four acts by Scott Marble will be pre-
sented in Elders Opera House on
Wednesday night, 9Th instant. 1t will
be interspersed with songs, dances and

highest pitch. "Silver Spar" is a
well-constructed play, Astounding in
strong and dramatic situations, we'll
balanced scenes ana sparkling with
genuine comedy. The lines are bright
and clear. There are few plays that
are perfect, and for a soubrette play,
"Silver Spur" has few fanlts, as the
characterizations are well drawn, and
the parts well balanced. The play was
handsomely mounted and costumes
and properties costly and many.

IRIS an ungly reflection on the char
acter Of Gen. B. F. Butler, that in his
old age and years after his retirement
from Office, it should be developed that
there was shortage in mis- accounts as
head of the Soldiers Home; yet this
seems to be the case, for in Massachu-
sets, on Friday, a jury sretarned
verdict against him for Sl6,527. Butler
has been vicious in his political methods,
and as a consequence has arrayed
against himself as many personal and
political enemies as any other uan in
America, but he has professed a per-
sonsl honesty and strict integrity. 1t
IS but fair TO him TO say that in the
case of the Soldiers Home funds, while
the General was legally responsible for
them, and will doubtless have to make
good the shortage, nobody believes he
sole tie money. He claims that it is
a case OF error in bookkeeping.
