The beautiful pastoral drama of Dora
will be presented again at the Varieties this
evening. Miss Orion improves on every
representation, and she evinces tender
ness aud pathos in the roll of Dora, which
those who have had occasion to heartily ad.
mlre her in comedy hardly considered her
capable of. Mr.. Ryer as Farmer Allen, cor
rectly personates the man with great
heart, strong prejudices, uncomfortable
passions and perfect integrity. 1t is a
difficult character, but he is proving himself
equsl to the occasion. Mr., Floyd's Luke
Bloomfield, and Mr.. sheridan's william
Allen are. good presentations. The scenery
in this play is superior, Go by all means

that an audience can witness night after
night and discover new beauties in. "Un.
dine" is the leading spirit of the play, well
sustained by Jennie Engel. But there is
more fun in the Idex of Mrs. Oates, merry
nymph, indeed, than in all the rest of the
piece. The incidents of the play keep up
the interest from the beginning to the end.

There is this advantage about the Mu-
scum, that the admission fee is small and
the doors are open at any time in the day
or evening. The twin girls, sometimes
called the two-headed girl, sing prettily and
converse freely, The smallest woman in
the world, unlike Others Of her sex, makes
no secret about her age. The new custom
OF smoking under water, where the odor of
the meerschaum is offensive to nobody,
must be admired especially by those who
do not smoke. The Circasian Beauty, with
the euphonious name of Salamma Agga, is
there. So likewise is Professor Greiner,
the Bohemian glass blower. In addition
may be seen the animals in the meuagerie,
the happy family of quadrupeds, and Gu
riosities from all parts of the world.
