 wherever presented. The acting is of great excellence and the play has the value of a simple and downright dealing with deep emo- tions, and centers on that chivalric devotion in friendship and love, which is always popu- lar on the stage or in book, though SO rare in life. Popular prices at matinees.
 UNCLE ToaI's CABIN.
 Uncle Toms Cabin was given very success fully at Peck's Grand Opera House last even ing. There was a good sized audience Mrs. G. C. Howard as Topsy filled that part with great acceptance, as predicted by her reputa- tion. Little Eva was peculiarly good, one of the best presentations of that character. Uncle Tom was moderately successful. The Jubilee Singers were listened to with pleasure and leading feature of the entertainment The bones player and the clarionet imitation were remarkably good. Uncle Tom will be given at the matinee this afternoon, and this evening the Streets of New York will be the attraction, with full scenic accompaniments and all the interesting features.
 "sRA OF IoR."
 A good sized audience was present at Carlls Opera House last evening, when the spectacu-
  new scenery, painted especially for this play fully came up to the expectations of the au- dience, who gave evidence of their satisfac- tion by tremendous applause. The breaking up of the sea of ice, with the aurora borealis streaming up back of the shining icebergs, presented scene which was certainly superi- or to anything of the kind ever witnessed in this city. The tropical scene, the grand sa- loon and the grand allegory rescue from the 1 icebergs," were all finely arranged and showed the immense advantages to be obtained from 1 the size and machinery of the stage The | play requires the services of the whole com | pany, who considering the short time they | have had to rehearse, did as well as could be | expected There is but little room in it for | fine acting its principal attraction being the | splendid scenery. For this it is well worth | seeing.
 MIR. sPAULDNG's LECTURES.
 Those who wish to secure the choice of seats for MT. Spaulding's lectures will do well to be on hand when the sale opens at Mir. Judd's bookstore, on Monday morning at o'clock. It is safe to say that there will be generous demand for tickets, as the first course was listened to by appreciative audiences, and the, lectures were warm ly praised for their thought, learning, pie turesque description and vivid portraiture of ancient life and society. The Illustrations, which then were new and attractive feature, will be of unusual excellence in this series, large number of eolored slides prepared by distinguished artists, in exact reproduction of the Pompeian frescoes, and giving far better idea of them than can aow be obtained by visit to the city itself Every summer good many of our citi- sens turn their faces eastward for sight of he natural and artificial beauties of the old world, but the great majority, who are forced o stay on this side of the Atlantic, can find , delightful if not wholly satisfactory substi- ute in such lectures as those by MT. spauld- l, ug.
