AMUSEMENT
III, National rh.atrs-BslviI Ryan.


The excellent company supporting Mr.. Ryan
10 his wonderfully exact and effective persona
ton of that unconsaonable old sot, Eccles, de-
serves mere than ordinary mention. Each is per-
feet and artistically finished in his or her part OF
the play, and when together they form group
as nearly approaching the realities of domestic
intercourse as one can ind upon the stage. The
drama Of 'Oaste" has many points Of interest at
the present time, and suggestive OF certain facts
of the scenes is in England, and the horrors and
woes Of the terrible rebellion in India seem far
off in time. Our own county has afforded in
stances Of family divisions caused by the mar
rage of son or q daughter with one whose birth
and occupation have not been within the charmed
circles Of professional life or the privileges
OF wealth, and the lesson that worth is not
confined to any position is as we'll taught

able in their person atiens-the latter IS Major
Hawtice presenting one OF the most finished, un-
exaggerated and natural characterizations Of the
sanqfroid and hauteur mingled with courage,
generosity and loyalty Of nature, cloaked by an
impossible exterior, ever seen on the stage: He
Sam is exceedingly good. Miss Campbell with q
pleasing exterior possesses one of the sensitive
and impossible natures for whom representation
Of varied strong emotions is spontaneously easy
and natural; and Miss Nina Crolius Is remark
ably yiyacious and pleasing in her rapid and
piQuant changes, her impromptu songs and
dances and her entire spirited role. She would
he Q great acquisition 10 any stage. Miss Edison
as La Marquise proved herself a genuine and
graceful artistic in her uncommonly accurate and
elegant impersonatiGn OF the fastidlous aristo-

We regret to say that this excellent company
gave its closing performance last night
Ford's Opera House-Mr. Rollin Howard
The protean drama of "Bafied," in which Mr..
Howard personates with much dramatic skill
several different characters, meets with approval
and success. The play, together with the intro
ductory female minstrel scene, affords pleasant
advertisement for an evening. Preparations arek

benefit. So far as the stage is concerned there
will be nothing to wish for. 1t only remains for
outside for fine demonstration. They will notI
hesitate in the purchase Of ticket, or in urging
their acGuaintRnces to go and do likewise, for he
is richly deserving Of marked demonstration Of
appreciation.
The sextette Concert at Alexandria.
The Sextette of Washington, Mr.. Remington
Fairlsmb Miss Ida Willard, Miss Sallie Flynn
and Messrs. Morsell, Simpson and Keen gave
concert at Sarepta hall, Alexandria, on Wednes
day night, Mr.. ]. X. Fairlamb presiding at the
pianaforte most appreciative audience, such
as seldom gathers In Alexandria, attended, and
the concert was quite q success. Miss Ida Mil
lard, Mrs. Fairlamb and Mr.. Simpson were called
to repeat BY the enthusiastic applause OF the
sung solo in concert, and there was general ad-
m!ration Of her clear, sweet rendering Of the
DAY is Done" Miss NJ. was long q resident of
Alexandria, and will be yet longer a favorite
there.
The Avenue Theatre.
We advice all who love to see perfection in aero
baltic exercises to go to the Avenue theatre and
see the Faust family. They are certainly deserv-
ing Of all patronage. Louisa Bliss aud Dody
Zanfretta do some excellent dancing and singing.
1t is a study for the military to see Minnie Rain
forth handle the musket. The programme winds
up with lively Can-Can dance.
Comique Summer Garden.
The GOODNESS, airness and cleanliness and pretty
appointments OF the COmiQue Summer Garden
render 1t very attractive resort for all its pa
irons. The performance is one of very amusing
variety, and frst-class. Miss Fanny Davenport
Is among the Vocalists and her rich, full, Guilt
waited voice and choice selections OF songs make
most pleasant feature Of the entertainment. See
advertisement for particulars.
