BUFFALO BILL.
As might have been expected, the opera house was filled to overflowing last night to see the great scout of the plains, his wild Indians, black bears, buffalos and jack-rabbits, all of which the flaming posters on the dead walls announced would be present. But the small boy and the lover of western romance were disappointed. There were no buffalos, no black bears, no wild Indians; but instead a third-rate dramatic company, playing at some sort of a sickly play without point or pith. There was not a passable artist in the crowd, and if there. had been there was nothing in the play to bring him or her out. Bill himself did remarkably fine in a character he has created and which he has played thousands of times. The support was simply vile, and unworthy the Alabama Varieties in its palmy days. But yet the house was crowded.

Frontier History.
Buffalo Bill's new book is receiving the most commendatory favors from the press all over the country. It is justly regarded as a most reliable and succinct history of the later Indian wars of the north. Buffalo Bill has had such a wide and varied experience on the frontier that one should read his book in order to obtain its fascinating and rich history. He deals with the early history of Wyoming as well as other places, and speaks frequently of Cheyenne, Fort Laramie, and other well known places hereabouts. Many of the circumstances related in the book are familiar to many of our residents, and they pronounce them reliable and singularly correct. Mr. Cody has also rendered invaluable service to the military in many campaigns against the Indians, and the officers attest to his efficiency and bravery.
The hardy frontiersmmen, of whom Buffalo Bill is the greatest now living, are rapidly passing away, and in a little while will be seen no more. Hence it is unusually interesting to read of the deeds of one who lived in our day and generation, and who may be called upon at any time to again take the field against the Indians as a scout.
All who love truthful tales of the frontier will do well to secure this book, which is most handsomely printed, bound and illustrated, Frank E. Bliss, of Hartford, Conn., is the publisher.
