least 1875 young people participating in

The boxes and loges for the opening

the general sale opens on Thursday

rush for seats. The whole affair is un-
der the direction OF Professor Kramer,
whose ability in the organization and

be good one. The fancy dances to be

Some twenty five yesra ago, the good

his parents in the evening, burst into
uncomfortable peala of laughter, and,
on being asked the cause of his mirth,
said, Dem two men dancin' down
dere." As he said this he pointed
downwards into the cellar of a "Bou-
LANCER Franeais," where two men were
jumping up and down with all their
might. A closer inspection of the situa-
ton revealed the fact that these men
were barefooted and engaged in the
work OF knesding dough by jumping on
it with their entire avordupois. There

was there any law defining the

JAMES E. MURDOCH, the octogenarisn
actor, who died at Cincinnati, day or
two ago, was in California in 1854 and
played star engagement at the old
Metropolitan theater then under the
management of Mrs. Sinclair, the d.
vorced wife of Edwin Forrest. Murdoch
was courtly man, of a high order OF
literary education and very polished
actor in whatever he undertook. In
ferior to Forrest in roles that demanded
forcible acting, such as Coriolsnus and
Brutus, he WAS his superior in Hamlet
and Richelieu; and whatever may have
been the difference of opinion aH to who
was the greatest of American actors,
there could be none as to the greatest
OF American elocutionists. Murdock'f
