OPERA HOUSE.
Nobles and Company.
, The large audience that greeted Milton
Nobles at the Opera House last night attest
ed the popularity of this excellent actor,
since it had assembled to witness the per
formance of a new and comparatively un
known play. The piece was entitled "In
terview," in which Mr. Nobles has a capi
tal part that he portrays to its full advan
tage. Unfortunately without this charac
terization there is little else in the drams,
and hence it cannot be written up as a suc
cessful production. Without Nobles it
has little besides to commend it to
popular favor, and one part plays
sre becoming tiresome "Quill Driver
ten," the hero, was always interest
ing and entertaining in his numerous ad
ventures, and was continually applauded,
though whether fhe praise legitimately re
dounded to the character or to the actor
who interpreted it was always aa intricate
question. The company supporting did
all they could to complete the suscess of
the play, and from this we can promise a
first rate performance to-night. Mr. No
bles won his fame and fortune in "The
Phoenix," and we can only regret that his
efforts to obtain a fit companion, piece to
this popular meledrama ace so unavailing.
As "Jim Bludsoe" he presents a unique
and ndvel stage picture in a well con
structed, intensely interesting and original
play, and well deserves the success he hss
obtained through its numerous presenta
tion. All appearances point to there being
s large audience to witnem the perform
ance this evening, and assuredly never to
have seen "The Phoenix" is to have missed
a treat indeed. If you have seen it once
you will go again ; if you have never wit
nessed its production take advantage of
this opportunity and you will not regret
your action.
Annual Sei
ion Before
the BaptiSt
Society.
Rev. Dr. Taylor, Pastor of the First
Baptist Church, preached the annual ser
mon before the Womaa'sv Missionary So
ciety of that church on Sunday morning
last, taking for his text the 9th verse of the
86th chapter of Acts "This woman was
full of good works and alms deeds which
she did." The discourse was a deeply in
teresting one, giving a full and graphic ex
position of the duties pertaining te a thor
ough and consistent Christian womanhood,
and reciting in touching terms the many
acts of Christian benevolence and benefi
cence performed by women in all ages pf
the world ; adverting somewhat particular
ly to their labors in heathen lands, in up
holding the armor of the cross, to the
many religious works emanating from their
pens, and the beautiful and touching songs
and hymns composed by them and which
form so important a part of public worship
in the churches.
Didn't Embezzle.
It seems that Dave Mallett, accused of
the embezzlement of a bunch of fish, the
property of Detective Mayer, alluded to
in the Stab a few days ago, is likely to
come out of the difficulty with his reputa
tion for honesty unscathed. It now turns
out, we understand, that he started to the
detective's residence with the fish, and
had nearly reached there, when, having
been indulging in bis favorite "shorts,"
his great and oft-prevailing passion for
sleep overcame him and he sat down and
dozed off. When he awoke he went off
and left the fish, and the fact that he had
promised to deliver them at the residence
of Detective Mayer seems to have faded
entirely from his mind. The fish were
afterwards picked up by a servant em-
Sleyed at the residence in front of which be
ropped asleep, and have been accounted
for. This much in justice to David Mal
lett, the "City Hall pet."
Bev. Dr. BEaro Aatatrese.
Despite the unfavorable weather and the
attractions elsewhere in our city, quite sn
audience assembled at the Tileston Upper
Room to hear Rev. Dr. Mayo's address on
"American Brains in American Hands."
In a pleasant and entertaining way the
speaker argued for universal education
and claimed that our greatness as a nation
was due to the brain working in the hand.
What our country needs is more of edu
cated brains to work in the hand. He
spoke in very complimentary terms of
what the South was doing in the matter of
education. We sre sorry that more of our
people did not hear this able advocate of
universal education.

BIVERND MARINE.
During the storm on Saturday night,
the German barque Atlantic, which had bet
recently come off the dry dock, and was
having her repairs completed lying in the
stream, near the wharf, was blown on her
beam ends, and as her ports were open and
a number of auger holes in her aides, she
speedily filled with water. She now lies in
fourteen feet of water, with her spars
resting on the wharf, which prevented her
from going entirely over. The cause of the
accident was the fact that, as she was
undergoing repairs, there was no ballast in
her bold. It is thought she will be raised
without much difficulty or expense.
It seems impossible that a remedy made
of such common, simple plants as Buchu,
Hops, Mandrake, DsanettOn.' etc. should
make so many and such great cures as Hop
Bitters do : but when old and young, rich
and poor, pastor and doctor, lawyer and
editor, all testify to having been cured by
them, yoii must believe snd try them your
self, and doubt no longer. f
