AMUSEME NTS.

Joe Murphy in "Shaun Rhue" drew the
biggest house Of the season last night.
The operetta, "Golden Hair and the Three
Bears" given at Turner Hall on last evening,
was a very pretty moroccan, splendidly played.
1t was enthusiastically applauded by an au.
dience of 100 or more. II will be repeated
this afternoon at 2 O'Clock, at the same place.
Miss Alice Oates and her company will pre-
sent Often bachs latest and best opera, emit
tied LA Jole Pariumeuse," an Tuesday
night, Feb. 9th, and from present indications
twill draw a house nearly equal to Murphy.
The company and piece are new in Ottawa,
and everybody is going to see them.
On Friday night, the 9th inst Hearne's
Hearts OF Oak" which has been playing
this week at Hooley's Theatre, in Chicago,
will be gives at the Opera House with all its
magnificent scenery and mechanical effects.
Mr.. Hearne has been playing some five years
in the large cities, and this is the first time
town as Ottawa lie has q great play and
magnificent scenery, which all should see.
We publish the following press notice:
The story OF that romantic play, "Hearts
OF Oak" which has been told successfully
several timee on our local stage in seasons
past, is being rehearsed again at this theatre.
Its popularity seems not to have ebated dur.
ing its absence, for the theatre was packed,
upstairs and down. The play is an interest.
ing one, full of pathos and simple humanity,
with many incongruities, but numerous good
effects. Its story and its characters appeal
strongly to the tender sympathies Of the heart
and its humor Is refreshing and pleasing.
The play is clean and pure throughout has
no doubtful character or questionable Incl.
dent, and the dialogue is simply direct. 1t is
play the tendency OF which is to better hu.
man nature, even though it operates in q
homely and sometimes overweight way.
The cast Is a good one. The piece WAS ad.
mirably presented as to scenery, the several
pictures being very effective and complete.
This play will continue to be the attraction
throughout the week, and will no doubt be
well patronized. - Chicago Inter. cream, Fen. 6,

discrimination can cease."is not at all to
the point. THE BULLETIN said tina, the re-
suit of high grade would be rapid growth
of the city, and the result of this would be
that the Interests of the railroads centrrg
here would dictate change Of rates in
Ca,ro's favor, which dictates would be
obeyed. But the Argus calls the first OF
the foregoing propositions a "dogma,ical"
one, the RESPONSIVENESS of which, it init
mates, "few people can see, unless the rail
roads will permit the town to enjoy the ad.
vantages that belong to it, and with this
privilege it would grow fast enough with.
out any change of grade."-The Argus is
mistaken. There is nothing unresson able
about the statement that high
grade would produce rapid growth
of the city. 1t is susceptible of the most
positive proof and its force has been time
and again brought home TO our people.
We know that the first remark of strangers
coming to our city most always is, "why
don't you fill up2' We know that other
cities, similarly situated as Cairo is, took a
sudden start upward and onward after fill
Ing up aud became great centres of wealth
and people and commerce; We know that
the high grade movement here has already
attracted the attention of our neighbors
near and far, that it was the subject of much
comment by prominent men in the large
cities all around US and of interesting cor
respondence between them and those in
terested here; We know that our low grade
has prevented men of means, seeking loca-
ton for investing there idle money, from
coming here; we know that to cite very re-
cent instances, it prevented gentleman
from Kentucky, with thirty thousand dollars
in ready money which he desired to place
in business of some kind, from locating
here, and also induced the Singer company
10 choose South Bend instead Of Cairo as
location for its two hundred and fifty
dollar pow factory recently established by
til # company. We know all this and much
more, and every sensible and reasonable man
i, satisfied that low grade has been CairoS
only curse that has overshadowed all her
many advantages and blighted her pros
poets, and yet there are those among US
flew in numbers, though, for which
no thanks to the Argus who hug the
curse to their bDsoms AS the blint hugs his
little brown jug Now, as the lack OF
high grade alone has prevented men OF
wealth from establishing large industries
among us, it is perfectly reasonable TO ex.
pect that the accomplishment. Of high grade
will induce such men and such industries
to come here. And as for tae Argus in.
timation that it is impossible to do bust.
ness here until the railroads adjust their
traffic rates ia Caro's interest, we beg
leave TO refer that paper again to the men
who are daily refuring that very silly asser.
ton and b we been doing so steadily for
years, BY building up trades equal to those Of
seine Of the great firms Of the larger cities.

The Argus certainly did not coustrue
The BULLETINS meaning correctly. and tue
misconstructon is so gross, in view of the
clear language used, that We are inclined to
believe it the result of purpose rather than
honest error. THE BULLETIN did not say
that high grade would induce the railroads
to stop discriminating against Cairo in
their freight rates; therefore the Argus sug-
gestion that "it is in order to interview the
railroads terminating or touching at this
point, to find out what city grade it is
necessary to establish to induce them to
stop discriminating against Cairo and how
much filling work must be done before the
