Roland Reed in .Humbug. /"

Another large audience assembled at the
Grand last night and thoroughly enjoyed
the Dick Smytbe OF Roland Reed. His songs
and musical specialties were demanded again
and again. Cheek" gives way tonight to
Marsden's farce comedy OF "Humbug, !"
which achieved a most remarkable run in
New York at the Bijou Opera House, where
it received the endorsement OF the entire city
press, and was nightly enjoyed by large and
delighted audiences. The comedy is clever
in construction and presents some novel
situations and characters. The part of
Jack Luster, impersonated by Mr.. Reed, is
q character which gives him ample oppor-
tunity to display his varied talent and the
several members of his company all have
congepial roles. During the action of the
play there will be an entire change of
musical programme, Mr.. Reed introducing
some new and taking songs, which have
achieved such remarkable success
throughout the country. Miss Annie Lewis
will assist him in a medley duet containing
the gems from the latest operatic successes.
Miss Alice Hastings will, as Mrs. Arminda
Bartram Ponsby, display some magnificent
toilettes. There is already large sale and
the house will no doubt be packed to the
doors.

Matthew Arnold.

OF Matthew Arnold, who was very kindly
entertained in Washington, different stories
are told of his lack OF tact, amounting
almost to discourtesy toward his enter
tainers. His daughter was q pretty girl,
but she had not learned even as much as
her father. Sc her hosts listened to these
remarks from the young lady, while they
were dining at one of the handsomest
houses in the city: "Oh, papa, how much
better the cooking is here than it was at the
As" and she named a very well-known
family in New York; i've had such nasty
things there" The remark was quite audi
BILE, and it made subdued ripple.
