like personation OF "Saly Scraggs," something
almost unprecedented in these parts, as nearly
every actress who undertakes this part seems to CON
possible. 1t is due to Mrs Walcot to say that her
performance was not only intrnsically better, but
very much more amusing, than we are accustomed
to see in the representations of this heroine In this
farce Mr.. c. NJ Bradshaw, the new second comedian
gave good piece Of Character-acting as "COunt
Glorieux,' the French fortune hunter This gentle
man also gave a little sketch Of drunken sailor in
the drama of DUty, which was good in its way and
seemed to indicate that he has versatility and
ability.
There seems to be prospect that during the present
season there will be a succession OF good dramatic
performances at our principal theatres. From pre-
sent appearances the public are satated with the
leg business and buresque, ana the taste is ncnng
again to the legitimate. If this be really so, there
will be cause for rejoicing, and if the managers lind
it difficult to keep supply of novelties, they will pro-
baby do as well, if not better by reviyng, from
time to tme old pieces that have been shelved for
long time that they VIII be as good as to the
majority OF play-gocrs There are a number of good
dramas that contain all the elements of popularity
that almost unknown to the present generation,
which are far more worthy Of production than the
majority OF the new pieces that are brought out
from season to season. An occasional revival OF
some Of these would be interesting to new as well as
old lovers OF the drama.

commence their second week this evening. Several
new features will be introduced and the perform

Ascertaining that Colonel Forney was in town, the

what had already been done to obtain it, requested

colonel might have had it exclusive, both for the

with commendable dsinterestedness and zeal for

that the Associated Press should have a copy. The

the thing all to himself, with a sort of a
protective tarin on it, filed it at the
telegraph Office early in the evening, and gave him

Some men who marry are unfortunate in obtaining
troublesome mother-n-law. It does not often hap

to be the luck of President Grant. He might not
have been as wise man if he had never met any OF
the Dents with the exception, OF course, of his
wife, but he would certainly have been happier
one. First of all, General Dent made himself OBJ

the fact that when schooboy had learned the pro-
bems In geometry he was as wise as his master and
didn't care twopence for him, but in the study OF
the classics there was always something which the
preceptor could give, and that his government OF the
