AN evolutionary entertainment was
given last Monday evening, at the
Central Opera House, by Prof w.
III. Wimpfheimer, for the benefit of
the Y. M. G. A. The audience, tho
small, was an az seciative one. The
Professor delivered the pieces which
be had selected for the evenings en-
tertainment, In manner commenda-
BILE to himself and highly satisfactory
to the audience. His first selection
was entitled "petrified Wood 1t
was story of an old fellow who had
been in the habit of lying all his life,
and who took much pride in the fact
that he could beat all competitors in
that line. His friends determined to
break him of this pernicious habit
by catching him up In such way as
to shame him. They made the at
tempt, but the cd man, as usual,
came off conqueror. The selection
was q humorous one, and took well
with the audience. The Professor
then gave a selection entitled "The
Black Horse and His Rider" This
was piece concerning some of our
revolutionary heroes, and was rem
dered in an excellent manner. The
third selection, Large in the night, !"
was followed by an extract from Ju-
Illus Caesar, in which Cassius urges
Brutus to join him in the conspiracy
against Caesar. This piece, together
with an extract from the tragedy of
Virginius, and selection entit' 4,
1.-THE Schoolmarm," were undoubted-
ly the best of the evening. The 9th
er pieces, such as s'ihe Test, "Soc-
rates Shocks" "The Fireman." and
in TACT all the selections which the
Professor gave, were good, and were
rendered in a pleasing and entertain
ing manner. The audience was de-
lighted with the entertainment, aod
went away feeling assured that they
had gotten the worth oftheir money.

A novel wedding was recently in

A novel wedding was recently in
augurated by fashionable bride in
New York. Sue carried an unusu-
ally large bouquet, and just before
leaving for the honeymoon she un-
tied her flowers, which proved to be
eight separate posies, fastened with
different colored ribbons. Eacn of
these was presented a bridesmaid,
and one of the bouquets concealed a
wedding ting, which would indicate
the next bride. This idea resembles
the custom of putting ring, thimble
and money in the Christmas pudding,
marking the finders lot, respective
~, as matrimony, spinsterhood or
wealth.
