143“The Scouts of tho Prairie,” As performed by "Ned Buntline," | 143“The Scouts of tho Prairie,” As performed by Ned Buntline, “Buffalo Bill” “Texas Jack” and the “big Injuns,” at the Temple on Monday evening, was one of the most enjoyable performances we ever witnessed, and seemed to fairly take the spectators by storm. The audience was a large one, there being very few good seats unoccupied on the lower floor, while the gallery was crowded mainly with boys and girls of the dime novel age and variety, whose bliss was perfect at the amount of yellow-covered business transacted on the stage. We were expressly delighted with the apostrophes to natureby “Hazel Eye" and "Carl Dorg." delivered in the choicest language, after the manner of frontier men and maidens; and the trapper's témperance lecture to the drunken Irishman (there was a stage Irishuman, who was always drunk, of course, and a stage Dutchman, who equally of course was a blundering blockhead,) touched the tenderest fibres of our heart. The generous applause with which those fellows in the audience who had “been out to see a man” between the acts responded to the hightoned temperance sentiments of the trapper, raised our estimate of the talent morality of the human race several degrees. |
