ANNIE PIxLEY LAST EVENING.

NFNA1 tALbh 1AbA N b6AHos r
About one thousand persons greeted
the appearance of Miss Annie Pixley
last evening at the Opera House, in
her play Of "M'liss, or the Child ofthe
Sierras." The play Of Mliss was
written for Miss Pixley, and she has
made such a study Of the character
that one is somewhat reminded, and
at times forcibly so, OF Maggie Mitch
ellis creation of Fanchon, tho Cricket.
Miss Pixley has all the childish aban-
don, and at times when crossed IN a
purpose, the same fiery temper Of an
untutored child that has made Maggie
Mitchell such agreat delineator of such
characters. She has such thorough
command over her voice and actions,
that at times she can display anger
and contempt in marvellous manner,
while in the next moment, when she
displays her love for those around her,
one can hardly imagine that it is the
same person. None Of hegactions has
the least appearance Of staginess, but
on the other hand her acting is SO free
from it and is given with such a truth
fulness that 1t seems even more true
than nature. Her acting while show
ing contempt for one of her fellow stu
dents in the person of Olytie Morpher
who is a rival for the affections of the
school master could not have been
equalled by any one. On the other
hand, when she gradually fell in love
with the teacher, the change in her
voice and action is somewhat wonder
full. From the fiery untutored child,
she becomes quite and submissive un-
der the gentle influence of love.
In portraying her devotion to the
school master when he is in trouble
and in rescuing him from his would be
lynchers. was as fine piece of acting
as was ever seen ON the stage. She is
also very fine singer, and upon con-
cluding the song "Katy come in and
shut the gate" she was rapturously
applauded, and was compelled to re-
peat it three times before the audience
were satisfied. The company that
supported her was as a rule good. OF
John Z. McDonough, as Yuba Blu, it
is hardly necessary to speak. He is
an excellent actor, and seems well
suited to the character in which he por-
trays, that of the stage driver. He is
easy in his acting and does not seem
constrained in the least. Frank Kill
day gave very amusing portrayal OF
the character of Judge Beessoinger, an
Arkansas Judge, and the audience
showed their appreciation of him by
liberal applause. The other charac-
ters were equally swell performed.
The play of Miss is one that appeals
almost Immediately to an audience. 1t
is not full of pathos, but has its funny
side as well, and there is but little
doubt that Mrs Fulford nee Miss Pix
ley, will make as great a success OF
it, as Maggie Mitchell has of her Fan
chon. She may already count herself
a IavorlJe In Wilmington.

That Maryland Marriage
WHY SHORES MARRIED HIS STEP DAUGH-
TER.

TER
Concerning the marriage Of Sydney
Shores, a Somerset county farmer, Win
his twelve year old step-daughter, for
which he and the minister who perform
ed the ceremony, Rev. Mr.. Bowen, were
committed to Jail, the Newtown Record
Gays:
~Mr. Bowen, however, has been more
fortunate than his fellow prisoner, and
was released on bail Thursday, after
spending one night in prison. Shores Is
a man Of very limited means, and very
few friends, and il is likely that he VIII
remain in jail till court, and II convicted
will i'm all probability be returned to the
same place, as he will not be able TO pay
the fine imposed. 1t will be remembered
that the mother of Shores young wife
was also the wife OF Shores, but died III
December last. At her death, the little
Girl fell heir to a small amount OF pro-
nertv-perhops 1000 to 81, 800. To Sc
cure this to himself Shores induced the
little girl to marry him.
aMr. Bowen is only a local prescher,
| with no charge and is over 10 years OF
age. The old gentleman Is very mucn
grieved at the occurrence, and says nau
| he known the circumstances he couiu no'
have been hired on the premises. The
affair is calculated to make ministers
very areful in the future how they per-
form the marriage rite. The little bride
has been taken charge of by her guardian
Mr. III, p. White, one of the Judges OF
the Orphans Court. She is quite good
looking, and very modest, and 1t is very
certain she did not know what she wal
doing when she was married"

Her clothes wefr old and dirty, aud her

tinued debapch.
Emma Sinex a sister-in-law of the

she would neg lect the child and leave II
alone in the house for bours at a time
On Thursday last she was out drunk and
when the witness went to her house she
found the child alone, aud the chimney

titled that the mother was In the habit
of deserting The child, and getting

PaU91saster R0dneV's Case.

Although the recent decision in this
State upon Errors in the Revised Stat
utes, as affecting accrued rights, was
in favor of the Treasury Department.
the officials in Washington are dissat-
isfied for the following reasons In
every branch of the revenue the Gov
ernment is constantly being, to great
er or less extent, defrauded by those
whose excuse with themselves is that
the Government itself pliers from
every citizen at whom it has a chance
and mercilessly strips those who by
any bubble fall into its power that
citizens must perforce take the law in
to their own hands for, as regard the
Judiciary, decision is never obtained
except after vexatious delays, and
then is always rendered for the Gov
ernment. Therefore, in Rodney s
case, involving the admitted illegalI-
ties which he has suffered from form
er administration, the officials openly
expressed their belief, as well as hope
and wish, that he would speedily win
redress in court. Yet, nevertheless,
progress was only with great delays,
and opinion was rendered against him
on mere technicality which had no
place either in law or equity and he
was denied both trial by jury and ap-
peal. 1t is the belief in Washington
that the Government could better af-
ford to lose many suits than win such
a one as this, and in such away fol
the result has the unfortunate tenden-
cy to confirm instead of to refute the
above ISLANDERS under which the Gov
ernment is all the time loser.
