ADJUSTMENTS.


w. J. Scanlan will appear at the
Opera House this evening in his new
Irish drama, "Myles Aroon." This is
an Irish drama without red-coat, an
informer or landlord in ii, and the
novelty is appreciated by the audience.
Mr. Scanlan is a young gardener, ac-
cused OF theft in the first act, with
three others given TO him in which to
prove his innocence. There are vii
lalns OF high and low degree, brave
and pretty colleen an old witch and n
country fair, The comedian has writ
ten several new songs, which prove
tuneful and catchy. There is no doubt
but 1t will be greeted with large
audience.
ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
"rhe World Against Her was pre-
sented at tho Academy of Music last
evening before a large audience, who
showed their appreciation by frequent
applause. This is one of the strongest
melo-dramas Oh the stage, and the in
terest, which is artistlGally worked up
at the beginning, is continued until
the fall OF the curtain on the final act.
Agnes Wallace Villas pathetic talent
is taxed TO the utmost III the represen-
tation OF Madge Carlton, q wrongly
suspected and cruelty divorced wife,
but she is equal TO the occasion, and
moreover endows the character with a
noble forbearance and loving sim
pllcity that completely captures the
hearts of the audience. The leading
actor plays the husband, James Carl
ton, with q quietnesS and dignity
that Is full OF suppressed suffering,
and is infinitely touching. IL is an
admirable picture of an honest, trust
ing nature that has been forced to
believe what it would most dearly dis
believe.
1t will be presented again this even
Ing. at the matinee tomorrow after
noon, and the closing performance
will be given tomorrow night.

Confederate forces, by their valor and
honorable warfare, commanded and re-
ceived the respect of nearly the whole
Union forces. Davis had not one re-
deeming trait to call out the respect of
his opponents. If at this date, nearly
twenty-seven years after the assassina-
ton of the most wonderful man that
the new world has produced, satisfac-
tory evidence should fix the black and
damning stain upon jeff Davis as a
participant in that hellish conspiracy,
the believers in eternal justice would
be increased in NUMBER
