Street distractions.

The Administrator of Police, Captain
Lewis, having taken the necessary measures
to enforce the city ordinance relating to the
passing of cattle through the streets and
thoroughfares, is now about to obviate other
distractions in the streets, particularly in
the business parts of the city. A commu-
nication has been sent by Administrator
Lewis to the acting Superintendent Of Po-
lice, Major Robinson, relating to his CO.
operation in the matter. Administrator
Lewis states that the attention Of the De
partment of Police has been called to the
manner in which street railroads are OBJ
structed by ootton-foats, drays, etc., par
ticularly On Camp street, and on Magazine
street, from Poydras to Common street,

Academy Of Music,

The Gazette ComiGue Troupe commenced
their second engagement this season at the
Academy on Monday evening last, and wero
greeted with /. full house 10 welcome their
return.
The theatre has been nightly filed since,
and, ii we are to judge OF the enthusiasm
evinced by the spectators as an indication
of the satisfaction produced, it is more than
likely the second engagement of this troupe
will prove as successful as the first. Most
of the old favorites have returned, and with
them have come some new candidates for
public favor.
Miss Jennie Engei will lead off In song,
and is just as captivating as ever. And
then there are number Of others who have
made their impressions il some way or
other that can not be easily effaced.
Take, for instance, Mile. Rosa and Ada
Boshcll in ia Zingara." They ore be-
witchingly graceful and never fail to please.
Then comes Miss Elise Scott. She, too.
moves in sylph-like way, and dances in
beautiful style. But the coup de grace of
dancing ia not accomplished until Mile.
Catana, Nile. Elise, Mile. AntoniDe. Mile.
Rosa, Miss Birch, Miss Boshell and the
whole corps de ballet have appeared in
some grand ballet. Then the stage fairly
gItters with these fairy-like creatures as
they whirl through the dance.
The variety of perform.~-snco is what makes
the Gazette Comi.1ue Troupe so popular.
Almost evcsry member of this troupe has a
speciality in which he or she is considered
good, and the whole make up !, group Of
specialities that can not fail to please.
Billy Carter, as jokist, banjo-player, and
comic singer, model Yankee, never fails
to amuse AID often cenvulse the house with
Laughter.
Cool Burgess, if not Of the quiet, quaint
+ order that marks the style Of Carriers per-
Torrance, is certainly some in his peculiar
way. He has much force in him. and, to
use holnely Comparison, elbows like, a
porpoise." You can not be convinced OF
his full force without seeing and hearing
him: Cool Burgess is certainly an oddity,
and if he fails to become o favorite, it will
be because he is not handsome.
William Carleton is a fair Irish carica-
turist, and sings and dances we'll. The per
for1nance on the Etrapeze by the great
Romelli Family is as daring as could be de-
sired. The feats of Prince Sadi D. Jarma
the man serpent, are rather astonishing
and we'll worth seeing.
We have not space to speak Of each indi
vidual member of the Gazette Comique
Troupe as they appear at this time, but can
assure the public they make, combined, a
lively evenings entertainment, that does
not fail to please and amuse.
We would like to say q word to those per
sons who are in the habit Of interfering
with the proper conclusion of the perfor
mances, by getting up to leave before they
are over. It ia wrong to do go. 1t not only
mars the performance, but it indicates bad
nanhers.

PLAYING LHGIsLA1oR-ELEcr.-O day
Last week, man who used the name OF
Houston, made himself agreeable among
gentlemen who are to sit in the next ses-
aion of our Legislature. He represented
himself as memberelect from one Of the
Felicias, but quite fat broke, financially, as
he had spent all his loose change in cleo
pioneering for Office. He was willing TO
pledge his word and pay, for the loan OF q
few dollars. Messrs. Whitney, Pinkney
Smith, and one or two others, accommoda-
ted the applicant, especially, as J. White IN
part vouched for him to Senator Whitney.
Mr.. Houston replenished his exchequer. and
then disappeared. Time developed the fact
that Houston was an impostor, when war
rant was issued tor his arrest. Yesterday
he was found, although it was supposed no
had left the city. The same warrant took
in Mr.. White. It now turns out that hous-
ton is 40 less a parsonage than Z. +. Kan
do'ph, special patrolman on the Metropol-
