The name of the Varieties is charm to on
theater-g going people-and charm which in
creases in attraction with each sueceedin!
season. Among the consultations which tn
war has left to us, not the least is that we still
remain in possession of this favorite and in
| dispensable place Of amusement If it had
like other institutions, come to an untirnel,
end, we should have had another to add to tn
list Eof our calamities. Happily the Yarie

nings, and to aid in preserving among us
love of that noblest of entertaiments--th
, drama. Our sincere hope is that this genera
: ton, at least, may not witness any diminutio1
f of its popularity and usefulness but of sucI
aresult there is SINAI prospect. So, farfsom de

OPENING NIeHr OF THE ACADEMY C1sous.-
The 1ong-talEed Of equestrian troupe Of Don
Jose Ghiarini, from the Imperial circus of
Mexico. the Grand Circo of Havana, and the
Circo Real, Of Madrid, has at length arrived
in the city, and We suppose may count to-
night upon the Arabian Knights Entertain
ment, which friend BidweI has been .pronlis-.
ing, as q fixed fact. Fifty performers is the
number Of artists whose. names are. down on
the passenger list Of the Evening Star, a fact
which embaFrasses us somewhat, as we wish
to witness all of the excitement and yet will
hardly be able to sit up all night to see it to
the end. Glancing, too over the list of won
.derful performers, trained animals andothef
Sights and mysteries which are to be exhibited
by means Of tsspatent sqnlights, y our embar-
rassment painfully increases and we feel, a
sense Of timidity, at experieneing so many suy-
plises, even Of a pleasant nature. However,
a visit yesterday to the Academy, and the
sight Of The comfortable seats, has ,reassured
us, not to speak Of the artificial zephyrs
which, to the extent Of 10000 feet a minute,
are to play through the building by means Of
Demphilrs windmill In short, Ne will be on
hand to witness the revelations Of the Spanish
ring, and we expect to- see the house, in spite
of weather. mere+crowded than even at the
opening of last year. icy gd9 e7t5l
