Bitter Creek) will perform sundry
evolutions of mild devotional character for
the first class in anatomy, after which they
will enter upon an entire change in the pro-
gramme. Then they will g." to Virginia City
to be frowned upon by the family men of that
moral and esthetic community. We notice
that the box sheet at Dealey's saloon in the
Opera House corner is fast filling up. This
shows that an interest is felt In our little city
in letting things shape themselves, as it were,
ere yet they are subjected to the fro"ns of
the paternal censor with a lorgnette in his
hand and tho severity of Puritan rigor in his
heart.

''When we put up our posters, says he "we
