The "Scout of the Prairie '' will essayed last night at the Opera House with the realistic scenes as the border of life and on the''prairie.” The characters essayed by Ned Buntline, Hon. W. F. Cody and Jean. B. Omohundro, were real, neither processes to be actors, they are "theirselves alone"

The plot and literary merit of the piece are amination of the magic mind of Ned himself, and are harmonized and brought out as to present the reality and not the idea, which many authors draw upon. In gathering the material for such a production as the "Scouts of the Prairie." It requires no ordinary nerve to conreach sanguinity and starling incidents as so truthfully presented for such an author must know how it is himself."

The presentation of the "Scouts" last night was received by the audience with the most enthusiastic demonstration of satisfaction which was fully evidenced by long loud and continued applause, perfectly elastic which at the end of the first act, brought forward of the cartain, the live heroes of a thrilling romance Texas Jack ans "old confed and Buffalo Bill a Federal scout" who were formally introduced by Col. Ned Buntline, here was the "blue and gray" blended together in one harmonious strain of good fellowship, to shoe as "men together" for deeds a daring and unconquerable valor, they challenge the admiration of the universal word, ans set a bright example to the rising generation, of what constitutes true courage, and the marked difference between the bravo and true manhood

As to the Injuns they were Injuns, and Injuns to the very life, warwhoop scalp dance and all. The "actors" one and all essayed their characters to the full conceptions of Ned's ideas of "how things were done."

Miss Sedlow and Madam Carfano are exceedingly attractive in beauty grace and performance
In harmony of action
Speech and air,
In all fairness, both were more than fair.

Tonight the "Scouts" will be repeated and we advise all who desire to witness a piece full of realistic conceptions startling incidents and truthful pictures should not fail to attend, they will never have occasion to regret to neglect argues a degree of indifference the good and the beautiful no one would like to be accused of.
