EpMpty DuMpty, To Night.

The Humpty Dumpty at the Opera

George Il. Adams and Adam FoYeuaugtl q
famous Humpty DumE,y and Star Spe-

tendance WAS large. and, from the cut hns-
iasm displayed by the audience, the per-
formauce was success. 1t is without
doubt the strongest PAL, tomime orgaDlzt
ton ewes brought to tnis city. Adams, as
the clown, is still at the heaa, apd his
equal would be hard to find. James
Adams, a brother of the star, plays Pan

The Josephine Reiley Troune

The ''Pygmalon and Gala ea' Of this
troupe Wednesday night showed Staunton
the best troupe, take it from the stars to
the humblest member, that has played in
our Opera House. Miss Kelley is a fine
actress aud barring QUE or two little man
nerisms her methods are perfect. Freder-
ick Paulding isa splendid actor, and Misses
Ada Dow, Alice Bfooks and Fannie
Brough and Mr.. Lefflngwell, were all ex-
celent. The appointments OF the plays
used by the company are expensive and
rerfec5, an l the dresses of the artists are
up to the highest requiem ats Of stage
c0stuminy. Had the merits Of thu troupe
been better known, fewer of our playgoers
would have missed seeing them.

The Onera at the onera House.

The fashionable event of the season will
certainly be the appearance at the Opera
| House, Monday night, February 4th, of
the distinguished prim. d)nna, Nine.
Minnie Hauk The performance consists
first of concert part, aud will conclude
with the complete fourth act from the
opera Faust" Her company is of rare
excellence. and are well known in the
lyric world. Minnie II aux gave concert
in Richmond, a few vtrlrgs sir ce,
and the Dispatch Of that city says Minnie
is whole troupe herself. You may pro-
nounce her name "Hock." but she is a
full hottie of "Carmenated champagne"
Since her concert in Richmond she has
visited Charleston and the NeUs and COu-
raer says: cit was a fascinating per-
Torrance IN every way. and the high quail
ity of the entertainment was fully appre-
ciated. The only Objectionable feature
was the enthusiasm of the audience, and
in fact golden opinions were formed of
her," She has since appea ed in Savan-
nah, and the Neaos says: The house was
crowded, and 1t was the choicest mus cal
festival that Savannah audience has en-
;oyed for some time, and last night she
charmed an Augusta audience
In Augusta, Ca, which was visited
next, the great prima donna was greeted
by the largest audience for several years.
| and of her appearance in Atlanta, Ga.
the Constitution says THE concert was
choice musical festival, successful in an
artistic and popular sense, and its high
quality was fully appreciated, in fact it
was the finest musical entertainment
witnessed in the city for many years. -
The advice to our citizens is-go and
secure good seat, advice that is worth
taking, for on the first day the box sheet
at Olivier was opened, nearly one hun
dred seats were taken.

Rebecca was we'll known among large
number of stock dealers. She was so sue
cessful in all her busiress ventures that
she amassed quite snug fortune. She
did not miDgle freely with either SEX. but
gave her principal attention to business.
Her eyes are brown and her complexion
slightly broDzed like ole who had been
exposed to the sun. The supposed woman
never had any sign of beard, and her
voice is not unfeminine.
As Miss Payne's business often led her
to Winchester while she was woman,
her tall. commanding person was fami-
liar one on the Baltimore and Ohio trains,
and all the conductors enjoyed her ac-
quaintance. These gentlemen. among
whom are Conductor Clarence g. New

Branch, and Conductor John Doll. on the
Winchester accommodation from Balti

THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON
THE POISONING AT THE LUNATIC
ASYLUM.
In the House on Wednesday morning
the Committee which visited Stanton to
investigate the recent poisoning at the
Western Lupatic Asylum presented their
report through Mr.. Opie. chairman. in
which they stated substantially that
whether the poisoning was done 10y parties
inside or outside of he asylum, by accl-
dent or design, the management was to
be blamed.
The report also says that there exists,
however, not the slightest scintilla of ev-
idence to show that the poisoning was
done by parties ou side of the asylum
AS to the Piukerton detective, the
committee is of The opinion that he is a
cheat and fraud. wi ose purpose was to
eXtOrt money from the Superintendent,
who testified that he bad paid him one
thousand dollars and still considered him
in his pay at IS per diem.

committee regret the partisan Split which
pervaded the entire management. aud
which seemed in many Instances to over
step the plain mandates of duty as applied
to faif hful service. Your Committee found
that the old, tried. and efficient Ulcers
and after dantS were summary removed
for no other cause than that they were
Democrats, and their places were filled by
untried and inexperienced CoahtionIsts,
who were called upon by the Coalition
county chairman to contribute of their
DAY sums OF money to be used for election
purposes.
1t was in evidence that these assess
mentS were literally responded to by the
officers and attendants, from the Superln-
tendent down to the humhlest employee,
with one or two exceptions.
Your committee considers that too
much cannot be said in condemnation of
this policy The public charities of the
State should BIZ conducted upon higher
plane than party politics, and honesty and
fidelity IN the discharge of duty should

IN an obituary of Hon. j. q. DAVIS, Says:
He was recognized as one of the ablest
and most unanSWeratle debaters who ever
went upon the hustings of the State So
keen was his satire and so 1nexhaustible
his stock of applicable anecdotes that few
dared subject themselves to the whitening
warfare which he waged against his op-
ponents. Had his splendid ability been d.
rected and controlled as 1T bright have
been, it would have led him to enviable
eminence.
