The audience that greeted Barlow Broth ers' Minstrels at the Opera House, Wednes. day evening of last week, was not as large as It should bave been.

The singing of tho La Belle Trio nnd tho quartette, the female impersonations ot Harry H-irton, the gymnastic performance of Wood and Hcaly, and the Instrumental polos and or chestral playing were all first class.

This year Easter will fall on tho 1st of April nine days earlier than last year, The earliest possible day for Easter Is the 22d of March, and It fell on that day in 1818 for the first time In about 200 years. One object in arranging the calendar moon was that Easter might never fall on tho same day as the Jewish Passover. Tbey did occur, however, In 1805 on the 14th day ot April, In 1825 on the Sd day of April and will do so again In 1924 oo tbc 1st of April, in 1927 on tho 17th of April and in 1981 on the 18th of April. Last year Easter and tho Passover were separated by but a single night. Tho Jewish festival usually occurs in Passion Week, in Lent, and never before the 29th of March or after the 35th of April. On the other hand, the Christian festival is never before tbe 22d of March or after the 25th of April. In 1013 Easter will fall on the 22d of March as It did in 1845 and 1860. The latest Easter oc cuired in 1886, tbe 25th ot. April, and it will not fall on that date again until 1943. Tbe year of 1889, which comprises the latter part of 118th, and the beginning ot the 114th year of American Independance, corresponds to the year 6602 ol tho Julian period; to 7308 99 of the Byzantine era, the year 7398 commencing beptember 1 1 to 5649-50 of the Jewish era, the year 6650 commencing September 25 at sunset ; to 2043 since tho foundation of Rome, accord ing to Varro ; to 3036 since the beginning of tbe era of Nabonassar, which has been assigned to Wednesday, February 26 of tho 3967th year of Julian period, and tn the notation of astronomers to the 74Cth year before tbe birth of Christ ; to the 2665 ot tbe Olympiads ; to 2301 ot the Grecian era or era of the Belucidui; to 1005 of tho era ot Diocletian ; to 2549 of the Japanese era, and tho 23d year ot the period entitled "Meijl." The year 1W7 of the Moham. mcda. era, or tho Hegira, begins on August 28, 1889, and the first day of January, 1889, is tue ,iu,w-iiu uay since tne commence ment of the Julhn period. Science. "Our readers will kindly overlook the small amount of editorial matter we pre sent this week," says a Dakota paper, "Tbe reason of this is that wo decided at tbe last moment not to publish a column and a.half article which we had written with great care on the 'Stability and Per manent Character of Our City's Growth,' owing to the tact that just at we finished It the large dry gopdf store building ot Gopher Hole fell with a crash, while fire broke out and consumed the railroad depot building, and tbe high wind carried away Col.
