st. Charles Theatre.

La Rue's Carnival Minstrels commenced
their feast Of fun at the "Old Drury" on
Monday evening; and judging from the
manner in which the people flock there
nightly, the carnival after Lent bids fair to
be extended beyond the usual twelve days
festival that precedes Lent. We know our
people have taste for the genuine in all
things, but particularly in things that relate
to art and the artifcer; particularly in those
who successfully contrive to entertain them.
They hocked to see Lotta, the Lydia
Thompson Troupe, Lefingwell, Jefferson,
and other "stars" that lit mp for the
time being, the theatrical armament of New
Orleans. But it will have to be conceded
that the management of the St. Charles is
either in luck, or has great judgment IN
catering for public amusement, for it has
managed to have one brilliant entertain
ment succeed another throughout the entire
season, until now, when it is about drawing to
q close, galaxy of stars appears to electrify
those who, having rejoiced in the former
successes" Of the st. Charles, felt content
with what they had seen and heard, believ-
ing, no doubt, that the management" had
exhausted itself when the Morlacchi
troupe left. If they have believed
SO they have been mistaken; for
of all ''the successes" that have held the
public spell-bound for the time being,
during the present season, none opened
with fairer prospect of having the spell
continue than La Rue's Carnival Mlnstres.

give him credit for more pluck than talent
in this line. at this particular juncture in
political affairs, for he must recOllect that
much legislative talent has lately been devel.
oped, and it requires pluck to attempt to de-
plct it. The JOKES perpetrated thus far, have
not had the ring ofre5hness about them that
characterized the witsff the Lydia Thomp-
son troupe. but all must be convinced who
have seen them that there is wit III the La
Rue troupe, as we'll as song" and ''the
poetry OF motion" We can not be expected
to enumerate all the many things that are
done by them, but when we say there is at
least dozen OF these gentlemen and that
each is star of the first magnitude in his
line, the public have reason to know there
ia something attractive there; that the
theatrical season of the St. Charles is likely
to end as successfully as it commenced, un-
der management that has always en-
deavored to obtain the best talent that
could be secured for the edication and
Amusement Of the public. Go and see the

PROGRESS OF THE LAKE SHORE Road
We copy from the Times of last evening,
the subjoined sketch of the progress of the
Chattanooga Railroad:
The Chattanoogans now say that they will
not be able to take the population of the
city to the watering places for this year, but
they will be able TO bring them back. In
other words, the opening day for the rail
road is set down for the fourth of July.
Whether the daily schedule will then be il.
troduced, remains yet to be determined.
III this city the laying Of the track has al
ready progressed from point above st. Jo-
seph street to Toulouse, or almost opposite
Jackson Square. Continuing on down the
Pontchartrain Railroad to the old Luzenburg
Hospital, the earth embankments are seen
for the first time. From this point through
the Louisiana LoWlands-through Greary
swamps and marshes, unknown at present
except to the hunters and the railroad gangs,
who have IN this work been the pioneers of
civilization, the road continues to the Rigo.
lets.
At this point the Chattanoogans have
successfully accomplished, iu bridging the
lake, what XerXes with his three million
soldiers failed to do with the Hel!eSpont-a
similar body of water. The freshly hewn
piers and timbers now stretch like line of
new Notifications across the water, and
may be said to have been already inaugu.
rated with the death immolation tone of>the
first men who crossed lt)' which charac ter
izes almost every new undertaking.
The new road is, of course, the great
eveEl at the watering places, and every one
is looking forward to the time when the con-
necton with this city will be abridged to
three or four hours. A good many trans
Pontchsrtrsin residents have an idea that
real estate will greatly increase in value,
and that the residences, from being along
the shore, will be al transferred to the
neighborhood of the depots; but the houses
have not commenced wheeling into line as
yet, and property will not probably double
in value great many times for month or
two to come.
