Omuta. Houstr..—A large and select
audience assembled at the Opera House
list evening to welcome Letts, the Queen
of the stage.- "Paul, the Pet of ' the Pet
ticoats," was the opening piece. The
piece played by any one else than Lotta
is, to say the least of it, dull and upin
teresting, but with the aid of her genius,
it is rendered not only interesting but
highly entertaining. , T s tie entertainment
concluded with "Nan, the Good for
Nothing," which is one of Lotta's spe
cialties, and thought by many to be her
best character. The cast in both pieces
was good, and the entertainment was
highly satisfactory to the audience.
Lotta was repeatedly called before the
curtain. She introduces several new
songs in both pieces, which adds ma
terially to their interest. The same
bill is announced for to-night.
Surrun's ATf nRIcAN THEATRE.—The
great attraction at the American Theatre
is the Victorelli brothers, who are ad
mitted to be the greatest gymnasts of the
age. There are, however, several other
attractions, whose brilliancy is scarcely
eclipsed by these wonderful performers,
and the result is full houses every night.
PfTTEMINIGH THEATRE.—The circus at
the old Theatre is drawing large houses
every night. The company is one of the
very best, and comprises some of the
most brilliant stars of the arena. The
Kin Klux Klan have arrived, and under
command of George Reynolds are night
ly introduced and the mysteries of the
order revealed.
ENotasa OPERA.—We are glad to
learn that the celebrated comic English
Opera Troupe, Miss Susan Galion prima
donna, will be at the Academy of Music
a few nights next week. The entire
press of Boston, New York and Phila•
delphia, in which cities they have been
playing to crowded houses. speak of
them in the most complimentary manner.
MUSEUM. The attraction at the
Museum is the original "Punch and
Judy" exhibition every hour. This is a
veryamnsing sight for children, and pa
rents should not deprive them of the
pleasure of seeing it. There are a num
ber of other attractions, of which we
have previously spoken, ail of which are
hi*ly interesting.

her, Gross, Hallman, Martrnan, Herron,

his motion, in order to allow Mr. Phillips
to present his Motion to reconsider.

and carried.

Mr. Gallaher opposed the approval of
the act in the 'strongest measure, and
spoke at considerable length on the
subject. '

and produced figures by which he claimed

at least.) •
Mr. Craig favored the bill. He said
the adoption of the bill was not only a
matter of necessity but a matter of real
economy.
Mr. Burgwin was in favor of a paid de
partment In Principle. His reason for
opposing the 1 bill when it was before
Councils at last meeting was because he
thought as a represents lye from one of
the country districts it would perhaps be
imposing a tax upon his constituency
unnecessarily. If he had been , a repre
sentative of the old wards he would have
voted for the bill, and now, rather than
run the risk of defeating the bill hereaf
ter when it fight be necessary to the
,
1 , 1
entire city, he would cast his vote for
the bill. •
Mr. Phillips desired to correct some
statementsm
ii de by the gentleman op
pssing the m asnre, relative to the cost
of a paid fire epartment. He said that
$35,000 had already been appropriated to

the Committee had been called upon for
130,000 moreor building purposes. ,

CITY PARK, &C.
Mr. McCarthy, Fifth ward, moved to
take up the proposed act relative to a
City Park, de., laid,over ori - second read
ing at the last meeting.
The - President- stated, such a motion
was in order. •
Mr. McCandless, Eleventh ward, con
tended that under the rules the act could
not be taken up until the next regular
meeting; in other words, it having been
laidover under the rules, a month should
intervene before it could be called up
again. 1 •
Mr. McCarthy thought the member
from the Eleventh ward was captious. ,
Mr. Batchelor, Twentieth ward;
thought discussion out of order, the
President having ruled the -point.
_, •
The proposed act, and r esolution.
urging our Representatives in the Legis
lature to procure its passage as approv
ed by Select Council, were taken up. i
Mr. Batchelor thought that to the first
part of the , bill, authorizing the issue of '1
new city bonds to retire old ones, there,
could be no objection. As for the other,
part, relative to a City Park. he was
willing the question should be submit
ted to the people, as proposed, to decide
whether or not there should be a Park.
Mr. Reed, Eleventh ward, moved that
a separate vote be taken, first on the is
suing of new bonds for old ones, and
next on the City Park. Carried. for
issuing
vote was first on the provision for
issuing bonds, which prevailed by a
unanimous vote. •
On the provisions concerning City Park

as an arnendment: ' . -
