MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES.

That felicitous, cOnnubial loving scamp, "Barbe

recognition she has received and the proud title she
has won Of 1.-THE accomplished tragic queen of the
American stage" The great tragedienne is daily
growing in popularity and the only regret we have
Is that the stage is not favored with more ladies' of
the same stamp. She is ably supported by the ad-
mirable stock company Of the Broadway, and the
greatest care and attention have been bestowed upon
the mounting Of the piece while the historical cor
rectness Of the costumes defes criticism.
''rhe longer ne runs the stronger he grows.r This
expression is made to 'Humpty Dumpty" at the
Olympic who has reached his two hundred and
