VIRGINIA, March "a.
DEAR TIMEs:-The editor. in chief
has departed. He has gone to dis
port himself upon the Bullyards
de San Francisco" There are few
who know the important business
that called him to the Bay. Poor
fellow! how l pity him. About two
weeks ago he said to me confidential
ly, at won't do for me to tell our
folks what am going below for.
Now, Silver coatains some Of the
loveliest unmarried omen on Gods
green footsool; but, you know, fell
low can't altogether control himself
in matters of this kind. There's
F.; he has been determined to
marry me off Tor number of years
past. He has one of the sweetest
little wives in the world and one Of
the dearest little babes alive. Being
so happy himself, he has been trying
to get me into the same boat. Wife
after wife has he selected for me,
until don't know what to do"
HE HEAvED A DEEP SIGH
And, reaching into the left-band
breast pocket Of his coat. drew out
magnificent cabinet picture, the
portrait Of very handsome young
lady. She was "stunner." His
comments upon her were more elo-
quent than the passionate appeals of
Claude Mellenot."
About a week ago, while in this
city, he impaired to me the terrible
secret-the object of his visit to
San Francisco We Immediately adj
journcd to the nearest saloon and inn
bibed liquid poison in sorrow and in
silence. 1t was \ sad blow to me.
Thus one by one my friends and
companions in bachelorhood are
passing away.
TWO NUIsANCEs.
l went to see the Florences the
ether evening and should have en-
joyed their performance better it it
had not been for couple of abom.
Unable nuisanees. Immediately in
front of me the new spring bonnet
made its appearance. 1t is gorgeous
in style aud magnificent in sizel l
had to look around it, over it, or
under it to suit the shifting of the
performers on the stage and the
wosrer in front. There was so much
lodging on my part that there was
not great deal of time left for me
to give attention to the play. Now,
If ladies will persist in wearing
such enormous monstrosities upon
their heads and insist upon occupy
ing front seats, why can't they remove
their cranial coverings at the begin
ming of the performance
TALKING IN THE THEATER.
Directly behind me sat number
of visitors who enjoyed each others
conversation so highly that they
kept up arattling fire all the evening,
and had the lines of the author
interspersed with "Oh! what y love-
ly dress Isn't she handsomei Amt
he just splendid" One of the group
having seen the play before, had
the pleasure of frequently hearing
coming events foretold.
AN EDUCATED AUDIENCE.
1t is not often that so fashionable
and educated an audience can be
seen, as was gathered at Pipers Opera
House last Wednesday evening. One
of the principal characters in the
play produced, was fashionable
lady who had spent so much of her
time abroad that she had forgotten
her native tongue. 1t was impossi-
BILE to make the briefest remark with
out using and fearfully butchering
the French language. 1t was q
noticeable fact that whenever she
did 30, the entire audience showed
their appreciation by laughter and
applause. When the Hon. Bard
we'll Slote, in one of his grandilo-
quent speeches said, "Madam, will
follow you from Alpha to Omaha"
our Greek scholars fairly shouted
with delight. Vive la Virginia.
NUMsKULL.
