With a view to ascortaining by critical inapec ion how things wers be- ing carried on, theatrically speaking, in the Cliinese (uarter during the re cont New Year cele bration, a reporter of The Chionicle paid a visit during the past week to that dingy structure on Jackson street, between Kearny and Dupont, which boars the proten- tious appellation of the Royal Hong Theater.

A few weeks ago a public campfire was given in this city by the members of Geo. A. Custer Post, G. A. R., which was attended by quite a number of comrades from the other side of the river. At that time they promised te reciprocate in future and have made their word good by the following invi- tation: Couvncin BLures, Ia. , March 14, Frank M. Moore, Beq., Omsha, Neb. : Comrans—Abe Lincoln Post Nn. 29, G. A, R., Department of Towa, will hold a campfire Friduy evening, VMarch 17, at whiciv timo ali ‘comrades of your pust are cordinlly invited to be present and participate with us, It |is hoped that wo may sce a goodly number of your post present on that oceasion and become better acquaint- - [ ed with each other, as soldiers and comrades of the rebellion who have ocoolie brushed past, baaring on his head an immense sugar-coatea pagoda of a cake, and elbowed his ny:fmm the right hand side passage. Here was the chance, and Asmodeus and the scribe elbowed their way towards the stege in tho rear of t{o pagoda man, Arrived at the proscenjum, or, rather, the place where it ought to have been had there been one, the coolie delivered his burden to some Now it was evident that both sides of the stage, which is destitute of wings, econery or anysuch adv: ncd dram stic paraphernalia, were occupied by spec- tators of the same class as those in the auditorium; and if by them, why not by others? Asmodeuy, who is of an azgressive disposition, beckoned to the two nearest Mongols on the plat- form above him, and putting a bit a silver one —between hiv tceth was in continently hoisted by the hauds through the interveniuy five foet o epace which separated the stage from the auditorium, and having arrived there did the same oftice for his com- panion, his effurts supplemented by a “‘leg” from a sturdy Mongol beneath. No symptoms of surprise appoared on the face of any ons, The thing wus ample opportunity {0 observe all that wus going on, OBSERVATIONS ON THE STAGE, Below, in the auditorium, a vast sea of human faces, rank upon rank, looking intently at the actors; ocoupy- ing a space of some thirty feet square in the center of the stage the actors themselves, backed by the orchestra; ranged at each side of the stage, in a free and easy way, some hundred Chinamen, standing close up to the central space reserved for the players. No division line, no scon- an exhibition as simple, as primitive, as go-as-you-please as could possibly be the rendition of the Adipus Ty- rannus on Attic boards—nay, much more 80, for we have no authority for supposing that the audience in the stage. Three, four or five actors,gor- geously costumed, held the boards at a time, bowing and salaaming, gestic- ulating and talking with much anima- tion, and entering and exiting by turns through curtained doors leading to the back. One could plainly dis- cern from the pantomime the charac- ters of the jilted spouse, the angry parent, the fasored lover and other well known accessory roles of the so- passed through the trying ordeal of fire. By so doing may we ever perpe- trate the memory of the deprivations of our army life and cherish in our hearts the love of those dear comrades whom we left sleeping by the road- sidos, 1n the swamps and on southern battlefields, Please let mo know about the num- ber we may expect from your post, and oblige Yours in F., C. and L., Hvon L. W, Goss, Adjutang. This cordial invitation has been ac- cepted and the following communica- tion from the Custer post commander, Frank M. Moore, will be of interest to all the grand army boys of Omaha: ATTENTION, All comrades and friends of the G. A.

Bishop Jobn Sharpe, of Salt Lake, arrived in Omaha Wodnesday from the ciety drama, homogeneous, doubtless, all the world over. ~An old lady, evi- dently tho Mrs. Judah of the piece, was full of jokes, and kept the audi- ence convulsed during the declama- tion of her lines. There was a song and dance .interlude by all hands; there was an operatic melody to the tuneful accompaniment of the beol-a- bang: there was music rendered by an orchestra of three, who satimmediate- ly behind the players, and not bad music either, even measured by a Caucasian standard, taking into oon- sideration the string and wind instru- ments employed, whose chief merit secms to be in their shrillness. BEAUTIES OF THE GREENROOM, Present’y a sudden tap on the shoulder from hehind caused the re- porter to turn, 0 5 “Come with me," said a forbidding looking Mongol, much- as a policeman might do, at the same timo le the way to the curtained door at back of the stage. Asmodeus had disap- eared. There was nothing to dobut follow with somewhat gloomy fore- bodings of the usual fate that befalls intruders. The door, however, mere- ly opened into the greenroom, and it appearcd that the business manager, Yung Sing, for he it was who had giv- en the authoritive sumimons just re- corded, ouly wunted to intreduce his Caucasian guests to the notors and muke himsolf gencrally agreeable, The actors numbered twenty, and the polite Yung Bing, with his own hand, wrote down the names as follows: oust.
