The Marble Heart.

The performance of the Marble Heart
at the st. Charles Theatre last evening
was witnessed by large audience, the
dress circle and parquette having but few
unoceupied seats. The representation was
given by the Orleans Dramatic Relief As
seciation tor the benefit of the sufferers by
the overflow. The matter was fully sue
cessful, as well in the pecuniary result as
in the excellent manner in which the drama
was portrayed. The Marble Heart" is
perhaps as difficult of effective rendering as
any play that now keeps the stage. 1t is
founded upon a farfetched idea, and there
are but few salient points through the
whole production. But it certainly did not
suffer in the hands of those who performed
it last evening; and the repeated applause
of the audience testified their appreciation
of the excellent acting.

THE VICE PRESIDENT.
A Disreputable Minor Journal Of New
York Again Lying. ....-

Hon. Schuyler Colfax has written the 1ol-
lowing letter to a gentleman in New York:
SOUTH BEND, Indiana, June >, 1871.
MY DEAR SIR am glad to tell you that
the Journey from Washington made me
stronger. and that here, in the quiet and
happiness of family and home, am regain
ing strength, which shall be guarded In the
future more than it has been In the past.
| think have studied out the causes of
the attack which Frustrated me SO suddenly
on the twenty-second OF May. bronchial
affection of several years standing, caused
Inv overmuch speaking in the open air, had
aggravated this spring into severe bron-
cbial catarrh, accompanied with slight
billions derangement. When the President
conyoked the Senate, l left for Washington
in such impaired health that told my fam
ily it was the first time in twenty years l
had gone to a post of duty with reluctance,
but that if l staid at home it would surely
be attributed, though unjustly, to hostility
to the pending treaty of peace and recon
ciliatiOn. Although occupying the chair
every day of the session, / was under med
ical treatment the whole time. And, SO far
from the statement being true which has
been so widely published and credited to
the New York San that smoked five or
six strong cigars that day on an empty
stomach" | smoked but one, just after
" W.
l have had three previous attacks of ver-
tigo two while speaking), and have been
warned by medical friends of the peril of
more dangerous attack, but have failed to
heed the warning. For the past ten years,
certainly since first elected to preside in the
House eight years ago, when my cOnstitu-
ency became wider than single district, l
have never risen in the morning, here or at
Washington, that | have not felt had
twice as mucn work to do that day as there
was really time for. A correspondence of
all conceivable inquiries and all kinds of
business, etc, often extending to hundreds
of letters per week, have attended to my
self, in addition to official duties, always in
hours stolen from rest, and frequently in
hours stolen from sleep. The very day |
was attacked, having felt the oppressive
atmosphere of the executive session more
unpleasantiy than usual, left it, and, going
TO my room, wrote a large number of letters
to catch up with the arrears of correspond
ence. Returning to the chair at z. NJ,
the blow fell ten minutes thereafter.
1t is the old story of mental strain, with
out relaxation. But, after this serious warn
ing, intend to ''mend my ways" and to re-
cOgnize that there is a limit which even the
strongest constitution will not allow to be
exceeded. ..tE
Let me, in conclusion, correct another er-
roneOus statement, that | was not able to
talk for week after the attack. Every
day eonversed with my physicians and at
tendants, but, feeling the necessity of quiet,
l declined cOnversing with nearly all others
who visited my room. Yours truly,
SCHUYLER COLFAX.

Gradually the time approaches when the
next single number drawing OF the Louis
lana State Lottery takes place. 1t is one of
those events wherein the fate of over four
hundred persons may be involved. There
are four hundred and forty prizes in this
lottery, many of them sufficient in amount
to make the possessor Of prize feel that he
is wealthy man; and any one OF them'
even unto the smallest in amount of money
drawn, would be calculated to relieve the
immediate wants of most persons, and, Ii
their aspirations are not too high, might
serve to establish them in business. For
this reason, it is well that all remember to
huv tickets.

Severe Hail Storm.

From the Bossier Banner, third instant
On Sunday night last occurred a storm
in this parish that has had few equals in Sc
verify. 1t was ushered in by continuous
lightning and a roar as of hundreds of small
cannon One could have read with ease by
the light of the lightning, so continuous
was it. After few minutes preparation
it burst on us in torrent of rain that has
rendered our creeks and bayous impossible
for several days. The centre of the storm
seems to have been at point some four
miles southwest of Bellevue. There clouds
from two directions seem to have met, and
within space of some four miles III length
by two in breadth the effects have been dis
astrous. There hail and wind accompanied
the rain. Our readers may judge of the
quantity of hail that fell from the fact that,
although so much rain fell with it, where
it had drifted in piles much of it could have
been picked up three days after 1t fell. The
wind was severe enough to PROSTATE great
tracts of forest, and by it and the hail hun
dreds of acres of corn and cotton have been
utterly ruined.
The planters who have suffered much are
David Platt, John +. Afford, n. +. McDade.
Daniel Hickman, E. X. Russ and I. and G.
Berry. A dozen others have been injured
greatly. Many fields are abandoned Others
again will be planted over in corn, peas and
cotton.
The lower road to Shreveport has been
rendered impossible to vehicles, and it is
estimated that the road hands will have to
work as much as five days to cleal it out
properly.
This was not strictly hurricane, and the
great effect of the wind in prostrating trees
was due to the fact that ground has been so
thoroughly wet during the whole month of
May, that they were easily turned up by
the roots. We hear of no houses blown
down, nor loss of human life. On Mr.. Russ
place a horse and mule were killed by
falling trees.
Hail storms are universally small in area;
and it is well that it is so, for what is more
destructive to the labors of the farmer

over others. They were put upon the naked
test of ability, and compelled to prove
their superiority in a fair competition with
their associates to win the coveted prizes.

EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING.-During the
thunder storm on Monday evening the
house of Mrs. Kicker, ON Seguin street, be-
tween Villere and Delaronde streets, in the
Fifth District, was struck by lightning and
received considerable damage. The Chin
ney was demolished, the clock and other
articles on the mantelpiece broken and the
furniture generally injured. The cistern in
the back yard was also split and damaged.
A little girl was knocked insensible, but
eventually recovered. No other person was
hurt. ... ...
About the same time the above occur
renee took place, the grocery store of John
Koepfer, at the corner of Palmyra ard
johnson streets, was also struck, the fluid
tearing hole in the wall near the chin
ney, knocking the furniture around and,
passing through the house, struck and
splintered the cistern. Although there
were ten people in the house no one was
injured.
At half past four o'clock, yesterday, the
house of George Carbon, No. 750 Magazine
street. was also struck by lightning, which
also demolished the chimney lightning al

damaged the roof

THE NEW ROUTE TO JACKsoN.-"ere IL
not for the recent bad weather the trips on
the jackson railroad, over water and land,
would become quite enjoyable. The pas
senger first goes on the well known Pont-
chartrain railroad to the lake, where he
goes aboard the Creole, bound for Manchac
Station. The bracing air of the lake, in the
two hours passage, quickens the appetite.
and he does full justice to the spread, for
which tickets are sold on board lie arrives
at Manchac in good spirits, and waits per
hans. impatiently for the shifting of the
baggage from the steamer to the cars before
continuing the journey.
There is another unavoidable delay after
the train starts beyond Manchac, owing to
the water on the track but if he can but
bnt ouell the American impulse OF gong
ahead at all hazards, and have as much
natience on a railroad as he has in other
places. these halts will give him little un-
easiness. The management have mastered
many difficulties, and take passengers
without unnecessary delays. Peaches and
other freight come in by the road in abun-
dance, going and coming, the same route as
passengers, without damage. Steamboats,
can not travel as independently as railways
