the minute parts and lesser incidents of the
drama entitled GA Tour Round the World il
Eighty Days" We have sort of dim gen
eral knowledge of the drift of it; know that
the opportunities offered by the play itself fol
brilliant scenic effects have been seized upon
by inspired hands and made subject to the
very grandest efforts and effects of the scene
painters art; and we know that MIR. Bert's
company is all that could be desired This,
and the full knowledge that the play will be
put upon the stage of the Carson Theater in
splendid style are our pleasant assurances.
One can purchase what may well pass for
hbretto at Fox's This is to say he has
among some of his later purchases some
cheap copies of Jules Verne's story from
which this play is adapted. Buy it, read it,
go to the play and be a critic for once in your
life. =. Speaking Of dramaticals, reminds US
to say that Mr.. Titus who lately did us Cor

clever quartette some of the gems of English
opera, expects to come this way early in June
with his new company, ''The Troubadors.

odd and grotesque his taste in music and art;
and above all his capacity for a sort of half
practical, half-playful, and wholly artistic
order of rhyming-of the rerS de Societe' de-

instance, he has lately written short poem,
remotely referring to one branch of his bust
