"The Prairie Waif."

Last evening Buffalo Bill appeared before
a big audience at Fulton opera house
with his retinue of real live Indians and
border celebrities, in the drama of the
"Prairie Waif." The piece was given
with the customary gusto, and the exciting
passages in which it abounds and in
which the noted scout is made to perform
deeds of daring never surpassed and seldom
equalled, brought down the house in
the most approved manner. It was cheerful
to contemplate the way in which
virtue was rewarded and villainy punished,
and in the denouement nothing was
wanting to complete the satisfaction of
right-minded people not to the point the
moral with which this thrilling tale is
adorned.
