The Little Diamonds.

A large concoursc of people was present
at the entertainment of the Little Dia-
n.onds" at Falk's opera house Thursday,
and they Witnessed and enjoyed a very in
tcrcs;ing programme, admirably rendered.
The children, in their several parts,
sh WED an aptt,t and thorough drilling, in
dub ably dcmonst a,ing the painstaking ana
int gent instruction they had received.
Thc scenic effects were very pleasing to
TIC view, especially pleasing WIS the harmo-
NOUS blending of the profu,ion of flowers
Details, and adjuncts necessary 10 success
full rendition of the cast, was most admira-
bly, employed and utilized.
While some of the children did little
better than others, still it would be invidious
to particularize where all did their best and
many so well, consequently we say to them
all You have done splendidly, and the ap-
probation manifested by the liberal applause
was merteCl, and The Gazette compliments
you. And deserving of the highest praise
are the ladies who SO graciously gave their
appreciated assistance, to make the entertain
ment all the more enjoyable.
At the conclusion of the dramatic enter
tainment the hall was cleared, and the young
folks indurged in the fascinating mazes of
the dance to the sweet strains of the Lafay-
cite string band, ond which lasted until adj
monished by the too hasty flight of time that
pleasure must cease and repose sought.
The whole furnished very agreeable re-
creation, and the compliments paid to the
management were many, and The Gazette
takes pleasure in adding, were fully de-
served. The following is the

The Gazette wishes to make this observation :
When lady is kind enough to give her as
sistance to worthy cause, she deserves the
highest commendation and warmest thanks,
and every sense of honor, manhood, and
chivalry exacts that she should not be dis
turbed by the exhibition of gallery god
methods, as was the case in one instance.
1t is not necessraay to say more, the act
speaks for itself.
