BALL AND BAZAAR.

 The American Theater will be open this afternoon and evening and the last perform ances of the fsTourista, in a Palace Carn company will be given. The programme contains brilliant olio and an amusing play.
 UNCLE JOSHUA wHITooMB.
 The large audience at Carlps Opera House were as much amused as ever at the funny say ines aud doings of ''Uncle Josh" MT. Denman Thompson, who has so completely identified himself with the character of the old Jackson Democrat from New Hampshire, evidently does not believe in a performance in which the star is the sole attraction. Be- sides first class supporting company, who interspersed the play with several fine musical selections, the entertainment was rendered still more enjoyable by a super b orchestra of eleven pieces including MT. Nickerson, a cornet soloist of no ordinary merit. The performance was equal to those of the best metropolitan theaters and the audience appreciated it. No more complete entertainment has been offered our theeter- goers this season.
 THE DANITEs.
 'The Danites" was presented at the New Haven Opera House last night to a rather slim audience. The play is on the whole good, although the action is in parts strained and unnatural. The parts of the Judge Billy Piper and the Danites were best sustained. Bunker Hill, played by Miss Dickson waa very well done and her singing eIicited de- served applause. The cool villainy of the two Danites was well expressed in both their makeup and actions. The Parson-weu named, since he "couId outswear any man fin the camp, was also well performed by MT. Charles Godfrey. The most striking incident in the play is the death scene, when ssNancv Williams" and her protector Sandy fall by the bullets of the Danites, and next to this, per- haps, the appearance of the Parsonaafter his stroke of paralysis. The great fault of the play lies in the merging of the tragic in the ridiculous.

MUNICIPAL COURT.
Saturday N''h,'s II Hearings-A
Youthful Thief.

| As usual there was large crowd
present at the hearings before the NUM-.
cipal Court last Saturday evening.
Judge Cummins presided, and the first
case disposed of was that of Georeiana
Brown, Annie Jones and Tillie Hamil-
ton, all COLOR d, WHO were charged with
the larceny of several articles OF wearing
apparel from the dressing room ut Miss
+. d. Frazier's select school, at No. g3l
Market street.
The testimony showed that the ar.
tiGles taken, which consisted of two
coats, two hats, handkerchief and a.
pair of gloves, belonged To two OF the
pupils, Miss Mary Hanson of Mt. Cuba,
and daughter of Benjamin Nields,
Esq, and tat Tillie Hamilton, who is
only about 10Iyears of age had been seen
coming out of the school with bundle.
When she was arrested she confessed to-
Sergeant Hatton that she had taken rhe
goods and conveyed them to the house
Of Annie Jones and Georgiana Brown
on Lafayette street, and that after
wards she had sold one of the bats, .
coat, handktr rchief and gloves at Sec
ond hand store kept by Samuel Bell,
were afterwards recovered.
Mrs. Bell was called to the stand, and
testified that she had bought the clothes
from the girl, as she told her that She
had been sent to sell them by her
to get money to purchase food.
She had given her fifty CENTS for the''
hat, and three cents tor the handker-
chief, but in answer to question by
the Judge said she supposed the hand
kerchief was worth at least fifty cents
Miss Frazier testified that the hat
was worth over So, the coat about $40,
the handkerchief 81, and the gloves 20
cents Judge Cummins said that he
would dismiss the charge of larceny
against Georgiana Brown and Annie
Jones, but would give them a hearing
Oh the charge of receiving stolen goods.
The evidence Of Tillie Hamilton was
hen taken against them, and she testi-
lied that Annie Jones had sent her out
10 sell the things, but had kept onesof
he hats and coat. The Judge asked
her ifshe had ever been arrested before,
and she answered that she had been
charged with larceny twice.
Judge Cummins ordered Georgiana
Brown and Annie Jones to furnish bail
in the sum of $500 each to answer at
Court tor receiving stolen goods, and
rillie Hamilton 500 for larceny He
then turned his attention to Mrs. Bell,
and beld her in $500 bail for pnr-
chasing stolen goods.

HumpiY DUMMY.

George H. Adams Humpty Dumpty
Company gave an excellent and very
entertaining performance at the Opera
House on Saturday evening that was
well attended. George II. Adams AZ
the "Clown" and James II. Adams as
Pantaloon" never did better, and
conclusiyely proved that they are the
best performers in that line now before
tie public. Miss Julia Maltinetti made
an excellent Columbine, and the char
acter Of" Jacco, Monkey" was adj
mirably taken by Miss Louise A.
Leslie. The principals were well sup
ported by the entire company, and there
are many new tricks and situations in
troduced into this old but ever popular
pantomime. The specially performances
was excellent in every respect, espec-
tally the vocal efforts of Professor Wal
lace, who without any mechanical all
sistance initiates perfectly the singing
of the canary bird, the thrush, nightin-
gale, mocking bird and others. The
MarIitnettes Vivants by Mr.. and
Mrs Tissot were wonderful, and the
last scene, which represents midnight
cat courtship, brought down the house.

Literary Notes from the Century

A striking literary feature of the May
Century will be Julian HawthOrne's
paper on "The Salem Of Hawthorne, "in
which the scenes of Nathaniel Haw-
thrones daily life and of his romances
are described with personal knowlege
and an insight which only a literary
son could command. Incidentally,
much new light is thrown on the char
acter of the father and on the relations
of his scenes and his people to real
places and persons. Harry Fem has
made several pictures for the paper.
Two new Serials will begin in the May
st. Nicholas, one by Maurice Thomp-
son, entitled Marvin and bis Boy
Hunters, in which the suther will en-
deavor to treat the question Of guns for
small boys and the other, The Scar
let Tanager, by j. T. Trowbridge, the
story of the adventures ofa young natu-
ralist in his efforts to secure specimen
of this rare bird.
