Admittance rs Cents.
A statue Of surpassing merit. Its power and
gathos are independent Of time, place. and condition
The charm and power Of the statue consist in the
amazing truth with which the two great elements Of
humanity and mortality are delineated The artist
gives us all the pathos and the tragedy Of death,
without its ghastness and horror We feel ourselves
In the presence Of that awful power before whose icy
sceptre all mortal distinctions are levellcd No statue
was ever more marked by simplicity. Nothing has
been done forefsct. No vulgar applause is coIrted
observed" HiQarFs Sir Aonths IN Laly.
"A wonderful production Of art Its simplicity is
such that it does not strike at FIRST the admiration
comes sfterward, and in tide sufficiently deep and
strong II is the moment Of exhaustion, Of fintness
Of death. Mrs. Ellis
This statue is ndissolubly associated with Byron's
immortal stanza:
see before me the Gladiator lie:
He leans upon his hand; his manly brow
Consents to DEATH but conquers agony;
And his droop'd head sinks gradually low,
And through his side the last drops, ebbing slow
From the red CASH fall heavy, one by one,
The arena swims around him he is gone
Ere ceased the thurman shout which hailed the
wretch who won.
He heard it, but he needed not his eyes
Were with his heart, and that was far away
He reck d not of the life he lost, nor prize,
But where his rude hut by the Danube lay.
There were his young barbarians all at play;
There was their Dacian mother he their sire,
Butchered to make Roman hoyday.
All this rush'd with his blood Shall he expire,
And unavengedf Arise, ye Cloths, and gut your
ire.

The FRUITs OF WAR.-A letter
from Rev. VIM. G. SHAuFLER, of Con-
stantinople, draws melancholy picture
of the distress which the Eastern War
has already occasioped among the
poorer classes Of Constantinople He
says there is no commerce, no bust
ness going on, but little money to be
seen, and thousands of human beings
are dying, OF hunger, thirst, nakeduess
and disease. Rats and mice are eaten
by many to allay the cravings ofhun-
GER and people who but a few months
since were Comparatively rich in world
ly goods, now beg for bread. Mr..
ShauAer in Constantinople, through
all the horrors of war, pestilence, and
famine, he has never seen such dis
tress as now exists.

number Of our talented young friends
mostly natives Of the place. who are

termination that must be crowned
with success, for the ways and means tc

trionic Society in Baton Rouge. How
much the heart as wen as the head Of

a society, cannot be we'll estimated in
Ggares There is no more propitious

ly demanded. That place Of the
size Of the Capital Of this State-a
place that at least 5000 people de-
pend Upon for pleasure and happiness,
should be devoid Of any rational pub
lie amusement is something that with
our vision cannot be comprehended.
Does any Capitalist desire to be con-
WINGED in figures that a well ordered
temple dedicated to the Muses. will pay
a handsome per centage; let him use
his own chalk with any reasoning upon
facts and firm data, and he will con-
vince himself by very simple rules
Why it is that Baton Rouge has lived
to its present period Of history without
a Theatre, or even public Hall, is
something that cannot be accounted for
in our philosophy. Buildings are 60
ing up all around us-costly and COM
modious buildings, but all for the sole
purpose Of trade and traffic. In this
respect the city is at least half q cen
fury in advance of the country around
it. We have store houses, and ware
houses, coffee houses, and boarding
houses and may we not also say houses
enough dedicated to the service of the
Most High, but which alas. in many
instances tend. to break that social
bond, which should unite the commu-
nifty in a common bond. The Drama
in its legitimate sphere, with its touch
ing pathos, and soul stirring music, is
as necessary in its place, for present
Of soul and body, as
either, or all of these. We wish the
young gentlemen now engaged in get
ing up the Histrionics, all manner of
success, and feel confident that if they
make proper showing of their de-
termination to go ahead" that it will
'ot be long before such a building as
$ now imperitively demanded will be
