EVENING STAR. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Tar Boos Cutuprex —These pleasing little @rtistes are again in our city, and we can not resist calling to them the of all true lovers of the drama. They are the most chaste and beautiful delinestors of characterd we — — seen. care of SS i eee J n and Miss — will have to share their laurels with t We see the younger of the sisters—a crea- ture of only ‘* summers—merry fal, full of eee glee and fun. = transformed, as it were. into that and incarnate fiend, Lady Poison into the ear of the weak, vacillati-g busband, (who Personated by the older titer) prot pod ag and scorn are so well delineated that one forgets the actress and thinks her in reality the way queen. In the School for Seanda! these children are inimitabie as Sir Peter and Lady Teas!e And in Romeo and Juliet, where all is love and sentiment, the elder sister, with ber gon- tle beauty, is so fair a Juliet, that we wonder how a mere child in years could have attained so true a — of that sweet, womanly character, so oer 4 portrayed by the “immortal bard.” Truly lip and cheek mantlin the earnest brow of theught.’’ ir graceful attitudes, fect elocution, and sim; y of acting, no ubt amply repay their mother for the inde- fi le attention she has bestowed on them ‘@ hope our citizens will liberally patron- ize them, spd that Carusi’s Saloon will be well filled on this and to-morrow evenings. —— Tas Batt Last Nigar given at Forrest Hall, Georgetown, by the George Waehi-gton Club, gave great delight to the large company present. re were one hundred and fi‘ty ladies in the room at 9 p.m when the festivi- ties of the evening be pr among them be- ing quite a number of the representatives of gaiety of Washington. The the beauty and Georgetown ladies, always celebrated for their grace‘ul and modest bearing, as well as their elegant appearance on such occasions, never — more ean J - r A Columbus was thecaterer and Scott’s cotillon band discoursed © music; quidrilies, ee pee and waltzes were danced yy as gay appy & com a8 could b until near the break of a! hs During the evening we noticed on the floor members of the Empire Club, Nightingale Quadrilie Club, Washington Pioneer Club Goodwill Club, Liberty Club, Independent Club, Star Club, ands large number of the Eagle Club, of Georgetown. Curiosities or rae Fair —Amo: Tiosities at the fair are the following: Two bricks haga | Serpe of black loam, mixed with straw, and baked in the sun; one is med ern, picked up on the banks of the Nile, a’ a brick-yard; the other is very aneient, dug out of the earth by the contributor, from the Brick Pyramid, which Horodotus, the oldest a pees Mentions and says was built sychis, who reigned one huadred years before Abraham’s visit to Egypt. The irae im this is as perfect as if made yesterday. Goat skin water bottle, ured in the desert by the contributor. The water in the skin is cooled by evaporation from the Outside, and is sweet and ooel in the warmest day. Christ alludes to the wine brovght in old bottles. Desert seddie-bags, made of camel’s hair cloth, which Jobn the Baptist wore, and which is the sack cloth of Se: - Pieces from the stump and branch of an olive tree in Gethsemane. The wood of the stumps is led, without bark, hard asa flint, and is undreds of years old. Pliny speaks of this. Theee stumps may h: been there in Christ’s y- The tops ha A speci- of stereotype printing as Practiced amo: the old Egyptians. These interesting sutiohes were deposited by Rev. George W. Samson. [commonicatep.! Burciars Apour —A family on M street, a few nights since, bad their peace and tran- — disturbed by the piercing screams of the inmates of the culinary department. The facts sre these: About 100’clock, the servants were slarmed by the appearance of an indi- vidual in the house, who was an entire strang- er, and bapefligpe by -aiplonpoyarm Bis ob- ject, it is to be sup was togain the upyer stories, where he ore conceal himself til all bad retired, s0 as to accomplish his purpose of theft and robbery, undisturbed and unmolest- ed, and with less probability of his discovery. But the individual, after his discovery, beat a hasty retreat, with the screams of the servants sounding in his ears like the whissing a pia‘ol ball. 1 think this is a safficient caution to all living on the wu streets to fasten their doors soon after dark, as we frequently hear of robberies committed under similar pt sos stances. Wasreex Hosz Company, No 1.—This new association of young men, organized in the First Ward for the service of the ciizens, and to ssvist each other in seeking useful informa- tion, appears to be prospering greatly, increas. ing in numbers, and are using every means to deserve the good wishes and assistance of the citisens. Ata late meeting of the company. held in their library room, the following gen tlemen were elected officers for the ensuing the cu o term: W. Bias pewsident E.H Hanley, vice president; J. F. Edwards, secretary ; J. B. Smith, assistant secr F. T. Wilson, treasurer; L. C. Robinse: T. Holtzman, andC W. Drury, auditors; J. H. Hasel, J. R. Spalding, and J F. Hughes, directors.

This may save some from the tation to use the alms they receive for that which ouly renders the fate of their families worse. No doubt, ourcharitable bakers will make a deduction in the price of tickets if told they are to be given to the poor. ~ M.

Throughout the Fair this inventive genius of American art and skill may be soen, and @ short deli- neation thereof cannot fail to interest the reader. Saddles and Harness. — Hitherto it bas been thought that in this branch of business we were unable to compete with English manufacturers; but an examina‘ion of the work of Luts & Beall will dispel this errone. ous impression. They exhibit a race saddle, which, for beauty of workmanship, cannot be excelled. It weighs but one pound) len ounces They also display a set of harness, which af- fords further evidente of the excellence and superior manufacture of this house. In addi- tion, there are two gentlemen’s sadd'es which will bear the closest scrutiny, and may be pro- Bounced to be ~— ultra. Some magnifi- cent leather trunks are also ited by them, ar bear of which are iprecgiseerhey by these enterprising young men at their establishment adjoining the National Hotel. rs ARRIVALS AT PRINCIPAL HOTELS.
