Miscellany.
Mr.. Charles Ha;nes. Of the St. Paul Opera
house, is out OF town taking q rest. which is
greatly needed. BE has briefly laid aside every
thing pertaining to the art which holds a
mirror upto nature, aud gone to quaf respite
and repenthe from NATURES own bounteous
and benignant bosom. In plain United States
language, he has gone to roll
on the grass mid the buttercups and daisies.
Had he chosen to rest his limbs here he could
have made him bed Of the kilograms that he
received from show parties everywhere. This
demonstrates to some extent the trouble that
1t costs to run first-class theater and have
TO deal with class Of people who are PAM
pered and petted, under the starring system,
by the powers Of earth until they get into the
habit OF debating terms to everybody. They
can't dictate to Charlie Haines, and vet the
cream of the profession will appear at his
Opera house next season. Hence those dead
loads Of kilograms.

may look for most superior entertainment
In the first place the opera is the wittiest and
most musical work of the most popular COM
posers of the age, MessIs. Gilbert & Sullivan,
and its satire is directed against the disciple
of 9theticism-Oscar Wilde and his followers
In the second place the characters are con-
tided to people who not only excel as singers
but who come nearer TO being the ideals OF
the authors than have yet been seen in Chicago
II we may believe the entire press of that city
The pride of Chicago. however, is the pride
OF the west, for the members of this COM
pany, though now of Chicago, were once of
the ''prairies of he west" Jessie and Josie
Bartlett, Jeanne Herrick, Jennie Dutton and
several OF the chorus ladies are from the
interior of this state and Iowa. Others are
from Wisconsin and Minnesota, while many,
OF course, are natives OF Chicago. The great
strength of this company lies in the fact that
the artists, the chorus, the orchestra, the
costumes of the ladies and the brilliant uni
forms of the gentlemen combine TO give q
completeness of ensemble never before equal
ed in this country"

tienee.' This opera is the pronounced success
of the company, and the singing and
