"Faustus" The story on which the entertainment

performance was the variety business which was
woven into the play. This part of the work was
well done, and the entertainment glided from the
dramatic mysticism OF the German Original to
the clever breakdown or the wldeawake Yankee
children with quite unusual smo0thness Great

THE COMET IN HER GLORY.

A Beautiful Exhibition OF the Phenom-
enon Last Night-ThO usands of Star
Gazers.
Not since her debut before mortal eyes has our
celestial lady visitor appeared in such majesty Or
attracted such universal curiosity and admira-
ton as she did last evening. The atmosphere
was clear, the sky comparatively cloudless, and
from nine O'Clock until after midnight the view
afforded was one that will long be remembered
by all who saw the heavenly phenomenon.
Since the publication OF our last description the
ORB has undergone remarkable change, 1t seems to
rest nearer 20 the hor,sOn while as luminous APP
pendage sweeps grandly upwards towards the zen
18th. Longer, brighter. more distinct than beiore,
1t appears TO be hourly approaching the degree OF
perfection and beauty that has been predicted for
it by the astronomers OF the country. Thousands
last night gazed upon the wonderful spectacle with
feelings OF awe. HousetOps, the parks, the water
front, the 1erryboats-every spot from which an I'M
broken observation could be had-were thr0nged,
and, though there might have been here and there
an exhibition OF levity, the vast majority yielded
to the solemn Impressions born OF the hour, and
speculated gravely upon the possible results OF
these strange midnight visits.
