Solid's Opera House was crowded last
evening to witness tbe performance of
"Nils, or Woman's Constancy," by the
Zoe Tronps. In the character of "Nita"
il'll. Z H was nertectlv at horn. Tlor not.
trig was charming and tb manner in which
ha delineated tbe devotion ol woman and
pictured out the many trials to which she
Is subjected to test bur constancy and cause
her to prove faithless, was true to life. Hor
voice was in excellent condition, in fact we
can discern a decided improvement since
her last appearance here. In tbe character
'of Nits, tbe Gipsey," a rare opportunity
it afforded lor her to show the intonation of
her finely trained voice, and the simple and
unaffected manner in .which she executed
lb must difficult parts in the character
at once stamps her as a sUr of the fire I
magnitude in the theatrical horizon. Mr.
11. L iDgdon as Leo added fresh laurels to
those already gained. Mr. Fleming as Ar-,
tlmr Hayden proved bimsuir a first-class
factor. Mr. E. W. Marston as Ramble kept
the audience in good humor during tbe en
tire perlormacce. Messrs. Mitchell, France,
Smith, Junes, god Miss Bertha Smith and
Mrs. Sidney Wilkins and Marston all ex
hibited great histriaulo latent.
To-night will be produced tbe great nau

From tlu LitcSytld, III, Mmilor.
About four yean ago, as near as we can
learn there cams lo Lildhfleld trom Missouri
a man about 60 years of sge, calling hiunelf
Cavult. Here he engiged in the'oceiiDatlon
of boarding , house keeper nnd teamster.
Wiib him'canie a wiinun apparently about
35 years old, who presided ever the domes
tic departments of Cavolt. She represented
herself as tbe widowed daughter-in-law of
the mm, and bad two children who pained
as her children and the man's grandchildren
be was generally known in the neighbor
hood as tbe "Widow Cavolt." Both the
man and t.ie woman represented that her
buihand, dying, bad commrued her and tbe
children to tbe care of his father, with tbe
urgent request that be would always remain
with and protect and care fr them. The
fumily were considered by those who knew
tbem as honest, respectable people, and tbe
fidelity with which Cavolt fulfilled the trust
reposed in him by bis departed son wai the
subject of frequent coloium.
As time passed on th eCavolts rnaieminy
acquaintances in the town, and some friends
Among tbe latter was a young man named
Reuben Akers, an honest and thrifty woik
ingmsn. Mr. Akers became a frequent visl.
tor at the Cavolt bouse, till friendship ripen
ed into kindred and tenderer sentiment.
The coutemptatioa of tbe young widow's
many graces of person and domestic virtues
was too many for blm. The oft quoted
advice of old Weller to bis son Samivel u-
'Bevsre of the viders." If ever heard bv
him, was forgotten in tbe intoxlcatlou of
'Loves young dream" acd -well, last Msrch
he and the widow became man and wife.
At least Reuben thought so, but doubtless
tho law would take another view of tbe sub"
ject, as, io tact, Reuben does now. The
ceremouy over, the first to grasp Reuben's
band and wish blra much joy was Cavolt,
tbe aged and pious guardian of the deceas
ed Sju's widow and children. The blushing
rile received the salutations and congratu
lation of her friends, and everything was
happy as say twenty or thirty marriage
bull.
The boneymoew passed !n fact, tlx
months 'passed withont any apparent di"
minutloa. of tbe honey, or Its palling on tbe
taste. At the end of that time a brother o,
tbe bride, wbo in the mean time bad come
t3 Litchfield, lei an immense cat cut ol the
bag; otherwise, he revealed the astounding
fact that Cavolt was tbe wife of his daugb
ler-ln-law, and the father of bis grsndchild-
r.-n tbst is to say, that be was husband
and father, and.nol as all father-in-law and
grandlatuer, tbe deud son and his dying
cnargo being light and airy creations of the
playlul fancy of Mr. and Mis. Cavolt.
Natumlly, Kcubeu Akers was ronsiJerab
ly excited when be heard tbe brother's
story',and he went Immediately tooldCavol1
to Inquire as to its truth. The patriarch
acknowledged the com Irankly; De- said
he was old, and bad but few more years to
live, and not wishing to leave a young
widow destitnte to struggle for a living tor
herself and little one in an unfeeling world)
be thought It would be letter to have her
united to a worthy and Industrious young
man, to whose tender care he could safely
intrust ber wbA be should le called to
another and better borne.
Instead of being ovtrcome with emotion
or soothed and satisfied with this explana
tion, Ken be a Sew Into a rage, and immedi
ately abandoned bis hulf interest in tbe
coojugal claim; whereupon, shortly after
the Civolts, yonng and old with bag and
baggage, departed for part unknown.
What slicks la Reuben's craw is tbe hand
shaking and congratulation of old Cavolt on
the wedding day. "Why," tbe old ecalla
wag was tbe first to wish me much juy."
