BUFFALO BILL.
The Buffalo Bill Combination was greeted by another large audience at the Academy of Music last night. The entertainment afforded was excellent, and was received generously. It is really an entertaining show, and the full money's worth. The company give a matinee this afternoon, and the last performance this evening.
The following letter was written by a lady relative of the Hon. W.F. Cody, residing in this city:
The national reputation of this famous manager and actor, so well known heretofore as Chief of United States Scouts and in various capacities as honorable as they were hazardous and heroic, together with his own kingly and leonine personal presence,
"Where even God doth seem to set his seal to give the world assurance of a man,"
are quite sufficient to attract admiring crowds to witness any performance in which he takes prominent part. And of his own magnetism outweighs, if his majestic port out-tops, if his sympathetic constitution of mind more warms and inspires than aught his fellows are able to present, who would have it otherwise? And if wiser and older heads are constrained to acknowledge that nature has formed but one such man, and we are not likely to look upon his like again, may we not regard with content the worshipful following he received from our future men who are learning of him those lessons of truth, honor, courage, and nobility which some of their fellow-creatures are too lofty, and others too lowly, to teach them.
The play shifts from the parlors of New York, where Buffalo Bill appears in search of his sister May, to the wilds of the West, to the scene of the Mountain Meadow massacre, to Brigham Young's Zion House, to a military prison, in which the hero is the victim, and lastly to one triumphant spectacle where he is vindicated, and presents many striking and beautiful tableaux.
