Of Thursday morning we were misled in
stating that Mr.. Bishops benefit would
be that evening. In some respects we
regret that ii was not, for there was
rather q better house than there was
last night, Buckstone's charmingly mis-
chievcuS comediette, 1.-THE Pet Of
the PetticoAts," frequently suggested
itself as one Of the pieces in which the
Chapman sisters would excel, by proper
study and close attention to the text
The performance last night gave only a
sketch Of the play but it was sufficient
to show the real merits Of the piece,
and TO convince any intelligent auditory
Of the latent, but not yet fairly developed
talent Of these charming girls The
after-piece, Aladdin" was cleverly
done, and the audience, more apprecia-
tive than numerous, gave frequent man
ifestAtionS OF satisfaction. Recurring to
the first piece, 10y Buckstone,) we re-

THE LEGITIMATE DRAMA.

troupe Of thorough going artists in the
theatrical line. Ii is a pleasure for our

were appreciated. Laura keene's company
ia composed of individuals who respect
themselves aud their profession, and IN 80
doing command both public and private
esteem. Rarely is ii seen in the west on
any stage where four or FIVE first class actors
from the east are on in the same piece. The
accessories were all nicely arranged, every
detail attended to, no gags, no sticks, and
as 3 nsturs! consequence, Our American
Cousin" last night was put on in manner
10 diasrm criticism. Space will not permit us
to enter into the details of the play, or to
/ speak Of the many pieces of fine acting,
which were apparent. The audience were
sym pathetic and quick TO catch point
whether it was the homely heroism OF Asa
/ or the touching passages by Mary Meredith
| or the sssinine conumdrums of Dundreary
The drama pure aud indebted is grea
educator, and it is under the influence O
such o STEERING Company AS this that it accom-
/ pishes its mission. From these scenes o
mimice life we pass out to see its counterpart
in every day life, and avoid evil by emulat
/ ing virtue. We trust we shall again be +.
vored By a call from the Queen of Comedy
and her talented supporters.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.

All women know that il is beauty, rather than
genius, which oil generations of men have wor-
shipped in the sex. Can ii be wondered at, then,
should be directed TO the means of devel oping
and preserving that beauty Women know, too,
that when men speak of the intellect of women,
they speak critically, tamely, ooolly, but when
they come to speak of the charms of beautiful
woman, their language and their eyes kindle
with au enthusiasm which shows them to be pro-
fOundly, If not, indeed, rdieously in earnest. 1t
is part OF the natural sagacIty of women to per
ceive all this, and therefore employ every allow
able art to become the goddess of that alteration.
Preach to the contrary, We may, against the
arts employed by women for enhancing their
beauty, there still stonds the eternal fact, that
the world does not prefer the society of an ugly
woman of genius to that of beauty of less in
telleotual acquirements- The world has yet al
lowed no higher mission to women than to be
beautiful, and il would seem that the ladies of
the persent age are carrying this idea of the
world to greater extremes than ever, for allwo-
men now to whom nature has denied tAlsmanic
power of beauty supply the deficiency 10y the use
of a most beautiful toilet article, known as the
"Bloom of Youth, which has been lately intro
duced into this country by GEORGE W. LAIRD,
delicate beautifer, which smooths out all linden
tations, burrows, scars, removing tan, freckles,
and discolorations from the skin, leaving the
complexion clear, brilliant, and beautiful, the
skin soft and smooth. With the assistance of
this new American trick of Lady's toilet, female
beauty is destined to play larger par: in the
admiration of men and the ambition of women
than all the arts employed since her creation.
Prof. O. F. Chandler, Chemist to the Metropoli-
tan Board of Health, has recently prepared a
chemical analysis of this delightful toilet prep
aration, and reported that the "Bloom of Youth"
was harmless, containing nothing injurious to
the health Ladies need have no fear of using
this invaluable toilet acquisition.
