Billy, as everybody knows, is the heist negro comedian that ever visited tho State, j He has few equals anywhere. His delineations are the most grotesque and most amusing imaginable. If there is any art in negro minstrelsy, Billy lias acquired it. As it is always well to be acquainted with tho best of everything, wo counsel all who wishfo see the best and most funny of all negro minstrels, to go to the Varieties on Wednesdaynigat.cHot, Hoites, Hottest.—Yesterday was a warm day. As from curly mom to noon the thermometer kept an unaccountable rising, we were at a loss to account for this increasing temperature. At last, lookingautof our sanctum window, we saw the cause. Our noisy neighbors, Bonnet Brocklewan, had the whole sidewalk tilled with Charter Oak stoves, and a small bureau of freedmen unloading more. We said last spring thaat they had stoves enough for all Texas, bat it seems they wanted a few more. •Wor.SE THE SAtTiiLEUE.—We are told that a few nights since, black men iu the uniform of United States soldiers way-laid an old Judy who had been collecting money to newly carpet the Catholic Church on the 21st and robbed her of all the money. The rascals deserve the heaviest punishment.Baptism.—Eight adults were baptised ycs-terdav at the Cathedral.THE OPEJl-l.We may felicitate ourselves on the gratifying success which has attended the introduction of the Italian Opera in Galveston. From first to last tie season has been successful. -•So soon as the public learned the quality of tiie troupe which visited our city, they gave an abundant patronage. The Impressario will leave our ci:v without being dissatisfied withhis visit. Net so with Houston.. The small-. *est receipts for one night in Galveston were more than double, nearly tripple the largest received in Houston. We make no comments. We draw no inference. Whenever any amusement or entertainment of character and merit have viiie 1 Galveston, it has been liberally supported.
