portunity to witness the very snowy and inter
esting play of The Veteran, and we advise all
who would pass pleasant evening with the
legitimate drama, to secure seats early. 1t dis
plays some of the most elegant costumes ever
seen here and much remarkably fine scenery,
and the characters are very pleasing. Mr.. Le-
clercq sustains the part of Col. Delmar exceed
ingly well. This old soldier belongs to COM
mon type of character founl in works of Eng
fish fiction, of which Thackery's Col. Newcome
is perhaps the best remembered and best lived
example. Mrs Prior as Amineh, shows a good
deal of dramatic power and is decided favor
lite with the audience. Of-au-agan is full of
drollery and rollicking hnmor. The COW case
scene is pretty good example of Arabian JUS
tice, and the scene of the dungeon and the
whiskey bottle is exquisitely funny. Of the
other characters we muse speak at another
time The final tableaux is chef deuure of
startling incident and skillfull blending of col
or and costume. Mr. Mollenhaueis' violin solo,
Sweet spirit hear my prayer" has received a
double encore each night, and in conclusion, it

is being constructed by Mr.. Lee on CONNER
cial street, and will be launched on Thursday.
She is about forty feet long, with a stern some
thing like that of a whale boat. Pipes run
from the deck on either side through the hold
to the bottom of the vessel, and an engine
forces the air through these pipes against the
| water under the stern and propels the craft
By using the pipes on one side or the other the

EIZZLE.

The meeting of the Federal office
holders, held at Cooper institute, on
Tuesday night last, to endorse the ad
m;ui,tration and as an offset to the en-
tlusiaStic andimmense meeting which
greeted Trumbull and SchurZ, was a
complete tizzie. After drumming up
all the scalawags and the riff-raff of
the five points to swell the numbers,
the meeting was exceeding tame and
Iifeless. The committee of two hun
dred. who We're appointed and distrlb-
uted around in the audience, to do the
cheering and yelling, seemed TO not
understand their business and failed
70 act in concert. Whenever the
name of Trumbull, or Schurz, or Gin
cinnati Convention We're named, then
they would make the Old hail ring
with deafGning shouts to the great
ANNOYANCE of the speakers. When
the name Of Tweed. Tammany frauds.
or Grant were mentioned, the cheer
ing committee set like bumps on a log,
although the speakers would stop TO
indicate that hers was where the
cheering ought to come in. The Lib
eral Republicans sill hold high, low,
