Life on the Border.
There was not a large audience at the Opera House last evening to witness the appearance of the celebrated Indian scouts, "Buffalo Bill" and Texas Jack," yet never have we seen assembled a more delighted and enthusiastic audience, if we are to judge from the shouts of applause and shrieks of laughter that constantly rent the air.
The performance commenced with the petitie comedy of "Thrice Married," introducting the peerless actress and danseuse, M'lle Morlacchi. The lady is a very charming actress, sings very nicely, and dances in the manner that has won for her a reputation which is second to no premier danscuse in the land. The lady's dancing last evening carried the "house by storm" and brought numerous encores.
Following the farce came the great attraction of the evening, "Life on the Border," introducing "Buffalo Bill" and "Texas Jack," supported by a very good company. The play is one that defies criticism. It abounds in startling incidents and thrilling tableaux, and the drop curtain was up at the end of each act. The scouts turn up everywhere just in the nick of time to spoil some villaimous scheme or protect innocent and defenseless people. It is a true picture of border life with just enough coloring to make it relishable.
"Buffalo Bill" evidences that he excels as an actor as well as an Indian slayer and hunter.
The company contains some very good comedians, who keep the pen toiling and the "gods" delighted. Among the ladies, the acting of Miss Ada Forrester as "Emma," and Miss Florence Fay as "Betsy," may be mentioned as having enhanced the attractiveness of the performance very much. As a whole, the entertainment is one that will please all classes, as it is very exciting and enjoyable, the interest never flagging from beginning to end. When the Scouts again visit this city they may feel assured of a large turn out.

Buffalo Bill.
To-night the Buffalo Bill Combination composed of this celebrated border hero, the other noted adventurer of the plains "Texas Jack" and the peerless danseuse, M'lle Moriacchi, commence an engagement of three nights and a Wednesday matinee at the Opera House. The play they produce, "Life on the Border," though full of startling incidents and thrilling effects, is devoid of the rifle shooting which has so distinctly characterized the other plays of Buffalo Bill. We believe but one shot is fired in this drama and even that, we [?] would not be admitted if not immediately necessary.
We learn from the business agent, Mr. John M. Burke, that since the combination last appeared here, it has traveled through a dozen or more, States between here and Texas, and has enjoyed uninterrupted success. Buffalo Bill to a "strong card." everywhere. There will undoubtedly be crowded audiences at the Opera House for the next three nights.
