Adjutant General Butler, Ia his report to
the Governor, makes reference to one or two
matters Of Importance that are deserving Of
consideration. The most important and the
one that should receive early attention
from the Legislature Is West virgina's war
record. General Butler was appointed In
November, 1881, and he states that the work

ance were neither few nor far between.
Nearly every air was encored. The cast was
as follows: "strephon," Mr. Charles w.

Fairy Queen" Miss Geneveive Reynolds;
Leila" Miss Louise Eising; Cecilia, /" Miss
Alice Butler; "Feta," Miss Lucy MITCHELL
Phyllis" Miss Blanche Chapman. The cho.
rus was strong. The humOr OF the opera Is
like that Of "piuaiore," "the Pirates" and
patience" though the libretto Is not equal
to Gilbert's efforts In the first or last named
operas, the humor being often forced and
some OF the lines rather silly. As regards
the music, It does not "catcli" the people as
did sulliyan's other operas, but 1t has melo.
dies OF a higher order, and gratifies the mu-
stefan by It's beautiful orchestration. The
only fault OF the performance last night was
the fact that an inferior orchestra was
substituted for the original. The gems
OF the opera are "IolantheS" song, "He
loves" and the duet between phyllis" aud
"strephon," None shall part us, Spare
not the molly born" and when Britain
really ruled the waves" are particularly en-.

Mrs. Nickerson's Case.

WASHINGTON, May 49, 1t Is under.
stood that Mrs. A. Il. Nickerson, who
arrived In New York q few days ago
from Europe, where she has been for
three years, will Immediately institute
legal proceedings to set aside the de-
cree of divorce obtained by her hus-
husband, Major Nickerson, U. s. A,
In Philadelphia q few weeks ago. Her
friends furnish for publication the fol-
lowing version af the case:
Mrs. Nickerson knew nothing of the
divorce until news of the husbands
marriage was telegraphed her by
frleuds. A story having been circu-
lated that she abandoned him aud re-
manned by preference In Europe SO
long, her friends are anxious to have
1t known that she had no choice but
to remain there, as her repeated en-
treaties to be allowed to return with
her child were ignored or refused by
her husband, and she had not the
means to return until she appealed to
relatives, from whom she kept the story
of her troubles until the last moment
Major Nickerson will undoubtedly be
court martialed.
