ADJUSTMENTS.
AT THE GRAND.

Amusement circles have been in q
fiutter all this week, occasioned by the
appearance of the famous beauty, Mrs.
Langtry, at the opera house. The audi
ences have been large and fashionable.
and the majority have been satisfied.
Mrs. Langtry is very ordinary actress,
but this was very well understood before
her appearance in this city. She is GER
tainly beautiful woman, but not by any
means the most beautiful her many
Denver admirers have ever seen. The
company supporting Mrs. Langtry is not
good one, and the performances have
not been satisfactory from an artistic
standpoint. However, the engagement
has been successful one, and Denver
has had the proud distinction of doing
homage to famed beauty.
Next week the great French society
star, Mile. Rhea. will play an engage
ment at the Tabor, supported by astrong
company. Mile. Rhea is said to be un-
equaled in her line by any actress of the
present day. and she is greeted with
packed houses wherever she appears.
Following is the repertoire for the week: }:
Monday and Friday, School for Scan
dal Tuesday and Saturday matinee,
"Frou-Frou;" Wednesday, "Adrienne
Lecoeurvre;" Thursday, Unequal
Match )" Saturday, much Ado About
Nothing"
THE ACADEMY. -
The re-opening of the Academy of
Music, under the management of the
McFadden brothers, proved an event in
Denver. The house has been renovated,
decorated and beautifed, and it Is now
one of the pleasantest theaters in the
west. Miss Charlotte Thompson, sup
ported by Mr.. c, G. Craig and fine
company, has been the attraction of the
opening week, and notwithstanding the
Langtry engagement at the Tabor, the
Academy has been comfortably filled at
each performance. Those of Denver's
theater-goers who did not before know
it are now convinced that Charlotte
Thompson is an actress of rare merit.
She has taken a firm hold upon the
hearts of all good judges and true lovers
of the dramatic art, by her delineations
of the emotions of the human heart.
The gentle and refined manners of Miss
Thompson and the musical tones of a
deep, pathetic voice draws her audiences
irresistibly to her.
Owing to the renewed popularity of
the lady and the great success of this
week, the management of the Academy
has made arrangements with Miss Thomp-
sons manager for second weeks en-
gagement, commencing on next Monday
evening, June 9. A fine repertoire has
been selected for the week, and all who
can should see this artistic lady in as
many of her characters as possible. Pop
uar prices. 70, 81 and rs cents.

Pardon this Deviation,

From the Hayes Valley Advertiser.
We take the following from that ex-
cellent labor paper, the Baltimore Labor
Free Press. We join in the hope that
THE ENQUIRER may weather the storm, u
and we say again, as we said some
months ago, that if the workingmen Of
Denver and its vicinity allow THE En-
QU1RER to perish-for lack of the support
which they could 50 easily give-they
deserve to be starved and kicked into
better sense. Here follows the remarks
of the Free Press and an extract from
THE ENQUIRER on which they are based :
"While the Denver Colorado LABOR
ENQUIRER and the Free Press may not
altogether agree as to the means of ac-
complishing certain end, the enfran-
chisement of labor, we are free to con-
fess our admiration for that fearless and
outspoken journal, and the inimitsble
pluck and energy displayed by its editor
in battling against adverse winds, which
have threatened of late to drive his craft
upon the shadows of a lee shore. That
the editor of THE ENQUIRER is a man Of
brains, and has sympathy broad enough
to embrace the humblest laborer in his
efforts to obtain justice in the world, no
reader of his sterling paper may doubt.

BETTER THAN GOLD.

Words of sympathy or appreciation
cost nothing, yet to those for whom they
are intended they are priceless. Several
exchanges have spoken kindly, and with
feeling, believe, concerning the embar-
rasment of THE ENQUIRER, of late, and
to the brOtherly editors who have shown
such solicitude, and who have spoken so
kindly of my humble efforts | extend
my most heartfelt thanks, as hope |
may never be called upon to repay them
in kind.
Brothers, we have been, and are vet
fighting together for noble cause. We
cannot fall together-I would not wish
it so, since to fall now would mean ire
trievable defeat-and though one of us
may occasionally sink beneath the
mighty trials that come upon us, let those
who can retain a foothold cling to it
with a tenacity and determination
worthy of such cause.
THE ENQUIRER may weather the pres
ent storm and be with you many days
yet but if 1t does not | shall manage to
struggle ashore on piece of the rigging
and shall ever be ready to ship again at
the first opportunity.
Let us work and hope, and above all
things, let us pull together.
We cannot leave the subject for the
present, without saying that we regard
the struggle made by the editor of THE
ENQUIRER, Mr.. Buchanan, to keep his
paper alive, under the most painfully
discouraging circumstances, as truly
heroic. We do not agree with him as to
the wisest and best wav of bringing about
certain reforms which all good men must
wish to see inaugurated-but We do most
heartily honor his abilities and his de-
votion to the cause of human progress
and improvement. We should like to
talk to the workingmen of Denver, for
about half an hour, upon their blindness
or ingratitude, in not supporting thell
best and ablest friend, The LABOR EN-
oUIRER,-ED. ADVERTISER.

A knowledge of perfumes reaches to
the most remote antiquity. The Jews
made use of them in the time of Moses.
They were highly esteemed by the
Greeks in the time of the wise but
rigorous Scion. Their use was carried
to excess by the Romans; and finally,
in our times, they appear to have ar
rived at their utmost perfection and
delicacy. It had been reserved also for
the present day to use them in the
greatest profusion. But if the perfumes
that are everywhere found, and can be
extracted by certain processes, may be
used with safety, this can not be said in
every case OF the odors that are natural
ly eXhaled by flowers, leaves or fruits.
Their action on the economy in linn
tied space, and especially during the
night in a closed chamber, deserves to
be noticed. Itmanifests itself by serious
disorder, headache, syncope, and even
by asphyXia if their action is too long
prolonged. In nervous persons numb
ness may occur in all the members,
commissions and loss of voice, but in
general only state of somno1ence, &C
companied by feebleness and retarda-

the flowers that are most deleterious
may be mentioned the lily, shyacinthe,
narcissus, crocus, rose. carnation, hon-

In addition ito the danger caused by
their smell should be mentioned their
seton on the air. During the night
flowers actively produces carbonic acid
which is injurious to health. Magen-
die even cites a case of death caused by
a large bouquet Of lilies which the SUIT

A few days afterward Margaret had

John Mallabarr has gone abroad. He
came here to say goodbye. He looked
very i'll, and hardly spoke. think he
must have gone for his health, though
it seems odd to think of anything being
the matter with him, doesn't it? l asked
him why he was going, and he said be-
cause there was a ghost at Mallabarr
Court. and after consulting the most &C
complished magicians as to how to get
rid of it, they all agreed with him that
paint and paper would be the best
means of exercising it. So he is going
to have a lot of the rooms done up. he
says, but he did not seem to know much
about it. Then inquired where he was
going, but he said be didn't know-he
was going on what the Germans called
"a journey into the blue,' and that
meant Il journey to no one knew where,
the traveller himself least of all. never
knew John to talk in that way before,
and to 90 away before the, hunting is
over, too. He is M. F. II. in these parts,

imagine what the words meant to John
Mallabarr, and with how dreary ring
they sounded in his ears. Perhaps,
had it occurred to Mallabarr to make u

upon Margaret. as she sat at that mo-
ment coming Rupert's letter with wet
eyes, her heart full of rue and pity-a

have settled things diflerently-have
altered the whole course of his life and
hers. But, as it happened, he was at
that very moment at a London railway
terminus, booking himself and his dog
to Paris, with the vague idea that from
that city you.could go out all over the
world, when You had decided to what
quarter of the said world to direct
your steps: and that, should you not
feel disposed for active travelling. it
was a place provided with more and
merrier means of killing time and
drowning sorrow than any other in the
world.

Pall0ne.

The balls used are made of leather
stuffed with chopped hay; but, before
the game commences, water is forced
into them, SO that they become as hard
and almost as heavy, as stones. Some
are about the size of a tennis, others
considerably larger than cricket, ball;
and which are to be used is often the
most difficult point to settle in arranging
match. 1t is great advantage to
powerful men when the heavier bal s are
chosen, while those who depend ON their
agility and sharpness of sig It rather
than their N VASCULAR strength, prefer the
smaller ones. In striking, an instru-
ment is used which. for want of bet
ter name, we may call gauntlet. 1t is
piece of solid wood, followed out so as
to admit the hand; stout rod is left in
the center, which is ii mly grasped,
while two thin diagonal slips separate
the first from the second, and the third
from the fourth finger. To English
men this may appear very inconveni-
ent arrangement, but it must be re-
membered the Italians even in fencing
are accustomed to hold the napier by
the cross-bar of the hilt. which they tie
to the wrist. The outside of the gaunt-
let is fashioned into a rough semblance
of the human hand. and studded over
with blunt knobs OF harder wood, which
are fastened into the original piece.
The wrist and arm are also protected by
thick wooden castings. which are strap
ped or buckled on. It is only one hand
which is s'sheathed'' in this anything
but "glittering mail. ;" the other is left
free. In general it is of coure the right
that bears the burden and the honor;
but strangely enough, several of the
most distinguished pallone-players have
been leit-handed. The regular game is
played by six, there being three on each
side, who are led by the battitore. Each
party has also a mandarino, who gives
the first ball, but takes no further part
in the game. When play commences
the two sides take their places at the
opposite ends of the court, the battitore
of he party which has the first innings
mounts the trampolino, his mandarino
throws, or rather feeds, the ball toward
him, and he rushes down the trampoli-
no and strikes it in the direction OF his
opponents with as much force and SIX II
a he can command. If it passes the
center OF the court and is not returned,
so that it remains lying on the other side
of the cordino. he scores fifteen: the sec
ond time this happens. thirty; the tn I'd
forty; the fourth ball finishes the game.
Two games make a trampolino, and
after each the parties exchange places.
