Opera House ImsI Night— Mary Stuart
me Rendered by Janauehek
Schiller’s play is by far the best and
most interesting which has ever been
composed on this epoch iu the life of the
hapless Queen of Sootts, who soemod to
he doomed to misfortune. The author
has found a grand interpreter in MadAtuo
Janauschek. We havo several times
witnessed tho representation, but
it attracts and fascinates the oftener
it is. hood. A queen personates
queen. In Janauschek’H playing you see
Mary Stuart before you shorn of her
orown, bnt not of her diguityor courtly
bearing. The power of repression is
wonderfully illustrated, but when passion
does break forth it is magnificent, aud
causes proud Elizabeth to quail before
the storm. Iu this play tho strong points
of tho two queeus are brought forth
and vividly contrasted. The love of
Leicester aud the rest give enough of ro
mance. In tho soeno with Mortimer
and the interview in the wood fronting
Fotheringsy Castle, with Elizabeth, did
the great tragedienne display her force
and vigor. Soorn, contempt and derision
are found in the tones of triumph and
exultation over the bastard. The acting
was superb. Breathless silenco or loud
applause testified the pleasure of tho audi
ence.
The Elizaboth of Miss Minnie Monk
was better than that of anyone we have
yet seen in Colnmbns in that oharaoter.
“Sir Edward Mortimer," personated by
Mr. Geo. D. Chaplin, was a most clever
pieco of acting, and Mr. Morton played
oapitally the “Earl of Leicester."
The entire company is good, and ren
ders au able support to the great actor.
Art knows no sex.
The audienoe was a very large one.
crowded in some portions, though the
night was rainy aud the streets full of
mud.
To-night Madame Janauschek person
ates the character of Elizaboth in the
“Earl of Essex.” Attend, if you would
wituess a magnificent rendition.

amount to nothing. There is no time or

The bill introduced by lion. B. H.
Crawford, whioh passed the Georgia Sen
ate on Thursday, to amend the act creat
ing a Board of Commissioners, of Musco
gee, is not the one transferring the jail
to the control of the Sheriff. Senator
Crawford’s bill is io amend the second
section of the act, in accordance with the
request of the last Grand Jury of the
county. Its purport that the term of
office of tho commissioners shall hot all
expire at the same time ; so that some old
commissioners who understand the busi
ness may always bo in. It does not
sborteu the term of office except for the
next throe years, and the Grand Jury ap
points one each year after that to serve
three years.
Judge Williams has introduced a bill
into the.IIouse repealing the seventh sec
tion. This, if passed, will take tho jail
from tho oommivbioners and give it to the
sheriff. Strong petitions both for and
affainat have been forwarded to our rep
resentatives.

Forestalling the Market—Stealing Reef
Before Daylight,
A nogro tuun, Phil Avery, who lives
town but works in the country, was cup-
tured before daylight yesterday morning,
by officers Smith aud Brad) 1 . He was
fouud oarrying a quarter of beef t
house. The officers followed him aud re
covered the other three quarters and the
hide. According to Phil's story, he hid
agreed to buy a beef from one John Stu
art, who he thinks live' on the plautatiou
of Mr. Bars. Next morning he came
across the seller, win had just killed a
dun-colored cow on the east commons,
near the brickyard. He said he gave at
one lime $1 25, and at auother $2 50.
John told him to throw’ the head and
horns into the brickyard pond, after cut
ting off* tho ears, or he (John) would do
it. Ho (Phil) then pitched them in the
pond, whence they were dragged by the
officers. When Phil had arrived Johu
had skinned the beef, but refused to hulp
him carry the beef boute. He was ar
rested before daylight in tho morning
Ho had whipped lii« step daughter aud
made her help carry the stolen meat to
his house. The whole truth of the matter
was, Phil had killed some one's fat cow
on the commons, butchered her there,
aud the officers arrested him in the act of
removal from the scene of alaughter.
There was no John in the case. Phil
said Mr. Shepherd, iu whose shop he
worked, would become his security. Tho
Mayor required Phil to give a bond of
$300 to answer tho charge before the uext
Superior Court. He could not give it,
aud was sent to j Ail.
This way of killing cows ou the com
mons and selling beef outside the market
will not pay.

THE SPNDAY ENQUIRER.
With the New Yew we upwete tho SUNDAY ENQUIRES from the DAILY.
This wes a necessity, from ths (sot that many hundred* were taking the SUNDAY
that did not take ths Dsilt, and it was bat right that they should have a journal that
visited them but onae e week, superior to ths Daily. Oa this paper we
largely risk the financial anocesa of oar enterprise, end this being the case we pro
pose to make it in every way worthy of popnlar support, aud the best advertising me
dinm in the land.
We do not dream of rapid fortune or unexpected suocees. Long years of hard,
determined work, with ono great object in view are absolutely essential to win. Al
the requisites of energy,however, would be unavailing as steam without praetioal me
chinery, if we did not make a paper that commended itself to the publio and in whose
pages eaeh subscriber felt he was more than compensated for his trifling investment.
Knowing this we propose to make the SUNDAY ENQUIRER tho best family paper
in the South.
ITS DEPARTMENTS.
One aerial STORY of merit and thrilling interest will be found in the oolumna
of the SUNDAY ENQUIRER. Three stories, at least, each a volume in iteelf, and
\crittm acprtwly for thit paper, will be published during the year. Esoh story wil
bo worth tho subscription prioe of the paper.
General Literature,
Poetry, oirginsl and selected, will be fouud in the appropriate calamus. At
least two hundred poems, sufficient to make a large volume, will be published during
the year. In addition to this there will be s great it'utubor of short and interesting
sketches of travel, romance or general intercut.
Ladies’ Department. -
This will be a marked feature in the SUNDAY ENQUIRES. While the editor
of this Department will give s resume of the changes in the world of fashion, st the
same time great care will be exercised in the preparation of all articles, the desire
being to give the necessary information without creating any tendency to the slavery
of dress. Articles on female education, records of noble women, and kindred matters
will be made s specialty of this department.
Household Matters.
Cooking is ns much of s science as domestic economy; therefore this depart
ment will be found of nnusnol interest to every houHokeeper iu the land. All *»ew
receipes that tend to make food more palitable or home more comfortable will be
published. Besides reeeipes that are useful in the proHervatiou of furniture, cloth
ing, ornaments, $he decoration of homo, and the saving of money. Everybody will
appreciate fully the benefit of this department and it ia our desire that they con-
rib ate to it from their own experience and so do good to their house keeping sisters.
Medical Advice.
While every person if dangerously or rcverely ill should st once call in a physi
cian, yet there ismuoh in minor cases that conld be done with a knowledge of simple
and easily procured remedies. These will be furnished in this department, in addi
tion to articles on physiology and the laws of health.
Sunday Reading.
While it is proposed to make the SUNDAYjENQUIRER such a paper as can be
read at all times and by^every person with advautege, yet it is but right that wo
should set aside a department especially devoted to religion without sectarianism.
Church news will be given under this head, besides sacred poetry and the beat
thoughts of tho greatest pulpit orators.
Scientific Notes.
The world owes its progoess to the heart of pure religion and the ceaseless ’or&ia
of her daughter and band maiden, Soience. Every day new discoveries are being
made, and these, where they are of geuerul interest and practical utility will l«e reg
ularly furnished to the subscribers of the SUNDAY ENQUIRER.
New Publications.
In this age of many books it is impossible to keep np with the literature of tho
day. This department by careful reviews will keep our subscribers informed, and
where necessary the cream of all the books and periodicals will be carefully given.
Answers to Correspondents.
From this time forward this will be a regn’ar and carefully edited department of
the SUNDAY ENQUIRER. All questions proposed will be auswered carefully and
promptly, to the best of the editor’s knowledge and ability, and where an answer
cannot be given the question will be published and answers solicited. By this
means much information can be conveyed and amusement received.
