ANUSEMEAIS.
Cleycland's magnificent minstrcls
drew a fine audience L. Powers theater
last evening, and the splendid program
was appreciated ID a demorstratve
manner. The rich dressing OF the first
part was beautiful aud attractive. Such
advancement a. this certainly gives
minstrelsya vigorous renewal of life.
The olio introduced well executed spc-
cialties, ntcrspersed with brilliant
music, marching maneuvors and dane
ing. That bright and inimItaple Mn
strcl, Billy Emerson, was received with
great enthusiasm. Hughey Daugh-
ertys stump speech was sparkling with
humor and happy hits. The japanese
performers accomplished almost ImpOs-
sihle teats, with celcrityo OF movement
ard nimblcucss of action. winch these
people seem to be peculiarly and ex-
! clusvcly gifted. TINS company OF
| Cleyeland's Is "A No. lln full
sense OF the expression. They Will APP
pear IN Detroit tonight.
The fortunes of Josephine, Empress
! of the French, are depicted IN the new
drama which Nile Rnea VIII shortly
| produce at Powers. Josephine" has
| been highly commended by the dra-
matte and literary critics IN the larger
cities, where Rhea has thus far this
| season confined her engagements. Tie
play opens with a ball AT the TuIllerles,
where Josephine, though plotted
| against, still holds uncha!lenged her
supremacy IN France. Later comes the
tidings of the death of the King of
| Holland, leaving Napoleon without "a
| heir 10 the throne. The divorce fol-
lows, and tne pathetic parting of jose
phnc and the Emperor, with Tailey-
rand riding post haste 10 Vienna 10 ask
| the hand of Marie Louise for his
| sovereign. The imperial marriage
| takes place, and at length, IN her
abode at MalmalsOn. Josephine heard
! the booming OF the guns that an
nOunccd the birth of the hoped FOR
! her to NapOleOn's throne. The En-
peror's defeat and fight TO Elha are
| followed in the play by the dcscrton OF
Maria Louise, who ls denounced for
her falseucss 10y Josephine, true 10 VA
polcon through all her trials. The
faithful heart breaks at last, hut not
/ until the cX-EmpresS sees her Idol re-
turn from Elba at the head OF q con-
querlng army.
