Amusements, &c.

NATIONAL THEATER.-There was very good
audience at the National Theater la last eye1ng
Mr.. and Mrs. Florence in their Well-knowG roles,
it is hardly necessary to say that everybody
present was pleased. Mr.. Florence's s'Bardwell
Slote" is among the best modern comedy Char
acterS on the stage. His acting is thorough and
the humor genuine. Mrs. Florence as Mrs. Gen
Giifory has made as much of theatrical crea
ton OF that character as her husband has OF the
Hon. slote. Her wardrobe Is gorgeous. The
support is very strong, and Libby Dear does
eXcellently. The play will run for a week, and
doubtless draw crowded houses.
FORD'S OPERA HOUSE.-A very large audience
was delighted last evening at the first perform
ance In this city OF ''Our German SENATOR" MI.
dialect artist. His huinor is quiet and he does
not oyerdO his part. The comedy is well con-
structed, the dialogues sharp and witty, and the
support OF Mr. Williams worthy OF himself and
the play, which has many very laughable situa-
tons Altogether, the performance is a very
satisfactory one: Comparisons have been drawn
between this piece and the 'sMighty Dollar"
now running at the National but they are not
much alike. though both are good in their way.
THEATER COMIQUE.-The crowd of visitors to
the fair can find a first class variety entertain
ment at the Comique every evening this week.
