---"Buffalo Bill" and company presented the new drama, "The Prairie Waif," at Music hall Friday evening, to a good house and recieved a liberal amount of applause which Mr. Cody, as the ideal hero of young America, is always assured. The plot of "The Prairie Waif" is quite simple, in which "Buffalo Bill" is constantly turning up as the hero. "Ouita," while a child, is abducted by Indians and is finally restored to her father, "Gen. Brown," by Bill," after he was twice rescued her from the Danites, and she has become his bride elect. Mr. Cody, as an actor, is improving; Miss Lizzie Fletcher as "Ouita" is creditable, possesing a clear, powerful voice, and the support is fair. Mr. Cody has lost none of his skill as a marksman; Harris' trained donkey amused with his obstinacy, and an eartorturing scalp and war dance was executed with sufficienct vehemence to convince one of the genuineness of the Cheyenne braves.
