ApVERTIsEMEEF MENTION.
LOCAL INTELLIGENCE

local management of Messrs. B9als h Mott.
G. B. Bishop, the well-known low comedian,
assumed the title role, and James 0. Bar
rows was Tim Crane and Elder Snifies.
The other parts were taken by C. S. Dickson,
G. J. Bishop, r. S. Thompson, and Misses
Evans, Peck and Harold. The comedy is
one which keeps the audience in the merriest
of moods. About the only relation it has to
Mrs. Wicher's Bsdott Papers" is, that three
of her characters have been taken, and these
Mr.. Locke has presented in the most absul d
OF situations; such as are calculated to make
their eccentricities particularly prominent,
and irresistibly lnirthful Either Mr.. Locke
or MIR. Bishop has seen fit to put into the
mouths OF these characters words of which
the talented author of the Bedott papers never
dreamed, and expressions of such modern or
igin as TO disclose the fact that they are not
of the original. But this matters little, for
the piece stands or falls on its own merits
and on that basis it is a success, if the laugh
ter 1t provokes is to be the measure of iude-
menE, and it would appear to he just to gauge
the success Of such play by the pleasure it
gives the audience. This piece has all the ell
ements which make this class of entertain
ments popular. It broadly burlegoues or
SrAASAtltA11 puSstBiS phases OF character, ana
W tn such actors as Bishop and Barrows
as the art workers, Is is made thoroughly
effective. Mr.. Bishops presentation of tie
Widow Is very different from that of Neil Bur
CESS so different, both being supremely ludi-
crOus, that 1t IS simply matter of taste with
the auditors as to which is best But Mr.
Bishop has one decided advantsge-he has
lar better support than Burgess had, for Mr..
Barrows In his admirable doubling as Tim
(irana and fba ElJa, Al
parts in a manner rarely if ever equaled
In general excellence. He is cast in an alb
surd, farcical and intensely ludicrous play,
and has two parts that are extreme Carl
catures. He is faithful to the play and the
parts, and his creations more than surpass
probably, the authors ideal. In fact he
stands on level with Bishop in the piece, if.
lndeet, he is not superior, and the acting Of
the two would fairly make dry bones laugh.
The performance had, last evening, such re-
ception that it is safe to say the
run of the piece here will fill the
seats nightly and gladden. the pockets of the
managers. The management last evening
sent ushers through the dress circle and par
quet with iced lemonade for all who desired,
and without charge. It was simple courtesy,
but very agreeable one. Tonight the
silly, charming widow will again bemoan the
rebellion of her daughter. and recite how
than her death-in fact will not be satisfied
until she knows her to be an angel sitting on
the edge OF wet cloud ard picking an old
harp.
PROPERTY IDENTIFIED.-It will be remem.
bered that few days since officers Ash and
Levey secured quantity of clothing and
other articles from place where they had
been hidden in the weeds at Seventh and P
streets, and Of which list was given at the
time. The place was watched, and a man
who gave his name as Frank Edwards re-
turned for the stolen property soon after
dark, and when he had been permitted to go
a short distance with it was arrested. A
coat from among the list of articles was
recognized the next day as having been
stolen from o. a. Henley, and yesterday
conductor d. w. Willard. of the Central
Pacific Railroad, identified the balance of
the property. His residence was burglarizsd
a few nights since, aud the evidence was un-
mistakabie that at the same time the burglar
attempted to burn the house, as charred paper
was found in a pile of clothing, but the
clothes being damp did not ignite. The arti-
Giles recovered wers all taken from Mr.. VIII
lara'S residence at this time, and also black
satchel, which has not thus far been found.

held yesterday by Coroner Yermiya and

dead in her place of living, on 1 street, near
Second, OF Monday morning All Toy. one
of the women, testified to knowledge of the
fact that An Chut, who owned the deceased,
had trouble and hard words with her for not
giving him some money which she received on
her account in his absence knew he slapped
the deceased in the face, and saw the bowl
that the poison was in, but could not tell
whether she took the poison herself or All
Chut gave it to her. The other woman, All
Won, said she only knew the facts testified to
by All Toy. They were both discharged as
soon as their testimony had been taken and
reduced to writing. All Chut left as soon as
the Coroner found the body, and his where
abouts is not yet known.
ABOUT HOPS. - S. NJ Hoover, of Elk
Grove, brought to this city yesterday the

crop in tniS section promises to be q light
