 General interest is felt in the concert to be given at the Hyperion next Monday evening by MT. Nikisch and his famous Boston Symphony orchestra. The first ap- pearance of Madame Nordica will add much to the attractiveness of the occasion. Seats are now on sale at the Hyperion theater.
 ''Niobi," Abbott & Teal's great New York and Boston success of the season, comes next Wednesday.
 The long heralded Jefferson and Flor ence were here last night. But little re- mains to be said either of the company or the play itself. "The Rivals" ranks next to Jefferson's first success, Rip Van Wrinkle, and the members of his company have attained we'll deserved fame both in- dividually and as perfectly balanced cast. Next to Daly's, Jefferson &o Flor ence's Comedy company is, without doubt, the most perfectly organized troupe in the country. Jefferson and Florence of course are stars of the first magnitude. and are too well l-known to need description. Miss Allen as Lydia Languish, was ex- tremely effective, while Mrs John Drew in her favorite dowager role was equally good. Mir. Owen sustained the somewhat difficult part of the choleric Sir Anthony Absolute. MT. Owsley and MT. George and Captain Absolute Even in the sub ordinate roles of David, Fay and Lucy, the true spirit of the play was sustained, and there was not scene or conversation open to criticism in the whole performance The house was packed from top to bottom. Every scene was heartily applauded and Messrs. Jefferson and Florence were called before the curtain again and again.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The 'sFairies' Well'' will be presented this evening and for the balance of the week. The play tells the story of Larry Dee, handsome and manly "whipper-in" and his pretty Irish sweetheart Mona, in a manner that appeals directly to the sym paties of the audience from the outset, and there are many cleverly arranged come dy scenes. .r:
 Next weeks attractions are the French Folly eonpany the first three nights, and Harry Kernelrs company the latter half.
 PRoCToR's OPERA HOUSE.
 Of a recent production in that city of "Men and Women," which comes to this house tomorrow and Saturday, the Bridge port Standard says: It is story of al most tragic interest; intense in it's pathos, startling in realism, and wholly dramatic, the heavier lines being opportunely re- ieved by sparkling comedy. "Men and Women" reaches the hearts of all, and impel better, higher realization of the duties of life. day, and Clara Morris in "Odette" next Tuesday. s&s AT THE DIME MUSEUM.
 The Church street dime museum opened it's doors to quite large attendance last evening.
