"The Witch" which is to be presented at
the Bush-street Theater next week, is an
almost faithful reproduction Of incidents
which actually occurred in the days of the
famous witehcraft craze in Salem, Mass.
Both characters and incidents have been
compiled from historical research. and were
enacted in real earnest some 200 years ago.
Especially is this true of the great trial
scene in the fourth act The inconeeivably
strange questions have been copied from
the official records Of the witehcrsft trials.
The testimony given, the cross-Questioniug,
the appeals for mercy, the judges charge
to the jury, all the solemn proceedings of
this famous trial. as history has recorded
them, are reported with truthful accuracy.

tifully engraved souvenir spoon Of sterling
silver, the occasion being the four hundred
and fiftieth performance of 1.-The Witch"

"Clover" and Julie Kingsley together fill
the Tivoli with such fashionable crowds
;hat one has to think twice to realize that il
is not Baldwin or a StOckwell audience,
and first night one at that Julie Kings
ley is certainly drawing crowds of ladies
who have never been inside the Tivoli
before, and the many remarks OF satisfae-
Uen expressed by the audiences leaving the
theater after the performance 60 10 prove
that the energies OF the management are
fully appreciated, and that the fair dan
seuse is helping to popularIZe this favOrte
place oil amusement among a class of our
society people who have not been very con-
slant patrons prior TO her appearance on the
boards. Oracle Piaisted is doing splendid
work in the pretty opera, both she aud Miss

BY the steamship Alameda, lately ar
rived from the Australian colonies via
New Zealand. we have the Auckland Star

columns to description of the wonderful
legerdemain and natural-nagic perform
ances OF the young San Francisco thauma-
turgist. Carl Hertz, with prOfuse illustra-
tlons. 1t Is unusual for a colonial news
paper to indulge in such enterprise, even for
more important matters than a sleight-of-
hand show. Young Hertz must be exceed
ingly clever 10 warm the old-fashioned
English journalistic mind in sucn a fashion.
