FRITZ. THE IMMIGRANT.

Charles Gaylor, the popular author and
dranatist, has presented to the New Or
leans public a specimen of immigrant
from the Fatherland, which may be taken
as a model of what is wanted in the
country generally, and in Louisiana and
the South especially. His play, "Fritz,
our German Cousin" has been very justly
Landed by the press and the public, as a
literary performance of high order OF
merit. It's good points as a dramatic
piece, and MIR. Emmets judicious and
skillful delineations have all been duly
noted; the dancing, singing, wit and the
other attractions have occupied the
attention of the critics. But the moral
lesson conveyed By the author appears to
have been generally overlooked OF
neglected. The chief character
in the play, Fjts, es present
ed by Mr.. Gaylor, lads upon
our shores at Castle Garden, blessed with
fair share of native intelligence, a strong.
brave heart, and determination to pro-
vide himself home as soon as possible.
Being possessed of but limited means, and
scarcely any knowledge of the language
he is Of course beset with difficulties and
perplexities at the outset, which would
discourage less determined character.
His honest impulses and manly spirit Of
independence, however, sustain him well
in the midst of his trials, while his ready
wit, natural accomplishments and good
sense, enable him to defeat the machina-
tions of his enemies, and those of his aft
ancee Katrina. Being compelled by the
abduction of the latter to remain in New
York for the purpose Of discovering
where they have concealed her be
accepts, partly with view to
profit, but chiefly to assist in. his

stage of the "Great National Concert
Hail." an establishment of a rather low
order. Here is afforded the opportunity
for the actor to show his excellent talents
and versatility. And while this part Of the
performance is to many, no doubt, the
feature of the whole play. it is. in fact, a
mere episode. that has but little to do with
the future career of the hero. The third
act shows Fritz, after the lapse of seven
years, the happy possessor of a prosperous
mill in the country, the faithful husband
of his beautiful Katrina, and the fond father
of his little Schneider. Surrounded by
every comfort, and increasing bis small
means from day to day by his industry and
fair dealing, and enjoying the confidence
and esteem of the villagers, Ffit5 presents
a picture of thrift, honor, virtue. and hap
piness. which many Of the weather. might
well envy.
His is an elevated type Of character.
He is not put upon the stage merely to be
made fun Of, but to instruct the people
an show the logical results Of an upright
course; determination to achieve hon
orable independence, and build up a name
and home to be transmitted to his pos
terity. Such is Fritz, with his mill,
his vile, his Schneider, and the love
his neighbors bear him. He is good ex-
emplar for his coming countrymen, and
one in whom the older residents of Faith
erlaud may feel just and honest pride.
He is 90 rich In his domestic treasures that
not all the wealth of Wall street
could tempt him to part with them,
and look to the designations OF the
great city for pleasure and amusement.
And we believe that with a little
encouragement and assistance thou
sands of just such Fritzes can be per-
suaded to come to Louisiana. We are in
great need of exactly such citizens, and we
hope that some may be made out of the
material we already have. There are
Katrinas in plenty to be had by the right
sort of young men for. the asking. To-
gether they can bring all the rest about in
a very few years by industry and economy.
A career of the kind is more inviting 10
the young, friendless immigrant, with no
fortune but health, strength and a good
heart, than any that is likely to be found
in a great CITY.

The GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN PAVING.-Fe"
persons who have visited Lafayette Square
during the past twelve months can have
failed noticing the splendid pavement on
the eastern side of the main walk, winch
was put down by Messrs. Page d Co., last
year. Having withstood the heat OF the
summer-unusually intense-the effects OF
the.damp, greater than was ever known here
before, in winter, and the assaults OF the
cocoa grass no mean enemy for so long,
stamps it as the best thing OF the kind yet
introduced into this section, as it long ago
WAS pronounced at the North. There is no
mistake about its possessing all the follow
ing recommendations: Durability, lmper-
yiousness to dampness and grass, as well as
to noxious vapors from the earth, and Is
laid down cheaply or taken up with equal
facility. We sincerely wish our fellow-citi-

terests, provided a reasonable price be
obtained for them, and the faith of the
State and city toward the bondhoiders be
scrupulously preserved. But we do most
energetically and solemnly protest against
any sacrifice of the city's Interests
in this matter. The taxpayers OF New
Orleans are bound to pay the interest on
the bonds issued in payment for this
stock, and they have a right to a. least
decent protection on the part of their
representatives. We trust that the new
city government will not allow itself to be
manipulated for the benefit of any aspi-
rants to the control of the Jackson bali
road.

Secretary Boutwell, and Commissioner
Delano had quite long conference on the
income tax three or four days ago. The
Secretary was in favor Of the continuation
of the tax for the present year, but the Com
missioner said that the public pressure for
it's modification or repeal was so great that
he was inclined to favor a reduction of the
rate and also an increase of the exemptions.
Both had learned that the Ways and Means
Committee we're disposed to make a reduc-
ton, but not to abolish the tax.
