The attraction at the National Theatre Mon­ day night anil thr.'Uidiont Ihe week will ho "Ou tho Trail," <i dr.irna of life in the early ttftjs of Kentucky, yith the character of Daniel Borme, the pioneer, as the central figure. The play deals with, thu wild life of the Western border and in an interesting story. It was written by Mr. Charles Gay lor, who lias taken aa the basis t;f tlio story e-nia histuriral incidents of early dftysnlwng ih*» Ohio, and 1ms introtlticeil some notaUe

The play opens in lioone'a early home, irhioh fs in dungor of an TuiHan attack, and introduces Bonne'* daughter fcVsie and hct JOVCT, Ciipt-iin Goodloe. The India n«t let hy (jirf//, attack the cabin, un 1 afibr Attirillin^ combat ihh women ;ire abducted and taken to the front. The second act dealt) w.th the life of S»*if Boom> and her c'.an.'auioa Ltlly in the Ii^lmn'a cove, and the atten>iits made to rescue them by fr-xnu1, Goodtoe and their companions. This gives a series of stirring and exciting eceuoa, nnd after a number of hiUr-l'iYAdtli escapes the girh are rescued. A notable feature i* tho duel »n horseback between Keitton and tha Indian cMef. Girtij in the Ut,t act renews )>ij &t~ tempts to abduct Sttnic, but is foiled at all points and Is oTentiuliy killed by ZJoo.ie, which eiids the Ktru^vle and the pioneers are h*pvy. Th^ comedy element is eupplied I)}- ntt IiislnnAn and a negro, and their acts are purh us to make ample fun ihr»uibout tlie p'ay. A band, of gt nnine Iniliuni givt-s u ri-alibtic touch to tho pictar. 3 i-f Wt-stern lir'o. The piece is full of ginger from beginning to end and vill be pure of i warm wel­ come by the patron a of the National.

Messrs. Peck & Fursman have in their Indian contingent chiefa, brave?, squaws and a popoo^e, nud the other adjuncts include trained Kentucky In -rseu, brnnrlioa, mnstaiips, a bear and an educated donkey. If "On Iho Trtui" is nut a booming flucces.', it will cer­ tainly not ho f»r lack of realistic acceacoriea supplied fcy its enterprising proprietors.

The next attraction at the National will be Charles Giul-r'e molotirama of New York life, entitled "Lights aud Shadows." '

Minnie Palmer, with abundant reason for con­ tentment arising from her almost unlimited prosperity during her recent tour of Great Britain an 4 Ireland, and the brilliant seconding of tlie i-ame during her aen- ion in this country, returns to the Walnut Street Thea­ tre on JIoii-ln.v nigUt fti;d \vill appear on its etaj:e in tiio Bubetdiititil euccess of last year, '*My Brother's Sis­ ter.'

The world-renowned comedienne will meet witli a glowing re.tet>lion, f--r the majority of her wii'Ji- ences will remember tlnit she is a Plina^olphin girl a^d ber earlier eutcesses were made in her native city. Moreover, ail who aro cognizant of theatric matters know thtit she hue honored her chosen profo^iou l>y a life both on und ott the stage of singular honesty of purfH:ee and execution.

That Minnie Palmer has gained a great deal Jn her art uf Lite one must believe from the constant and distinct Hfm-ement ot ail tie critics of the cities in which she hm npprtired; thiit she hiw grown iu j) pultirity is «]ually utie^ted by the fwvor with which fch»* is eyerywhero ro:eiv< tl, the- current seiiSon l-eing tlf 1 eat ahe has ever (spcrience-J.
