dearth of theatrical pleasures in our city

this season.
-Callender's Ministries, somewhat alb
breyiated. held forth at the
Opera House last night to an
audience also somewhat abbreviated
Callender's MINISTRIES fooled the people of
Cairo once before, and there was a natural
prejudice against them. 1t was known
from the st. Louis papers that the Cal

In the Grand Opera House
there last night, aud therefore
many people, resolving that they would not
again be hoaxed, remained at home.
Callepder's MINISTRIES have fooled some OF
the theatre people of Cairo twice now, but
the Opera house management and the peO-
pie themselves will doubtless see to il that
they uont do it again, But after all, the
performance was not bad. twas amusing
enough throughout. Those who
went got the full worth of
their money and many of them
who had not seen better performances, got
more than their moneys worth. One char
acter in particular was good, namely, Alex.
Hunter, in his limitations The audience
generally was we'll pleased and had the
troupe been here in full as was promised
therewould have been no causefor complaint.
Well just give the several marriage

not charge even "thank you" for it either.

The plans for the new building of
Messrs. Goldstine and Rosenwater are per.
fected. They represent very imposing
structure which will be an ornament to the
entire city. 1t is to be a three-story brick,
fifty feet wide By one hundred feet deep,
with iron front containing six large french
plate glass show windows and three double
doors on the first floor. Internally il will
be arranged according to the latest and
most convenient style. Wide, ornamental
stairs and substantial elevator will connect
the several floors, and iron piers Will sup
port them. In the arrangement Of the
counters and shelves on the first floor
the old style of placing them
along the walls will be avoided. All the
counters, show cases and shelves will be OF
a circular form in the centre OF the floor
The Offices will be in the rear end of room
Messrs. G. g. X. will use their new store ex-
clusively for dry-goods and will keep the
large stock of gents furnishing goods in
the building where now their dry-goods
store is, which is their own. 1t is not yet
certain that they will commence building
this fall, but their lots are cleared of all
rubbish and they may put up the foundation
anyhow, so as to give it time to settle we'll
before erecting the super structure during
the spring.
