"THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS.”

Tn the beautiful valley the maidens, Indian and white, laid a carpet of white blooms on the grave of Cora; while on the majestic hilltop the Delaware braves paid their final tribute to the last of the Mohicans. Tamenund, looking on from afar off, bewailed the passing of a noble tribe. “In the morning of my race I have seen a winged ship arrive, bearing the white men who are to become the masters of our land; and before the sunset. I have seen the passing of the hist of the Mohicans!” And as the sun sank behind the distant hills, to the wailing of the maiden-mourners, the golden sky threw up in dusky silhouette the imobile figures of the stalwart braves who in last, rites speeded the Spirit of Uncas the Blameless to the Happy Hunting Grounds. “The Last of the Mohicans,” Fenimore Cooper’s drama eternal of the Bed Indian —an unforgettable epic of wondrous beauty, the master-pro-duction of a genius, Maurice Tourneaur, will be shown at the Royal Theatre to-night, at prices of Is and 2s, plus tax, children half-price.
