Apropos of the announcement ol the
engagement of Miss Jennie Flood, the
bonanza king's daughter, to an English
nobleman, a Chicago paper recalls the
story ol her ioye for a young clerk in

says that, though she may marry some

man on learning of the attachment, and
hurried Miss Jennie off to Europe .

The
Latest Madison
Square
Success.
Theatre-goers will be pleased to learn
that the new play from the Madison
Square Theatre, "The Rajah," will be
presented at tbe Opera House on the
evening of December 13. -The Rajah"
is a singularly bright and attractive
comedy and i3 generally regarded as
the author's .(William loung, Esq..)
best piece of dramatic work. The play
has attained nearly two hundred con
secutive representations at the Madison
Saaare Theatre, which is adequate
m-oof of its exceptional merit, "lne
Raiah" abounds with scenic displays,
all of which haye been taken advantage
of in true Madison Square style. One
set. in particular, a glade scene , with a
brook of real water running across the
stage, js a marvel of tho stage carpen
ter's skill. The original cast will ap
rear here. The company carries com
plete scenery made in duplicate of that
made in New York. All in all, a thor
oughly finished performance of "The
Raiah1 can be anticipated. The sale
of reserved seats will begin at Dyer'a
on Tuesday morning .next.
Theodore Thomas.
One of the most difficult duties de
volving upon the reporter is that ol
criticising a performance justly where
all the parts are eqnally well sustained.
This is true, whether the entertainment
be vocal, instrumental or both com
bined. In those usual cases where
some are passable, some better and a
few good, it is comparatively easy to
criticise by showing the distinction be
tween this, that or the other part ; but
where all are excellent there remains
nothing but to speak of the performance
as a whole, and to this are we reduced
in writing of the concert last bight.
There was a large audience in atten
dance and mostly of that refined arid
cultured class ot music loving ladies
and gentlemen who could understand
and appreciate tbe beauties of tbe divine
art in the grand harmonics of the mas
ters as interpreted by skilled musicians.
The concert commenced promptly at
he appointed hour and by the time
hat a half dozen measures had been
played the audience, who had been in a
everish state of expectation and anxie-
y. were captured, and they were most
willing captives.
Every member ot the orchestra was
a master of his particular instrument
and, under the direction of the world-re
nowned Theodore Thomas, every tone
and movement was the perfection ot
skill and the most thorough training-
rFoA wara Knf fawnnnirmAn ft m fin fT
ihem and nearly all had reached, and
some bad passed beyond, middle life.
n time, tune, tone, technique, shading
and phrasing, all seemed a perfection of
skill, ot which the audience gave their
appreciation in rounds of raptuous ap
plause at the conclusion of each piece.
The selections were from Berlioz
Wagner. Beethoven, Weber, Lizst,
Rossini, Schumann, Mendelssohn,
Strauss and Rubenstem, and it would
be impossible to say which was the
best, as each possessed beauties which
the others did not. The music of
Wagner was different from all others
and was a revelation, if not a revolu
tion, in musical composition. The An
dante from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony
was a sublime composition and was
rendered with exquisite taste and
pathos. The prelude in the Overture to
Wm . Tell brought out the rich beauties
of the violoncellos and the marvellous
skill of the performers on those instru
ments.
But it is simply impossible to des
cribe ail the splendid features of the
occasion. Never beforewas such glorious
music heard in Wilmington, but we
hope the day is not far distant when it
raav be repeated. Our people have
done well in bringing them here and
he management of the Opera House
deserve especial praise for their untiring
efforts to cater to the be9t musicial taste
of the city. .
Improvements and
Changes
The large warehouse
on South
Water, between Market ana jjock
streets, recently occupied as auction
salesrooms by Messrs Cronly.& Morris,
has been undergoing extensive altera
tions and repairs and i3 now occupied
hv Messrs W. I. Gore cs Son as a
wholesale commission house for the
sale of heavy groceries and peanuts.
The lower floor has been entirely re
modeled and made cenvenient for
the particular branch of business for
which it is intended the grocery de
partmentand the office, which is not
yet completed , is in the front part of the
building. It will be a model of con
venience when finished. The second
floor is devoted to the peanut business
and the necessary machinery will be
run" by a water motor fed by the Clar
endon Water Works, the pipes for
that purpose having" been laid within
the last week.
Another Peal.
The wedding bells have rung again
and this time over the union of Mr.
Martin S. Willard, of this city, to Miss
Elizabeth Oliver, of Newbern. Ihe
ceremony took place in Christ Church,
on Wednesday night, the Rector, Rev.
V. W. Shields, officiating. Mr. Willard
and his bride arrived here last evening.
The Newbern Journal says of the hap
py even:
The church was elaborately and
handsomely dressed, and the bridal
escort elegant And extensive.. Tbe mar -riage
ceremony was solemnly and im
pressively performed in the presence
of an immense concourse of persons,
and was followed by an elegant recep
tion at the home of the bride's father.
Wm. H. Oliver, Esq. The bride and
groom leave this morning, for their
home in Wilmington accompanid by a

seems to bo no doubt that the money
will be secured.
