Advice to parents: Whenever you go
to church take your baby. If there is
any one thing a baby appreciates more
than another it is a sermon.1 A pew seems
to inspire it with more confidence in its

is sometimes a great ' relief to a Sermon;
lends it background, variety, fancy.

At the City Hall. '
The Mayor held no regular CourLthis
morning. There being only two arrests
last night, and those of such a trivial char
acter, they were disposed of without the
formality of a court. , One was Tom
Titt, the notorious little colored Dick
Turpin, of Wilmington, who, was arrested
for disorderly conduct. The Chief of Po
lice was told to keep him locked up for a
couple of days. The other was a white
man who got too much benz'ne aboard
and becoming rather noisy was arrested.
The last named case was dismissed upon
payment of cost ' ' y
White Children or Xegro Parents.
In the Southeastern portion of this
city there live two Albino children who
were born of negro parentage. Their par
ents. Squire and Eveline Fisher, hnve
lived in this city for a number of years
and have a family of jven children, the
Albinos beiDg the fourth and fifth bora
to them. 1 The othors are of the same col
or as iheir parents. Tqe eldest of the Al
binos is a girl about six years of age,
and the youDgesi a boy of about four.
They are well formed and differ only in
looks from their darker brothers and
sisters. Their skin ii white with a1 pink
ish tinge. The pupils of their eyes are a
light blue and have also a pinkish cast.
They keep their eyes almost closed and
carry their heads down, the chin resting
oa the breast. I The hair is perfectly
white and looks more like the wool on a
sheep's back than any thing we can com
pare it with. Their habits and amuse
ments are the same as other children
while their mental qualities seem to be of
the average of white childrea, j
THE PERFORMANCE AT THE
LP PER A HOUSE.
"Fatinifz ..'
Q lite a large audience ,r. eted Miss
Adah Richmond and htr Comic ,Opera
Troupe, on their first appearance this
season at the Opera House in this city
last night.
Tue piece selec-l fur the evening's
entertainment, entit ed .FiUinitza. was
entirely new to our theahr going people,
most of whom had never bea it rendered
before. The i acting on the average was
as good as in burhsque operas general'v ,
but the pie: j l w?s not one calculated to
inspire a looker on with any thrilling
sensations or to draw forth any emotional
or sentimental feeling." It wls simply a
burlesque farcical sort of piece without
pith or point, and one 1 ia which the
talent of many actors had no- opportu lity
for display. Miss Adah Twichmond i s the
young Russian Lieutenant and again as
Fatinitza, sustained her part successfn"y
and BaDg with much Ltot and; sweet
ness, her ch tr iiin v,i-e bring the chief
attraction of tie d! fie rent charactors she
persona e l.
Miss Belle Girard,
as the lYmcess
Lydia, sustaiaed her part well and sang
at t;mes with peculiar sweetness and
melody, her personal charms lending
an additional interest to the part she as
sumed. Mr. J. C. Armand, s the newspaper
correspondent following uj.on the move -mets
of the Russian and Turkish armies,
was first rate, while the silvery notes of
his sweet tenor voice brought out much
applause from the audience. Mr. Liv
ingston Kent, as the Russian General,
performed his part exce'lently well, and
his rich bass voi wes quite an addition
to the vocal music of the evening. Mr.
James Sturgess, s Mustapha, tbe Guard of
the Harem, drew forth much laughter and
applaus', both by his comic acting and his
no less comical costume and appearance.
The best piece is reserved for to-nightj
when "The Chimes of Normandy, " in
which Miss Richmond is said to exceH in
the role she assumes, will be performed.
Those who witnessed the last named piece
on a previous occasion are said to have
been highly delightid with it, and many
are gratified to know that they will havo
another opportunity of witnessing the

Improved Dental Chair- :
' Dr. Jas. E. Kea gives notice elsewhere
in this issue to day of his return to busi
ness again, and also notifies h:s patrons
thai he will seat them in the newest and
most comfortable chair in the city. 2 he
chair spoken of we have been and ex
atnined and squatted in wh'le the Doctor
dag away at one of our grinders. It is
the latest improved dentist's chair, of the
Wilkerson patent, and can be so arranged
that a child or a grown ; erson, a tall man
or a short one, cr n be comfortably seated
in it; The only uncomfortable part is
the 'dentist. bimscT, who dont always
make one feel erectly comfortable while
he occupies the chair, i&t U'a pertains
to all members of the pfefe&s'on and not
to any particular one.
