ADJUSTMENTS.


The tuneful comic opera of "Floro-
dora, was presented at the Grand, in
this city. Tuesday evening, before a
large audience. which seemed to
enjoy the piece, as evidenced by the
applause bestowed.
While the cast is not quite so strong as
last season, its first presentation here on
Tuesday night, was enjoyable.
The costumes and scenery were all
good, and the piece well staged. Miss
Anna BOYD, as Lady Holyrooo" play
ed the part in fine style and captivated
the audience several times with her
singing and ''chic" ways. Mr.. Nj. j.
Smith, as Captain Arthur Donegal, pos
sesses = fine tenor voice, and was re-
peatedly encored, while the "Tweedle-
punch" of Budd Ro s, the comedian,
was a clever bit of comedy. The rest
OF the company were only fairly good.

Sweet Country Girl, a very shower
OF beauty is thy earthly dover!
For never saw | mien, or face,
In which more plainly | could trace
Benignity and home-bred sense
Ripening in perfect innocence.
Here, scattered like a random seed,
Remote from men, thou dost not need
The embarrassed look of shy distress,
And maidenly shamefacedn5ss'
Thou wear'st upon thy forehead clear
The freedom OF a mountaineer.
A face with gladness o%verspread.
Sweet looks. by human kindness bred,
And see1nliness complete, that sways
Thy courtesies, about thee plays;
With no restraint, but such as springs
From quick and eager visitings
OF thoughts, that lie beyond the reach
OF thy few words Of English speech
\ bondage sweetly brooked, a strife
That gives thy gestures grace and life.
SO have |, not unmoyed in mind,
Seen birds of tempest-ioving kind,
Thus beating up against the wind.

of Jean Davenport When she left her
native city 1t was to play with Charles

and Baltimore. Later she acted in Bal

tion was sprightiy novelty. She was
also associated with the elder South
fern when Our American Cousins"
with Lord Dundreary was as new as

In the subsequent years of her ca
reer Mrs. Anderson's services were

Mountain Of Alum in China.

In China. about twelve miles from
the village of Lion-Chek, there is a
mountain of alum. which. in addition
to being a natural curiosity. Is a source
OF wealth for the Inhabitants of the
country. who dig from it yearly tons
of alum. The mountain is not less
than ten miles in circumference at its
base and has a height of nearly 1000
feet The alum is obtained by quar-
rying large blocks of stone. which are
first heated in great furnaces and then
in watts filed with boiling water The
alum crystallizes and forms layer
about six inches in thickness. This
layer is subsequently broken up into
blocks weighing about ten pounds
