the last half dozen of years, but some
fortunate circumstance always inter-
posed to prevent such removal from the
active list Of the army. He is nearly
10 years old, and physically and other
wise he cannot be considered equal to
the demands of the great bureau Of
which he has SO long been the chief. 1t
is generally known that he is reluctant
to surrender the Office he fills, but the
law has been sufficiently neglected to
crafty his caprice Of age, and the inter-
ests Of an important bureau demand
the change that compliance with law
will produce. Gen, Meigs, in passing
from active military life, will leave be-
hind him an honorable record, some
what married by his infrmity of temper

gallant soldier and gentleman, one who
possesses brilliant executive capacity,

pie in the administration Of his trust. I"

There is a rare treat ahead for the

includes the whole town. Arrange

at Chase's theater, Tuesday evening,
Nov. LIST. This company Of twenty
performers has been meeting with
great success everywhere on this west
ern tour, and in Denver played against
the Evangeline company. drawing a
full house every night. Their perform
ance is FREQ from yulgarity. and first
class In every respect. An efficient
orchestra adds its charm to the special
ty work, and their street parade in
uniform is said TO be the finest Of any
minstrel combination travelling.
or their appearance in Leadville, the
Herald says: This is undoubtedly the
best minstrel organization that has
ever visited the city, and all being
genuine colored" they are therefore
correct d~elineators of the many pecu-
liarities and eccentricities of their race.
The first part, although somewhat
s~tereotyped, is very laughable, and
winds up with some beautiful selection.
by the company's band. The songs are
all good, the majority of the jokes new,
and the sketches comical enough to
bring forth scream Of laughter from
all parts Of the house.
All who attended no doubt enjoyed Q
pleasant evening, and witnessed a per-
formance that, Of the kind, has never
been excelled in this city.
