One thought must arise when the reader
learns that the Cable has carried some words
from Trinity Bay to Valentia: that thought ma
turalIy takes heinterrogative form, and resolves
itself into sentence, thus-"W hat is De Sauty

gave an engraving of him, the other day, but the
artist adro;tly presented only back view of a
tall individual with long hair and 5one of the
broad brimmed hats usually worn by the repor-
torial corps Of the New York Tribune. In fact,
the artist only imagined a De Sauty, and placed
him fiddling with the telegraph wires, greatly
occupied in doing nothing. So, in some editions
of "Junius," an engraved frontispiece shows a
gentleman With,the star of Knighthood upon his
breast, aud veil drawn across his face so as to
disclose no single feature by which he could be
recognized.

ST. CHARLES THEATER.-FIrSt Night of Miss
-Auonia Jones.-A new aspirant to hstrionic fame
and one whose aspirations have been signally sue
cessful wherever she has as yet appeared = to
make her debut at the st. Charles tonight. We have
already repeated to our readers some of the high
encomiums lavished upon Miss Avonia Jones by dis
eliminating dramatic critics in other cities: udg-
ments so evidently sincere, and coming from sources
so respectabe-not to mention verbal informations
from friends who have seen her up the country
that we have had hesitation in recommending her,
in advance as an actress who would crafty and de-
light our theatrical population.
Still, when we reflect how much is required to
build up the successful actress process which ordi
narly involves no nconsiderable period of time-and
how shert time Miss Jones has been on the stage,
we are tempted to doubt the justice of the praise
that hns been lavshed upon her. respectable as it is
We therefore await, with no little interest," her first
appearance before the New Orleans public tonight
She is to appear as Blanche in Mrs Mowatts play Of
" Armand or the Peer and the Peasant In regard
to Miss Jones acting in this play, we may with pro-
priety suboin the following extract from a critical
notice of the erudte editor of the st. Louis Leader
We said, last Sunday, that we thought Miss Avonia
Jones q peculiarly refined and ady-like person, but
that we had not her act, not considering Ingo
mar anything in which acting could take place.
Miss Jones is a handsome young girl, who seems
to have preserved her woman-nature uncontamnate
She looks and acts like lady. Her very defects
seem to result from youth and deicacy her faults
are those of natural refinement, which against
the necessity of appearing in public.
We went last night to see play called Armand
or the Peer and the Peasant. We did not see all
because our patience gave out but did watch the
young lady, of whom we write, through one act, in
which she faints or dies, we don't know which, and
we were eminently struck by the humanity of hel
acting in that. She did not gasp, nor fling herself
about the stage nor grunt, nhale with unnatura
inspiration, nor kick nor shrek in demoniac tones
"a,haha ~ but she fell and tainted lady, whost
heart has been broken by her suitors unwOrthiness
might fall or faint. Every act gesture and posture
was refined, yet girllike-passionate, yet with tht
passion controlled by refined aims and habits-strong
yet none the less delicate for being strong She, il
word played perfectly well the part which we have
described above, that of a human, refined woman
We will not call her great actress because she is
beautiful young woman Of much promise /; but w
will profess our hope Of seeing her rise like life
boat above the coarse surges Of popular applause
and by earnest religious study of the art that sh
processes, become Of those grand units of whicl
Rachel was and Ristori is the only planet.
