Congressional Theatricals.
The Baltimore American gets off the
following "good hit" at the porforman-
ces which have been enacted for some
time past, in the two Houses Of Congress;
For the better accommodation of the
large and delighted audiences with
which they have up to this time been
honOred, the Congressional Society of
FarccUs have consented to give two
performances daily in different apart
Iments-one in the Senate and the 9th
er in the Houses Of representatives,
The number Of performers being be-
tween three and four hundred, some
idea may be formed of the grandeur Of
the spectaclcs prJsontedj and, although
the actors have so far received not
one cent for their arduous exertions,
the Society take pleasure in assuring
the public that the eventual actual cost
of each farce will be not less than
from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t cannot be
doubted, therefore, that the liberality
of the management of the "NatiOnal
Varieties" will be on a scale cOmmen-
surate with the magnificent worthless
ness Of their exhibitions
The drama which has met with such
signal success in the House is an i'm.
