BUFFALO BILL.-Hon. Bill Cody's Company of ladies, gentlemen, Indians and Jackass filled the Academy of Music last evening, with a highly appreiative, much crowded, intensely boisterous, and highly demonstrative audience. The gallery was full to overflowing. Boys were piled upon boys in every available seat. Boys sat in a row around the [word?], and dangled their legs in mid air. Boys perched upon the cornice and rubbed their heads against the roof. And all these boys yelled, and whistled, and cheered and applauded almost continuously during the entire performance. The "Prairie Waif" is Onita, a white girl stolen from her father, General Brown, by the Indians and rescued by Buffalo Bill form the persecution of the Mormon Danites, who subsequently became possessed of her. The story is pretty well put together by John A. Stevens, the author of "Unknown," was written expressly for Mr. Cody, and embraces a number of startling incidents in the border life of the celebrated scout. Nobody will accuse Cody of being a first class actor, but the brave and handsome scout, whom Ned Buntline's pen long since made famous, has improved wonderfully in his stage business, and the performance as a whole was quite satisfactory as the most intense admirer of the dime novel could possibly wish it to be. His love scene in the second act was decidedly well wrought up, and his marksmanship created unbounded applause. Lizzie Fletcher is a pretty and graceful little actress, and in the first two acts was very pleasing; but she rather tore a passion to tatters in the third act. Miss Thompson was extremely lively and evidently enjoyed the performance as well as did any of the audience. Jule Keen, as Hans, was very funny, and the trained ass did his full share towards the success of the play. The band of Indians whooped, and tom-tomed, and war-danced, and yelled, and performed all sorts of grotesquely ridiculous actions in a highly successful and extremely noisy manner. The play has some very striking sets, is nicely put on, and exhibits an abundance of the properties which smack sufficiently of the prairie and forest to be the genuine thing. The house was the largest of the season, there being $410 in the hall. Six hundred gallery tickets were sold, and 550 people have packed theselves into the gallery. Over a hundred people were turned away from the door.
