The following extract from the Sacra-
mento Record-Union shows the manner in
which the Melvilles are being received !:
"The Emelie Melville English Opera
Troupe appeared at the Metropolitan last
night to o very fine house. The company
produced the comic opera, THE Royal
Mildly 1t was we'll presented, and the
evidences Of careful and discreet manage
ment were everywhere apparent. The ap-
pointments, costumes and accessories were
all very handsome, and the Royal Mildly
was a brilliant and satisfying spectacle. 1t
is an operate extravaganza founded on the
old adventures of q Partisan soubrette, at
the Court Of Portugal. Miss Melville and
Mr.. Freeman were the chief figures, the
centers Of attraction, and they were as
near the line Of completeness in their sing
ing and stage business as the standard Of
the play demanded. Miss Melville has lost
none Of the charm Of her manner, the
grace Of her carriage or the piquancy Of
her acting, while Mr.. Freeman, as the rich
and witty Brazilian in search Of a woman
who would repulse him, was admirable.
He, Miss Melville and Miss Dungeon
conspired to attain success, and succeed
ed. The work, unsteady. is light, airy
and makes no heavy demand upon the
voices of these leading singers. The chorus
numbers are not difficult, and that body
acquitted itself with credit. Miss Mel
vile. always q ~favorite here, sang as
clearly and easily as If she heartily enjoy
ing instead Of executing a task. Her act
ing and singing are Of the telling kind,
which characterize the accomplished
actress and the dramatic singer. in whom
is combined refinement and taste with a
fine vocal organ. As a whole the produc-
ton Of the Royal MILDLY was q decided
success, and it is safe to forecast for the
troupe popularity and success here"

From q private letter to A. ]. Dallas,

Review extracts the following az have
delayed answering your letter until I saw
more OF the country, n l find my first
predictions correct. This will be the best
country on the coast. and you had better
come up as soon as you can. There will
be the largest immigration you ever saw,
in q short time, and plenty Of money with
It. There have been several large sales
made here this Winter, and two more will
be made by the first Of March, OF 500, 900
each. This section is attracting the atten-
ton Of capitalists both East and West. One
furnace has arrived here this Winter, and
several more are on the way. Ore here
abounds in large quantities. and nearly all
pays to ship to Salt Lake. This IL. with
out doubt, the largest mineral belt ever
discovered. The snow 10 three and a half
feet deep, yet the weather is beautiful with
a prospect Of an early Spring. The roads
are open from this place to Blackfoot aud
also to Kelton."

In the District Court yesterday. whilethe
jury in the case Of The People vs.. Ralph
johnson and Buck" Murphy was being i'm
paneled. an incident occurred which laid
one Of the attorneys for the defendants
fat on his inquisitorial back. In question
ing Q peer from Ruby Hill, the lawyer at
tempted to arrive at what the Juror termed
an unqualified opinion, and propounded
the following question "If I should tell
you that q certain crime had been COM
mitted on Ruby Hill, would you believe
it?" Juror-"If I didn't know you to be
such . notorious liar I would" The
Court and spectators smiled sudibly. and
the discomftted disciple Of Blackstone fell
back In his chair thoroughly demoralized.

A Naturally Rad Man.

Fayette King, who about a year and a
half ago deserted his family in this city,
says the Carson Appeal, and ran off to
Eureka with a girl of ill repute, is again
making himself the subject of much un-
favorable comment. Several months after
his unmanly escapade here, his wife
learned of his whereabouts and she accom-
panied by her children, went to Eureka.
1t is stated that for a while King provided
for them; but the bread they ate must have
been very bitter, as, it is alleged. the girl
with whom he ran away had to be recog-
nized as a member Of his family. But the
man, If such he can be called, grew from
bad to worse, neglecting his wife and little
ones in such q fragrant manner that it be-
came the town talk. Recently a number
of charitable ladies of Eureka, hearing Of
the condition of Kings family, investi-
gated the matter and found them abso-
lutely destitute, while the man who should
be their natural protector is playing the
Liberal Dick with a dissolute class Of
people. Probably this gay Lothario's
principles might be improved by the appli-
cation Of the tar bucket. 1t is fortunate
for him that there is such a span Of
country between him and the brothers Of
the lady who has the misfortune to be his
wife.

Too Much Jaw.

The Carson Appeal claims that the bill
modifying the Drummer" law was de-
feated in the Legislature through the in
discreet utterances OF . San Francisco
agent, who boosted that when the bill be-
came Q law, which was . certainty, the
San Francisco Arms, In place Of sending
thirty sdrummers' to this State, would
only employ three. Several Of the Solons
heard this remark, and others of a similar
nature. and they successfully interested
themselves In the defeat Of the measure be-
fore the Legislature.

Crislci.ing a Critic.

The San Francisco Exchange has taken
several occasions to speak OF u Dramatic
Club. Its latest allusion is as follows
No mining camp can lay claim to a rea-
sonable amount Of "kultchaw unless it
possesses q dramatic club. Eureka has
one, and last week the accomplished men,
bers treated the citizens to a representa-
ton Of the LADY Of Lyons" The SEN
TrNEL man was there, and the actors have
no reason to complain of the send-off.
Claude" read his lines with "poetical
tenderness" and eloquent sweetness"
The Deschappells was "dignifed, grave
and easy" In fact, the SENTINEL man
threw himself, and ladled out sweetness by
the bucketful. The danger Of this sort
Of thing is that some useful member Of
the community, useful in the business
walks Of life, we mean, may imagine that
he is O rip-snorting star, abandon his desk,
and launch himself Upon the sea OF dra-
matte art. Easy is the descent of Arer-
nus, and the failure at a first-class city
theater, finds a market for his talents in q
third class dive. This is one Of the many
reasons why the critic Of the mining town
should hold in his horses, because the
power of doing q vast deal Of mischief lies
with him.
Our esteemed contemporary greatly In
derestimates the talent comprised in our
Dramatic Club. Its fear that some Of its
members will soon start out on a starring
tour, as an outgrowth Of newspaper praise,
is needless apprehension. so long as Tom
Mcguire n Armory Sullivan manage
the leading theaters Of San Francisco. But
what would the Exchange-man say to a
better ''Pauline" than Lilly Edgingtcn
gave to a Baldwin audience about three
months since. and a "Claude" that would
rank with Sheridan's? The latter, how
ever, is not an amateur, but a professional
actor, who, though young, has passed
through a good school Of experience, and
we would like to call the Heterogeneous
attention to the prediction that the gentle
man will be heard from on other boards
before the signs of old age show them
selves On his critical head. And perhaps
the Exchange editor is not aware that we
have in Eureka the prettiest little theater
on the coast, a perfect bjou, as the critics
say in the city, and that our people love
the drama, love music, and love everything
that is good and amusing, and know the
difference between a clown and a tragedian.

The Elko Independent Of the I'd instant
has the following
The SENTINEL of the list instant con-
tains the following from Its Palisade cor
respondent 1.-THE talk in this town is
still over the mysterious disappearance Of
the old German, who was last seen in the
house Of Hughesdon, between here and
Carlin. There seems to be doubt in the
minds Of the people here but that Hughes
don is q veritable Bender, and has made
away with . number Of persons during the
past few years. He now lies in the Elko
Jail, having been arrested on suspicion"
II this is intended as 9 joke, it is q very
grim one, and the facetious Palisade per-
son may be playing with edged tools with
out being aware Of it. The old nan Is not
in the Elko Jail, nor is there reason to be-
lieve that he has been arrested on suspi-
cion.
Our attention has just been called to the
remarks Of the Independent. If u Pail
SADIE correspondent has led us into a false
statement we regret it, and take the first
opportunity to repair the damage done to
Mr.. Hughesdon, by publishing the above
statement from the Independent.

Salt Lake Tribune: Those who contem-

place the distance to Wood River is but
1856 miles. The stages on the line are OF

A Game Man with q Dame Leg.

Virginia Chronicle Arad Howes and
Jack Rails, two Sacramento gamblers,
went out to Pizen Switch last week to get
q game Of poker, it being known that
some of what the initiated call the " best
blooded buffers /" in the land were living
in that locality. On the second night they
had "Old Wooden-legged Bill" a local
card player, "set in" against them, and
succeeded in breaking him. Then he
pulled off his wooden leg, which is very
valuable, and pawned it to them for 500,
which he also lost. The next night he
'dug up" and paid for his leg. after
morning he had corraled the most OF the
money on the table. Mason Valley, We
may say with pride, produces game stock.

German peasants are said to have but
one bed in the house, which, il occasion
requires, is without scruple shared with q
visitor. A traveller relates he was travel
ing late one evening, and was unable to
find quarters till he called at a PEASANTS
him the best the humble place afforded.
The family consisted OF an aged grand
mother, the father and mother, and sew
eral growing and full-grown sons and
daughters. The family were apparently in
better circumstances financially than their
neighbors. The house was Of good proper
tions, neat, and comfortable; but, as usual,
1t could boast only one bedroom and one
bed. To a place in that bed, however, the
traveller was welcome. He was the first TO
retire. The apartment into which he was
ushered extended the length of the house,
and was q little wider than the bed. No
room was lost. The narrow space at the
foot of the bed was wide enough for all the
necessities of the toilet, and II guests were
to be accommodated the family had not to
arrange other beds, but simply to lie close
together. The officer undressed and turned
in as number one. Scarcely was he set
tied when the grandmother appeared and
modestly took her place at his side. the
feathers, as she lay down, rising up as q
barrier between them. One after another
the eleven members Of the family
followed. In less than al hour after his
introduction to the family, and without q
shock to any ones sense Of propriety, un-
less his own, he had as bed companions
not only q grandmother, a father and
mother. and four strapping sons, but also
five buxom bellies Of the neighborhood.

The Mineral ealt OF New Mexico.
A Leadville correspondent Of the Chicago
Tribune, speaking Of the vast wealth
which the railway system is destined to de-
velop in New Mexico, says: "The Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad has given
a new birth to this ancient land, and will
certainly reap a rich reward for its enter
prise. 1t will soon take its place, by its
connection with the Southern Pacific, as q
great transcontinental route and, more
its local trade will be large and lucra-
tive, from cattle, sheep, and the rapidly
developing mining industries. The whole
mountain range through the Territory is
N vast mineral belt. 1t was its mineral
wealth which first attracted the rapacious
Spaniards in the early part of the sixteenth
century, and the reputed treasures of the
Seven Cities Of Ciboia, as reported by
Friar Marcos de Nigga, was a moving cause
Of its first conquest. Old mines are being
continually reopened, which have been
buried under the debris Of centuries, and
American enterprise is daily discovering
new ones. The White Oaks excitement Of
last year and the occupation of Cerillos
are followed by the opening of new dis
tricts this winter. Prominent among them
are the discoveries made in the Magdalena
range, west of Soccorro, where great finds,
both in silver and gold, are reported daily"

Exemptfng Stocks from Taxation.
The San Francisco papers are predict
ing livelier times in the stock market
SOC on account of the passage of the
Revenue bill by the California Legis-
lature. Among other beneficial things it
exempts certificates Of stock in incor-
porated companies from taxation. This
is very important for shareholders in min
ing enterprises, and inasmuch as the ma
jority Of those holders have been fright
ened lest they should have to pay taxes on
their shares, when the assessment is made,
the passage Of the bill should relieve their
fears and have q favorable influence on the
stock market. The Governor has not yet
signed the bill. but it is generally under
stood that he will do SO. The passage Of
the bill had . beneficial effect upon the
market yesterday and to-day. Those best
posted think it will be Of still more benefit
in the future.

SunerstitIon in Court.


1t is a curious fact that many per-
sons believe that if they are bitten by
a dog, and the animal afterwards runs
mad, they will also be stricken with
hydrophobia. Consequently, they in
sist upon having the dog killed at
once. An instance occurred in the
police court this forenoon. An intel
ligent colored woman had a woman
arrested whose dog had bitten her
child, aud in support of her case
offered to produce dozens of persons
who believed as she did. A physician
she named told her he was once bitten
and had the animal shot in less than
an hour afterward. She had once been
bitten and had the dog killed. Ever
since she had lived in dread hat one
of her children would be bitten, and
her WORT fears were realized-the
youngster had the skin peeled off its
thumb.
The proof, however, was insufficient
and the dog-owner was discharged.
Stepping up in front of the rail, the
colored woman burst into tears, and
exclaimed:
Judge, you send me away from
here a miserable woman. l know you
will call me superstitious, but l can
not help it, and will live in constant
dread of seeing my child go mad
Several ~bystanders attempted to
console her, but she would not listen
to reason and, as a last resort, resolved
to go before the grand jury with hel
complaint.
