D The New York Telegram says of the play ''The new comedy is full of delicate and Imaginable surprises. It sparkles with bright sayings and fairly glistens with humorous gems. The situations are very droll and, what can rarely be said of the incidents of kindred works, positively dramatic This is, without a doubt, one of the most enter taining pieces we have seen in New York for many year."
 ''N PARADISE"
 There was large audience at Carlps Opera House last evening to see and hear John T. Raymond in his new play. This play is not a great play, but it is lively and well ar ranged, and gives Mir. Raymond chance to IL onl ahoro oE ing. He gives striking impersonation of an eccentric but good hearted Virginia major, and while he was on the stage laughter was almost continuous. The other members of the company are competent and acted with skill and spirit, MT John Marble as ''Bart Binks" being especially effective. The audi ence was thoroughly pleased with the whole performance, and MT. Raymond and his com- pany must have been pleased with the hearty appreciation which their efforts received. ''In Paradise" seems destined to 'go,' and to add to Mir. Raymond's fame and bank account. ForePaugh's Great Egyptian Pageant,
 Cleopatra Queen of Egypt.
 Thousands are everywhere focking to see Forepsughs great street parade with it's two magnificent spectacles, "Lalla Rookh" and "Cleopatra :" Of this latter, which is pre- sented for the first time this season, we ap- pend the following historical account there of, adding that our exchanges assert that the pageant as presented by Forepaugh fully equals the historical description herewith appended:
 "Cleopatra was at this time twenty-five years old. She provided herself with vast sums of money and the most magnificent or naments and habits and with still higher hopes in her attractions and the graces of her person. more powerful than dress or even gold, she began her royal pilgrimage. Never was equipage more splendid and mag nifcent than hers; the whole upper deck of her barge famed with gold the sails were purple and inlaid with silver; 8 pavilion of cloth of gold was raised upon the deck, under which appeared Cleopatra, robed like Venus, and surrounded with the most beauti- full virgins of her court, some of whom repre- sented the Nereids and others the Graces Instead of trumpeters were heard futers, hautboys and harps, and other instruments of music, breathing the softest airs, te which the oars kept time, and rendered the harmo- ny more agreeable. Perfumes burned on the deck, which spread their odors to great dis tance. As soon as her arrival became known. the people of Tarsus went out to meet her, and a runor was spread that the Goddess of Beauty and Love had come to make Tarsus 8 visit"
 Such is the account given by the historians of the time of the more than royal splen- dors and magnifcence of Egypt's famous hnu OoauIAhuA NuoeH, Ou GuS occasion or nef visit to the great Roman triumvir, Mark An tony, who, capable by his prowess of subdu- ing empires, yet was unable to escape the conquest of his head and heart by Egypt's lovely and luxurious Queen.
 Ali the regal splendors that marked the s'star-eyed beauty's" royal journey are faith fully and magnifcently illustrated in the grand pageant which will be given in the great street parade of Forepaugh's colossal show on Thursday, May 17, the date of it's exhibition here.
