The oli.Fashione. Corn Husking.
In accordance with the announce
ment in our last issue, line oio
Fashioned Corn Husking was pro
duced by home talent at t. oper'
house on Tuesday night oil Uni
week. The play was produced III 'ue
no few disadvantages. as there Wa
scarcely a night during the rehearsals
that some one of the company or
some member OF their family were
not i'll. Considering such adverse
circumstances, the various parts
were remarkably well rendered on
Tuesday night.
We do not believe, however, that as
good taste was exercised in selecting
the play as Keytesville has a reputa-
ton for.
The following is the cast OF charac-
ter.
Uncle Nathan Peterkin......Dr. w. r. Hawkins
Thomas Jefferson Peterkin-.-.......AlexT Taylor

Kitty Mnlony.-- Miss Zetta Bean
Maggie willie fuqua
Lucie white
DR.. Hawkins was quite at home as
Uncle Nathan Peterkin, who presided
over the corn husking.
Miss Kate Dewey as Aunt Peggy
Peterkin filed the bill required OF a
kind, considerate housewife to per-
fection, and impaired force and i'm
preston to the character she repre-
sented.
Alex Taylor was decidedly at ease
as the "edicated" son of Uncle Nath-
an and Aunt Peggy Peterkin, play
ing the role of Thomas Jefferson
Peterkin.
j. X. ("Dob'D Moore acted the
part of Josiah, a bashful old bachelor.
asnaturally as though he really were
bashful.
Will Drace rendered the character
OF Algernon Fitznoodle, a Boston
dude, IN excellent style, and made
the dude one of the best characters
in the play.
John Ward as Scipio, the negro,
"out niggered" sny real nigger and
never failed to elicit hearty applause
from the audience.
Mrs. F. NJ. yeatch was one of the
leading characters as Betsy, the
prim, but loves'ck ola maid, whose
affections were set on the bashful old
bachelor. Josiah, and for whom she
made life a burden.
Horace Mann was one OF the most
shenee of shenees in the character of
Solomon Levi, the Jew peddler.
III. NJ. Sigloch as Little Lord Faun.
tleroy had a ridiculous make up and
his appearance on the stage brought
down the house in a roar of laughter.
Willie Winfree quite maintained his
as an orator in the
role of All Sin, the Chinaman.
VIM. Fordyce and Miss Zer tie Bean
did well in the Irish characters oi
Organ and Kitty Mallory.
Master Chas Veatch, as the mis-
chievous Bobby, could not have been
sxeelled, while T. f. X. Ewing, as
and Misses Lucie White and
Willie Fuqua, as Aollie and Maggie,
played their parts splendidly.

THE MILL STILL GRINDs.

1t used to make some people
shudder to hear proposition for
annual instead of biennial sessions
of the Legislature. Many reasons
could have been given, however, fer
the belief that the change would
have greatly reduced, if not removed !,
certain evils attendant on the sitting
Of the Legislature. But what do
the people generally think of per
ennial Legislature, tinkering with old
laws and making new ones, without
the slightest attention to public
opinion? A few months ago the
dominant sentiment of the Councils
was that they did not exist for any
object but annexation, and should
therefore do no lawmaking that was
not required for the immediate
necessities of public security or the
changed form of government. Is it
because the Councils consider they
cannot keep themselves together
without doing something more than
listening to information that the
newspapers could give them, that
they persist in the unnecessary ini
tiation of new laws and the turning
upside down and inside out of ole
ones? Or is it only an instance o
the mischief that a certain person
age is said to find for idle hand:

Those who have been telling u
how quickly opium smuggling woulC
be stopped here under annexation
may exercise their wits at leisure
on the following paragraph from tho
San Francisco Chronicles:
The customs officers have captured
another little lot of smuggled opium,
just enough to give some idea OF tho
immensity of the opium-smugglin:;
business on this coast. There are no
statistics of the consumption o.
opium in California, nor even in this
city, but it is perfectly we'll l-knowil
that the opium on which duty il
paid forms only small percentage
of the amount consumed. THAI
patient and gentle creature, tn"
"Chinese person. as the acts OF
Congress call him, is great con
sumer of the narcotic.
