the Rentz.s.n,Iey company.

Last Saturday evening the Rentz-
Santley Burlesque OperaCompany gave
q fair performance in the Opera House,
to medium sized audience, composed
entirely OF men. Some of the songs
were given in an excellent manner,
while others were nothing more than
ordinary. The performance was not
immoral in any sense, with the excep-
tion of the costumes, and If they are OBJ;
iected to in this company, it will be In
order to object to them in the high
priced opera Companies that have visi.
ted this city in other years, and will
no doubt appear here again during the
present season. 1t seems like folly for
some people to strain at gnat and
swallow camel, or in other words, con-
denim in this company that which they
not only tolerate in other companies, but
patronize and enjoy. II tights are to
be driven from the stage, let the war
be waged on all companies alike.

The Blaine Sian der.

PITTsBURG, Sept 5.-The widow oil
Rev. DIR. Bryan, who is said to have
married James G. Blainein 1861, resides
on Cedar Avenue, Allegheny City.
When asked if she recollected the
marriage, she said: 81 think the Mr..
Blaine he married was cousin of ames
G. Blaine, and resided in Washington
County. My husband knew the Blaine
family well.
"Mr Bryan kept two records of the
marriages performed by him. Onecon
tained the list in full. This was de-
stroyed. In 1855 we left Pittsburg and
went to Memphis, where we remained
some tine. We went down on the
steamboat Metropolis. When she was
near Goa lport, just below Wheeling, the
boilers exploded. My son and several
officers were killed, and Mr.. Bryan's
books We're destroyed. Among them
was the large book"
| The little book containing on.y a
partial list, which had been left in Pitts
burg. was saved. 1t was carefully ex.
amined by Philadelphia Press CORES
pondenr. The records begin in 1871
and end in 1858. There are no mem

TO the tactOr b0hOn8b tho Spoihss
Since the Wilmington and Dover
Glass Works began operations for the
| first time, between the hours Of IL aud
l o'clock on Monday morning last, Sep
tember 1st, there has besn considerable
talk and speculation as to whom be-
longs the honor or credit of blowing
the first glass in Delaware. Both places
claim 1t and the residents OF the two
places tell various stories In reference
/ to the matter. From all accounts the
Wilmington works are justly entitled
/ to the honor of having blown the first
cylinder of glass, which was done be-
tween the hours of ! and 2 O'Clock on
Sunday, August 3lst. The Dover Della
warean, in speaking of the works at
that place, says
" The first glass cylinders were made
by some of the workmen on Sunday af
ternoon, August 31st, at 1.3O O'Clock,
unknown to any of the Board, which,
we have no doubt WAS the first glass
ever made in this State" In the
Sen tiuel of the same cate, that paper
lsays
"The first glass made in Delaware
was blown at the Dover Glass Works,
on Sunday afternoon, about O'Clock. .
The question naturally arises, which
paper is correct in its statement. The
Dover papers, being published weekly
mad the best opportunity for dodgine
the question and getting ahead of the
Wilmington works by making the TINT
of blowing the first cylinder just few
: M minutes or hours ahead of the report
published in the Wilmington papers
In conversation with a number of Do
yer citizens during the past week, near
ly all of them stated upon the first in
, quiry that the first glass was blowI
D about O'Clock ON Sunday, which
statements agree with the Sentinel''
, report, consequently the latter report Ii
the most credited and Wilmington car
ries off the honor of having blown th'
/ first glass In Delaware glass works
by several hours. The DelawareaI
should knuclsle under aud give Will
