The Minstrels.
Primrose & West’s minstrels
played last night to a very good
house: T£e opening was something
unusual, and pleased the audience.
Some specialties were very good,
but asawhoie the show was Inferior
to what has generally visited
Amerleus. The street parade
amounted to nothing, and the elec
tric lights, so extensively adver
tised in the march of the "Imperi
als,” was entirely omitted, though
the drilling was fine without It. No
-enoores were permitted, >nd
general desire of the managemi
seemed to be to get through as soon
as possible. Altogether, U wae a
fair show, but not up to the stand

ripe BllUard FUylng,
Yesterday, the billiard playing of
Mr. George Powers, of the Minstrel
troup, at the Allen House bar,
gathered a large crowd, and be cer
tainly Is the best player who ever
handled a oue In Amerleus. Ev
erybody else stopped playing, and
watched bis shots. He wss playing
with one of the best plsyers In the
city, and cbuld have easily grand
discounted him. Anything lest
than oue hundred was a small run
fer him, aud his fancy shots were
marvels. Never was such playing
seen here, and the crot/d continu
ously applauded his shill.
Betides being an excellent bit
Hard player, Mr. Powers Is a clever
gentleman and a good minstrel
man. His work last night added
much to the performance.

agreed.; These mi Vant* ate trained
for their positions, and can do at
much work as three negro servants
will, while they are careful and
neat. Higher wages would have to
be paid,'but ll would be more than
made up lu what they would uot
steal, and each family would.not
have to feed tbe cook and her sister
and her cousin and her aunts, to
say nothing of tbe house girls rela
tives.
Introddcing white labor will
break up all the old associations
connected vith negro servants, but
It will also greatly lighten house
hold expenses—a matter that would
gladden'many a husband’s heart
and fattier his pocket-book.
This can be done—all that Is
needed is for some energetic lady to
call a few friends together and start

Of watpr may be discerned in the follow
ing simple manner:- Let down into the
water which is being experimented on
a metal tube (opened at the top and
closed with a clean plate of glass at the
.other end) near to some white object, a
big white bowlder, for on instance, where
the water is 15 or 30 feet deep. Tjie
bowlder or other object, when viewed
through the tube, will bo found to be of
a most bcantifnl bine color. It would
appear to be yellow if its color was due
to the light reflected by extremely stnall

No More Coloring Pipes.
Coloring meerschaums has gono out of
fashion. Yean ago it was quite a fad,
but so much trouble wss required to
keep a meerschaum in good condition
that most smokers discarded, their pipes
and took to cigars. A meerschaum, .to
be properly colored, needs as much at
tention os a baby. It mnst not get too
hot. for then the wax coating is driven
ont and the pipe doe* not take a proper
color; it mnst not get too cold nor cool
off suddenly, or It will crack; yon mnst
not touch it with yew-fingers, nor smoke
it too steadily, nor keep a cover on it
while using it, for in either case it 1*
spoiled. Men, os n rule, do not smoke
for the pleasure of coloring a pipe,' bnt
for tbe comfort they get from the habit,
and so the meerschaum has given way.—
