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.
