As CHEAP AND PLEASANT a manner of passing
an afternoon, these dog days. is to take ferry
b. az, with ones wife and children, and travel
across, back and forth-all of which can be done
for ten cents a head. We speak only In the inter.
est of the public. II is an excellent pastime and
II we could advise, without being considered par
tai, we should say parrOnize the 0pelousas ferry
boat, which leaves every half hour from the levee
Ia front Of Jackson Square. This boat has good
band Of music aboard. the trip is quite lengthy,
aud the boat exceedingly commodious.

from Craps street, there was given by amateurs q
vaudeville entertainment, which proved success.
Being the first representation by our friends, We
well, we will say tive did not expect to see such
good acting. Mr.. G. G. deserves much credit for
having gotten up so good treat for his guests
his acting was excellent, and he was well assisted
by Messrs. +. p, W. B., 2. G. and N. B., who
we're above mediocrity in their respective cnarac.
ters. Miss A. D., also deserves much credit.
she was the only lady who volunteered TO act; and
such acting Oh jerusalem Ii was charming.
We predict that she will beat the acting OF our
friend, &. C., before long. and when our repre-
sentatives tells us that, in her character of Co.
Y'inne she moved his marble heart, our readers
may judge if she was bewtching or not. Messrs.
G. e. and W. B. closed the entertainment by play
ing - I'm Villain Monsieur" }" which was not TO be
beat, the latter gentleman acting part that well
becomes him. Let US have more of such enter
tlinments this dull summer, as we all in New Or.
leans now belong TO the can't get away club.
MAGNoLIA.-General Smedes invites Us to ball
and a supper, at the Central House, Magnolia, on
the Jackson Railroad, which he is 10 give on the
evening OF the nth inst. Not 10 know General
Smedes, in this Mississippi valley, is TO argue
ones self unknown. Wherever there is good
cheer, warm welcome, and delightful ball, any
where in Louisiana or Mississippi, credit Charles
f. Smedes as major domo. The isunt by the
Jackson Railroad is a safe, rapid. economical
and pleasant one. The ladies' Of New Orleans
will find belesi in the piney woods as rosy as well
dressed, as buxom and debOnaire, as their own
beautiful and distrLcting selves, and we advise
our readers that cen get away from town TO visit
Central House on the 18th inst.
