"Of Cinderella and her sli

"Of Cinderella and her slipper;
How her two sisters used to chide and beat her:
And how fairy found her al alone
And how she took compassion on her grief,
And brought the magic art to her relief
this was the subject of the grand "Spectac Ular
Drama" for whose gorgeous presentation tons on
tons and car loads of freight and lovely women
were hurried into town on Monday last. 1t was
to be the Nihlo Garden BLACK Crook without

Swan Hamlet without the Ham, a
Forty Thieves" with all the thieves. The first
course in the entertainment was the 'Persecuted
Dutchman." He has been here before. He has
been at times fearfully and wonderfully persecut-

is gradually concentrated till at last the curtain
falls amid rapiurous applause from two twilight
carrier boys ia the gallery admitted on dead
heads. Come again, sweet Cinderella, sweet

OTHER sHOw>.-CARLETON.
On Saturday evening VIII Carleton at last de-
livered his lecture, the Golden Horse" To
large audience. We confess to a slight disap-

to doggerel, but measured by Prof. Swing, sy-
TEN Of measuring art. ''what idea does one gain
or what emotion, are raised in ones hrca-. hy

measurement would bc the answer. Carleton l.
good reader, and hi, ''ccturc" was full Of hu-

truth presented IN . novel and entertaining
manner.
