Tho Theatre.

Last night the Hess Opera Company
opened a weOk's engagement at the Rich
mond Theatre TO q full house. nOtwith-
standing the ugly outlook the weather pre-
sented. The opera selected for the occa-
sion was FlOtow's Martha. always popular,
and most exceedingly we'll rendered last
night. Miss Abbie Carrington had not
been forgotten, but last night her clear So
prano voice and sweet musical notes made
her more than ever favorite. The rivalry
between Miss Emma ElSner, whose rich
contralto voice attracted deserved admira-
ton. and Miss Darlington, was distinctly
marked.
The chorus was strong and well-traned,
and the OrchestratiOn. stagc-mounting. and
general presentation OF the opera showed
distinct merit. The company is the largest
one that has been in Richmond this season,
and may be Justly classed among the best
that has vet appeared on our boards.
Tonight the Mascotte viii be played
when Mr.. Henry Peakes will make his first
appearance in this opera here. He was
billed last night as Plunket in the opera
Martha, but this was a mistake. Mr.. Mark
Smith filled this r6le most accepfably. Miss
Blanche Chapman, james Peakes, A. W.
Tams, and Thomas Christy will appear in
the cast tonight.

tects OF your own fortunes. Rely on your
own strength OF body and soul. Take for
your star self-relancc. InScribe on your
banners Luck is fool. Pluck is hero
Don't take too much advice. Keep at the
helm and steer your own ship, and remem-
ber that the art OF commanding is to take a
fair share Of the work. Think well OF
yourself Strike ont. Assume your own
position Put potatoes in a cart and go
over a rough road, and the small ones 90
to the bottom. Rise above the envious and
the jealous; fire above the mark you in
tend TO hit. Energy, inyincible determi-
nation, with right motive, are the levers
that move the world. Don't swear. Don't
deceive. Don't read novels. Don't marry
until you can support wife. BE civil.
Read the paper. Advertise your business.
Make money and do good with it. Love
your God and felow-men. Love truth aud
virtue. Love your country and obey all
