ABBOTT'S OPERA HOUSE.

"The Pkofmgate " was prcduced last vening in Abbott's Opera Houso by tho Wade-Allcyno Company to a fair audio cc. Tim livoact drama is doacriptivo of I ieh modern lifo, and is in tho usual stylo. A farmer's pretty daughter captivatos n, young scion of tho aii-etocracy, who loves without wishing to wed. Meanwhile, a young doctor named Gerald McAlmont secures, tho affection of Violet Callaghao, tha farmer's daughter, and then sols off for Dublin. Tho young aristocrat, tho Hon. Desmond Ryan, with tho a«?istanco of Tim Mahoney, a rejected lover of Violot, succeeds iti carrying off tho maiden to his country. What cynics might term a singular feature is introduced in tho ehapo of an honest lawyer, Mr Ralph Morison, who through out is Violot'n good genius and the Nemesis of tho villain. This gentleman works matters so well that the lion. Desmond Ryan is compelled by M 3 undo, tho Duke of Munster, to marry tho maiden. Various scenes of unhappy wedded lifo are then pourtrayod, and at length Gerald Mc.Mmont is seized, blind folded, and brought to the Hon. Desmond's house for the purpose of poisoning his wife. The übiquitous lawyer this time happens to bo in an adjacent room, and hears the com pact. Gorald writes tho prescription which ia administered to Violet, nnd fends her into a rfeathliko tranco. Various striking scenes occur, ->,rd all culminates in Nemesis proving that Ryan ia riot tho oldest son of hia father, but that Gorald, tho con of o former marringo, is tho real heir. At this stoge Tim Mahoney fortuitously turns up and murders Desmond Ryan, and thus romoves him out of tho way of Violet's happiness, and tho curtain falls upon a happy party, composed of tho real Duko of Munster and the psuedo Duchess, Mr Mor ison and Tim Mahoney, who, throughout, is the mirth-creating character of tho piece. Miss Florence Wado exhibited high artistic power in her delineation of Ihe character of Violet Callsfrhan, aad Mr Alloyne oxhibitod tho wonderful composuro of a family eolici tor, who i* Hurprisod at nothing, and can prod 11 co documentary proof of all he says. Mr Geo. V. Caroy was perfectly at homo ac Tim Mahoney, (ho broken-down young farmer. Thi» other characters wore all fairly represented. Thsy wero ns follows :— The Duke of Munstor "(Lord Lioutenant), Mr Cecil Berylo ; Lord Tomplo (friend of Desmond Ryan), Mr Frank Simmoua ; Hou. Dosmond Kyan (heir to tho Duko of Muueter), Mr Boy Gronfell; Calloghan (a f»rmer), Mr Arthur "White; Gerald Mc- Almont (a doctor), Mr Alfred Beaumont; Martha (housekeopor to Hon. Desmond Kyan), Mies May Hill. At the end of tho firet act tho wholo company was called bo foro the curtain, when the Hon. Dastnoud was complimented by continued hoots aaan evidence of tho appreciation by the audi ence of his pourtrayal of tho villain. " Tho Profligate " will bo ropoatod this ovoning.

The Good Samaritan Nuns and their Magdalene Refuge.

The Recent Bscnpc of an Inmato.

With reference to tho reported sensational oxit from tho Good Samaritan Convent in i'ittstreot, which gave riso to such un pleasant rumours wo (" Sydney News") learn that it is not, as was at iiret tuppoeed, a romantic young nun anxious to cmulatetho example of our fair friond Edith O'Gorman, but an old person by tho name of Mrs Buhl, who, probably finding the dis cipline of the penitentary iv which sho had boon confined a bit too austoro, took French loavo of tho institution and bounded gaily out iuto tho etroot, and ro gainod her doarly loved freodom. On ac count of tho fact of adjoining each other, and being conducted by tho same t-istor hood, tho convent and tho refugo for fallen women aro frequently confounded, and this confusion probably led to tlio mistake in the present instance. Tho asylum eon ductod by tho Good Samaritan nuns, founded by tho lato Archbishop folding, had been in oxistenco for a period of nearly forty years, and wo aro informed tho mine have soldom loss than one hundred unfortunatos under their caro, most of them being of tho abandoned class. Tho woman in question, who is over 50 years of ngo and groy-hoadod, wo loam has been an inmato of tlio institu tion two or throo time.o, always boing admitted on hor own personal applied ' tion. Some six months ago sho went of her own will to tho branch of the institution at Tempo, Cook's River, hut being diesatUfiod thore, askod to bo taken back to tho Pitt-street establishment, which was dono. Although regarded as some what cranky, the old lady gavo do i-igns of discontont, and when eho ?o unceremoniously "bolted" the Sisters were taken by surprise. Poor, homoloas, friondloss creatureH aro daily calling at the institution and im ploring for admission, and tho nunß find it hard to givo a refusal, no mattor how de graded tho applicant. Whilo in the rofugo tho womon are taughtsewing, laundry work, and other domestic employments, and re spectable situations aro obtained whenever possible, aftor tho desired "reformation" is considorod to have been effected. A great deal of laundry v/ork ia dono for tho public, and this, with other sourcos of ro venuo, makes tho institution self-support ing. In tho management of euch an insti tution strict discipline is absolutely neces sary, but the Sisters mnko it their boast that they always endeavour to treat the

" patients " with that kindness and com passion which their misfortuno naturally inspiros.
