of the spinster, Lizzie Grout, her charac-

Charles II. Hoyt, stated has never Deiofe
been approached or equalled in any par

first time in a buf.tsque written by
Charles E. Ford. OF Baltimore, entitled
Bluff King Hal"
This satire on The Field of the Cloth of

company numbers some ninety young men,
who are all perfect i'll the different char
acters assumed by them
The piece is handsomely mounted and cos
tuned, and abounds with pretty music.
Regular prices will prevail.
THE Rivals will be seen at the Lafay-
cite Square opera House on Saturday even
ing, May O.

Che dean of the American stage; william
H. Crane, Nat c. Goodwin. Francis Wilson,
Robert Taber, Joseph Holland. E. NJ Hol-
land. Mrs. John Drew. Julia Marlowe Ia

of this extraordinary cast are stars, who
are well and favorably known in every city
throughout the country.
1t is seldom in the history of the sta ge
that such an or ga nizatiOn is gotten together,
and II is probably the only opportunity the
people or this city will ever have OF seeing
anything like so remarkable a gathering on
one stage. Special aud artistic scenery has
been designed for the presentation OF the
play, and its performance should indeed be
q memorable one.

H, 1t the Oxford last evening. Il saw,
for the first time in my life, the test of
a gold machine used for separating the
gold dust from the base particles about
it. One OF. the most interesting features
of the recent mineral discoveries in Col
orado has been the frequency OF the asso-
citation of gold and silver with tellu-
rum. This is one of the rare metals. and
1t is the habit of the miners to speak OF
its find as a mineral rich in gold.
"Tellurium has a tin-white color. and
occurs both massive and in the form of
prismatic crystals. 1t is generally found
in nature as an element and in combination
with either gold or silver. This combination
is n steel-gray or black mineral, and the
miner always feels that he has struck
n rich find when he discovers the mineral.
Capitalists and prospectors are devoting
much attention to the precious metal mines
of the West this spring, and the people
there are sanguine of a prosperous year"
