AT THE THEATRE.
Nera SemOn's SIeight-Of- Hand - The
MariOnettes an Many Prizes.

Nera SemOn's Sleight- Of Hand The
MariOnettes an Many Prizes.
Prof. Zera SemOn began his weeks en-
kagement at the TAeatre last night before
a full house. The entertainment was in
every way what it was advertised to be-
novel and amusing in every feature. The
audience enjoyed it, and laughed and ap-
plauded in turns. The sleight-Of-hand
and legerdemain part of the performance
was very cleVerly done. SemOn is one of
4he cleyerest performers in the business.
The MariOnettes constituted the second
part Of the entertainment. They were
something new to good many, and the
audience was ready to laugh the moment
the curtain rose, and the seven autOma-
Ion minstrels sat in a semi-circle on an
elevated stage Of their own, set with min
tature scenery, as if waiting for the per-
formance TO begin. They were in Olio with
interlocutor and endmen complete. They
played the bones and banjo, sang songs,
and cracked the same Jokes that MilJ Bar
low, George Wilson and Billy Rice have
been getting of for the past 10 years.
After the minstrel part OF the perform
ance came the speciality features, the Ch l.
nese dancers, horizontal bar performances
andisong and dance men. One 0fthe figures
shat created as much amusement as any
was skeleton. the mechanical ingenuity
Dt which is as remarkable as il Is weird.
This wonderful mechanical delusion exc
cutes dance during Its appearance on the
stage, in which it separates itself into sew
eral different parts, and in retiring again
assumes possession of itself and disap-
pears as it came. The performance will
be repeated every night with a change of
programme this week, and at a matinee
en- saturday afternoon.
Alter the performance came the draw
5ng. The lucky winners were Mr.. John
MADDEN, OF the Mitchell house, Thomas
willie, who drew a chamber set OF eight
pieces; Edward Simpson, colored. who
drew a barrel of -four, and George Wright
who drew a tea set.

Betting on yesterdays game was very
lively. The Georgia teams sold well as
combination against the outside clubs.
Charleston's defeat of Atlanta was not
looked for by the great majority, and only
about three in hundred picked out the
four winning mines. Combinations on
Savannah, Charleston. Augusta and Ma
con paid $14 80 apiece. If Chattanooga
had beat Savannah the pools sold in Chat
tanOOga, Charleston, Augusta and Macon
would have paid over 800 apiece.
The favorite combination last night for
to-day's game was Savannah, Charleston.
Augusta, and Nashville. The betting on
Augusta and Atlanta was 10 to in favor
OF Augusta. The betting on the Macon
game was 10 to in favor of Nashville.
All OF the other combinations sold low.
Charleston had more takers than Chatta-
nOORa.

Acting Nurse for a Yankee SURGEON.

From the Apaericlts (50.l Republican.
When Gen. Lee broke his lines at Ha-
gerstOwn to retreat into. Virginia. after
his repulse at Gettysburg, the roads we're
in most dreadful condition from the
heavy rains, and it was hard work for in
fantry men to keep in ranks. Gen. Les
sat on his horse by the roadside, and en-
couraged his men.
CAN you barefOoted men, push on to the
'front.'" said he, "but you men who have
shoes, wait for your command"
Acting on this advice Of the General. we
took seat in secluded spot and slept
until the army had passed by, and a squad
Of Yankee cavalry awakened us and sent
us to the rear. A few minutes later they
attacked Pettigrew's command, and were
repulsed. While they were attending
their wounded, we were ordered to assist
the surgeon in his humane work. He had
whisky and morphine in abundance, but
used the whisky for himself pretty often.
We had been obliged to pass him the bot
tie pretty often, and he was getting tipsy.
At one time he wanted the morphine to
ease the pain of man wounded in the
head, and with an oath ordered the NOR
phine. We gave it to him, and then IN re-
turning dropped about half an ounce in
the bottle Of whisky. A few minutes la
ter that Yankee surgeon was nearing the
brink of the StyX, while the humble Con-
federate, with a Yankee blouse around
his form, was Logging it for Failing Wa
ter. which was crossed just before the pom
tOons were taken up. That, we consider
ed, was the best use that a drink of rye
and morphine was ever put to.

cred entirely with Easter Cards, is well
worth an hours inspection.

In speaking of him, the Atlanta Journal
says: The lecture delivered at the Opera
house last evening by DR.. Wilbur, called
out one of the largest audiences ever seen
there, the seating capacity not being
equal to the demand, many ladies and
gentlemen having to stand during the en-
tire lecture. The Doctor had the misfor-
tune to have bis fine diagrams and paint
ings, used in illustrating his lectures, fall
from the screen upon which they were
suspended, a few moments before the lee
ture began, and She accident compelled
him to change his lecture. His manner
OF speaking, interesting the vast audience
as it did, showed that he was thoroughly
familiar with aud master of his subject.
This afternoon he Is lecturing to a large
audience Of ladies, and this evening will
lecture TO men only.-Adp.
