MISS PLACIDE's BENEFIT.-Among our New
Orleans theater goers there are none who have
not at one time or another had opportunity
to witness and admire the performances of
Miss Alice Placide. But it is not only in the
professional walks of theatrical life that this
lady talents have won for her hosts of friends
but in the work of charity and benevolence
her services have also, whenever called for.
been generously and unhesitatingly rendered.
In response we would bespeak for her from
the public worthy testimonial this evening
upon the occasion of a complimentary bene-
fit at the Varieties Theater, rendered her
by committee of prominent citizens. To
see her as Lucrezia Borgd, supported by an
amateur company, fully competent, will
prove, we doubt not, pleasing oasis in the
dullness Of these summer nights. The farce
of the "Swiss SWANS" will also be played.

Dennis Burrell, the colored representative
in the House, from st. John the Baptist, in the
debate yesterday about that section of the
police bill which gives to policemen and the
police board power to arrest, and in default
of bail to imprison witnesses, said that having
been freed by act of Congress, he was unwil-
ling now to again sell himself into slavery to
any set of men whatever, even if they were
called policemen-and therefore opposed the
donating of any such arbitrary powers to any
men or set ofmen. Colored men of Louisiana,
this remark from one of your own race should
set you to thinking as to whether you have not
sold yourselves again into slavery to body
of men called the Radical party. Reflect if
whether with your oaths to support the Loyal
League, your solemn obligations to uphold
the Grand Army of the Republic, both organ
izations formed and kept in existence by the
Radical leaders solely tor their own aggran-
dizement, you have not sold yourselves to task
masters harder than those you served before
the war; to men who ask from you more, and
who give you less than ever did the overseer
of the worst ruled plantation in the South in
ante-bellum times. Think then upon this,
use your reason and judge whetheryou should
not at once break these chains so CALLING and
so disgraceful, whether you ought not now,
before it is too late, throw off the yoke of
those men, who, protesting love to you, use
you but for their own selfish purposes; who,
when you have given them what they ask.
your votes, will be unable and unwilling to
pay the promised price for them, and who will
when you can no longer be useful to them,
throw you away like worn out garment.
Colored men of Louisiana think.

THE CHIVALRoCs SOCTHRoN. The chival
rous Southron is great in his own eyes not on
" because he is what he is, but because he
lives where he lives In these modern times
there is no other civilized creature so local, and,
if | may be offensive, so provincial, in senti-
ments, opinions, preiudices, and vanities, as he.
The Turks are hardly more incapable of con-
ceiving that people born afar off may be as good
as themselves. At least part of the contempt
Of the Southerners for Yankees arises from the
fact that the latter drew their first breath sew
eral hundred miles from the land of cotton.
Imagine the scorn with which they would re-
gard an adventurer from the Milky Way A
friend of mine asserts that, if the South Caro-
linians should once become satisfied that the
New Jerusalem is outside of their State, they
would not want to go to it. Let us charitaby

THE STORY OFAPOPULAR SONG.

w. W., in the IStdtioner, gives the following
account of the singing of Father, Come
Home" in one of the music halls of London:
The admission is sixpence. There was a
very neat stage, with gaudy drop scenes, side
wings, and a tOlerably good orchestra. In the
stalls sat the chairman to keep order over as
motley a crowd as ever was seen out Of the gal
lery of the Victoria Theatre. All appeared
plentifully supplied with porter, and all were
enjoying their pipes to such an extent as to
make the place almost suffOcating; for there
must have been an audience OF nearly live hun
dred A "nigger walk round" was Just being
finished, and the shouts of encore, whistng
and stamping of feet made the hall perfectly
bewildcring. A name was announced by the
chairman, and amidst clapping of hands and
stamping Of feet, there was buzz of This is
the song!' The walters called loudly, ANY
more orders?" and these being taken and duly
executed, all seemed to settle down quietly to
listen to the song. There was the symphony,
and another buzz of {" this is it, b" and we began
to feel anxious. Presently female came in
front of the curtain and commenced Father,
dear father etc Every word was distinct
and she sang the ballad with great feeling. In
order, however, to fully describe the scene
which followed each verse, it is necessary tC
give little Mary song:
Father, dear father, come home with me now,
The clock in the steepe strikes one IRonel
You promised dear father that you would come home'
As soon as your days work was done.
Our fire has gone Out-our house is all dark
And mothers been watching since tea,
| With poor little Benny so sick in her arms
| And no one to help her but me.
| Come home come homo, come home.
| Come father, dear father, come home.
At the conclusion of the last line the drop
scene drew up, disclosing the father sitting a
the door of public house, in drunken, be
muddled state, with a pipe and pot befOr
him. Little Mary was trying to drag him froII
his seat, at the same time pointing to curtal
behind as she took up the refrain from the !;
DIV, and touchingly said, Come home, et
This other curtain was drawn aside, disclosin

simultaneously with the drawing of the curta

TIE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD will be
seen by the new advertisement of the Compa-
nv in another column, that 96O miles of the
Union Pacific Railroad have been completed
and put into active operation For 100 miles
more the track is graded, and the iron on the
ground ready for laying. More than four hun
dred miles have been built in the season of 1868
and with less than 400 miles now intervening
between the rails of the Union Pacific and the
Central Pacific Companies, every indication
gurantees the opening Of the entire line to the
Pacific in the earl summer of 1869 The
earnings for the year ending June 80, were
more than four million dollars, on an average
of 472 miles in operation; and the earnings
for the last five months were So, 1856, $40. These
amounts are so largely in excess of the labili-
ties of the Company on account of interest
upon its own First Mortgage Bonds and the
Government bonds loaned to it as a subsidy,
as to allow of no doubt that all such liabilities
will be promptly met when due The road is
well equipped, and large orders have been Civ
en- for such an increase of rolling stock as will
be necessary when to the local trade is added
the immense through traffic which must follow
the opening of the entire line.
| Each section of twenty miles has been criti-
cally examined by the regular Government in
| spectors appointed for the purpose, and report
ed to the President as possessing all the char
acterlstics OF a first class road. A special COM
mission, appointed by the President in Sep
tember last, made thorough re-examination of
$50 miles, and summed up their conclusions by
saying:
Taken as a whole, the Union Pacific Rail
road has been we'll constructed. The general
route for the line has been well selected, cross
ing the Rocky Mountains at some of the most
favorable passes on the continent The energy
and perseverance with which the work has
been urged forward, and the rapidity with
which it has been executed, are without paral
lei in history. The country has reason to con
, gratuate itself that this great work of nation
: al Importance is SO rapidly approaching com
pletion, under such favorable auspices
The evidence of many other able and critica
4 examiners of the road comedies with this tes
: timony to the faithIulness with which the roaC
: has been constructed. The First Mortgage
!, Bonds of the Company are now offered for sal
at par and accrued interest, at which price the,
pay high rate Of interest. Both principa
and interest being fully secured by the valu
of the road and the extent of its business,
would seem that no better investment can b
offered and we cheerfully call attention TO tn
facts set forth in the advertisement of tn

HAIR WAsHEs.-lt is only right to refer to
a source of possible disease, which is peculiar
ly widespread just now, and against which the
public should be cautioned. At present there
is quite rage for the use Of chair washes y
and "restorers, which, whilst the charge of

The active agent in these washes is of course
lead. In the majority of cases probable, a
moderate use of such lotion would be unat-

boring that palsy has been known to be pro-

containing lead. But of the thousands of per-
