The strike in Prospect Mountain
Tunnel.

From Mr.. ]. J. Kermeen. who visited
Prospect Mountain Tunnel yesterday, and
who enjoys the reputation Of being a miner
of frst-rate Judgment, and who is always
reputed to speak within bounds, we learn
that the reported strike has the appearance
Of being substantial. He says that there
Is an ore body crossing the Tunnel at an
angle Of about 40 degrees ; that where IL
comes in on the right hand side il has
been penetrated three feet. The first foot
passed through Is IN iron pyrites ; the
other two feet show ore that looks we'll.
1t has not been assayed yet, hence its value
is not known. How much further in than
the three feet the ore extends cannot be
known. Of course, until prospected. Only
n portion Of the ore. about one-half the
width of the Tunnel, has been uncovered.
The ore is carbonates and galena, mixed
with oxide of iron, evidently carrying gold.
Work has been stopped and will not be re-
sumed until Tuesday, when q new contract
will be let. The Tunnel has been worked
about six years, and pushed 1880 feet, at
about $40 per foot. At this rate $37. 900
has been expended economically, and, the
prospect is, very probably.

Girl as q Singer.

Girl as q singer.
A letter from DR.. Wixom to q friend in
Austin, dated Pisa, Italy, Jan. 20, has just
been received. 1t contains principally an
account of the most recent triumphs Of his
daughter, Miss Emma Nevada, says the
Austin Reveiile, in her operatic singing
tour in that section. The numerous
friends of the young lady in Austin, where
she made her home and grew mp from
childhood, will be pleased to learn Of her
great and uninterrupted success. At Genoa
she gave six representations OF "Somnam-
bula;," at Florence she appeared six
times in "Mignon," and on the 22d Of
December came to Pisa. Since that date
she has given twelve representations. four
OF Faust" four of "Somnambula," four
of the Barber of Seville" and the last,
on the evening previous to the date OF the
letter, was a mixed opera; selections from
"Somnambula" and " Lucia de Lammer-
moor" being given. On this occasion the
theater was densely crowded and the audi
ence very enthusiastic. She was many
times called before the curtain, presented
with bouquets and baskets of choice flowers,
laurel wreaths and a magnificent tank, COM
posed Of silver and glass containing . live
goldfish, with the words, "Long live the
Queen of Song" engraved upon it. A
procession of 1000 people, with torches
and a band of 50 pieces, escorted her car
riage home from the theater, and about
8 o'clock in the morning 600 students from
the University gave her a serenade. She
was engaged to go to Florence next and
give 10 representations Of "Faust" and
"Somnambula," then to Rome for eight
representations of the same. The young
lady naturally feels highly pleased with
her wonderful success, and joins her
father in kind regards to their friends in
this section, wishing the best of prosperity
to old Austin and her good people.

Amateurs M Night.
A tolerable audience greeted the Ruby
Hill amateurs at the Eureka Opera House
last night, in the performance Of Miss
Chester" They rendered the piece very
acceptably. Everybody was pleased. Mrs.
Walters 10 a first-rate actress, and Al ex-
cellent teacher OF stage ~elocution. Much
Of the success Of the entertainment 10 due
to her energetic drilling. The ANA
tours, however, worked hard under
her excellent tuition. They have
had their reward in the success OF the
performance. The play is popular in its
structure and interesting throughout. Mr..
Walter Marsden, as Fortescne, showed q
nice appreciation of the character. His
elocution generally was good. Mr.. s. d.
Henry, as Armishaw. had a rather dry part
to play, but he sustained himself in it.
Mr.. c. NJ. Fassett, Rupert, has q fine
stage presence. He acted naturally;
hence, OF course, we'll. Mr.. o. K. Wes-
coat, Earl of Montressor, did not trans
form himself into the character entirely,
but made the representation fairly. Miss
Rachel Frank, Miss Chester, was good.
Her acting would have been better if it
bad been more animated and more varied.
Miss Emily Mette looked very pretty and
played Isabel smoothly. OF course, Mrs.
Walters is an actress OF wide reputation in
the profession. As the Countess Montres-
sor she renowned her own self for the
time and became in spirit the character
she had assumed. 1t would be hard to
conceive how her role could have been
better played.

severe on church Fairs.

Rev. Father Soully Of Cambridge, Mass,
has strong ideas with regard to church
fairs. Speaking Of such fairs, he says:
"They demoralizs our girls more than do
our lowest theaters, for girls. armed with
their church fair book, go forth under re-
ligious and parental sanction where they
please and when they please. entering even
bar-rooms to solicit chances aud votes.
The children think OF nothing but the
fair. Home, church and school are ban
ished. When lager beer is sold In our
churches where fairs are held, how oan we
train our youth to look with horror on the
evils Of rum ?"

The Virginia Chronicle Of Friday last
says The Leavitt troupe closed their en-
gagement here last evening. Their aver
age business has been excellent. but owing
to the dull times on the Comstock at pres
emit, Virginia is no longer q show town
good for more than W. nights for any
one attraction, no matter how meritorious.
No new features were introduced last
evening, with the exception of Miss Flora
Moore's recitation of the laughable
O'Reilly- McDermott dispute, familiar to
all who recently heard Billy Emerson in
his rendition OF that fracas. Miss Moore's
version was fully equal to Emerson's and
was marked with the originality which
characterizes all her efforts. Her imita-
tions Of ]. X. Emmett and Pat Rooney are
faithful copies from the originals. The Da-
venes repeated their fine gymnastic act
with change Of dress. The members OF the
troupe appear to have an unusual variety
of elegant costumes.

A ZIG THING ON ICE.
The Recent international Skating
Tournament at Vienna.

= u AhGVSAhb
Tournament at Vienna.
A Vienna letter to an American paper
says: ~ have already informed you that
the mildness OF the weather decided our
skating authorities to postpone the great
international contest for q week. Even on
colder days the members were not admit
ted TO the ice. which was watered twenty
times q day to improve II as much as pos
sible. Although the weather grew milder
every day as the time for the contest drew
near, the hopeful committee had the place
splendidly decorated with garlands and
f~estoons OF bright green fir branches, drap-
cries and flags. The tribunes were put up
large enough to hold five thousand specta-
tors, and q small space Of the ice was re-
served for the practice Of those skaters who
intended trying for the prizes. The prizes
we're we'll worth seeing. They were exhib-
tied in the windows Of three Vienna jewell
era, and comprised specimens Of every kind
Of goblet, tazza, and drinking-horn, trink-
cts, etc.
1.-THE first prize for figure-skating was q
statuette Of Jackson Haynes, the famous
professional skater, modelled by our first
SCULPTOR, and worth 400 forms, besides q
gold medal worth 500 francs. The win
ners In the contest Of figure-skating were
vieunese, and in racing the Danes were the
winners. OF the two professionals who
commended for q prize for fgure-skating,
an American, Callie Curtis. was winner,
the prize being worth 1000 francs in each
case. The jury was presided over by
Prince ~Schonburg and Baron Rothsohild,
and comprised two Englishmen, q French
man and nine Viennese gentlemen, all. Of
course. first rate skaters. The first prize
for igure-skating was Won by q pupil Of
Jackson Haynes. n Leopold Fret Of vi
emma; the second by q young man OF 10,
named Engelmann. also Of Vienna, and
the third by Axel Paulson Of Christiana.
1.-THE first prize for racing was easily won
by Azel Paulson OF Christiana. who fell
during the race. and yet reached the stake
q sixth time before many OF the others had
reached 1t q fifth time the second prize
was awarded to Mr.. Aune Of Drontheim I;
the third to q deaf and dumb skater. Wer-
ner, Of Christiana. The weather was 30
unfavorable and the ice so soft that the
steeplechase could not be rum. The fancy
dress ball has been given up for the same
reason. The public were highly interested
in all the proceedings. Many bets had
been made. and. large sums were pocketed
by those who backed the foreigners. Two
A~rchdukes, the Princess Metternich, and
many members Of the diplomatic corps
were among the spectators"

Lively Correspondence Between the
Porte and Lord Dufferin-The Greek

CoNsTAETNoPLE, October There has
been a lively correspondence between the
Porte and Lord Dufferin, British Ambassa.
dor, concerning the lsborers engaged in
Turkey for service in connection with the
British expedition to Egypt. These labor
ers are now returning from Port Said,
and IT is reported that the Porte has
threatened them with exile. Lord Dufferiu
was obliged first to deliver q note request
ing that they be permitted to pass the
Dardanelles. Subsequently he sent q note
complaining that. although the steamer on
which they embarked had been permitted
to pass the Dardanelles, It was met on its
arrival at Constantinople BY boat containing
armed police, who prevented the laborers
from landing. At ten O'Clock this morning
they were still detained on the Russian
steamer which brought them from Egypt.
The Captain of the port and some of the
police went on board the steamer to demand
their surrender, but the Captain and agents
OF the vessel refused to give them up. The
British Embassy has demanded a guarantee
for the safety of the lsborers.
This evening Lord Dufferiu dispatched q
second note to the Porte, and compromise
was effected. The laborers landed aud have
been placed under guard until tomorrow,
when they will be released after identifca-
tion. Meanwhile they are comfortably
lodged. The incident is now closed. Lord
Dufferin had determined, previous to the
landing of the lsborers, that II he did not
receive guarantee for their safety he should
have them forwarded to Odessa tomorrow
on board the same vessel on which they
arrived here.
NJ. Condouriotis, the Greek Minister here,
had an interview to-day with Said Pasha, the
Turkish Prime Minister, during which he
declared that Greece would not renounce

Porte.
