BEAUTY IN TIGHTS.

THE Corssir's" Brilliant success-A
splendid Performances.
The theater was crowded last night to
witness Rice's famous extravaganza, 1.-THE
Corsair." The elegant scenery and the
superb costumes gained the approval and
appreciation of the entire audience. Moth
ing superior has ever been presented Ia this
city. The company is composed Of artists
who are competent to do full justice to the
parts assigned them. The leading charac-
tiers were specially we'll taken. The comedy
parts were very amusing in the hands
of Charles j. Hogan and Charles E.
Udell. Bessie Tannehill, as 1.-THE Corsair, -
was attractive and pleasing at every APP
pearance Ida Wells made q charming
"Medora." The Pasha's Guard, under the
splendid leadership of Julia Senac, was
the most attractive feature Of the perform
ance. These beautifully formed and ex-
quisitely coJtumed ''Amazons" went through
the difficult and beautiful maneuvers, and
they were heartily enjoyed and applauded.
The music and dancing were excellent,
and the entire production was one of I'M
usual splendor and proficiency. The Scr
sair" will be given at matinee this after
noon and Tonight, which will be the clos
ing attractions at the theater for this season.

They Tackle Tinted Paper and Pro-
duce Queer-LooKing Nest.
From the Cine nnati Enquirer.
At Amer Mills, near Clonmel, the gar
dener lately found strengthening object
suspended from a slender branch of an
apple tree. 1t was nearly spherical, about
as large as an ordinary-sized cannon ball
and was streaked all over with the brightest
colors. He soon discovered that it was a
wasp's nest, but for some time was puzzled
to account for its varied tints and singular
formation. At length the problem was
solved. His employer bad some time before
procured quantity of long paper shavings
OF different culors-red, blue, green, yellow
and white-which he hung over his straw
berry beds. to protect the fruit from the
attack of birds and insects
A colony OF wasps, instead of being
warned off, made frequent visits to these
colored streamers, and, with singular inge.
nuity, reducing the paper to pulp, soon car
ried it away for the construction of their
nest. which quickly grew under the united
efforts OF quite an army Of these busy little
artists. The most wonderful part Of their
work is the regularity of the uudulating
lines Of color as they were carried round
from side to SIDE

At meeting Of the board of the Savan-
nah Female Orphan ASYLUM, held April 2,
1891, the following paper was read and
unanimously and cordially adopted:
On March 12, last, Almighty God, in bis
mysterious providence, took unexpectedly
from Us our beloved treasurer, the late
JOHN L HARDEE; aud, while we bow to
his will, we feel that our lost is almost irrep-
arabic.
He was not only prompt, reliable, judi
cious iu the duties devolving upon him, but
In everything temporal, moral, spiritual,l
pertaining to the institution, he was as
faithful as though he felt it to be a sacred,
holy trust committed unto him.
Nothing was too insignificant to merit mis-
strictest scrutiny, consideration and atten-
ton.
To the ladies of the board he was always
the ready, willing helper and adviser.
To the orphans he was the devoted friend,
counsellor and companion, looking after
their welfare in every particular, and join
Ing in their pleasures with rare delight.
To his widow and children we extend our
tenderest, truest sympathy, and send to
them copy Of this notice, with our heart
felt gratitude for all he was to us; and with
the fervent prayer that the bread, he SO
freely and lovingly least upon the waters, u
may be found of them, not latter many
days." but now and forevermore in abund-
ance Of blessing, consolation and peace.

The Road Being Pushed as Rapidly as
1t Can Be.
The contractors for the grading of the
South Bound railroad are working in the
section Of the road next to Columbia, and
work is going on from the Savannah river
swamp to that point as rapidly as men can
do II. The work on this side of the river
and In the river swamp still drags, though
twenty-seven miles Of the road are about
finished, and large force is now at work
on the remaining portion.
The high water has caused and is still
causing delays In the building of the bridge.
but the contractors say that with six weeks
good weather they can have the bridge
ready for trains to go over it.
By the time the bridge and the work
through the Savannah river swamps are fin
ished, the railroad will be ready for bust
ness as far as Graham's. on the South Caro-
lima railroad. and probably beyond that
point Unless something unforeseen occurs
trains VIII be running from Savannah to
Columbia before the close of the summer.
