charming singing OF mrs. james n.
Oates as "Idex." This little lady is pos
sessed of beautifully modulated soprano
voice, which she has at ell times COM
pletely under command, and in her sing
ing of the popular ballad, "Good-sy,
sweetheart" she touches every note OF
the gamut and proves herself mistress of
them all. Her cadences are gracefully
given, and she twills like lark. Mrs.
Oates also sings each evening in bright,
glitteriug armor, II love the military"
aud is always sncored. Miss Jennie
Engel appears as Undine," and renders
the character in fine style, and sings the
incidental music with good effect,
and never fails to elicit enthusiastic
applause. In the third act Mile Tur-
nour, the Queen of the Air, appears and
executes several feats on the flying
trapeze. She is followed by the Miaco
Brothers in their daring Velantc en-
Aria, which surpasses anything ever
seen in this city. The spectacle will be
repeated this evening.

TIE GAYErIEs.-There was another
very large attendance at the Gayeties
Theater, on jefferson street, and the es-
Enlistment ia becoming decidedly pop
ular with the lovers of variety entertain
ments. Mile Barana, Miss Lizzie Walker,
Miss Augusta Lamereaux and Miss Mollie
Hepburn are all graceful danseuses, and
their terpsichorean movements are
nightly greeted with rapturous plaudits;
while Henrietta, in her "Big Sun Flower"
is always certain to bring down the house.
As a jiggist Henrietta is success, and
she is general favorits with the habitues
of the Gayeties. Miss Lille Beckett is
a charming vocalist, and her singing Ia
Lingard aud Not for Joe" is always
rapturously encored. The same remark
applies to Miss Marie Roscelle in her
"Sprigs of Erin" Harry Robinson and
his mechanical donkey are nightly re-
ceived with shouts of laughter, while the
burnt-corkisms of Prendergast, Willis
and Manning are most amusing, and ex-
cite the risibles in no ordinary degree.
A capital bill for this evening.

TIE vARIETIEs.-This popular place
of amusement was well filled last even
ing, notwithstanding the many attractions
elsewhere. Miss Frances charmed all
with her splendid dancing. Miss M. B.
Clifford executed "La Zingarela" and the
"Madvalina with much grace and pre-
cision. Miss Leslie in her "Grecian Ma
zourka," and Miss Lizzie Janette in LA
Sylphide," both were received with loud
plaudits. Little Charley Gardner sung
any father sold charcoal" in capital
style and amid loud applause. The en-
tertainment was pleasingly diversified
with the eecentricities in black cork Of
Gardner, ST., johnson and Berry, and
closed with Mr.. W. NJ Pauls melo-drama
of the Island Monkey, with all the COM
pany in the cast. A capital programme
is provided for tonight.
