NIsLo's AND THE NEW BuRLErrA-A full house
last night, which was the second of this novelty
shows that it is likely to be good hit It surel,
should be SO, for it contains immensely o.
amusement. Every sentence has its pun, each in.

Gracioso, Princess Affair, her naughty daughter
the King of the Golden Mines, and several othe,
royal suffers, and the Yellow Dwarf.
The latter being under the power Of the spells q

princess or forfeit his life. The second scene il
act the first is gorgeous representation of the in
terror of the palace of Queen Gracioso, where the
royal suitors present their formal addresses to Ali
fair miss Taylor. Shah Loojah Ben Ali, and all

almost equally notable kind.
1t is in seeing the highly ludlcrous action, ant
