| 107country, will present new songs, jokes and witticisms. The unique and versatile Jimmy Wall will have Dew specialties, and the musical trio-McLeod. Howe and Wall-will reproduce their Act, "Fun in a Railway Station." 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 ad 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 (0.) 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 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 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
