This admirabte troupe of amateur performers
gave one of their choice entertainments in this vii
inee on Tuesday night, of last week. Though the
audience was not large, those present appreciated
keenly the huge mirth and sidc-splitting humor of
the Varieties. The renowned pianist JOS HART
DEScK, captivated the entire crowd by his wonder
full performances the RAwLs brothers were
scarcely behind in their mode of handling violin,
while SCARBOROUGH was unapproachable in his de-
neation of the negro character, nor less famous as
q Aat-footed, thick-lipped orator of the African
persuasion, defending the rights of the fair sex.
MURPHY as the genuine essence ofthe Freedmans
Bureau frequently brought down the house; and tho
TR1pp was so stranger in the city, he seemed per-
fectly at home in rendering some Of the very best
songs we ever heard. Lastly, and least in corpo-
rosity but whole team in dancing, was HEisE,
who s.srirped The light fantastic" to the satisfaction
of all present In word, the audience was high
ly grati6ed, and gave evidence of their apprecia-
ton by prolonged and rapturous applause.
