BUFFALO BILL.

The Noted Scout, Marksman, Legislator and Actor to Appear Here To Morrow Evening.

Perhaps no actor in the country is better known than Buffalo Bill. He will present the "Prairie Waif" in this city Thursday evening. A western exchange contains the following regarding him:

The entertainment of Buffalo Bill (Hon. W. F. Cody) at Pope's began yesterday evening under the most auspicious circumstances. The aim has been to supply a realistic representation of the perils passed by the pioneers of civilization, and in order to do this successfully several real Indians are introduced in the cast in all the glory of war-paint, feathers, scalps (the bona fide article) and tomahawks, whose terrible appearance is offset by the beauty of a remarkably handsome and intelligent Indian maiden. There is abundance of action in the piece. Mr. Cody does lots of good work in his line, appearing in three different characters, and giving an exhibition of fancy rifle shooting, while the redskin braves indulge in their war songs and dances at different appropriate parts of the play.
