gcdy OF douglass ana " Inc secret, or the
Hole in the WALL" during the progress of
which the audience repeatedly testified their
interest by cheers and laughter. The corps is
rapidly improving, and the actors sustained
themselves in the very difficult parts Of the
tragedy much better than we anticipated. Mrs.
Nichols played Lady Randolph to perfection.
Possessing the happy faculty of adapting her.
self to the spirit of the play, she does up the
character she sustains in manner that would
do credit to any theatre Mr.. Nichols played
Norval we'll, but his inimitable "Thomas" :"
shows him much better suited to comedy than
tragedy. ... s
Mr.. Kedslie discovers much dramatic talent
he has fine conception of his part-and
played in good earnest. Old Norval was hin,
self, and looked the picture of ago and pru-
dencc.
All tho actors deserve much credit for their
improvement, and much may be expected in
their future performance. The painting and
scenery is fine would do credit to much
Older artist than our young friend Butler
We hope that the corps will be we'll sus.
tained by the citizens Of our town. We prom
ise all who may subscribe, ample compensation
for their money, and fun in abundance. If
sustained, this enterprise will have fine moral
effect on our town, and all should lend help
ing hand. Go reader, forthwith, and buy a
ticket. Mr.. Nichols will sell you one. 49,,
W- Charles Gayarre has published new
book, entitled "School for Politics" It is
written after the manner of dramatic novel.
1t is quite interesting on the first reading, but
bears a second perusal only tolerably. Per.
haps he did not intend that it should be read
more than once Itcontains some good things
and some species of our wire-pulling politicians
arc well hit off. But the reader cannot fail IL
detect some weak points. Mr.. Gayarre stand
at the head Of the literati Of our State, and
he does not sleep occasionally in his compost
ton, he is much more perfect than most au
thors. We recommend the work to our read
ere They viii DO well to get ii. 1-L--

HIRAM PowERs,-Among the appropriations
inserted in the Civil and Diplomatic bill by the
Senate and agreed to by the House, we learn
that there is one of $685. to enable the
President to give commission to Hiram Pow

We do not believe that there is room for a
deal Of astonishment by the people, at the ap-
parent disposition Of the majority Of the men,
bers of the General Assembly to remove the
seat Of Government from Baton Rouge to New
Orleans, and we think that disposition springs
almost entirely from want Of proper arrange
mcnts for the personal comfort of the members
and other officers of State who are compelled
to remain in Baton Rouge during the sessions
Of the Legislature.
Just think of it? The Capitol Of the State
Of Louisiana cannot afford but one establish
ment that can be classed as hotel-and it is
deserving Of that name only through courtesy.
We presume that this concern can afford Sleep
ing apartments for some 80 or Is persons, with
an ample supply of foul bcd-clothes, dirty nap
kins, and villainous bilge water to bathc their
eyes in, The other Iururies of the establish,
ment can be found in the dining room; in
the shape of rusty looking and stupid
walters, dirty wares, and an abundant supply
of tough beef, stale bread, and such other
scolloped slush-stuffs as the generous cook may
favor his guests with.
! Many of the members resort to tho smaller
tenements, where they procure the services Of
! servants to arrange their sleeping apartments
and provide them with such food as scanty
market can afford SO

AN ExpLANATloN.-In addressing jury
upon one occasion, the celebrated Mr.. jeffrey
found it necessary to make free with the char
acter of military officer, who was present
and austere during the whole haransue. Upon
hearing himself several times spoken of as
the soldier, the son of Mars, boiling with in
dignation, interrupted the pleader:
Don't call me soldier, sir; l am an eft

Mr.. Jeffery Immediately went on
"Well, gentlemen, this officer, rho is no

has occurred"

advices received through the spiritual media in
this city, peace will be declared in Europe on
