Editor Intelligencer.
AS general thing we are very meek
and accomplishing: in fact, we think we
could give Job, who bears the reputation
OF being the most humble man of his day
and generation. pointers on patience. Not
that we wish to detract in the least from
Jobs splendid record in this respect, for
we admire the sublime courage and
patience with which he endured bis own
peculiar Affections. He stood the test like
hero, and we believe he still holds the
worlds record In his GLASS. But we are
iaclined to think that even Job, with all
his wonderful spirit OF meekness, would
have rebelled and kicked over the traces
without any urging from his wife), II it
had fallen to his lot to attend an opera
house In his native village aud had been
compelled to sit behind one of those hats
worn by the ladies of the present day. To
say that they (the hats) are most fearfully
and wonderfully made. Is to put 1t mildly.
We attended an entertainment at the
opera house recently, aud had the misfor-
tune to be seated behind great mass of
plumes, feathers, flowers, etc. No doubt
the effect was very beautiful and artistic
from a milliner's standpoint, but not
being a con noisseur in such matters, we
failed to appreciate 1t at Its true worth.
By a system of "rubber. necking" that
would have done credit to an expert con-
tortionist, we managed to get an occa-
sionai and fieeting glimpse of the stage.
We could hear the music from the
orchestra, and the singing and conversa-
ton OF the people on the stage; we also
noticed those about as laughing and
applauding every good "hit" made, and of
course We gave a willing hand, and ap-
peared to be the most delighted person In
the house. as we didn't wish to be thought
too stupid to comprehend the jokes and
funny situations.
A friend Of ours, who was there and had |
an unobstructed view of the performances,
Informs US that the scenery and costumes |
were very due, and that we do not know |
what we missed by not seeing the pretty |
dancers, the "French DOLL" aud other |
interesting features of the show; ana |
knowing our friend to be an honest man,
We took his word for It,
The wearer OF this massive headgear |
appeared to enjoy the show immensely, |
and the waving plumes and feathers
seemed to mock as as we sat there, trying |
In vain to get view OF what was going |
on In front Of that gorgeous millinery
exhibit.
We are pleased to state. however. that a
large maturity OF the ladies who attend
the opera house remove their hats before
the performance begins, and they may
rest assured that the act 10 duly appre.
cisted by those who may chance to be
seated behind them. A PATRON.
