"FTanct use de Rinini, the new opera of Am
broise Thomas, was produced tonight at the
Grand Opera. The curtain fell half an hour
after midnight. The opera was rather coldly
received. Ii here and there strongly reminded
one of Douizetti. The music, however, ia
less spontaneous. The most original parts of
the opera are PROFESSIONALLY The music of,
first, the prologue, part of which ia repeated
in the epilogue, and second, the ballet. The
melodies are occasionally heavy and long
drawn out, lacking inspiration. The opera
is the work OF master who has at his fingers
ends all the secrets OF his art, but who, per-
haps, is deficient in that divine genius which
makes The Gghtest works of less erudite and

Arabian Manners.

An Arab on entering a house removes
his shoes but not his hat. He mounts
his horse upon the right side while his
wife milks the COW on the left side In
writing letter he puts nearly all his
compliments on the outside. With him

head is made its heel. His head must

while his feet may well enough gonaked

disc which is liquid he weighs, and he
measures wheat, barley and few other
articles. He reads and writes from right
to left. He eats scarcely anything for
breakfast, about as much for dinner.
but after the work of the day is done
he sits down to a full meal swimming
in oil, or better yet, boiled butter His
sons eat with him, but the females of

He rides donkey when travelling. his

idea of walking in the street with his
wife. and of ever vacating his seat for
woman. He knows no use for. chairs.
tables, knives. forks, .or even spoons,
unless they are wooden or bone. Bed
steads, bureaus. and fireplaces may be
placed in the same category. If he be
an artisan he does work sitting, perhaps
uses his feet to hold what his hands are
engaged upon. He drinks cold water
with spoon, but never bathes in it un-
less his home be ON the sea shore. He
is rarely seen drunk, is deficient in af-
lection for his kindred, has little curiOs-
ity, and no animation, no wish to inn
prove his mind, no desire to surround
himself with the comforts of life.

fond of stuffing his head with scraps of
Latin, and ringing them i'm on all
proper or improper occasions. Barlow
overhauled the books, and set himself
to stirring up the debtors, but Rus

addressed by letter. The letter men
toned the debt, declared it necessary
that the creditor should give it stten-

thinking that the water would find an ont
let in a culvert near by, Mr.. Atkinson de-,
string to prevent the water flowing into
the tail race for the present.so that Messrs
Reynolds s. Co. could make better nro
gress in getting the water out so that thew
could resume operations. Well, it seems
that the water did not find the culvert a,
expected during the hard rain of YESTERDAY
and the prospects were that the greater
part of the First ward would be fioodad
with water. To prevent this Aldermen
Lundquist and Peterson of that ward tore
away part of the dam at the commence
ment of those hardest rains. Now, the
question arising is, what step will Mr.. AT.
kinson take in the matter, he having don.
the same with the consent of the parties
referred to above. The probabilities are
that ''all is not we'll on the "Potomac 4"
and that Mr.. Atkinson will be heard from

saw YELLOW CAT.

Last night, latter having been around
with the boys pretty much all day. a we'll
known republican worker of this city retired
to rest, leaving his window up about three
inches. Somewhere about midnight he
awoke in a cold perspiration. fancying
that an animal of some kind was prowling
about in his room. He gravely said this
morning that he got up, Lighted his lamp,
and in an adjoining room found huge
yellow cat which appeared to be as badly
scared as he was. That republican worker,
it is evident, win have to change the
quality of his whisky or he win be goner
before election.

be superfiuous for the ARGUS to speak. In
fact Mary Anderson. in any character
would carry her audience captive. The
staid New York Tribune thus refers to this
talented lady:
Mary Anderson is young, beautiful,
handsome, artless girl. remarkable for pomp
of figure and muscle of voice, singular in
her large, broad, sumptuous. natural

Ohio, there occurred the marriage of Mr..

has travelled for the Moline Plow Company,
and who is well-known in this city and
Miss Nettie r. Clark, of that city, the
latter of whom is one of the most estim-
able daughters of the Buckeye state, and
who has for number of years been
teacher in their public schools. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev. w. K.
Wright in the presence of large circle of
friends. The presents were numerous and
elegant, among which were several from
Moline friends who were compelled to send
their regrets being unable to be

OLD CHARLEY GETS AWAY.

Our townsman, Mr.. Jonas Bear, tells a
neat little story, although the joke was on
himself. In 1856, when he first came to
this country, he began business at the ssot-
tom round of the ladder and tramped over
the country with his store on his back.
One day in the winter of that year he was
showed in at the house of Mr.. Christian
Gueldenpfening, Ia notice of the sudden
death of whose wife appears elsewhere.)
The kind hearted Mrs. g., unwilling that
Mr.. Bear should start out in the deep snow
afootwith isload. persuaded her husband
to let him have wagon and Did Charley, "
an old plug ofmammoth proportions The
first day out Mr.. Bear got along finely and
was az happy as king, He put up at
farm house that night and at an early hour
the next morning he went out to harness
his steed and resume his journey. Not
being giant in physique, Mr.. Bear was at
a loss for time to know how to get the
harness on 'fOld Charley" Finally a
bright thought struck him and he tied the
horse to the lower hinge of the barn door,
head snug 20 the hinge, and then essayed to
slip the harness on over his head. But the
horse thought otherwise, and when Mr.
Bear had his hands full of harness, the
horse lifted his powerful head and neck
with such effect as to lift the huge door
right off its hinges. Down it came with
crash and away went "Old Charley
toward home as fast as he could travel,
and Jonas after him. He had q tramp of
about three miles, and found the morse at
home all right His days work, however
was not as profitable as usual.
