 JANAUsoHEK IN 'sBLEAK HOUSE."
 Madame Janauschek's dual representation of 'tLady Dedlock" and 'tHortense" last evening at Carll's Opera House was 8 bril- liant entertainment. The audience, though not large, comprised many people of note and prominence. The great Jaanuschek held the heart of her audience in the grasp of her hand. Her voice thrilled their souls. She is so classic, so commanding that none other can approach her. Her troupe is worthy of her and that is sufficient praise. Madame Janauschek will play stMother and Son'' this afternoon. On this occasion she will wear four diamonds, the aggregate value of which is over $45, ,OOO. They were royal gifts to her from the last Emperor Nicholas and the Queen of Bavaria. This evening Mary Stuart" will be presented.

 1.-THE PROFESSOR"
 A large audience was present last evening at the Grand Opera House to see ''The Pro lessor make love to fifteen beautiful young ladies'" This he did in his original way as long as the young ladies held out, but when the number had reached to five or six the list
 was exhausted. The rest were not missed for the five made noise enough for whole
 boarding school. The play has been inn proved since it's last presentation here, and the audience was highly amused and very liberal in bestowing applause. Everybody
 laughed, but why they laughed nobody knew
 The character of the Professor was sustained by MT. Gillette in an original and clever style
 which took well with the audience, he being called before the curtain. The "Yale men" sung one or two song in manner to bring forth hearty encore from the Yale men who occupied the two first rows of the parquet, aud otherwise sustained their parts credit ably The performance was full of life and fun from beginning to end. and the play cer-
 tainly has the merit of keeping an audience highly amused throughout. The scenery, as | promised, was new and handsome, adding very much to the enjoyment of the play. This l afternoon and evening the performance will | be repeated, and for the laughter it affords is well worth witnessing.
