Buffalo Bill opened to a top-heavy house at Macauley's last night in his new border play, "Twenty Days, or Buffalo Bill's Pledge."

BUFFALO BILL.
Mr. W. F. Cody gave one of his sensational galley-thrilling dramatic performances to a big house last night. We neglected to mention the company in this connection, for of course Buffalo Bill is the show, and seems to go his annual rounds with undiminished success. In lieu of our own, we give the opinions of the gods [Do you spell the gods of the gallery with a little or big G upon the play of "Twenty Days", which is that it is a pleaing and carefully drawn sketch of wild western life, in which Buffalo Bill moves like an avenging spirit, shooting villains and candles with wonderous skill, handsome as a picture and an object of envy to every one of us--long may he wave!
