John, Collins has been kindly received in
Omaha, where he opened on September 20, as
will be seen by the following notice from the
Omaha Herald of September 21:-''John
Collins made his first appearance last evening
before one of the largest houses of the sea-
son. The pieces selected for the occasion
were the elegant comedy of Tie Irish AnabdS-
SadOr and the very laughable farce of Ills Last
Legs, two productions which have ever been
almost exclusively identified with him both
in Europe and America, his extraordinary
humor and skilful delineation of Irish pecu-
liarity being peculiarly adapted to this style
of pieces. Mr. Collins appearance on the
stage is elegant and gentlemanly, his singing
is really fine, his voice is melodious the style
in which he sang the Bold Soldier Boy has,
we think, never been equalled, and was rap
turously eHc0red. In the afterpiece, Mr.. Col
Inns kept the audience in a perfect roar of
laughter. His song Of Widow Machree is
simply immense. The characters were well
sustained by the excellent company"
CONDITION OF CHARLOTTE CUsHMAN.
correspondent writing about Charlotte Gu h
man, says:-"After a few weeks at Malvern
she went to Edinburgh to have an operation
one of the most hopeless in surgery-per
formed by Sir James Simpson, and she now
lies at the point of death, quite given up by
her nearest friends, and those who should be
the best judges of her condition. 1t may be
that her strong constitution will carry her
through, but no one seems to entertain the
least hope, and the news of her death may
have already reached YOU" To which Lon
| don doctor adds that the complaint was an in
| durated gland, not Immediately dangerous;
| that its eXtirpation was one of the simplest
| and safest of operations and that the only
| subsequent danger was from erysipelas, which,
| by its own limitation, must have resulted,
long before this, either in death or recovery,
and we have consequently reason to believe
| that she is now convalescent

Marigny, Paris, has been produced. 1t is a
