ADJUSTMENTS.

fthe United States Government has
still any Indian question to settle, 1t
should send a representative to the
Clunie Opera-house and witness a practi-
cal illustration of successful treatment of
bellioerent red skins. The border
drama. "Buffalo Bill" is just notch
above and ahead of anything in the way
of extravaganza and the unreal that has
vet been put upon the stage. 1t is so ao-
solutely and grotesquely ridiculous that
it draws for the very fun OF the tnlng.
People like sometimes to see now uttefIy
absurd the playwright can make ms pro-
ductions. They will never have better
example than is now given at the opera
house. Mr.. Berck, the new Leading man,
is too polished for the character OF Buffalo
Bill. While the Hon. William T. Cody
(the original Bib is neither rough nor
unIettered, he never was and never Will
be the eloquent, refined and Sentlmental
chap Mr.. Berck presents. however IL
simply proves that Berck is cast below
his usual dramatic walk, and that he Is
too good an actor for the part Three
fingered' Jack does some remarkable
shooting with the aid of mirror sight,
and he is, by all odds, in the Indian
fighting scenes, the liveliest and most
earnest person on the stage-ln short, the
amateur fills a large measure OF the actlV-
1LJ Oh the play MI DdCOH etlIQ MI al -
both excellent low comedians, have the
whole of the comedy work to do, and
they carry out to the letter the grOtesque,
absurd and farcical business given them
TO do. But the play takes, and while the
people below laugh at the extravaganza
of the whole business, the gallery roars
with delight and cheers for encores and
the curtain till it fairly splits its throat.
The drama will be repeated tonight.
The box-office of the Metropolitan
Theater opens for the "Urania'' night,
Saturday, tomorrow morning. As the
spectacle is given wholly in the dark, so
far as the auditorium is concerned. Man
ager Todd says that whoever attends the
performance must be seated by s o'clock
sharp, when the lights will be put out
and the curtain go up. After that it viii
not be practicable to have the ushers seat
people The impression having gone
abroad that "Urania, or Chaos to Man,"
is a magic lantern show, its proprietOrs
disabuse the public mind on that point
by saying that with the single exception
of showing few Lick Observatory views
the lantern is not used, but all the appar-
emily magical effects are produced by
cunning scenic devices, the management
of lights, and the strangest mechanical
arrangements ever devised for q spectac-
ular show.
At Pythian Castle this evening Har-
mony Lodge, Knights and Ladies of

RfShOn Brooks.

At the time the world was saddened by
the loss of Bishop Brooks one of his adj
mirers and friends heard two working
men talking on the street. and catching
the beloved name, listened to their con-
versation. They told several anecdotes
of his goodness to those who had been in
danger, necessity and tribulation, and
who might have been lost but for his sue
cor and comfort.
At last one of the men said: "And
where do you suppose he has gomez"
"Why do you ask? To heaven, of
course"
well, / don't think so.''
"You don't think so? What do you
mean? A man as good as Bishop Brooks,
who did so much for the world, and who
helped so many people would be sure of
a place in heaven. SO tell me what you
mean, and where you think he has
gone"
"l think he has gone to the other
place."
How can you talk like that" said his
companion, angrily. THAT is wicked"
mot at all. When the bishop was here
he went among the wicked and sinful, to
try to make them better. He was more
at home with them than in the homes of
the good. So, of course, in the other
world, he is carrying on the good work.
That's why l say he has gone to the bad
place; it is to help the bad people,"

dead body, fully dressed, floating in
pool twelve or fourteen feet in depth.
Why the body floated so soon after the
drowning is mystery. 1t was recovered
and word sent to Coroner Clark, who left
for the scene last evening, and will hold
an inquest to-day.
Deceased was the mother of Mrs. J. J.
Mitchell of Elk Grove, and also leaves
two or three grown sons. Her husband
died several years ago. The relations be-
tween Mrs. Roden and some of the mem
bers of the family are said to have been
inharmonious, and the supposition is
that something of this character caused
her to take her life.

During the recess at the Sacramento
Grammar School yesterday morning
an accident happened which is likely to
cost little Harry Batelle his eye. A num-
Der of boys were playing shiny"
which, as young people at least know, is
played by knocking a block Of wood
around with a stick which is curved at
the lower end.
One of the boys struck with such force
at the block that his shiny stick' flew
out of his hand and struck young Batelle
in the eye.
He was Immediately taken care of, and
as the principal, Miss Watson, found the
eye was badly injured, he was removed
to his home on Fifteenth street, near II,
whence he was afterwards taken to the
office of DR.. Briggs, the oculist, who eX
amined it carefully and thought at first
that he would have TO lose it. but later in
the day had some hopes of being able to
save it. The little sufferer bore his pain
manfully, scarcely evincing the agony he
underwent by lamentations or groans.

Years of Work on one Carpet.

Turkish and Persian rugs which are
sold at fancy prices by the carpet men
are all made by hand, not even loom
being employed. The work requires
great skill and infinite patience. so that
the prices for genuine goods are by no
means too large. Some of them require
the labor of one man for six months or a
year before they are completed and put
on the market, while the highest priced
rugs have often been toiled at, day after
day, for three or four years before they
are fnished.-Globe Democrat.
