AN MIGHT.

AN ARABIAN NIGHT.
This ludicrOus and fun provoking
comedy was repeated at Leubrie's
theater last night to a fair audience,
and good humOr ruled from first to
last. The piece is well acted through
out, and it is so full of fun that the
most stolid would be provoked to hi
larity. As a consequence, the audi
ence last night was merry and laughed
immOderately. The old mother-in-
law was as exasperating and cold
blooded a character as could well be
imagined, the cannon ball tosser
looked and acted in very ludicrous
manner, the Rose of Yucatan was as
wild as an untamed young mustang,
Mrs. Thorne as docile and charming as
snice young niece ought to be,and Mr..
Thorne acted the benefactor, uncle
nd devoted, but mother-in.law op-
PRESSED husband, very delightfully."-.
1heplay will be repeated tonight,
:rd a big matinee is anticipated to-
morrow.

THE wILHELMJ CONCERT.
rare musical treat was given those

4 ikc. there can be no doubt, but
tt .i2scked sweetness somewhere is
EN- d. true. He was followed by
NJ rie %alvotti, who has been pleas
aptly remembered since her last visit
here, some three years ago, and who
did wonders toward restoring the
equilibrium of the audience after
Herr Vogrich's gallant charge. In
response to an encore, she returned
aud sang Home, Sweet Home, in a
way that delighted the audience and
smoothed the path for the great vio-
linist. Herr Aug. Wilhelmj proved
to be as remarkable as the spelling of
his name would indicate, He is of a
fine physique, tall and well proper
toned, his face free from beard and
overlooking with expression, and is
apparently about thirty-6ve years Of
age. His appearance upon the stage
was greeted with a round Of applause,
aud for a quarter of an hour he held
the audience spell bound with a con-
certo from Paganini. Returning
in answer to an encore, he filled his
beloved violin with the air Sewanee
River, and poured its liquid melody
into the ears Of his hearers. During
the course of the evening he also en-
chanted the audience with a Love
Serenade," and Hungarian Airs"
playing The Las Rose of Summer"
in answer to another encore. Will
helmi fully deserves the reputation he
has gained as one of the greatest of
living violinists, and has long since
passed beyond abe realm of the critic.
He seems like some great sorcerer,
his bow a wand. The secrets of the
magic art of music lies like an open
book before him, and his interpreta-
ton is inspiring. His violin becomes
in his hands the medium for the wild
