BUFFALO BILL.

"Twenty Days or Buffalo Bill's Pleadge" will be given at the Opera House to-night by Buffalo Bill and the troupe of excellent actors he brings with him, including a band of genuine Indian chiefs from the Winnebago, Sioux and Pawnee tribes, and the accomplished and beautiful Princess "Henokaw." Cody will also introduce his fancy [mid?]-shooting.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat speaks of Cody and his show as follows:

The entertainment of Buffalo Bill (Hon. W. F. Cody), at Pope's began yesterday evening under the most suspicious circumstances. When the handsome scout-legislator, first made his appearance as a dramatic star, his success surprised the critics, who affected to be puzzled over the fact that a man fresh from the prairie should pretend to dramatic ability. Since that time, however, Mr. Cody has studied carefully, and he is now able to bring considerable historic ability to bear upon his past in the drama, which is used as the medium of presenting a very interesting and at times engrossing picture of border life. 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.
