NATIONAL THEATER.-The audience at the
National last evening was, We understand
fair but not large. AS we were not present
we are unable 70 speak, from personal knowl-
edge of the performance, which is mentioned
ns having been generally good. Jane Coo nbs
repeats the part of "Lady Evolne Amyott'
in the WJfe's Secret this evening" the fen
rade sisters dance, and the farce Of the Be
nioia Boy concludes the entertainment
Pretty Kiitie Fyffe, as the page in the play,
produced decidedly favorable impression
P1KE's A-HoUsE.--The new American
play, by Mrs. Bateman, of Erdngeline founded
upon Longfellows familiar, but heavy and
uninteresting poem, was presented last night
TO the hdbitles of the Opera-house with Kate
Batemnn as the heroine. Wedid not see the
play, but hear that il was excellently put
upon the stage and creditably rendered,
though the poem is certainly an unfortunate
groundwork for an acting drama. Epan0e-
line will be repeated this evening for the
last time, and those who desire to witness it
should not neglect the final opportunity to
do so.
WooD's THEATER.-The Siegrist and Zau-
fTett troupe are really meritorious, and re-
garded, by the way, MS equal to the world
renowned Rsvels. They are certainly artists
in their line, and should be literally encour-
aged. The dancing is very good, and several
Of the young women decidedly pretty. They
present an attractive programme tonight
SMITH NIxoNs HALL-Thiodon's Mu-
scum of Art is still on exhibition at Smith &
Ni1on's, and the mechanical and scenic
effects are well produced, and worth g visit.
The Museum will be visible again to night.
MECHANICS FAIR Gibson's Displdy.-J.
B. & 7. Gibson exhibit a fine display of
plumbers and brass-founders' work, in
Room No. 4, embracing some of the best
specimens in this line we ever saw. Among
these we would call attention to a fine
bathing-tub, linen with tinned-copper, which
is much more durable than the ordinary
| style, lined with tin, and much pleasanter to
| be in contact with than the zinc-lined ones
Messrs. Gibson have, also, fine assortment
of pumps, among which are some made af-

workmanship, and unusually neat and taste

brass, the piston of brass, with metal valve,
and the lower valve of leather. 1t is made

desired, and is adapted for either lifting OF

pump, for eleyating hot or cold water, or
any other liquid, will find this one admira-

Gibson keep an assortment on hand of vari-
Gus styles and sizes to suit all purposes.
The rest of their display presents no Pc
culiar features and is noticeable only for its
fine workmanship and beautiful finish, al
though splendid white marble wash-stand
and some wash-bowls which are included in
it, are well deserving careful inspection
for the graceful and artistic beauty of their

We took a walk the other day, through
Messrs. Gibson's establishment, which is or
