The First Night Of the Pirates OF Pen
ZanCe.

AoAVSs
The first night of the new operetta was
an event in more senses than one Inc
members of the American Institute OF
Mining Engineers, though fatigued With
travel, and having had hardly an hour OF
waking rest since their arrival, Wheh shey
heard of the object Of the performance
for the benefit of the cemetery for The Con-
federate dead-not only gave sou TO the
cause, but attended the opera house IN
body. At the close of the first act, MAJ.
Jed Hotchkiss, on behalf of the members
of the institute, excused their leaving The
house, and introduced one OF them TO give
their reasons. Thereupon DR.. Raymond, OF
New York, rose and made the handsomest
ten minutes speech on record, the
praises of which were on the lips OF every
body in Staunton yesterday morning. AT
ter saying that they were about to leave
solely from fatigue from travel, and not
through lack of appreciation OF The excel
lent performance, he said he wanted to ex-
press the hearty gratitude of the engineers
and their appreciation of the kind receipt
ion they had received from the citizens OF
Staunton. His allusion to the Confeder-
ate dead was a model of eloquence and
broad patriotism. His speech was recelv-
ed with genuine outbursts of applause.
The presentation Of the opera, OF which
we can only speak from report having been
deprived by sickness of being there, was
greater success even than Pinafore and
promises as abiding a popularity. Enough
the music is of rather higher order than
that operatta and some of it decidedly
more difficult, its rendering was almost I'M
exceptionable. The house was filled away
back to the door, with an audience fully
competent to decide upon the performance
and the applause was unlimited,
Tonight it will be repeated for the last
time, the occasion being for the benefit of
the CASTE which is as follows:
Ruth. Miss Lizzie Daniel
Mabel. .................Mls MISS cora turner
Kate. Miss Maggie Thornburg
Edith. Miss Ollie Hotchkiss
Chief. Mr.. W. H. Daniel
Apprentice ......... Mr.. G. L. Cooke
Major General. ....... Mr.. Jno. McQualde
Sergeant. Mr.. D. E. Euritt
Lieutenant. Mr.. Jos. Shirley
We trust the house will be full, for the
ladies and gentlemen of the caste, for the
labor they have spent in this cause, well
deserve this compliment at the hands of
our people.

Our Cannibal Ancestors.

Carl Vogt has been startling the scientif.
ic world by a statement he has made re.
>pcctiny the ancestors Of the human race.
lie declares that, in the progress from saw.
age to civilized life, all the leading members
of he human family were at one time, neces.
,.rlv, cannibals. In the fossil remains
found in caves or preserved in marshes, are
discovered human bones split by some in.
s.ruincnt, often scorched bv fire and on the
softer ends Of the bones inc ;cations Of teeth.
If instruments were used, it must be by a
tool using animal. The marks Of Gre
show that It was after man made some
progress in the control Of the elements
The splitting OF the bone was to get at the
marrow. Indeed Vogt goes SO far as to
say that the religious observance in which
the ram-s blood and BODY are used in the
sacrament, was not originally symbolical
at all, but real, and that the progress Of civ
ilization refined, sanctitied and symbolized
what was in its origin barbarous rite. OF
course all this horrifies the religious world,
and attempts are making, which will no
doubt be successful, to confute the auda-
cious and irrcverent Carl Vogt.

NetallurRy Of Nickel.

At the recent exhibition Of the German
patents and designs the metallurgy Of
nickel and cobalt was illustrated In an in
tercstiny manner b. Fleitmann 4 Witte,
Of Iserlohn. DR.. Kollmapn describes 1t as
follows:
1t is only within few years since the
discovery Of pure 'naileable and weldable
nickel by DR.. Tn. Fleitmann. that nickel
has entered the rank Of those metals which
are technically employed on large scale.
Previously only the alloys Of nickel with
copper and other metals could be easily
wrought, while pure nickel could neither
be hammered nor rolled. The reason Of
this was that pure nickel absorhs (oc-
cludes) gases while melted (F!eitmann
thinks it is carbonic oxide( and the nickel
cannot be worked until these gases are re.
moved
Fleitmarn's process for making nickel
mealleable consists in adding very small
trace, only one.twentieth Of a per cent. Of
magnesium, which is introduced in the
form Of bar into the liquid nickel while
in the crucib:e. This small percentage Of
natalie magnesium renders this brittle
metal perfectly malleable, and it can even
be welded. Magnesium is we'll known to
oxidize very easily lat high ternperatures)
and hence serves to remove these in.
furious gases. would no; PHOSPHORUS
arr.,,u n!iSh th. snryn., ~, ~
The extraordinary technical importance
Of the new discovery (Which is already
patented in all coun,ries) is evident at once.
Formerly alloys with comparatively only
little nickel could be used, say, for coin.
The German 10 pfennig pieces Qike the
American S cent piece) contain only IS
per cent. OF nickel to IS Of copper. Now,
on the other hand, we can have pure
nickel cast in any desired shape, and also
forge it and roll it like iron or steel. We
may, indeed, assume with tolerable Ger.
tainty that If Fleit,nann's method had been
known ten years ago we Germans would
not have been pestered with our unhandy
little 20 pfennig silver coins, for much
more convenient ones could have been
stamped from pure malleable nickel.
Pure nickel, in addition to its malleabilitv,
possesses the great advantage that it does
not lose its luster in moist air ard is unaf.
tccted by organic acids. while its alloys,
We know too well, gradually lose their lus.
