1HE VARIETIES 1HEATEB.-AnOthor large
and fashionable audience assembled at this
theater last evening to witness MI: Raymond's
performance of Col Mulberry Sellers, and
from the frequent and hearty bursts Of laugh.
ter and applause We are satisfied the enter.
tainment was truly enjoyed. The buoyancy
and vigor of Mr.. Rsymond's humor is almost
magnetic; never overstepping the limits of
propriety or reason, he manages to infuse
so much life and nature into the part that bis
auditors are not left the time to compare the
semblance with the reality before its full
force strikes them and they yield to its in
fuence.
Probably his best scene is the fourth act
where he assumes 40 successfully the drunken
man, conscious of his condition and annoyed
by its consequences; scenes like this afford
the most effective temptation for actors to
exaggerate and they generally yield, but Mr.
Raymond is careful to keep himself within
the bounds of fidelity to nature. and presents
SO unusual and realistic . representation that
he never fails to obtain the compliment of Q
recall upon his exit. IF
The scenic effect of the play is worthy Of
the great ability and talent Of the scenic artist
of the theater, and is q powerful aid to the
success of the play.
"Col. Sellers" will be pleased to greet his
friends this evening, and will lay before them
scheme which he heartily indorses, assured
that There's millions in it."
The ST. CHA.1.1s THEArER Prof Peppers
play Of The Aichemist's Daughter is we'll
worth seeing; it y filled with beautiful and
effective scientific illusions, and must COM
msnd the attention and admiration of the
audience. The acting of the company, too,
is very excellent, and entities them to warm
commentator. We bespeak visit to this
house during the run of the play.
TIE ACADEMY OF Mus1c.-It is evident
that neither the chill blast of norther, nor
the unpleasant drippings of rainy sky can
keep away o full house from those maitres,

Last night, as before, the prompter's bell
tinkled TO crowded parquette, thronged
dress circle and packed gallery.
The genial and polite Fred. Mauberet in
the box office, and the courteous Mr. ]. A.
Roberts at the gate. had their hands full at.
tending to the wants of the stream of patrons
seeking entrance.
From the last foot of the orchestral horn to
the slow sinking of the curtain waves of
laughter rippled around tbs auditorium, like
the tiny pillows of wind kissed ocean.
In the songs and sketches Messrs. Harrigan
and Hart were most entertaining and,
sharing the horors, came the boys of the
gallant Sixty Ninth.
To-day will be given q grand matinee, and
those who desire seats should 60 early.
GLOBE THEArER A very enjoyable per-
the new stars being fully up to the standard
of excellence attained by the old favorites.
Tonight another bill replete with fun will be
offered, and doubtless the Globe will, as usuAl,
be crowded to its utmost capacity.
The FRENCH COMEDY COMPANY. Nine.
Juliette Clarence appeared for the second
time last night at the Opera House, before a
large and fashionable audience. "Frou-
Frou" was chosen for this occasion, and
Nine. Clarence repeated the success of Sun
day night. She was eminently and entirely
successful throughout the various phases OF
this difficult character. Her dying scene in
the last act was most delicate, forcible and
realistic bit of acting, and as different from
the death scene of Marguerite Chautier ss
the women ought to be whose types their
characters portray. Mr.. Dalbert, as the hus-
band of the pretty, frivolous Frou- Frou, sus-
tanned the excellent impression he had already
made and gave promise of still greater things
in the future.
Mime. Lormiani is steadily growing in pub
lie estimation, and Mr.. Veniat has already
won high place in the consideration of the
theater- going public lie Gendre de Mr.
Poirier will be played to night by this excel
lent company, and Nos In,imes" will be re-
peated for the matinee on Saturday.
On Tuesday next Mr. Jaeger, an excellent
artist and most deserving member of this
com pany, will receive benefit. LA Boule
has been chosen for the occasion, aud it is to
be hoped he will have large house. Mme
Clarence appears on that evening in LES
Brebis de Panurge," and all the company
will take part in the representation.
A gentleman, in the lobby of the theater,
last night said there are not many companies
like that out Of Paris. and the public are evil
IDENTIFY of the same impression-they are
taking full advantage of their presence here
ST. PArRrCKs FAIR The weather seemed to
have q very beneficial effect upon the pleas
ure-seekers last night, for larger than any
night yet was the crowd at St. Pstricks Hail.
The ladies who preside over the various tables
have good cause to congratulate themselves
upon the success they have met with so far,
and are greatly encouraged to renew their ex-
ertions to please their many friends whom
they expect to entertain the balance of the
week.

The St. TheresAs table, presided over by
the charming ladies, Mrs. J. Domingo, Mrs.
Finnegau, Miss Gibney and Mrs. Hogan, was

were taxed to meet tho constant demand for
