BUFFALO BILL.

Who has won renown both in real and mimic life, supported by his old-time combination, will present their dashing Western drama, May Cody, at Olough's Opera House, on Tuesday evening of next week. This drama as produced by this combination, has proved one of the most marvelous successes ever presented to the public. The Washington City Sunday Herald says of the performance in that city:

In Giacomo, the Italian bandit, the original of Auber's "Fra Diavolo," were to present himself in person on the stage, there could not be anything more thoroughly, realistic than there is to be found in the appearance of the Hon. Wm. Cody--"Buffalo Bill"--in his different roles as scout, guide and hunter which were presented at the National last week. An incident connected with this was the meeting of this rather remarkable character with his old commander, now General William H. Emery, U. S. (retired). The general, with a party of friends, mostly army officers, occupied one of the private boxes, and appeared very much interested during the entire performance, giving vent to their appreciation by frequent, hearty applause. The drama presented, May Cody, or Lost and won, abounds with startling and realistic scenes, and to those at all familiar with the history of the Interminable wards on the frontier, and the daring characters to be found there, know that the entire plot was not in the least exaggerated. Buffalo Bill is as much the hero on the stage or in a private parlor as he is a veritable one on the plains. Courtly in his manners, frank and open in his address, he is, it may be said, truly one of "nature's noblemen."
