Maurice Grau French Opera Company. The

seem as II he was born without the fatidic

Max Maretzsk and his whole troupe got
crazy on their engagement. and the theatre
had To remain closed for many days; other
disturbances have interfered with his various

POLITICAL MATTERS IN VIRGINIA.

RE Ssr Mayer.

The opposition In the ranks OF the
Democracy Of Virginia City TO Mr.. Cur.
ne for Mayor, instead Of abating, grows
stronger a. people learn that-hs worked
against the head Of the Democratic
ticket ct the last gubsrnatorial election
in this State. While privatss in the
ranks may quietly copper q regular
nomination without being guilty OF q
mortal sin, the Democracy hold that Q
man who seeks q high official position
himself must have q clean record az to
his past support Of the regular nomina-
lions Of The party. Az Mr.. Currie
admits that hs did not support the bead
Of the Democratic ticket ct the last
Rubsrnatorial election In this State, he
ought not TO expect other than that the
friends OF the late Governor Bradley
will scratch him, at the ensuing
municipal election. The fact that
Mr.. Currie did not receive Q majority
Of the votes OF the convention 10 also
operating against him, q the friends Of
Stonehill and Moore feel that because OF
It they are thereby relieved from all
obligations to support him. As matters
stand there 10 NO doubt that Mr.. Currie
will DO badly beaten-he deserves defeat,
say many Democrats. His defeat will
not, however. carry other nominees on
the ticket with him, a. many Demo.
cratic voters will trade him Of with Re-
publicans for votes for their friends.

The recent party Of New Englandsrs
reached another world when they arrived
on the Comstock. They doubtless have
the advantage Of most Of the people here
in education and refinement. but here
they were content TO be as children In q
new school and learn OF us. They man.
ifestsd much interest In what they saw
and among the first places they visited
Was the Union shaft. The ponderous
machinery there surprised the whole
party. They carefully noted everything
and asked many questions, some OF
which caused o smile. For instance,
when In the ore house where there 10 Q
reel for winding and uuwinding the
cable. one OF them wanted to know II
that was what crushed the ore. They
learned better subsequently,. when they
visited the California battery and pan
