DE BAR'S OPERA HOUSE.

Miss Lotta played Zip to a delighted audience
last night, the last performance of a two weeks'
engagement, as a successful as any the popular
actress ever filled. Tomorrow night the Buffalo
Bill combination appear in the border drama of
The Red Right Hand, or the First Scalp for Custer,
a play with a ocnsiderable amount of blood
and thunder int it, and full of sensation and
humor. It is founded upon the tragic incidents
of the Custer massacre, and the engagement with
"Yellow Hand's" band of Cheyennes, in which
Buffalo Bill carried off the scalp of that savage
chieftain. All these dreadful scenes are presented
with terrible reality in The Red Right Hand,
and with great fidelity to the historic facts involved.
Besides Buffalo Bill, Captain Jack (J.
W. Crawford), another noted frontiersman, will
appear in an important role. The combination
has recived strong praise wherever it has been.
