This thrilling tableau represents a death struggle between an Arab standard-bearer and a French soldier. The Arab grasps the standard with the left hand, while the right holds a short cimeter at arm's length; his body is bent forward, right arm extended thirty inches front of the left, and eyes directed to those of the soldier, the countenance expressing firmness and excitement. Costume consists of a long white coat without sleeves, trimmed about the bottom with buff, open at the top, displaying the neck and chest; a heavy red sash wound around the waist; pants of light-blue, cut quite loose, and gathered in with a string at the ankle; shoes covered with red cloth; a turban on the head, the top of which is white, and around the bottom is wound a band of red and black cloth, with the ends falling over the shoulders; a belt and scabbard are fastened to the waist. The sword should be two feet long, four inches wide, and curve from hilt to point. This can be made of tin or wood, the scabbard of card-board or leather, and painted red. The French soldier's costume consists of blue coat, trimmed and faced with buff, gold epaulets, large gilt buttons, white pants with stripe of red, red belt and long scabbard, hat with plume and long, straight visor. He holds in his right hand a long, straight sword, while the left grasps the standard. His body is bent forward, and faces the audience, the right foot extended front of the left thirty inches, the eyes fixed on those of the Arab, countenance expressing determination and rage. The staff on which the flag is fastened is seven feet long, with a gilt ball, crescent, and tassels at the top. The flag is made of three stripes, one of light yellow, and two of light red, with a black oval, with red trimmings, in the centre. The flag should be unfolded so as to show the design, but gathered in at the centre by the hand of the soldier. Between these two figures are a French soldier and an Arab lying dead on the ground. Five feet behind this group, and at the right of the stage, are four Arabs, with long spears, charging on the same number of French soldiers opposite, who are holding their muskets in position, ready to repel the charge, their countenances expressing sternness, their eyes fixed on each other. Costumes are similar to those described. Spears can be made of wood, with gilt spear-heads. The skin of the Arabs must be stained light brown. The French soldiers should wear large mustaches. A slight quantity of smoke is seen floating in the background; the booming of cannon heard in the distance. The scene is illuminated by a red fire at the side of the stage. Music of a martial style.

JONATHAN'S VISIT TO HIS CITY COUSINS.

One Female and One Male Figure.

This comic tableau is one that can be produced at short notice, and without expense. The scene to be represented is a parlor furnished with sofa, chairs, carpet, pictures, table, and a melodeon, which is placed on the side of the stage. A sheet of music is resting on the rack, and a young lady is seated on the melodeon stool, body facing the audience, head turned to the back of the room, both hands raised, and eyes fixed on a young man, who is seated on the sofa in the background. Her body is slightly inclined from the young man, countenance expressing affright. She should be costumed in a showy silk dress. The gentleman's costume consists of striped pants, reaching within six inches of the foot, red straps, thick boots, ancient style swallow-skirted coat, short striped vest, ruffle-bosomed shirt, standing collar reaching to the ears, large brass chain and watch seals hanging from the vest pocket, large red silk handkerchief laid across the knee, and a low-crowned white hat in the hand. Position is, seated on the sofa, one hand placed in the pants pocket, the other resting on the knee, body bent forward, eyes fixed on the keys of the melodeon, countenance expressing astonishment. The gentleman best adapted for this part is one who has a natural talent for performing in comedy. Light should be thrown on the scene from the lower end of the side of the stage, and of medium brightness. Music of a spirited character.

THE THREE GRACES.

Faith, Hope, and Love, now dwell on earth,
And earth by them is blest;
But Faith and Hope must yield to Love,
Of all the graces best.

Three Female Figures.

This is a statuary tableau, and is represented by three young and beautiful ladies of about the same height and figure, with regular features and long hair. Their costume consists of a long white robe, worn with few skirts, and cut extremely low at the neck, sleeves five inches long, a mantle of white tarleton muslin worn across the breast, tied at the side, and allowed to trail on the floor; the hair arranged in braids at the sides of the head, ornamented with large beads, clasped with a silver band behind, and allowed to hang in short curls in the neck. The ornaments should be entirely white. The three ladies stand on a pedestal three feet high, and four feet in diameter; this must be covered with black or green marble paper, and placed in the centre of the stage. The centre lady stands facing the audience, with the right hand raised above the head; the left clasps the hand of the lady at the left side, who is looking into the eyes of the figure at the right, and rests her right hand on the shoulder of the centre figure. The figure on the other side stands in a graceful position, resting her hands on the shoulder of the centre figure, and looking into her face. The countenances of the three should express pleasure. The light for the piece must be soft and mellow, and come from the side of the stage. Music low and plaintive.
