WooD's THEATER-Miss Maggie MITCHELL
The seats at Woods were insufficient to ac-
commodate all who witnessed the play of the
Cricket at Miss Mitchelps benefit last night.
"Fanchon" by "Miss Maggie is admirable.
The artless simplicity of the poor girl is per-
fecy, and only exceeded by the noble qualities
of head and heart which, speaking from q
pair of sparkling black eyes and blooming
Iuddy counteuance, completely win the
heart of one after another of the members of
the proud, aristocratic and wealthy family of
Barbesnd. There are none of the unnatural
assumed airs of the coquette, but the sterling
qualities of female loveliness. The play con-
tains nothing which could offend the most
scrupulous taste, but is rather the representa-
ton of phases in human life which have
veritable existence and which, being brought
out in bold relief, convey many profitable les
sons to the beholder.
NATIONAL THRATER-Dan Rice.-The Am
pbitheater continues to attract large sudien-
ces nightly. The entertainments are diver
sihed, go as to produce the best display of
tie artistic equestrians and gymnasts. The
performance of the wonderful horse Excel
sier" excites admiration and surprise. No
living man has ever acquired so great con-
tro over q steed as that evinced at the Ma
tional between Dan Rice and Excelsior"
PsYcHoMANTHEUM-Pro Professor Anderson.-
The engagement of this ambidextrous pres
tigiator, coDjurOr, juggler, magician, puis-
SAINT psychomanthist, or whatever he may be
called, terminates this evening. This after
noon be will dispose of magic gifts. So far,
the best trick, if trick it is, is the so. called
bio dynamic feat of Anderson, jr. The Pro-
fessoI's second sight performance is not
equal to Professor Heller's The genius dis.
played by Miss Anderson in spelling words,
with an equal proficiency, backward as we'll
as forward, is indeed a gift the lady may
we'll feel proud of. The engagement has
been a success. This is the most desir-
abe feature TO the performers.
SMITH & NIxoNs HALL Campbell MIN
stTelS This decidedly recherche troupe, being
the original Campbells, will make their first
| appearance this season on Monday night
next, at Smith & Nixon's Hall. These artists
are well known to the public, and their
chaste and fashionable entertainments have
been received here, as we'll as elsewhere, with
| the greatest applause. The troupe numbers
| sixteen performers, among whom are L. j
Huntley, Bishop, Wambold, Gustave Bidouz
and others.
| SOMETHING RARE.-0n Monday next will
be opened in Union Hall, corner of Vine aud
LoDgworth streets, large collection of beau
tiful paintings, of Biblical and historical in
terest. We have seen highly complimentary
notices of these paintings from the Louisville
Journal ard other papers, and we doubt no
they are richly worth seeing and studying
The propIietors propose, we believe, to max
liberal arrangements with schools to visi
the exhibition.
