A very amusing though very light bill
was presented last evening by the Wynd-
ham Comedy Company. 1t opened with the
musical farce of ':The Bonnie Fish Wife,
which was given with it's customary vim
and go, and was exceedingly well received
by the audience. Messrs. Siddens, Fltz-
patrick and Lecount were excellent in
their several parts, and Miss Annie Good
all, in the dual part of Mss ThisHed0rn
and Maggie McFdrlone, was more than
usually effective. Her fine voice was heard
to much advantage in the charming ballads
she introduces in the piece, while her
spright.y acting met with its due share of
applause and appreciation. This was fol-
lowed by the elegant little comedy of
'Rosine, or the Wife of Two Husbands"
charming piece in two acts, one of its
best features being the really elegant
and superb costumes, not only of the
principals, but also of the subordinates
They are of the Richeleu period, and are
as beautiful in design as they are rich in
material and texture. The action of the
plav is given to Mr.. j. H. Fitzpatrick, who
looked and acted the aristocratic cavalier
to perfection. Mr.. George Siddens as his
friend, the Count de BriSSac, was equally
efficient if less dignified. Ryan's Pommo-
rage was performed in manner worthy of
this talented artist, and this IS the best
praise we can bestow upon it. Miss Coweli
made much of the small part OF Mar'ette,
and lastly, Miss Campion, as the beautiful
Bourgeoise Rosine, looked the part to per-
lection and played it well. The perform
ance concluded with the farce of Crying
1t On" with Wyndham as the impairment
and amusing Waisingham Potts.
Tomorrow is announced the only repre-
sentation by this company of the exquisite
and successful comedy, 1.-THE Two Roses"
The interest it created at the Varieties last
year, interrupted only by the burning of
that theatre, will be sure tc attract a

The Washington. Repnblican says:

The very fact that our national debt was
reduced bN so large an amount as
S204, 754, ALB during the first two years OF
Grants presidency, thereby reducing the
annual interest on that debt by Sll .537 ,46l
annoys and troubles our political adver
saries Such practical tests of ability and
honesty obstruct and complicate their po-
litical plans for the destruction of President
Grant and the downfall of the Republican
party. With such facts before us on every
side. the old platitudes and party catch
words lose their force; and such senseless
cries, so full of sound and fury, as appear
in the Democratic address, can have no
other effect than to provoke derislon among
intelligent men. They impress nobody, and
accomplish no good end.

The Empire Parish, Plaquemlnes pape

The Empire Parish, a Plaquemlnes paper,
says of the levees:
There is curious fact in connection with
the levee building along our coast; that
while the levees built at the private ex'
pense of the planters withstood the tides,
rains and waves, those manipulated into a
frail existence, at State expense, invariably
gave trouble, if not altogether a failure.
Levee life now-which has history OF
its own, of fears, alarms and ominous warn
ings-has at length subsidized into the usual
tranquility, as the great danger, high
water, is over and gone.
River down absut two feet. "All quiet
now along-our line" thanks to Provi-
dence, the planters can breathe and work
