ADJUSTMENTS.

week being one OF unm1tlgated lnanity
and dullness. 1t is quite within the range
of probability to imagine that if the
stranger coming within our gates had not
had his attention drawn to the ragged and
weather beaten bills on William boards,
he would never have suspected
that an entertainment had ever been
given in st. Paul. When it
it is said that the entire week has gone by
without an entertainment at the Opera
house, the situation is expressed in a nut
shell. For this, perhaps, the amusement
patrons of this city have reason to be
thankful, for when the number of poor
midsummer shows that are working" the
natives are recalled to mind, one can i'm
aglne what an immense deal of dramatic
rot has been escaped. Soon, however, it
IS to be hoped, the situation will change,
and, moreover, when the new Opera house
shall have burst in all its glory from the
shell of scantlings, rafters, derricks, and
things that have numbered the vicinity of
Fourth and Wabashaw streets, for 10, these
many months, a state of affairs as the
present should not be possible. The Opera
house dates for the ensuing week have not
been filled, and the dreary dearth of amuse-
ments must be endured for week longer.
