LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
R1oE's. SURPRISE PARTY.

almost entirely changed, but equal satiSfac-
ton was given, which is saying a great deal,
for no more popular combination has visited
us in many year. The audience testified It's
hearty appreciation of the different artists tv
frequent and generous applause, and numer-
Gus recalls. l. would be hard to conceive of
three hours of more unrestrained mirth and
merriment than we're enjoyed by thcse who
attended the performance last night The
company consists of twelve artists, each one
performing his or her part in a most credit
able manner. Where the SUCCESS Of each is
so marked as on last evening, it il difficult in
briet notice to properly get forth the merits
Of either but some of them deserve spe-
cisl mention. John A Macksy is the peer
OF any comedian who ever appeared upon the
boards at the Metropolitan, and his imita-
tiens fully equal those Of the best on any
stage. His every movement was mirth pro-
voking, and he kept the audience 10 a roar
OF laughter whenever be appeared. His
drollery is simply iuimitable. Miss Kate
Castlemsn took the audience by storm IN
For Goodness Sake Don't Say Teld You, ?"
In which she made some excellent local hits.
She 10 personally attractive, and full Of lie
and p,qu9ncy. Miss Irene Perry is one Of
the most versatile and pleasing artists seen
upon the boards OF the Metropolitan in long
time. She sings well, is very attractive in

dramatic talent. Miss Lille Grub Il also
an excellent artist, and so is Miss May Stem,
bier. The former last night filed all of her
own parts and also another, on account Of
the indisposition of George K. Fortescue,
who was suffering from severe cold and
hoarseness. That gentleman, although he
could scarcely speak above whisper, gave
hint of what he viii be when he regains his
voice. D. Gormsu, as Knous, proved him
an LIANT I'll, n.
whole the performance was an excellent one,
and deserves liberal patronage. The same
company will appear this and tomorrow
evenings and at a matinee Saturday.
IMPORTED DIsC0URTEsY.- the Assem-
bly, known, what it is now probably aware of,
it certainly would have chosen Sergeant at
Arms possessed of the first qualification neces.
sary for that oficsr-common politeness. The
lack Of il in the present incumbent may be
an infrmity; it is none the less an inaieiion
upon the public whose employee he is. His
lack OF politeness does not, however, extend
to the Assistant Sergeaut-at- Arms, although
the atmosphere of the Office is affected by the
disoourt5sy of the principal. This self-is-
p1rtant Chief" who conducts himself as If
the whole weight of the rev admins
trstion was upon his shoulders, on being
applied TO by member Of the press for a
common courtesy, was very rudely repulsed
and informed that his excellency, the Ser
geant, was the enemy of Q class OF corpora
tiODs for which he violently assumed the
gentleman he insulted WAS responsible. Be-
ing requested 80 reserve in his office the bills
usually accorded to this paper, instead of
placing them upon the stsnographe1's desk,
from which they are sometimes removed, an
attac1e and dependent Of the Sergeant, after
some hesitation, gave the Information that
the fee for the service would be SIS for the
session. An otfic5r Of the executive depart
menb of tee State University was rudely re.
pulsed il the same effiee. Generally this
officer conducts himself more IS an autocrat
than Is a political dependent. In marked
contrast is the administration of the Sergeant.
alarms Of the Senate, where politeness and
courtesy is the unvarying rule.
