ACADEMY OF MusIc.-The very pretty play
entitled "The Wife's Secret" was produced
last night at the Academy to fair audience.
The piece abounds in effective dialogue, and
exacts the closest attention to appreciate its
merit. Mr.. Frederick Robinson enacts the
role of colonel in the Parliamentary service
(what that particular service is we are at loss
to conjecture), and personates that character
with ease and ability.
| Mr.. E. w. Knowles sustains the character
Of Lord Arden, a fugitive cavalier, with a
great deal of cleverness. Mr.. George Ober's
Characterization of Jabez Sneed was an ac-
ceptable piece of acting.
Miss Marion Fiske and Miss Minnie Jack
son were excellent in their respective parts,
and the piece throughout was acceptably rem
dered.
Tonight Quarry Dell will be given.
VARIETIES THEATER. night at this ia
vorite place for our amusement-loving people
there was gathered quite large crowd to en-
joy the eccentric PRESERVATION of Fritz, as
rendered by Mr.. Jos. X. Emmett As on all
previous occasions the performance passed off
without anything to mar the smoothness, and
throughout the piece drew forth unwonted
applause.
ST. CHARLES THEATER The audience which
last night greeted the second appearance of
Miss Katy Mayhem was by no means as large
as we would like to have seen, or as the
tulented little lady deserved. But it may be
accounted for. Miss Mayhem is newcomer,
and comes almost unheralded. Our people,
however, are not slow to recognize true merit,
and to reward it, and it will be but q short
time fore the cold Drury' will present its
old time appearance.
The play (Which is the Wife" which was
presented last evening, is romantic story of
love, double marriage, and death.
Miss Mayhem appeared as AIaddallna Roc
ca, venetian fllagree maker, and her rem
dition of the character-a tender, loving,
simple and faithful little woman, with whom
it "were better not to be at ali than not be
noble, was throughout characterized by a
depth and pathos, and naturalness seldom
witnessed on the stage. In her love, her joy
and her sorrow she carried her audience with
her unto the end.
excellent. The Earnest Cassangale of Henry
Mitchell and the Arden Ullerton of A. H.
Stewart were both capital pieces of acting
Miss Virginia Buchanan sustained the charac-
ter Of Fulvia Dtngerford with that faithful
ness which has always characterized her
acting; and the Lulu Vareton of Miss Susie
Parker was all that could be desired.
A new drama entitled valerie is billed
for an early day. In the meantime, an oppor-
tunity to see (Which is the Wife should not
be lost
The OLD Folks AGAIN.-"Ye old folks"

Preparations for the event are going forward
on grand scale, and there can be no doubt
that it will equal any of the preceding enter
tainments of the Old Folks.
In connection with the Old Folks concert, |

The Sabbath School of the Church, it will be
well to state that on this and tomorrow even
