Smith Double Company. Boyd's Opera House Packed to Overflowing. ‘‘Standing room only,” was the sign hung out at the box oftice before the hour of opening the entertain- ment last evening, in Boyd's opera house, which before that hour was packed with the largest audience that ever assembled to witness any play in this city. Not a seat was to be had for love or money and many came to the usual hour of opening and returned heme because they not obtain seats, The confidence of the public was not misplaced, for the Double Uncle Tom’s Cabin company was equal to the occasion and produced the famous drama as it never before was put on the boards in Omaha. The play as produced by O. H. Smith’s company is changed in many respects from the old version, the most nateworthy in- novation by the introduction into the- play of two Topsys, two Marks and two donkeys, and the character of “‘Gumption Cute,” in the fourth act. The three Sherwood sisters, Blanche, Florence and Romane, are a trio that would be hard to beat. Blanche is the youngest Topsy and lictle Romane the youngest Eva~ that ever appeared in the play, and cer- tainly have no superiors in their re- spective roles. The former is a grace- ful dancer and has a fine conception of her part, which she carries out well; the latter is a lovely little Miss of less years than the fingers of one hand.

BREAKING THE SOLID SOUTH, WasHINGTON, February 13 —A large delegatiou of Virginians—re- publicans and readjusters - are here to urge the president to appuint John Ambfiar Smith, ex-congressman, as solicitor of the treasury, The presi- dent knows the Virginia coalition ‘movement is the strongest way of tion calling on the secretary ot war for the correspondence regarding the encroachments upon the Chicago har- bor, and the proposed intervention by the United Stutes engineer's office, with the appeal made to the secretary of war for the further permission to invade the harbor. The resolution also requests the secretary to transmit to the house a statement showing the encroachments upon United States property east of Michigan avenue and south of the Chicago river, and to ‘extont and by whom said_prop- erty has been encroached upon.

Under a section of the act of July 1st, 1862, certain parties claim the right to pre- ompt tracts of said granted lands that were not sold within three years from the date of completion of the road and that had not been patented to the company. Commissioner Mec- Farland, of the general land office, has decided that it is not necessary to consider whether the lands were sold or disposed of within the meaning of suid section, as the company was com- pelled to sell or dispose of these lands within three years from the comple- tion of the road, and that as said lands were not sold within said speci- tied period, applicants will be allowed to enter them under the provision of said section. ¢ u R —— The Snow ia Nova Scotia.
