On going to the stable ore day, he, be-

window; then, to his establishment, he
counted eleven rats stuck on the horses

shake them of, but instead of doing this
he remained mOti0nless and seemed to

examination OF the horses legs he fund
twenty-five hstle holes, from eleven of

this, being the common fate OF prime donne,

the fate which has compelled her to lengthen
her girdle has not materially abated the
lightness of her heels nor carried altogether
away the freshness and the sweetness OF The
voice that was so well liked when il was
first heard, many years ago. Miss Oates,
retaining so much OF her early self, naturally
retains the friends Of her youth, to which
many friends OF later period have been
added. She is good to draw at all times,

Mrs. Drew to play OH the opening
night OF her eighteenth season that is to

There is nothing in particular to be said
about the performance of this interesting
specimen OF the dramatic and musical. ideal
Of the modern French. AS everybody
knows, the libretto is coarse in French and
becomes coarser upon being translated into
English. The score, as everybody also
knows, is bright and pleasing. Miss Oates
acted the leading parts so as to give added
point to the coarseness, and sang the songs

RICHMOND, September 8, 1879.
Editors Dispatch: notice the card of
b. A. Atkinson, Jr.. in to-day's Dispatch
about being in favor Of the debt settlement.
1t reads all right; but why don't he an.
swer whether be will or will not vote for
Malone? 1t may be true that there is no
issue In the mind of one candidate for the
House iu Richmond about Malone, but in
Atkinson's case particularly there may be.
1t is said that Atkinson ran against the
ConseTv vative nominee, j. Mcdowell Car
riugton, for Commonwealth attorney OF
-Henrico about 1870, and beat Darlington by
getting the Radical votes. II so, be (At-
klnson) was certainly bolter. Now, IL be
wants to show to the true Conservative
party that be has repented, let him say that
he will not vote for Malone, who is the
head bolter OF them all. / see nothing un-
reasonable in the question to candidates
asking il they will vote for Malone, Tor it
IS believed that he has lofty aspirations; and
il Conservative candidate cannot say that
he will not vote for Bolter it is not sur
prising that the true Conservatives will not
trust the candidate who refuses so to an
swer. Why does not Atkinson answer the
question? What is Malone to him or be TO
Malone? Does he fear to lose the votes
OF MduOQe>S lOliONeTS! lOI IL 10 s1iel
that Malone will favor the election OF even
debt-payer If be be all right on Malone.
Atkinson is in bad fix. He will not now
get the votes of the rag-tag and bobtail
Boilers in Henrico at the primary. as be
expected, because he goes back on them as
repudiators by fayoring the debt-settle-
ment. He will not get the votes OF the true
| Conservatives either in Richmond or Hen
rico at the primary, because, having bo!ted
the Conservative party himself, they are
afraid he will vote for Malone, the Bolter,
as he won't say that he will not. II Atkin-
son has any reason personal why he cannot
say that he will not vote for Malone, let
him say it. The people OF Richmond and
Henrico are an appreciative people; but
this Malone question is a political one, and
| If Atkiason will not answer let him meet
the fate that awaits him for not repudiating
Malone, the great Bolter and Repudiator,
Poor Atkinson! bis bright dreams Of sena.
torial honors are gone. There is but one
hope left for him, and that is X Mahone's

sympathy enough for him to give him what
