A New Napoleon
Il before the world, inthe person Of young Portu'
euese pianist, Arthur Napoleon" ID years OF age,
Who i giving soiree musicaIes in New York It
would not be astonishing if he should claim to be
A prince and a simonpure Buonaparte. Il manager
UIlman owned him he would be prince as sure as
PiCoolomini is a princess. Barry Sullivan, newly
imported tragedian, Of whom the English press has
spoken highly, was to make his first appearance in
America at the Broadway on Monday night last, IN
the character Of Hgnslet. ON the same night the
new Gabriel and Francois Rave troupe were to make
their first appearance at Niblos Garden after years
absence iii Europe. We hope that we shall see them
in New Orleans this season Music is highly appre-
cated down among the Portuguese Americans Of
Brazil if we may judge from the prices pat upon It
by the management of the opera house Of Rio
Janeiro the cost Of seats in which is as follows
First tier boxes, $50 second tier, $40 third tier
sl5 fourth tier, s8. Last seats without boxes, So

Barry Sullivan,
The tragedian who made his debut in America at
the Broadway last night week, quite took the critics
by Storm as after seeing his Hamlet they decided BY
general consent that notwithstanding his prizefgbt
inqsh name he was an actor, scholar, and gentle
man They say that he is free from rant and man
nersD is novel but truthful, and, short quite the
hone Of the living drama, which, as all the world
knows is ever trembling the brink of dissolution
70 be snatched back from impending annhilation by
some new Light who opportunely rises to rescuei as
Mi. Barry sullivan has. He isl says the Tribune,
and the Herald and Times agree in such opinion,
the finest actor that England has sent US for many
year"
Deeeptlvely Truthful.
The last number Of Harper's Monthly brings Porte
Crayon the clever sketcher with pen and pencil who
Is doinea Winter in the South to our city, and
lodges him at the ST. Lonis, where he bids gus good
night for the chapter after pausing to throw Oft one
sketch Of New Orleans scenery. This sketch, though
perfectly correct, will induce Northern readers who
know no better, to believe that New Orleans is fairly
embowered in palm trees and other tropical pro
duetions for the prominent feature in it is about the
only palm tree ia the city Porte Crayon clever fell
low, came South in search Of the tropical and deter
mined not to be disappointed, be sought out almost
the only specimen, and his sketch will convey the
impression that palm trees naturally and inevitably
constitute chief part Of Southern scenery.
