the 81. Charles last evening, gratifying evidence
Of the increasing popularity OF Miss Alice Kings
berry, the beneficiary Of the evening. The per-
fOimance commenced with the sprightly comic
drama, "Asm0deus, or the Devils Slave" 10
which Miss Alice, in the character OF Carlo the
little devil, was so eminenty pleasing to her audi
ence, that at the fall of the curtain she was en-
Enthusiastically called out before II. The beautiful

ACADEMY OF Music. -EmersoEs benefit drew
70 the Academy last evening, such crowd as we
have not seen there since the first representation
of the " Tale of Encbantmento early last winter.
Every seat was occupied, and many Temsiaed
stauoing IN the aisles throughout the entertain
ment. Emerson was never in better hum0r In his
lie. and it old seem that the laughter provoked
by h.s Old Clo' Dealer y would never suhslde.
His comic banjo duett with Parker, and his az
pearance as Lite Ntu were equally appreciated
b, The asemblage. We are glad that Emerson
received this hatteriDg testimonial. He closes his
engagement TO morrow evening, and win play on
Tuesday night in st. Louis. The " Red Crook. /"
together with arsre variety programme, including
