country, will present new songs, jokes
and witticisms. The unique and versatile
Jimmy Wall will have new specialties,
and the musical trio-McLeod.
Howe and Wall-will reproduce their
Act, "Fun in a Railway Station." Mr.
Windom will continue in his great
song, "After the Ball," and everybody
should hear Eldridge's clever satire,
"After the Fair."
A Ballad of Dead Actors.
Where are the passions they essayed,
And where the tears they made to flow?
Where the wild humors they portrayed
For laughing worlds to sec and know?
Othello's wrath and Juliet's woe?
Sir Peter's whims and Timon's gall?
And Millamant and Romeo?-
Into the night go one and all.
Where are the braveries fresh or frayed?
The lines, the armors - friend and
foe?
The cloth of gold, the rare brocade,
The mantles glittering to and fro?
The pomp, the pride, the royal show?
The cries of war and festival?
The youth, the grace, the charm, the
glow?
Into the night go one and all.
The curtain falls, the play is played:
The Beggar packs beside the Beau:
The Monarch troops, and troops the Maid;
The Thunder huddles with the Snow.
Where are the resetters high add low?
The clashing swords? The lover's call?
The dancers gleaming row on row?-
Into the night go one and all.
ENVOY.
Prince, in one common overthrow
The hero tumbles with the thrall;
As dust that drives, s straws that blow,
Into the night go one and all.
W. E. Henley.
TRIBUTE TO COL, CODY.
Murat Halstead Writes Enthuslastically
of the Wild West.
Murat Halstead, the field marshal of
American journalists, the unequaled
raconteur and the brilliant and distinguished
editor of both the Brooklyn
(N. Y.) Citizen and the Cincinnati (O.)
Commercial Gazette, visited Buffalo
Bill's Wild West in company with the
members of the National Editorial association
last week. In writing his impressions
of the stupendous aggregation
of entertaining things which Col. Cody
has brought together at his grounds on
Sixty-third street, next to the World's
Fair, Mr. Halstead says:
"Another word about Buffalo Bill's
Wild West object lesson. He is here in
great form, completing the conquest of
two worlds. Everyone knows how he
took the scalp of Europe and wears the
glittering trophy at his belt. He has
added largely to the attractiveness of
his exbibit and deserves the success
he has had and the crowning triumphs
before him throughout the season that
has opened, so auspiciously for him.
There is one new feature worth traveling
a thousand miles to see, and that is
the cavalry of the four nations-the
United States, England, Germany and
France. A troop of the cavalry of each
of those nations appear in the
regulation uniform, bearing their respective
flags, and the bold riders going
through the most elaborate evolutions,
display all the witcheries of consummate
horsemanship. They are better
worth seeing than the cowboys or the
savages, the Mexicans or the cossacks.
The one sight that ought to interest
