The PnErinl.

The Pilgrim.
An illustration Of life viii be exhibited
/ in the Assembly Hall this week. The
1 series Of tableauX are very interesting
and artistic. The purpose and tendency
of these tableaux Is to turn a portion OF
these crowds from the paths of the des-
! tTOyeT, and lead them to substantial
/ pleasures that raise no blush upon the
cheek. Men Of mature Bedrs and OF
most highly cultivated intellect, may here
draw lessons Of infinite moment, and
persons Of advanced piety viii find theiI
emotional feelings rekindled and elevat-
ed. The paintings are within the under
standing of children, they must make
upon them deep and permanent moral
impressions. We hope that all our Sab
bath-sch0Ols, and, indeed, all otheI
schools, pubic and priUdte, viii be
enabled 10 visit this great moral enter
tainment- The following card concern
ing this representation declares it to be
decidedly meritOriOus:
ATLANTA, February p, 1871.
Editor Constitution: The panorama OF
the Pilgrim forms no part of the sickly
sensatiOnalism Of the age. As work
of art it is most happily conceived and
executed, and as a vehicle for conveying
religious truth to the mind il is highly
appropriate and effective. The various
stages of Christian life are here depicted
with wonderful accuracy and power, and
the transformation scene, from the dark
''River of Death" to the dazzling splen-
dors of the "City Of God, I" is absolutely
thrilling. No one can witness this
splendidly illustrated allegory without a
more profound and vivid impression Of
the great realities ofreligion.

The Black Crook.
The machinery, stage effects and COS
tunes for this magnificent spectacle are
now on the way and viii be put in place
during this week, when the theater will
le closed to the public. The immense
outlay and expense attending the pro-
ductiOn of this splendid spectacular
drama, viii, we hope, be so fully appre-
ciated by the public that the manager
viii find himself fully reimbursed for
his pains at the close of the week to be
devoted to it. The New Orleans Times
speaks Of its presentation in that city as
follows; standing room was at pre-
MUM at the Academy last night before
the curtain rose on the first scene Of the |
spectacular Black Crook, produced after
weeks OF elaborate preparation, and with |
company of artists brought from New /
York expressly for this occasion. The
promises which the management has /
been issuing touching the splendor of ]
this production have not been one iota
beyond what has proved to be a real
lZatiOn, and We may safely chronicle
the event as one of the noted triumnhs
Of the season. Among the prominent
features are the grand ballet, led by the
peerless BOnfanti, and Mile. Ida De-
We're, all under the direction of Signor
Tito Cellini, and the Nelson family, in
their wonderful acts of classical gymna-
sium. The particular triumph of the
piece is in the scenic displays which ev-
ldence the most marked of NJ. Strauss's I
efforts in this line, and reflect infinite
credit on the artists and the manage
ment. The GrottO of the Golden Sta
lactites is splendid spectacle, but
beautiful as it Is, it is but slight cir
cumstance compared to the dazzling
scene, which closes the I
play. In this scene Mr.. Strauss has
achieved a noteworthy triumph, and as
by its splendor Of appointments it baf-

must be seen TO gain an idea Of its mag
