geant, Miss Abbott was alike successful
Her acting aud stage bearing were truly
remarkable, Astounding in yivacity and
admiration, while free from awkwafdness
or exaggeration. Her occasional By,
play, too, was excellent; and (rare power

when requisite, an attidue OF perfect

CARNCRos & Dixie. "A crowded
house witnessed the performance, last
evening, Of this celebrated company. The
programme was entirely new, and the on.
lettainment, as a whole, was one Of the
best OF the kind ever witnessed in this
city. The evening opened with spec
lacnlar burlesque entitled "Around the
World in Fifty Minutes" in which the
audience follow the dusky tourists
through the perils and beauties OF an
ocean voyage TO Liverpool, France, Vi
emma, along the Rhine through Scotland,
halting u few moments in ireland,
and finally setting sail again for
America, where their arrival Is
signallzed by all joining in and
singing the Star Spangled Banner
Though the tourists are 'jerked around the
world in almost no time their trip Is
nevertheless Of u remarkably agreeable
character. Every mile Of their way Is
marked by some new witticism told in an
irresistible vein Of humor. Laughable
episodes, stories in which the inspired
tNmborinist loses himself in the lithOgra'
mic mazes OF proiuse flood Of thoughts
that flow too cOpiously for the slow
march Of human language, and Gonse.
Quently jar against each other little in
expression, Irish and German igs, comic
songs, with an oCcasinal, still dreamy
melody, coming in as n sort OF n repose,
Conundrums and puns, all combine in this
excursion. The audience was almost
constantly convulsed with laughter, and
several OF the songs were enchored to the
echo. The moving scenery presented q
good picture OF the ocean, The various
ports filled with shipping; and the large
cities at which the sable tourists were
supposed to halt during their lightning
trip. Following this interesting feature
were many other novel and ingenious in.
novations in minstrelsy. Dances, a"Star
Lecture" songs and various specialties,
concluding with sidespltting farce en-.
titled "The Stage Struck Heroes, or Pri,
vate TheatriCals."

A temperance meeting was held here or
last Wednesday evening. W. NJ. Howes
was elected President, and W. Fitzgerald
Secretary. The meeting was opened with
appropriate religious exercises, after
which Mr.. JEFF. I. Reed was introduced
and spoke very feeIingly for the space of
half an hour. His appeal to the young
men was very earnest and, impressive
Mr.. Reed il a very efficient lecturer, and
Is doing noble work in the temperance
cause. After singing, J. W. Alexander was
called upon, and responded in a very
earnest and able manner. The portrayal
OF his lie experience was truly grand
and impressive, and was enough TO make
the stontest heartQuail and brought tears
to the eyes OF many in the audience. We
have had the pleasure OF hearing Mr.
Alexander often before, but his effort on
this occasion far excelled all his former
efforts. To say that the speech was good
would fall far below expressing
the excellence Of the production
i, had need to be heard tc
be appreciated. Mr.. Alexander is q
young man Of Considerable grit and en-.
ergy and il doing grand work in the
Temperance cause. Forty.two names
were secured to the pledge. A Unior
