BUFFALO BILL LAST NIGHT.
"The Parairie Waif" was presented by the Buffalo Bill combination, last night, to a large audience, and gave very general satisfaction. The plot turns upon the abduction of a young girl (Onita) by the Danite and her rescue by Buffalo Bill, who kills her abductors, restores her to her loving father, marries her- and they live happily ever afterwards. There is a comic Dutchman who sings and dances, a bright little woman to whom the aforesaid Dutchman makes love, and who sings and dances, also a highly trained donkey, and a company of Indians, who dance and howl and flourish knives and tomahawks in an unpleasantly devilish manner. The Prairie Waifs well played by Miss Lizzie Fletcher looks the part to perfection, and acts with intelligence and vivacity. Nobody could play the part of Buffalo Bill better than Buffalo Bill himself, who makes a very handsome stage picture and does his love making with the modesty and his fighting with the gallantry and dash of hero. His rifle shoting feats displayed the extraordinary skill for which he is famous, and the precision of his aim from all sorts of difficult positions elected the applause of the audience. The entertainment was interesting throughout, and Buffalo Bill and his company added many friends to the long list of those the handsome scout had already gained for himself in Easton.

This evening Mr. William F. Cody, better known as "Buffalo Bill," will begin an engagement at Haverly's Brooklyn Theatre in a newspiece written by Mr. John Stevens and entitled the "Praire Waif." He appears in his own character, supported by the company included in the following cast:
Buffalo Bill.................................Hon. W. F. Cody Mark Stanley.....................................R. O. White Jim Hardie} Danites. {....................Harry Clifton Jack Hardie} Danites. {....................Geo. T. James Hans..........................................Bonnie Runnels Captain Russel.........................C. Wilson Charles General Brown..................................Robert Neil H.

Booth Jack Cass...................................................Jerry Onita...................................Miss Lizzie Fletcher Sadie..............................Miss Connie Thompson
A young lady who sends a well written but rather caustic letter of complaint to the Eagle, of the annoyance to which she and others have been subjected at times by the admission of infants in arms to Haverly's Theatre matinees, expressed with considerable force the irritation that she naturally feels. Of course, if there is such a thing as good taste and appreciation among the young men of Brooklyn, our fair correspondent will some day look a little more leniently upon the offenders, and entertain a less marked admiration of King Herod than she appears to feel, but at present she certainly has reason on her side. The theatre is not a proper place for young children. The poor little creatures can certainly feel no pleasure in the performance, and only thoughtlessness and selfishness on the parents' parts can account for their pressence. What their own sense fails to teach them the management ought to, by prohibiting the admission of infants in arms, at all events.
