OPERA ROUFFE AT THE NATIONAL. “The Princess of Trezibonde,” one of Of- fenbach’s latest and best opera bouffes, was Performed for the first time in this etty by the Oates company at the National Theater Just night, and the acting and singing of the troupe was equal to that of any French com- pany we bave had here in that line of enter- tainment, which is saying a great deal. Mrs. Oates tn the mercurial “Prince Raphael” has @ character Png fitted for her dashing style of acting, while she has some charming bits of melody assigned her, which are sung in a sympathetic and artistic manner. Drew was a capital “Tremolini,” and came out strong in the comic line, as clown and as head stew- ard, to the surprise even of his admirers, who bave seen and heard him only in more formal roles. The rest of the support was very good and the chorusses for both male and female voices were given with much spirit and correctness, particularly the Tyro- lean song by the male singers and the chorus by the female palace guard. The female chorus is rather more gifted in rsonal at- tractions than is usual with the imported article. “The Princess of Trezibonde” will be repeated at the Thanksgiving matinee to-morrow. ‘La Jolie Parfamuese,” with Mrs. Oates as “ Michon,” to-night, and “Madame Angot’s Child” to-morrow night. FORD'S OPERA HOUSE. The Troubadours offer a most enjoyable entertainment at this house and should draw crowded houses nightly. “Sailing Under Faise Colors” was presented in good style last evening, and “Patchwork,” which fol- lowed, was brimfull of fan and good humor. The company are generally good in their re- spective roles, and Mixs McHenry. pretty and dashing, deserves credit for her fine act- ing.

Respectfully yours, Boy. The clipping sent us by “A Boy,” is as fol- lows: “There are sevcral things very com- monly done which are extiemely injurious to the ear, and ought to be earefuily avoide?. One of these is the practice of boxing ehil- dren’s ears. It is known that the passage of the ear is closed by a thin membrane, especially adapted to be influenced by every’ | impulse of the air, and with nothing but thi air to support it internally. ¢an be more likely to injure this membrane than a sudden and forcible compression of the air in front of It? Ifany one designed to break or overstreteh the membrane, a more efficient means could scarcely be devised than to bring the hand suddenly and forcibly down upon the passage of the car, thus dri ing the air violently before it, with no possi- bility of its gig but by the membrane giving away. edical jautbority asserts that many children are deaf by boxing on the ear.” — MR.
