HOOley,s NIinstrels.


We have, in the past three or four years,
had surfeit of mediocre Ethiopian per
formances, and had concluded that burnt
cork would find little sympathy and less
patronage here in the future; but when
such well known and extraordinary artists
visit us, it Is only natural that an inquisi-
tive desire to see the best minstrel company
IN the country should be aroused, and the
opportunity of seeing them eagerly sought
To any one familiar with all the great
lights of burnt cork, the programme of
Hooley's will be read with intense satisfac
ton. Such a collection of acknowledged
artists has never assembled on any stage in
this city. Eugene, Unsworth, Griffin,
Charley White, Rice, Mulligan, Brandis,
Nichols, Basquin, and, in fact, each and
every performer in the bill is guarantee of
the character and quality of the perform
ance to be given. The first part, vocal and
instrumental; the end man, the middle man,
the various acts and sketches, and the great
burlesque opera of III TrovatOre," all indi-
is foreign to any other company in existence
except HoOley's. Every position in every
department is represented by the best talent
in this country, and there can be no ques-
ton as to the success of this superb band.
Seats are going very rapidly, and an
ovation will welcome the star troupe of
America on their first visit to the Crescent

THE NEW STEAM FIRE ENGINE.-There
was great excitement in Algiers on Sunday
morning about the new steam fire eng inc
which has been provided for Pelican Fire
Company No. l. The new 'merchine" was
to be tried carly in the morning at the foot
of Canal street, near the iron building,
previously to being transported across the
river TO its future home. Immense crowds
crossed from Algiers to this side. All the
boys who could get leave of absence from
home, and all who couldn't, were in the
crowd.
1t is useless to describe the new engine
with minuteness; it was like the other en-
gines which abound throughout the city,
and promises to be fully as efficient. The
trial was pronounced by good judges to be
highly satisfactory. The engine was then
taken across the river and subjected to an
other trial, greatly to the delight OF large
portion of feminine and infantile Algiers,
who were assembled to witness the phenOm-
.enon. This trial was fully as satisfactory
as the former one. We congratulate Pelican
No. on their possession of this splendid
Z! instrument"

The IOnia Conclave festival, at the Fair
Grounds, on Sunday, was greatly retarded,
and to great extent spoiled, by the rain,
which, occurring in the morning, threatened
to continue all day. About three o'clock
the managers concluded to let the affair go
on. as people began to arrive. There were
eventually about six hundred people on the
ground, but the smallness Of the number
did not prevent things from going merry
and pleasantly and continuing until late
hour.
One of the most interesting features of
the festival was the game between the Lone
Star and r. E. Lee base ball clubs.
In consequence of the inclement weather
marring last Sundays arrangement, the
Ionia Conclave has determined to repeat
the festival on Sunday next.

provocation was, the man who uses dan

Nor SLEEPER.-Oficer Argus finding
man asleep on the wharf at Milneburg
aroused him just trifie too much, for the
fellow raised himself without police aid
and blazed away one shot, the bullet wound
ing the officer in his right side. He Of the
pistol walked off. but the officer was sent to
his home, No. 276 Common street.
There was a fishing party at the lake. and
Officer Argus was one of the company, not
in his uniform. The sleeper was in posi-
ton which was altogether Objectionable to
the party-especially to the ladies-when
he was requested to move, which he de-
clined to do. The officer then threatened
to arrest him. but was defed, and shot, as
stated. The desperate then fed into the
bush and escaped, although several bullets
were sent after him by members OF the

RETURN OF ARCHBISHOP PERCHE.-After
an absence of about seven months, Arch
bishop Perche returned last Tuesday, hav-
ing visited Rome. While in that city the
Pope placed the palliam on his shoulders,
and now he is invested with all the symbols
of his high office OF course his return
should be marked as more than an ordinary
event, and some gentlemen arranged for
NAL procession to welcome the archbishop.
A fine dinner was set in the archepiscopal
dwelling, Charities street, at which appro-
pirate speeches were made, responded to by
his Grace.
The procession was formed on Esplanade
street and at four o'clock proceeded up
Charities street, Mr.. C. E. Girardey, grand
marshal. The cOrtege was made up OF mill
tary companies, religious societies and civic
associations, with bands of music. The
procession moved to the st. Louis Cathe-
dral, where the Archbishop was invested
with the mitre and the crook, and Mr.. +.
Bermndez, on the front steps, delivered an
appropriate address of welcome. Inside
the cathedral, the Rev. Father Gabriel Cha
lon addressed his Grace in French, after
which the archbishop addressed the great
assembly, detailing some of his experiences
in Rome. Many of the assembly followed
him to his residence, unwilling to part with
him. A committee of gentlemen finally
rescued him from his admiring friends.
