THE OPERA AND THE M1NsrRELs.

To the Editor of The Herald:
There appears to be a rumor which
has gone forth recently that the minstrel
show to be given at the Grand the first
four nights Of this week. has been gotten
up specially to run in opposition to the
opera. Such is not the case, and mas
much as various slUrs have been cast
upon the Young Ladies' Aid society and
upon the minstrel management by reason
of the conflict in dates 1 desire to say
that If anyone connected with the min
strels is responsible for the conflict, l am,
and ] am willing to assume it. The SIM
pie facts are, the minstrel show is
charity benefit, the opera is given for
private gain.
l applied to Mr.. Hammer. OF the Salt
Lake theatre for the dates We are going
to play at the Grand, while the dates
were still open on his books, and was
informed that Manager Burton was re-
serving some dates for the opera. When
saw Manager Burton 1 learned for the
first time that the opera and minstrels
had selected the same dates. Finding it
impracticable to change our dates, l en-
gagged the Grand. We run in opposition
10 the opera no more than they do to the
minstrel show.
1 had wished to keep out of print in
this affair but when slurs are cast not
Only on the MINISTRIES but at the Young
Ladies' Aid society, l enter a most en-
phatic protest, and ask the public to
consider the plain facts and hear both
sides before passing Judgment.

TRUE ECONOMY.

Many farmers have been compelled by
visitation of drouth the past year to
study economy who never knew the first
principles before. Economy consists in
ahstaining from buying anything that
can be produced upon the farm, or that
which is not really needed. 1t may be
wise economy for the farmer to do some
thing he actually knows how to do, and
with the proceeds of such labor buy what
is needed on the farm the production of
which he knows nothing. But few farm
ers grow the sorghum plant sweets
for table use, and yet if they no not grow
the plant they DO not have the sweets on
the table because they neglect TO buy
them. Many families will not use sor-
ghum, simply because it is sorghum. It
is much preferred TO honey in my family,
and we have both. Whether it is better
to gov the plant, or TO grow some other
product and buy syrup Will be a ques-
ton each one will have to solve for him
self Whether it is better to get the har-
ness repaired by the harness maker, and
iron work repaired by the blacksmith or
10 do it on the farm is another question
admitting of various decisions. If one is
situated some miles from the shop, ii
NAV be WE'LL, for the sake of economy,
to do a little mending rather than make
a trip whenever a break occurs.-LiVe
