Concert Of Miss Melanie Nav.

Minerva Hall was filed to the utmost on
Friday evening by q selected audience. on
the occasion Of the complimentary concert
given to Miss Melanie May by her pupils.
1t is exceedingly gratifying to say that the
concert was a most complete success in
every sense. The music was judicious]y
selected and splendidly executed, and it is
not possible to name any portion of the per-
formance undeserving OF the highest praise
Mr.. Chase delighted the audience with
his splendid performance of the Star Of
Love-" and the ''Rose Bush" Madame
Blache was in excellent voice, and it would
be difficult indeed to surpass the soprano
aria by DOnizetti, or the duet LA Fee au
Roses performed with Mr.. Cassard.
The interest Of the evening concentrated,
however, upon the performance Of Miss
Mays pupils, particularly the overture for
eight hands: We think that any competent
Judge of the subject would acknowledge
that the touch, time and expression dis
played by the pupils of Miss May are indis-
putable proof that she is teacher OF re-
markabie talent; teacher, not only, but q
pianist whose brilliancy of execution and
delicacy of touch, combined with true
artistic feeling of the theme, has been sell
dom equaled, still more seldom surpassed.
We sincerely hope that this concert will
Lead to wider appreciation of Miss May as
very superior instructor ON the piano.

ZURICH.
German Celebration in Honor Of Return
of Peace Disturbed by Frencilmen-
The Riot QuelIed and the City Quiet.

ZURICH. March ll.--A German celebra-
ton i'll honor Of the return of peace, which
began Thursday. was disturbed by the
French officers who are detained here as
prisoners of war. The German Tontralle
Music Hall was attacked and occupied bv
the French, and several persons in ured in
the melee. The Swiss Federal Council at
once ordered the adoption of military meas
ures to put an end to the tumult, and pre-
vent its recurrence. Disturbances, never
thcless, were resumed Friday, when
the Tontralle OF the Germans was
again stOrmed by the French, and
the German flag torn to pieces. Sub
sequently d large number of people OF
Zurich, who sympathized with the Ger
mans, attacked the prison in which sixteen,
officers OF the French Mobile guard, who
were arrested on the previous day, were
imprisoned. The Swiss soldiers, guarding
the prison, at once fired upon, and repulsed
the mob, but unfortunately killed and
wounded several innocent people in the
houses on the opposite side of the street.
The riot has been thoroughly quelled and
to day the city perfectly quiet.
ZURICH, March 10, II p. M-Loter.
There was only one person killed during
the disturbances. The federal council
sent for a battalion Of infantry and two
batteries 10 assist in keeping the peace.
Further disturbances apprehended.

First National Bank.

This bank has now been IN the hands OF
the Receiver, Colonel Case, for nearly four
years, and, as yet, 10 dividend has been
declared, though Colonel Case has been
anxious to expedite the hpuida ton and set
tlement of its affairs. The delay has arisen
from the fact that claims against the bank
have been set up in behalf Of the United
States. which, if allowed, would absorb al
most its entire assets. These claims have
been contested in q suit brought by the
creditors of the bank against the Con
troller Of the Currency which was argued
before the Supreme Court Of the United
States, last Tuesday, by the Solicitor
General and Assistant Attorney General for
the government. and by Henry B. Kelly,
Esq. and Hon. John A. Campbell for the
creditors. 1t is thought decision will be
rendered in the case at an early day, pos
sibly on the twenty-ffth instant.

Calcasieu Sulphur Mines.

The Picayune says in reference to the
Calcasieu sulphur mines:
Having recently INDUCED in one or two
little pleasantries at the expense Of the
Calcasieu sulphur mines, we propose in re-
turn to give a few brief facts concerning
the respects of the working of the same by
the company formed in this city.
There were placed upon exhibition, yes
terday, at the office Of the company on Car
Ondelet street, a number OF glass Jars con-
tanning specimens of the crude and analyzed
sulphur obtained from the several strata of
the mine, which had the effect Of bringing
together quite a number OF gentlemen in
terested in the Calcasieu mining project
From the labels upon the jars and the ac-
companying chart upon which the various
strata are worked. it was shown that the
strata which yields the greatest results, viz
ninety-six and One-fonrth per centnm of
pure sulphur, is situated at a depth of four
hundred and eighty-six feet, extending
downward to a depth of four hundred and
ninety-si feet.
The extent OF the various strata, the de-
pOsits from which, when mixed together,
produce eighty per cent of pure sulphur is
one hundred and twelve feet in depth.
When the first shaft was sunk the sulphur
was reached at a depth OF four hundred and
twenty-eight feet.
In the present shaft, which is situated
about one hundred and fifty feet from the
former, the sulphur was not reached unit! a
depth of four hundred and forty-two feet
had been attained.
The eng gineer of the company, we are in
formed, is to leave in few days for Europe,
for the purpose of having a cast iron shaft
constructed, after the plan Of a recent in
vention by a French and Belgian engineer,
said shafts having the reputation OF being
by far the best now constructed for many
purposes. The company expect to be in full
operation at the commencement of the new
year, and we are afraid we should not be
believed, if We were to give an idea of the
profits they confidently predict will arise
from their work during the first season
alone.
A somewhat careful estimate places the
value of the sulphur already discovered in
the grounds Of the company at thirty five
million dollars. The capital stock is seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and no
increase of capital will be required to bring
the rich products of the mines to the surface
of the earth, from whence it may be ship
ped to the markets of the world.

The jackson RailrOad-An AccOmmOdn.
ton Train to be Put On.

The new management of the New Or
leans, jackson and Great Northern rail
road have done everything possible to
accommodate through travel and to facili-
tate the speedy transmission Of through
mails. They have done excellent well,
and deserve due credit therefor. Now,
over the Mississippi Central and jackson
road, Colonel McComb being president of
both corporations, there is no detention at
Canton because the trains fail to connect
as they run between Humboldt to New Or
leans without change.
This remedies the delays that previously
existed when mails and passengers were
detained from six to twelve hours waiting
for the departing train from Canton in either
direction. The result is, that we have re-
ceived our New York and Western mails
with surprising regularity, and passengers
have not been compelled to wait over and
seek the accommodation Of waysitle hotels.
There was, however, one difficulty to be
bridged over, and that was the incon-
venience and vexatiOn arising from the
occasional necessity of waiting at local
stations one, two, three, four and five hours
for the incoming through trains. There
was but one way to avoid this evil, and
that was the establishment of an accommo-
dation train to run between New Orleans
and Canton, or some other point on the
road. The condition of the track and the
insutficiency OF the rolling stock have prob
ably had some effect in delaying the estab-
lishment Of a local train, but we now learn
that an accommodation train will be run
through the summer by the New Orleans,
jackson and Great Northern Railroad Com
pany to Magnolia and all intermediate sta
tions, to arrive i'll New Orleans in time for
business, and return in the evening, and
that season and Communication tickets will
be sold at rates to encourage summer travel

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Democratic
caucus this morning resolved that it was
the duty OF every member to remain in his
seat to defeat dangerous legislation.
Collector Wallace, of the third South
Carolina district, reports that his assistant
and an illicit distiller killed each other at
the first fire.
The government has official advices from
Camp Supply indicating Indian hostilties.
The tribes. instead OF killing buffalo, are
fattening their ponies, which the knowing
ones say indicates q general raid on the
white settlements.
Nothing has transpired regarding the
proceedings OF the high commission, except
the details OF their dinners.
There are eight vacant seats in the Senate.
The Republican caucus have determined
to remain in session until Southern affairs
are fully discussed, and some law devised
which will satisfy the Southern extremists.
Mr. MOrtOn's bill, making Outrages amen
able to the federal courts, and eXacting iroI-
clad Oaths from federal jurors, will be
presented Monday.
The Senate caucus appointed committee
of five to confer with q similar committee
from the House caucus to devise force
bill.
Later and more reliable facts regarding
the Republican Senatorial caucus state that
it was resolved that only the ku-Klux bill
be entertained; that efforts in favor of legis-
lating on salt, coal and the Cincinnati and
Southern railroad failed. \ majority OF all
parties seem indispOsed to enter upon gen

ALICE CARY.> SWEETEST POEM.

OF ali the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
Is one of dim old forest,
That seemeth best of all:
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the InistletOe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbearns,
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland,
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pinls nor the pale sweet cowslip,
1t seemeth to me the best.
once had little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that Olden forest
He licth ill peace asleep:
Light as the down OF the thistle,
Free as the lnds that blow,
We rOved there the beautiful summers.
The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one of the autumn ewes
made for my little brother
bed OF the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
NV neck in meek en- brace,
As the light OF immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
Lodged in the tree-tcps bright
He fell, in his saint-liise headty,
Asleep by the gates OF light.
Therefore, OF all the pictures
That hang on memOry's wall,
The one of the dim Ole forest
Seemeth best OF all.
