Metropolitan Theater.

Chas. c. Maubury, supported by Miss
Nellie Boyd and others, presented Clark g.
Tyrrell's melodrama His Natural Life"
last evening to good house, that to be
just, applauded loudly and often and in
sisted on tableau repetitions and that of
an indifferent character. Miss Boyd had
little to do in the piece. The honors on
the female side and the work fell upon
Miss Annie Miff1in, versatile young
woman of no mean natural ability, but in
need of training upon the art of expression.
Mr.. Maubury fitted well into the leading
role and there was some clever character
acting by JAS. Mercy, Inijo Tyrrell, one
OF the authors of the piece, and
by Charles Chappelle, competent
stock actor, for quite large class
OF melodramatic work. But there was no
high excellence manifest by any of the
troupe. The leaders are fair stock actors
for melodrama of the extravagant order
The scenery is good, the mechanical effects
excellent, the tableaux numerous, and
taking and sensation ran riot through the
play. Probably never before was there so
much of penal colonies, penitentiaries,
prisons and prison ships; of love, despair,
murder, mutiny, forgery, thievery, de-
celt, lying, starvation. marrying, confession
OF shame, battery, fogging, handcuffing,
erring, misery, and general cussed-
ness jammed into any play as
with this of Mr.. Tyrrell If any,
body ever written of in dime novel or
penal records, or an English sensational
story, was left out of the play, MIR. Tyrrell
forgot them and Mr.. Clark, his collaboration,
failed to jog his memory. Never was there
play written with so much of useless
dialogue in it and may there never be an
other. 1t is entitled "a Wonderful Drama
OF Humanity" and we accept the definition
as accurate, for about all of humanity and
human kind, from clergymen TO murder
ers, noblemen to convicts, betrayed women
to angel wives, and infancy to senility, are
crowded into the play. A matinee to-day
and final performance tonight.

George W. Cables Readings Tonight.

George W. Cables Readings To-Big Int.
The literary treat offered to the people Of
Sacramento by the readings of George W.
Cable, the celebrated author, at the Con-
gregational Church this evening, is no ordi-
nary event. The New York Tribune, speak
ing of his appearance in that city, says :
" George w. Cable, the New Orleans novel
ist, has carried the Puritan literary capital
by storm with his delightful readings from
his own works. Further experience con-
firms the first verdict that Dickens was no.
where compared with Cable as delineator
of his creations. His concluding enter
tainment, interspersing Creole and African
songs with his readings, was such success
that repetition had to be announced for
next week, and not ticket was to be had
for love or money by noon of the day of
tie opening of the sale of seats''
The fact has already been stated that all
receipts from his readings this evening,
beyond expenses, will belong to the COM
mittee having charge of arrangements now
being made, to give popular course of
lectures and readings in this city the pre-
sent season. which course is to be solely for
the public benefit and at cost only. The
reading this evening will commence at
7:30. Tickets, 80 cents. Reserved seats
can be procured at Houghton's book store,
615 street, without extra charge.

In modern times no army ever made

rshreveport Democrat. !


A prominent cilIxen OF Green wood
furnishes the Democrat the details of
a remarkable instance Of affinity be.
tween animals. Several months ego o
faithful old house cat gave birth to SIX
kittens, three OF which died shortly af-
ter they saw the light OF this wicked
world. The next morning q little son
OF the gentleman Ia question, found o
nest Of three young rabbits, and In
freak ofchildish fancy took them home
and placed them ia the bed with the
kittens. The old cat made no ob}ec.
ton to this arrangement, but on the
contrary took the little strangers to her
motberIy bosom, and In short time
rabbits and kittens were drawing from
the same fountain the iife.giving fluid.
This strange family have grown up
together, united and happy. But the
stranRest part Of this story remains to
be told. The rabbits, accom- IN modating
themsefvis TO their surroundings, cham
ged from herbiverous to carniverous
animals, and rapidly developed taste
for rats, mice, birds, ETC., and became
as skiilful In the pursuit and capture Of
their prey as the other portion OF the
family. In fact, our informant states
that they are ~ good fnousers as he ever
saw. The facts detailed above can be
vouched for by large number Of the
