New Orleans Republican., 1871-06-18

The concert recently given in the Lyceum
Hall for the purpose of aiding in raising
fund to rebuild Annunciation church, now
under the pastoral charge of Rev. John Per
cival, was very successful. The net profit
of the concert amounts to eleven hundred
and fifty dollars.
The ladies and gentlemen who sang on
this occasion, as well as the able leader,
Mr.. Seward, gave their services gratuitous-
ly. The fine grand piano used for the con-
cert was furnished gratuitously by Mr..
Grunewald, of Canal street, and the Lyceum
Hall was given without cost by the city au-
thorities The Ladies Society of Annuncla-
ton Church, under whose auspices the con
cert was given, desire TO return their thanks
for the kind and efficient help received from
various quarters, including the press Of this
city.
Catherine Lohun is arrested, accused of
the larceny of about eighteen dollars worth
of the kind of apparel tasteful women most
delight in.
Sidney Grant is in durance for stealing
blackberries.
Nora Jones is charged with entering the
premises of - Smith, with intent to com
NIT robbery, and although of the unripe
age of fifteen years, she is also charged
with drawing knife.
Now that the summer heats are upon US
daily reports of the ''sick and destitute
who are sent to the hospital come in, and
this is what becomes of many a missing
man whose family wait for him at night,
but fail to find him. The police are by
their charter compelled to officiate in these
cases as the Good Samaritan.
The gentleman who was robbed of a sum
of over seven hundred dollars few nights
ago, on the levee, has left the city. His
description of the party he himself suspects
of the robbery is so incomplete and unsatis-
factory that it is almost impossible to get a
trace of the robber. So we are informed
by the parties interested in the detection.
The rogues' gallery has no new faces
There are enough in the old stock for capi-
tai cases months to come.
Several invitations to assist at the coming
public school examinations have been ex-
tended, for which courtesy thanks are ten
dered
All the avenues bv rail and water leading
out of the city were thronged yesterday af-
ternoon by those anxious for respite from
heat, brick and mortar and dust
For the papal demonstration to day great
preparations have been made for the pre-
,-;o,s uaaIy and +ba only fear now is that
the weather may prove unpropitious.

Quarantine i'm st. Landry.
From the Planters Banner.l


An effort is being made by citizens OF
Washington, parish of st. Landry, to have
that place efficiently Guarantined the COM
ing season.
Every epidemic yellow fever which has
ever prevailed at Washington can be traced
to its importation in steamboat, or through
boxes and packages of merchandise. Ope-
lousas always protects itself against cpl
demic yellow fever by rigid quarantine.
New York and Philadelphia were subject
to terrible yellow fever epidemics until the
city authorities established rigid quarantine
regulations.
The rprincipal danger of yellow fever
reaching Washington is through Bayou
Courtableau. If the Police Jury would
favor a quarantine on this bayou at the
proper point, Washington would be safe,
and the rest of the parish would also be
safe.
One epidemic kills business in Washing
ton and Injuries the parish to a greater ex-
tent than twenty quarantines Besides, a
good and efficient quarantine gives gem
eral feeling of security and promotes the
general interests of the parish and home
trade. An epidemic paralizes both trade
and travel. An expense of one or two hun
dred dollars might have kept the yellow
fever from Washington and ST. Landry last
year. Who can estimate the damage suf-
fered by the parish from the epidemic alone

Saws the Franklin SIM.

Sometime in March, one of our planters,
Mr.. Jabez Griffing, went to the city and
brought up some hands, white and black, as
he could get them. Among them was a
Scotchman or Irishman named Blake, who
proved so unruly, factious and worthless
that Mr.. Grifing soon discharged him. Blake
then hired to another planter near Warsaw,
on the Bayou Macon, but his behavior was
so reckless thai he became nuisance to the
whole neighborhood, and he was admonished
to behave himself, without effect. Unscru-
pulous and intrusive he went where he
pleased and did as he pleased, regardless as
to who he pleased or displeased. Taking a
notion to widow in the neighborhood, he
sought to marry her or possess her any
how, but he failed. He then commenced to
work ON a young colored girl, and, watching
his opportunity, ravished her. This act
filed to overfowing the cup of public for
.bearance towards him. He was brought
before Judge Lynch, tried convicted and
sentenced to be hung, and his body thrown
into the bayou, and the sentence was duly
executed on last Monday.

NEW BOOKS.

From A. Eyrich, Canal street, we have
this week copies of Peterson's (Phnadei-
phia) republications of those popular cover
novels: knight of Gwynne" and ION
Burke of Ours;" also valentine Vox, the
Ventriloquist," from the same house.
Mr.. Eyrich sends US, too, the late harper
select library novel; by the autnof Oh
sGuy Livingston" ETC., called "Anteros. =
To admirers of the strong style OF writing,
it is needless to commend any OF TINS series
of books; but we think this one more likely
to hit the taste of the general reader than
anv fits predecessors. "Ralph, the Heir,
ACCOMPANIES it, and, it is gratifying to know,
finds ready land well deserved) welcome
among Anthony Trollope's many admirers
in this community
An excellent portrait of Chief Justice
Chase, as he appeared few years ago,
forms the frontispiece to new edition of
the Bench and Bar" by l.. j. Bigelowe,
ESQ. This work is intended to be com
plete digest Of the wit, humor, asperities,
and amenities of the law, and contains
amusements land no little instruction, tOo,) J
for the general reader, as we'll as members
of the legal brotherhood. Harper prints,
Eyrich sells, and all should buy it.
Another Harper reprint, in the green and
gold style, is Miss Mulochs =" The Ogilvies," f"
geographically it deserves praise = the
subject matter the public is familiar with.
Nigel Bartram's IDEAL" by Florence
Wilford. Appleton, New York; A. Eyrich,
New Orleans. A downright entertaining
novel, by woman scarcely known to fame.
The heroine " Marion" is character un-

chapter to the last.

The design is to furnish the Young with a
knowledge of the fundame ntal principles OF
modern philosophy through the medium OF
interesting narrative, conversation and ex-
periments explaining and illustrating these
principles. All who know the author
skill in bringing the facts and truths of
practical life to the minds of the young
will hail this new effort with pleasure.
More delightful home books it would be
difficult to name, and we cordially com
mend them also to the attention of Sabbath

AbOut Town.

There are many minor points in natural
history which excite attention in the curious
Why does cat refuse piece of meat when
offered by your hand, and then as soon as
your back is turned steal the same piece
from plate on the table! Why do two or
three men when they meet at a street cor
ner, and wish to hold conversation, inva-
riably stand on the narrow crossing COM
pelling every passer-by to 60 around, and
frequently to step an the mud The men
who do this are neither roughs nor loafers,
but mostly decent fellows; yet they obstruct
the way with sense of enjoyment as if the
inconvenience to which they put Others
gave zest to their conversation. Why does
a waiter in restaurant, when you order
plate of soup, carry it to you Ia long dis
tance) in such manner that at every step
a portion of the soup is made to wash his
not very clean thumb Does it make the
compound richer Why does the nice young
man who serves out soda or mead handy
the glass in such manner that your lips
must always come in contact with the place
marked by his unenticing fingers? Does it
add to the flavor! Why does certain
style of man, when he passes close to you
in the street, always put out his hand as if
to push you away! Is it timid apprehen-
sion of getting hurt, or merely street imper-
tinence Ifabsolutely necessary, why don't
