THE sEANCR,
A Ghost With a FOndness for

The ghost drew we'll, last night.
An entrance fee Of fifty cents for the
dress circle and parquet, thirty-fve
for the family circle, and twenty.fv
cents for the gallery, was charged,
and the house was enough to
make a star shed tears Of
JOY. The exhibition was given in
open gaslight, or in other words, that
part Of it where the ghost did not show
himself, was bathed in light. Four
posts, standing about six feet apart in
the rear Of the stage, with a curtain
drawn around them, formed the cab

square. white post which stood in the
middle Of the cabinet. The perform.

good deal like them in many respects.
General Turner was the chief investi-

his questions and answers during the
early part of the performance-befor
he had been personally introduced by
the ghost. His talent as a Shaks.

THR ITALIAN OPERA TROUPE.
The always popular opera Of
"Fsust," 6ounod's most delightful
musical production, was pleasantly
and evenly sung at the Greenlaw opera
house last Saturday night. The
audience though not large, was highly
appreciative, and general sympathy
was expressed at the paucity Of the
patronage here, as well as the mis-
fortunes which seem to have followed
the company during their recent
Texan tour, much bad weather and
misconceptions all eonspirirg to tighten
their exchequer. The troupe includes
numerous lyric artistso Of eminence and
merit. and their rendition Of la
Fayorita" and Faust" gave much
pleasure to those who attended. Nc
matinee was given on Saturday, owing
to the illness Of Signor Talbo, the

night before to carry his score through

N.-Who's payin' for all this fuss?

N.-Wall, it must cost heap ov money
WHAT'S it fer, any how?
The major thought he would enlighten
the native, SO he told him that he was ell
gagged in building tunnel, and he fur
ther explained that it was cheaper to
bore hole through the mountain for the
cars to run through than to level it or
make ''cut" down the grade The ma
tive took it all in. and then queried:

the most favorable for corn. Mr.. Smith, No
