AMUsEMENTs.-Ndtiondl 7aed.er.-The first
Performance here OF Byron's pleasing comedy
"Our Boys" delighted large and fashion
able audience last evening. Many dis
tipguished people were present. The Presi-
dent and family occupied a private box.
Dickens in his books exceiled In investing
the OLDEST and most laughable OF characters
with something noble, tender or pitiable
which attracted warm sympathy and in
terest. Soft is with the dramatic portraitures
OF Owens, and in "Perkiyn Middlewick" he
has fine chance for the display OF some of
his most artistic touches. The hearty
laughter OF the audience at the vulgarity and
ignorance of the retired butter merchant in
the first act, is followed by tears of sympathy
with him in the second act. The scene be-
tween him and his son, is the one of the best
In which Owens has ever appeared. 1t shows
how near the deepest pathos is to true
humor. The support was fair Mr.. Hanil-
ton was particularly good as Charles Middle
wick. Mrs. GelrnOn the same as the maiden
sister. Miss Minette Thompson. who made
her successful debut in this ity some months
ago, shows the effects of her stage training
since, In greater ease and a better manage
ment OF her voice. She was sprightly poor
cousin; but Miss Mack was hardly up 70 her
part as the heiress. If the "valet" mas any
words assigned him which are intended for
the audience. he would do well to "speak
up" 'Our Boys" again tonight. 1t is
pleasant comedy, and not long enough to
ma Ike IL tireSOme.

ed last evening by Bryant's Minstrels was
both large and select, and the performance
WIS received tnrOugnout with great relish.
The programme was well arranged. and be-
gan with the "Soiree D'Ethiope," Lew Ben

were given with all the desired gusto.

zionist, will deliver some of his select read
1ngs from Shakespeare, Dickens, and other

in nearly every disaster where there was loss
OF life the vessel had an odd letter in It's
name, and whenever seven letters were used
the disaster seems to have been most unusu-
ally dire and appalling. The fate OF the
President, the Princeton, and OF the two Pa
cities Zone of the Collins line and the other on

all steamship builders and owners be eau
tious how they name their vessels before
launching them on the deep. II they are
wise they Will select the number OF letters OF
some steamship that has been worn out in
