RlFrIE.-By reference to the advertisement it
will be seen that the rattle Of Faces painting of
Shyiock and Jessca will take place at 81 P. II. to-
day, at GRKER's bookstore. This painting is a
work OF art that would be an ornament to any pic
ture gallery, and as there are few chances not
yet taken We advise an ea.ly visit to GREER's and
an investment. The object Of the rattle is charity,
and the money thus spent will not be lost.
TURTLE Sour AND TRMmNas.-A raid was
made upon our Office yesterday morning, and for a
few moments we were taken completely by sur
prise, but quickly rallied our forces and advanced
toward the invader, who proved to be waiter
from FoRDHAM BRorHERs restaurant, bearing a
smoking bowl of turtle soup, fanked by pitcher
Of punch. Literature was for the nonce at a per-
foot discount, and papers and pens were hurriedly
moved to make way for the feast. Although our
ambition has never led us to aspire to an alder
mans seat, yet we discussed the aldermanic fare
with great gusto, and regretted that like most
earthly pleasures, it had an end. The soup was
excellent and the punch sublime, and when We had
rested from our labors, we felt that with such
stimulants we could smile st every fear and face
fowning world.
DEATH OF Mr. W. F. BRoUaH.-We see in our
exchanges the announcement Of the death OF this
gentleman, at Liverpool, on the 21st ult, at the
age Of 70 years. Mr.. BRoUaH was known long ago
as vocalist Of distinction, and, latterly, as
theatrical agent. He had arrived at Liverpool
from New York but three days previous to his
death. Mr. BRoUaH last visited New Orleans as
the agent Of the KEANs, who played farewell en-
gsgement at the st. Charles Theatre in January,
1885,.
Mr.. BRoUaH is well known to some Of our old
theatre-goers, having visited Charleston with the
seguin Opera Troupe, and subsequently Ls the
agent Of some English Opera companies. He was
genial and pleasant gentleman, and will be re-
membered by the many aoquaintances he formed
ut these visits.
