A very interesting melodrama is "Or
the Mississippi and the audience in the
Academy of Music last night appeared
thoroughly to enjoy its humor and nov
elites. The play is out of the usual
run of melodramas, aspires to a higher
plane, and in nan respects may justly
be described as an excellent piece OF
writing. The situations are mighty
dramatic, and in strong contrast are
others as funny as the funniest comedy
can produce. Particularly is this SO i'll
act III scene l. depicting. the leyee, on
the wharf and the county JAIL" the
scene being most amusing and singular
ly novel. The plot, is simple, and a great
deal has been mad of 1t. There is a
scheming man and his 'adventuriere'
wife. a Kluklux cut throat, an honest
Victim Of the adventures, and, lastly,
an amateur detective, who has the fac
ulty of always appearing In the nick OF
time and foiling the plots of the wicked

Hon Ton Theatre.
Garfield & Carleton, an eccentric com
edy team, are the stars 1t the Bon Ton
this week. The entertainment they fur
nish is clean cut and strictly up to date.
Miss Carleton is beyond all doubt the
prettiest woman who has been intro
duced to the patrons of the Bon Ton.
Their team work provoked extensive APP

recall them later in the season.
Satsuana, the juggler and equilibrist, is
one of the attractions. His feats are

Lyric Theatre, FHoboken.
1t is very well the Lyric theatre is
not a small building, for the people Of
Jersey City and Hoboken are determined
if one may Judge by last nights au-
dience, to test its capacity while the
tsGirI I Left Behind Me- is there.
The play deals with AN Indian uprising
brought on, it appears, by the narrow
and unreasonable policy of the Govern
ment at Washington. The scenes are all
laid in the Blackfoot country at the
Army Post Kennion and at Fort Asin-
boine.
The second and third acts are particu-
larly strong, each working up to a eli
max which made the audience rise like
one man and yell. The martial spirit was
uncomfortable when. at&tHe close of fj1A
