We had fatly intended to go aioand and make the acquaintance of our business men, but when we tried to get the time, found we didn’t have it, as has been the case with many before us, when they went after something. We are sorry that this is os it is—not that our business men have lost anything by not making oar acquaintance, but because wo may have lost something by not becoming ac quainted with them. At a future time we will attend to this matter. We saw an incident this afternoon— that’s the way they generally pul it, isn't it?—and it made us feel quoer. A poor darkey boy had been annoying a mer chant of this city for some time, until the patience of the gentleman had become exhausted, and ho retaliated by using a brush, a broom, a stick, or something, on the darkey’s back, which caused him to make a great fuss and draw quite a crowd and a policeman around him. Ho kept sobbing out his talc to the assembly, un til the policeman ordered him when he tearfully took his leave. Now to think that this poor fellow should so give way to his temper ns to make a public ex bibition of his tears was a sorrowful sight to ns. But perhaps it is not unusual here. This morning we took the liberty and fcirao and made a friendly call on neighbors of the Republican. Wo found everyone jolly and good-natured. Tom Graham was just havinu a good laugh over one of the compositors (who, by the way. reads the /Scientific American) telling him that a good substituto for eggs had been found—or rather a me obaniool egg had been invented that had a shell and inside just like an egg, only it would not batoh—but it would rot. We were thankful that we arrived iu time to learn suoh valuable nows. Mr. Stanfield, tho gentlemanly foreman, ex tended us the right hand of fellowship, but didn't have time to talk very much, as he was "making up” tne forms of thnt great and good sheot—tho Re publican. We like to meet such men as Mr. Stanfield—it gives us a thrill that goes to our very toes to shake haqds with them. \\v. Hancock, tho editor-in-chief, gavo us a cordial good-morning, but seemed to know instinctively Hint our oiipl, ria Tliinl/nlu Pnnu brain was too smnllnnd unriow to cope hUU1 -DULKOIS, 1 <111S with him in conversation, and so did not try us. On tho whole, we uro pleased with oar neighbors of tho Republic and are glad they are so sociable. After a short visit to tho Barlow House on Friday afternoon, where Charley Bar low told us what he knew, wo wont where everybody now goes—»tQ the now opera houso. Thero is no uso in our tell ing you what it looks like, or how clco and pretty it is, for you know that already. A couple of Indies went up beforo us aud we had an opportunity of lenrniug what others thought of It. One said the dressing rooms wero too small, and the other- that the stage was too large, but of oourse ve all have our pri vate opinions about s :ch things. Mr. Reynolds, tne scenic painter, is pushing his work forward rapidly, aud if wo may judge that the vest of the work will cor respond with his, then the opera house, when finished, will be very nlco. Ono scene in particular is very uttraotivc, mid that is of a coast, with the white-capped billows dashing over it. It is said that an amateur theatrical company will oc cupy tho opera some time next mouth. oming AND THAT IS NOT THE BEST OF IT, Mrs. M.
