ADJUSTMENTS.
AT ~LEuRRIE's rHEArER

AT LKUBRIE's THEATER
Last night the Rentz Santley variety
company drew another apparently
well-pleased audience, aiew ladies be-
ing seen in the gathering. The enter
tainment ran smoothly, and after it
was over the troupe took the train for
Nashville and points east. Tonight
the beautiful drama of the Bankers
Daughter" is to be presented for the
first time in this city by a we'll
practiced and excellent company, pro-
vided with a liberal stock of beau
tiful scenery and accessories. The
drama is said to be translated from the
French, though its moral is of the
purest, and entirely devoid of the
usual features contained within French
society plays.

actress Ada Cavendish, supported by
Mr.. George Boniiace will open at our
theater in Camille" followed by
The New Magdalen," Lady of
Lyons" and Soul ofan Actress" The
advance agent of the company, Mr.. J..
F. Joyce, is now in the city, perfeoting
arrangements for the appearance Of
the company.
THE OPERA oOMPANY's CONCERT.
The complimentary benefit rendered
to the Tagliapietra opera company at
the Greenlaw operahouse, last night,
was fairly attended by our musical
loving citizens, the receipts being
about three hundred dollars, not
enough to send the thirty odd people
of the troupe to New York, as was
hoped for, but it will go well toward
making the necessary amount, which
it is proposed to complete by subscrip
ton to-day. Captain Wise, of the
steamer Gaff, offered to put the com
pany through to their eastern destina-
ton at a very low rate, but the returns
were insufficient to accomplish this,
and the boat left to-day without the
troupe. Signor Table, the tenor, who
at home is plain Hugh Talbot, received
a liberal remittance from the east
yesterday and left for Boston by last
nights train. Signor Tsgliapietra,
the most gift9d lyric artistof the party,
and, in fact, scarcely without an equal
in this country as a baritone, has gone
to New Orleans to join the French
opera company now singing in that
city. The concert was quite success
full in a musical sense, though but
little over an hour was occupied in
carrying the programme through to
its close. The curtain rang down
about half past nine on the tower
scene from III Trovatore," and the
audience were all at home before, or
by, ten O'Clock. With the exception
Of the selection entitled The Mes
sage" all Of the numbers in the pro-
gramms we're sung, and that was
omitted because of the severe inAu-
enza under which Signor Talbo suf-
fered. bssi3as the regular programme,
Signor Tagiapietra sang Schubert's
serenade, while Miss Jennie Jones
added Don't Forget Me" to "0nly
a Kiss" and the aria, from Linda di
Chamounix." Mr.. Gottschalk sang
cleycTly, especially the bullfghter's
song, from Carmen. He was afflicted
by a hacking cough, a malady with
which many victims in all circles
at the present suffer. The selection
from Martha by Signor Talbo, the
Toreador song by Mr.. Gottschalk,
Miss Jones aria, from LINDA" and
the "Miserere," from II Trovatore, .
were pronounced the musical gems Of
the evening. The singers were all
applauded literally and in some in.
stances enthusiastically, Signor Tag
liapietra, Miss Jones and Signor Talbo
beng called before the curtain several
times. The audience, which was a
f shionable one, seemed fully satisfied
with the entertainment.
