A FIRST APPEARANCE.
On Monday night, the celebrated dog nruin,
belonging to Mr.. G. III. Andrews, made his first
appearance as "The dog Of Montargis.'' From
the rumored talent of this performer, it is but fair
to state that great expectations were formed
which were fully realized. Constant applause
greeted the new candidate for fame, and at the
fall Of the curtain, cries Of "Bruin! Brun!'' re-
sounded from all sides. Obedient to the call, the
star Of the evening came forth, wagged his tail,
first at the boxes, then at the pit, and then the
gallery; and after significant bark, he popped
himself on his hind legs, and delivered the follow
ing significant speech:


Ladies and gentlemen Of Boston:-There cam
not be greater insult to performer, than 10 call
him out, as it is termed. In the first place, it
isn't promised in the bill. In the second place. it
lis no compliment, because you call out every
body, good, bad, and indifferent. In the third
place, yOu will often neglect talented man, and
let him play to bare walls during the whole en-
gagement, and then call him out-as in the case
Of Mr.. Vandenhof- -and then call him ont, fer
what? To get good stare at him, and have Your
|selfesteem fattered with salvy words about your
generosity" and ''liberal patronage and your
being the siAthens Of America and all thatfiddle-
Gee on your patronage! lou WOulQ nj De caught
in theatre, unless you felt sure you would get
your moneys worth, and if a poor actor makes q
blunder, you goose him and cat-can him without
mercy-and because he has merit enough to win
/ his way, he must come before the curtain and
humbly thank you. Shame on you for the little
consideration you show in this paltry custom!
Some actors, no doubt, are fond of showing them
selves before the curtain, and creating an excita-
ton, as my friend George Jones would say, but
the high minded are indignant, and would moi
obey, were they not afraid that you in your bril-
liant sense Of republican freedom, would pull the
house down about the managers ears. You never
could get word out Of Miss Tree or Vandenhof
more praise to them. They came forward
through necessity, but said nothing, through con-
tempt. / myself should not have gratfed YOU
| by sight Of my corporeal frame divested Of the
stage accompanments, did not mean 10 give you
here, a good dressing. Now that we Of the ca
nine race are beginning to star it, and raise up a
legitimate drama, in the place of your howdy
dowdy stuff, we shall have another guess sort Of
work-we shant come forward when you call us
and if you does hiss and be obstropolous at not
getting what you ought to be ashamed to ask for,
a lot OF us will spring among your legs, and with
our teeth make you set up such yelling, as shall
| be heard at the top Of the unfinished monument,
which your lollypop patriotism began. Shame
on you!


i Bruin here showed his teeth, and the confound-
ed multitude dispersed.
