The Oneida Community of New
York was brought before the Ameri-
can people mor than ever in the
Guiteau trial. Guitcau belonged to
this tribe once.
For about thirty years there has
been a set of would-be religious peo-
pie, principally in the State of New
York, known as the Oneida Commu-
nifty. They were a sccrctive people.
and for many years little was known
about their peculiar practiccs-to all
outside appearances they were indus
trious and inoffensivt. But within
the past few years the public began
to be Informed regarding this extra
ordinary lot. and lately tilc leader
Il man by the name Of ~NoNcs-has
found it convenient to Sojourn in
Canada to avoid criminal prosecu-
ton. In fact, there Is no doubt from
all that is now known, that this cOlD-
munity-Which now consists Of sew
eral hundred persons is, and has
been all the time Il moral pest! A
social moustrosity-evea worse than
polygamy-thc latter does reconize
some form of marriage and paternity.
The Oneida people are opposed to
marriage, and their fatherless dis
graced offspring, of whom there are
great numbers, are taken from their
mothers at a very tender age and
huddled together in one common
nurscry-and these children are
hardly in their teens before they,
also, are turned loose to lives of sem
suality and animal license being not
merely permitted, but directed and
assigned to the most disgusting prac.
tees. Think of g community grow
ing for thirty years, in the State OF
New York, in which there are hun,
| dreds of children who do not know
their WI fathers-where modesty
and virtue is scofed at as the
.saueamishness of women;" wherf
love of husband, wife and family is
unknown, and the purity of innocent
girls not yet women, is debauched te
satisfy the lust of the leaders and
self-styled religious teachers, who
drink damnatiop to its very dreg'
by covering their crime with tn.
cloak of pretended inspiration
These seem to be conditions, moi
oyer drawn, of the Oneida commu

A Grievance that Should be Remedied.
To the Editor of the LEDGE
There has been considerable com
plant this eason in regard to the
manner in which purchasers of re-
served seats to entertainments at the
opera house have been deprived of
the same. Whether this is through
carlessness en- the part of the mana
ger or "private speculation in tick
cts by those who issue them, l am
not prepared to say. II is a great
grievance at any rate and should be
remcdied. Especially is this notice.
able when there is a first-class enter
tainment to be held and seats are in
great demand, therefore it cannot al
ways be charged to carelessness. l
attend a great many entertainments
at the opera house and there is a
wrangle about seats almost every
evening. Society and the citizens in
general owe a great deal to Manager
Armstrong for the number of first
class entertainments he has brought
to Mexico this season, but If these
plumbers continue it will have q ten
dency to lessen the attendance OF
regular patrons. People do not wish
to attend entertainments unless they
have some assurance of getting the
seat their ticket calls for. | might
mention several instances where par
ties were deprived of their seats but
will refrain, only hoping the energet.
ic little manager will improve as the
season advances and pay more atten'
ton to the comfort Of the audience.

A WISE
The Opera House to be Enlarged and I'm
proved. with a Seating Capacity
of One Thousand.

In conversation with q LEDGER re-
yesterday, Mr.. Kabrich, the
proprietor, stated that just as soon
as arrangements could possibly be
made, he would commence the work
of rebuilding and otherwise improy-
ing the opera house. Mr.. kabrlch
also says he will spare neither time
or money in making it one of the best
appointed theater buildings in the
country, and to this end the work of
renovation from top to bottom, will
be at once commenced, under the
supervision of experienced architects.
The seating capacity of the building,
when completed, will be 1000. The
dress circle-or orchestra chairs
will be raised gradually from the
stage, so that each person a get a
good view of the performance, this
department seating 400 people CON-
fortably. The parquet will contain
200 and the balcony $50 regular
opera chairs. On either side of the
stage, which will be enlarged to 2Ox
80 feet, will be private boxes, fur
nished in a cosy manner, which will
be entered by the main hall to bal
cony, thence to boxes. The gallery,
| which will extend around the entire
building, will be made to easily &C.
commodate 250 persons. Two pri-
vate dressing rooms-one for ladies
and the other for gentlemen-will be
erected at the west end Of the stage,
which will be a great convenience to
theatrical people. A magnificent
drop-curtain will be put in with other
appropriate stage scenery. In case
of fire Mr.. Kabrich very thoughtfully
will provide four ways of escape
from the building, so that no danger
may be apprchended on this point by
the audience. This fine structure,
when finished, will cost its owner
$25, 900, and be says when Mexico
demands a larger place of amusement
he is willing to erect it, at any
cost, and, if needs be, have it lighted
by electricy, with other modern i'm
provements. We say, hurrah foI
Kabrich!
