The season of 1886-7 was opened at Springer opera house last night by the “My Aunt Bridget” company. Considering the fact that the weather was disagreeably warm, the attendance was very fair. The appearance of the opera house was striking, and showed marked improvement. The wbIIr have been neatly and handsomely papered, and the new scenery was favorably commented upon by all present. Ah a play “My Aunt Bridget” possesses no par ticular merit. It simply furnishes scope for a very good company to display its talent. There is Am in it, and the company gets It out and gives the audience the Aill benefit of it. There is good singing and better dancing, and the medley makes up an enjoyable enter tainment. There is not a poorly por trayed character in the play, but George Monroe as "My Aunt Bridget” and John Rice, as P. Alton McVeigh, deserve special mention. The singing and dancing of John Rice and Miss Katie Hart won special applause. They intro duced new songs and dances, and the chestnut bell was not rung on them a single time. Alto gether, the company and the play are worthy of liberal patronage from the public. TIIE LADIES MEET. Committees Appointed to Work for the Public Library.

Aii Address to Their Fellow Workmen Throughout the United States and Canada. To the Mechanics of the United States and Canada, and their Sympathizers: The under signed committee of Mechanics* Up ion No. 1, of Charleston, 8. C., in presenting this appeal for aid to their brethren and friends, would briefly bring to their attention the following facts: The union is a long existing corporation, em bracing many of the mechanics of the city, and is organized for the purpose of promoting con cert of action and unanimity of feeling, and in general, of advancing the welfare and interests of the craft in this place, while more particularly it is intended to contribute to the poor and suf fering among its members and their families. For eighteen years post it has been performing efficient service in and about these worthy objects of its existence, and has established a strong grasp upon the hopes and affections of this portion of the community. In order the better to promote the work of the association and to cement the union among them, far some time past strenuous efforts have been making to supply a suitable hall far the meetings of the union, and also far providing means for the moral, Bocial and educational advancement of those connected with it. A lot had been secured and much of the building had been completed when the terrible convulsion which shook a continent has shattered the work and imposed a loss nnd damage which we are unable to sustain unaided. There has been one cheering and steady light, throughout the whole of the past week of gloom CABBAGE by the barrel or head, very cheap. J. J. Wood. Nolli'o fo .Snl»«<‘rilM>iH*.

The society season opened definitely in Colum bus last evening with a soiree at the residence of Prof. H. W. Battle. It was an unqualified and brilliant success. The music was furnished by Mrs. Battle’s classes in music, and it equaled, if it did not surpass, anything the reporter has ever heard from amateurs. It was generally under stood that the soiree was to be an informal “by the children.” Those who attended were de- gol ten prospects and with the best wishes of lighted and surprised. The reporter for the many friends.—Montgomery Advertiser. Death or Mrs. Pair. Mrs. Matilda Pair, aged 35 years, died at the home of Mr. Frank Babbett, on Fourteenth srteet, at 1 p. m. yesterday, after an illness of eight months with dropsey.

A line of carriages fronted the house, and it was difficult to elbow one’s way even into the piazza. The scene inside, as viewed through the blinds, was pleasing aud brilliant. The folding doors of the two parlors were thrown back, making one continuous drawing room. The chairs were arranged a la opera house, and were filled with the creme de la creme of Columbus society. Scores were stand ing inside the drawing room, while the passage and piazza were literally filled. The crowd of guests was estimated by several at two hundred* There were certainly one hundred and seventy- five. It was the first social assemblage the re porter had ever seen in Columbus. The per centage of beauty was remarkably large. Mythology tells us that when the nine muses snug in their famous contest with Apollo on Mount Parnassus, each one sang to her favorite star as it rose. The first song last evening was “Moonlight Will Come Again.” It was thrillingly rendered by the senior class, and it was being sung just as the moon, full-orbed and shimmer ing, floated up on the horizon like a ship of gold on an opaque ocean. When all did so well it seems wrong to be in vidious by distinction. There was a printed pro gramme of nineteen selections, which were car ried through just as printed, and not a guest tired during its rendition, which occupied an hour nnd a half. There There were two hearty ai\d spontaneous encores. When Mrs. K. Johnston sang Millard’s vocal solo. “Parting,” the audience—for such we may I call so many guests—encored until she sang ! are In the hands of an All-wise and All-good Providence, and that has been the knowledge of the fact that the whole heart of this great people has been touched as perhaps it never was before, and as never before have we felt the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. In order to provide fluids for repairing the damage done and in this way promoting the charitable and other objects of the organization, and in order likewise io provide funds for the relief of the worthy and distressed bv reason of damage caused to them by the recent visitation, this committee appeals to mechanics and all others who sympathize with them. and with these objects. In doing so they feel that there is no need to do more than state their necessities. Kind and loving hearts would supply all rheto ric and argument, were any needed, but the simple story is enough. Small contributions from many will bear very lightly upon any one, yet the whole will rehabil itate us,and will aid this whole community to the extent that this, our organization, is in its midst a centre of charity and usefulness.

The Baltimore Sun has the following to say of them : “Wilson and Rankin’s minstrels opened the season at Ford’s Grand opera house last night, and there was a packed house to welcome them. The company is large and good. Many new and clever things were said and done. George Wil son’s quaint humor and Carl Rankin’s grotesque comedy were the main features of the first part. The Pavuuelus brought music from paving stones, tools and brooms. The Poluskis intro duced many new ideas that were heartily appre ciated by the audience. Altogether the opening night was an auspicious one. The house looked bright and beautlAil, the performances were Sat isfactory, and everybody seemed chcerftil aud happy.” Death of Mrs. Gorily. Mrs. Henrietta Gordy died at her home in this city yesterday morning, after a lingering illness of fever. She was a native of Harris county ami was fifty-six years of age, but for many years she has resided in this city. She was the widow of Mr. LaFayette, Gordy who died in 1871, leaving j her with four children to rear. How well she j accomplished the work is attested by the upright j characters of those who called her mother 1 and who to-day deeply mourn her j death. Her children are Captain Thomas \ Gordy, conductor on the Mobile and Girard rail- ! road, Mr. Jas. N. Gordy, Mrs. Cord ray and Mrs. Hendricks, and in their sad bereavement they have the sympathy of a host of friends. Mrs. 1 Gordy was a consistent member of St. Luke or w lio church, and her life exemplified the religion ! which sl\e professed. Surely, a good woiuau has ors have yet found a name, much less a de scription. The next and only other encore was given to Miss Katie Buttle on her piano solo, "Lohengrin,” by Wagner. She played it superbly and the encore was no more than a just desert. The audience were evidently hungry for more like it. On the encore Miss Battle played a selection from the Mikado. One of the sweetest sougs of the evening was “Sing, Smile and Slumber, “by Miss Mattie Preer This young lady has a voice of remarkable pathos aud compass, and with the cultivation which it is now receiving, her friends have every reason to hope and predict for her a rosy ftiture in the realm of song. There are few sweeter voices than hers anywhere. One of the most striking instrumental pieces of the evening was rendered on two pianos by four little girls. It was “Silver Trumpet March” by Misses Swift, Kirven, Baker and Kirven. The Duo—"Sophia Waltz,” by Misses Jennie Ingram and Clara Wolfeon charmed everybody. Miss Ida Solomon’s “Lullaby” was greatly ad mired, as was also ‘ Last Hope” by Miss Ligon. The two piano solos. “Grace and Beauty” and "1 Puratani Fantasie Brillanti,” by Misse.. Lizzie Hunter and L. Beach respectively, took the au dience by storm. The evening, the programme and the entire entertainment passed off without a flaw or ajar. Few more enjoyable events have oecurred in Columbus in a long time. Prof. Battle himself was master of ceremonies, and called out the programme, materially aiding those who were without programmes ere away from the lights in keeping up with the music. The professor didn’t sing any. He said they wouldn’t let him. But his voice Cruelty to A ill mills. Columbus, Ga., September 16.—Editor En quirer-Sun : Is there a branch of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals in Colum bus ? The writer witnessed the following occurrence while seated on his front stoop day before yester day aflernoou : A negro man and woman came slowly down the sidewalk talking. Immediately in front of the house was a fine, fat cow, grazing. When the woman spied the cow, she rushed V.ut into the street, crying: “Here yeris, an’ 1’se been huntin’ yer up an’ down dese streets; I’ll fix yer!” and picking up a brick, she struck the cow, full on side, a terrible blow’. A second brick followed the first wth the same result. Not satisfied with this, she ran after the cow, beating her all the way up the street. The cow was a very fine one, with no horns, and was cer- j tainly injured, j Frequent instances of mistreatment of animals | have come under the writer’s observation, and the attention of the proper officers should be called to the same.

Shoitly after her marriage she moved to Califor nia, where she was residing at the time of her death.

Montgomery, of South Shafts- bury, Vt., took out policy No. 107,145 in the Mutu al Life in 1870. The policy became a claim last spring and appears in the list of June 18. The face of the policy was for $1000, and the additions amounted to $407, or only $35.20 less than the total amount of premiums which had been paid on the policy. Insurance for sixteen years, and $1000 to the estate of the insured, cost therefore $2.20 per year. In January, 1885, Dr. George W. Blake, of Iqwcj Salem, Washington county, O., took out policy No. 259,230 in this company for $1000, paying one annual premium of $31.80. On June 10, 1885, he died. In August the company paid his wife $1002. Within eight months from the time the policy was issued, Mrs. Blake had received from the company $1002, which had cost her husband $31.80. Joseph B. Barnes, a farmer of Northampton county, N. O., had paid but one premium of $57.99 on his policy of $1500. At the time of his death last week, his heirs received $1503, as the fruits of this small investment. In 1861, John H. Young, of Beverly, Massachu setts, Insured his life in this company for $2000. He allowed his dividends to accumulate, and last week his widow received $3658 as the result of his loving foresight. Dr. George P. Barnes, of Bristol, R. I., secured a policy in this company for $3000, on the five- year distribution plan, July 1,1885. On the third day of last October he was stricken by heart dis ease, tind died as though he had been shot. This happened in Dresden, Germany, while he was on his wedding trip; and last week the ftill amount of the claim, on which but one premium had been paid, was handed to the young wife and widow. In this week’s list of paid claims appears the name of George N. Walker, a prominent citizen of Peoria, 111. In 1848 Mr. Walker took a $3000 ordinary life policy in this Company. It cost him $75 a year, and he kept it paid up until the day of his death. The accumulated dividends rtearly equal the face value of the policy and the total claim paid to Mrs. Walker is $5727. D. F.
