The Denver Republican of Jan. 6th says: The most admirable feature of ,lA Stranger in a Strange Land," which was pre sented at the Tabor Grand last evening-, is that the play pos sesses a somewhat original idea. Theidca as presented inordinary English and without any pictures que embellishments, is that an ordinary tainily of sober and re spectable Britons is so ignorant regarding tho. geography and civilization of America that a scapegrace relative can impose upon a rich aunt and make her be lieve that he owns a large cattle ranch in Buffalo and that each morning he drives liis cattle acrosB the river to graze in Nebraska. From the aunt he obtains remit tances under the pretense that he needs money to keep his ranch running and when he returns to England he takes with him an Indian as living proof that he has been in America. Several men dacious friends of the young man, who arc anxious to assist him in the deception, bring m burlesque Indians and three acts are required to straighten matters out. This company will be at .Lloyd's opera house'tomorrow evenintr, Jan, 15th.
