National Theatre-The Naiad Queen.
This beautiful spectacular drama was put
upon the stage at the National last night in
superior manner. The scenery and appliances
were of splendid execution, while the select
company presented the various novelties which
comprise this ''romance Of the Rhine" in
highly creditable style. Miss Cummens as
Lurline, Queen of the Nymphs, was particu-
larly attractive in appearance and effective in
the exercise of her royal prerogatives, and was
ably supported by Miss Kitty Blanchard, Miss
Ida Wellesley and dozen more beautiful and
charming young ladies of the troupe. Mr..
Walter Treyille as the Fearnaught, leader OF
the mortals, assisted by Mr.. John Marble as
Schnapps, ably and fearlesSly followed the
water nymph to her watery hcme, and sus-
tanned the character of the bewitched and in
fatuated lover with great success. Mr.. Den
ham made a most excellent Amphibio, and ex-
ecuted the orders of his royal mistress to per-
fection. The costumes were elegant, the
music delightful, the amazons warlike, and
the audience well pleased. The spectacle will
be continued the remainder of the week, and
should be seen by all lovers of the beautiful.

WEDDING CELEBRATION.
Twenty Years Of Married Life.

Last night was the twentieth anniversary of
the wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. A.W. Clarvoe,
and a number of their friends determined to
give them a surprise in the shape Of we'd
ding. John, with his usual cunniug, ascer-
tanned the fact, and as good husband, having
no secrets from his wife, informed her of the
proposed visit. The result was that the visit
ors instead of the hosts were surprised. The
proveTbial hospitality of the Ciaryoe mansion
was fairly outdone, and the right royal welcome
extended made the party happy beyond meas
ure. The table was too small to hold the feast
spread, and there were driakables enough to
swim a small-siBed navy. The presents were
as numerous as the guests, and of every cen
ceivable variety. The good joke on the "bcys," /"
however, was that they gave it out as crys-
tai wedding, and made their presents accord
ingly. Probably the next time they have &C.
casion to get up ttsuTprise" they will not fall
into the same error. The affair was a grand
success, and all present will remember with
pride and pleasure their participation in it.
