The well known Duprea & Benedict's Minstrels appear at the Opera House, this evening. This organisation is now on its twenty-fourth annhal tour, and like good wine, improves with age. Just think—in these twenty-four years this troupe has traveled a dlatanee of nearly fifty times around the world." They come now with new songs, new sensations and original attractions, in all making up a programme brimfhl of the latest gems of refined minstrelsy. We have before us notices of the press in which tbe company is spoken of in the most enthusiastic terms, but it is so well known that it is hardly worth while to reproduce them. Long experience has taught Mr. Duprez, the manager, just what the people want, and with abundant means at his disposal, he secures the best artists and aims to give the best minstrel performance now before tbo country.
After to-night there arc io shews booked for some time.
Frank Mayo has canceled his engagement—so you won't get to see Davy Crockett again this season. —And now, just as the above is put in type, comes tho announcement that he will be here, but not before Marcb 21st— and we may be happy yet.
John T. Raymond will introduce Col. Mulberry Sellers to our pmple at the Opera House, on the evening of March 27th. He will be supported by Ixxike and G'ouldock.
On the evening of March 29th the ever welcome Maggie Mitcnell will appear at tho Opera House.
According to the Boston Globe, this was the telegram that caused Mr. Carleton, the baritone of the Kellogg Opera Company, to leave the troupe suddenly at Chicago: "At 3:30 o'clock this morning, a fine, fat, handsome girl, just like yourself a ten-pounder no sooner put into the crib than she commenced to gurgle out: 'Heart Bowed Downmother and child doing well."

John E. Owens once desired to reward a porter who had been unusually quick in performing an errand, and mechanically put his hand into his pocket and drew out a quarter. He held it out to the porter, but thinking he deserved more than a quarter for so much intelligence and celerity, drew it back and said: "No, I'll give you tickets for yourself and wife to-night, John." "No thank you, Mr. Owens," said John, "I'd rather have the quarter."
Rignold, tbe actor, is troubled about American "snpes." At Chicago he interfered, and Father McVicker shook his finger at him and told him not to interfere. Rignold says theso soldiers will use tobacco. "Now, you know," he adds, "they did not chew tobacco during the French campaigns of Henry V.—at least such is my impression—and it looks a little like an anachronism to see a mail-clad warrior with a quid in his cheek. I should as soon expect to see a Roman citizen with a cigar in his month listening to Mark Antony."
Edward Trafford, a .wealthy young Englishman, is the sensation in Denver at present. He bought a ranche, furnished it magnificently, and then abandoned it to bis stock-tenders. He then started a variety show, and spent some more money. After which he fell in love with Emmie Dunning, sister of Alic, gave the troupe a grand banquet, and married the young actress.
The New York Mail finds fault with the custom of calling actors out before tho curtain at the end of an act, or after a stormy seene. It pronounces it a nuisance only second to that of young blood*
going
out to drink between
times. Brignoli's g^it is said to be more rolling than ever, and occasionally he barks his elbows on tho stage furniture.
Bessie Turner is soon to lecture la Cleveland and tell "The Reason Why.' Bessie little neart, why shouldn't she?
BALLS.
The Maennerchor Masquerade at Dowling Hall was a magnificent success in every respect—that's about what we have been able to say year after year of the admirable entertainments of this excellent organization.

The tableaux were well gotten up and the entire management reflects credit on the members of the Maennerchor.
The Home Circle Ciub will dose their elegant series—and an interesting and susceasful season—on Friday evening, en bal masque, at the residence of W. R. MoKeen.
