ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
HO0Iey's Minstrels.

Last night a perfect treat, genuine ban
quet of fun greeted crowded and unusually
enthusiastic audience. Hooley's are grand
sensation. 1t is impossible to attempt,
within the limits of an ordinary notice, any
thing like the review the performance
merits. Suffice it to say, they are the best
ever seen here-funny, witty, and withal
refined. 1t is task which the lateness of
the hour forbids, or we would particularize
the specialties of each performer. Eugene
is wonder in female apparel. The come
dians, Unsworth, Rice and Mulligan. each
different in style, but unequaled for origi
nality and wit Brandisi, Basquin, Nichols
and, in short, each and every one in the bill
is performer of unusual talent. Mr..
Griffin deserves great praise for the manner
in which the company is presented, and its
many excellences was pervading topic of
conversation with the audience. For a
treat, go tonight and see this great assem-
bly, of sable talent.

Shakspeare CInh.

The dress circle and parquette of the St.
Charles Theatre were filled on Monday
night with the families of our resident popu
latiOn to witness the performance of Lon
don Assurance" by the members of the
Shakespeare Club. The array of female
beauty upon this occasion was equal to any
thing ever before seen in our city. and the
highly complimented by the presence of so
much beauty, intellect and fashion of the
Crescent City.
We have before had occasion to speak in
complimentary terms OF the performances
of the amateurs of the drama in New Or
leans, having repeatedly witnessed, with
much pleasure, the efforts of gentlemen of
social standing here upon the stage, and
have been proud to record the evidence OF
talent thus developed. The members of the
Shakespeare Club were fully up to the mark
on Monday night, and gave further proof of
their power to please and instruct. Their
performance of London Assurance was
creditably done.
The Sir HurcOurt Courtly of Mr.. E. A.
Cowen some might have thought lacked
dash, but as he required no prompting and
played with an ease and readiness that is
not always attained by the professional
actor, as an amateur he must be regarded
an fail. The Richard Dazzle of Mr.. G.. II
Braughn was perhaps the best acting of the
evening, if we except the Lady Gay Spanker
of Miss Eliza O'Connor. Both of these
characters were rendered with a sprightli-
ness and perfection really captivating.
The Grace Harko1Coy of Mrs. G.
c. Pearce was smooth and graceful
piece of acting. Mr.. d. C. John
sons Kogk Aeddle was spirited
piece of acting, and elected a good deal of
laughter from the audience. The Dolly
Sparher of Mr.. Stumpf was not quite equal
to the Dolly Spanker of Dolly Davenport,
yet it was rendered in a manner to please
the audience The Charles Comfy of Mr.
Paul J. Robert was also acceptably rem
dered. The characters throughout were
well sustained by the members of the club,
and the ladies employed to assist them.

Seasoning and Drying Lumber and
Timber,

Millions of dollars have been expended in
experiments to season and dry lumber The
result has generally proved to be driving
without seasoning and seasoning without
drying. But when both seasoning and dry-
ing have been attained by subiecting the
lumber to first one process and then to the
other, the result has usually been a sacrifice
of the strength and durability of the lum-
Der as well as its beauty of finish, to saw
nothing Of time and expense.
In contrast with this is a new mode. re-
Gently discovered, and now in successful
operation in the United States navy yards,
and is being generally adopted by promi-
nent manufacturers in wood work through
out the North and West. Indeed its use
is indispensable where thoroughly sea-
soned, firm and durable wood is needed.
The discovery is known as "Bulkley's
superheated steam dryer and lumber sea-
soner," although the process is not to be
confined to lumber, but will act with pro-
portiOnate value and profit upon any article
requiring similar mode of curing, and
may be used upon cotton, salt, grain. fruits,
tobacco, bricks, white lead or what not.
1t seems to be a great mystery to the un-
initiated how lumber and other substances
can be dried while in direct contact with
steam. All understand that steamed lum-
Der will dry in the open air more rapidly
after than before it is steamed, though all
do not understand why it is so. The fact,
however, that it does dry more rapidly has
induced many to adopt it when they were
in haste for dry lumber; although it was
known that such steaming injured both the
beauty of finish and the strength and dura-
bility of the timber. This steaming and
soaking process extracts the albumen, which,
if properly coagulated and retained, is a
preservative to the lumber. Ryanizing.
Burnetizing, Creosoting and other similar
processes are only modes used to cOagulate
or chemically change this albumen by using
the various kinds of salts. OF course, the
lumber comes from all these processes in a
soaked state, and must therefore be used in
the wet state, or afterward dried by the air
either naturally or artifcially Bulkley's
system of using dry steam overcomes all
these difficulties, and opens a new era to the
workers in wood

Especial to the New Orleans Republican,

Houston, May %, 1871.
The second annual State Fair was for
mally opened to-day.
Hon. Horace Greeley delivered an ad-
dress an hour and halt in length.
Five or six thousand people were in at
tendance.
One of the directors, Democrat named
Taylor, refused to admit Mayor Scanlan,
Republican, to the speakers stand.
There were no accommodations for the

Marshall, Texas, wants the Southern
Pacific railroad machine shops, and the
Bulletin says:
BY reference to the proceedings of the
railroad meeting held here last Wednesday
evening, it will be seen that the committee
appointed at a previous meeting to ascer-
tain upon what conditions the directors of
the Southern Pacific railroad would remove
their machine shops to Marshall, reported
that the directors would remove their
shops here if the town would give them
$4,000 i'll bonds, to run ten years. bearing
eight per cent interest, twenty acres of land
on which to erect the buildings, and lot
on the public square on which to build an
Office; the land and lot, the committee esti-
mate, will cost ten thousand dollars in cash.
The meeting received the report, and di-
rected the secretary to frame a petition to
the Mayor and Council, in accordance with
the law, signed by fifty freehoIders, to sub
,nt the question to the citizens OF the town
whether or not they will tax themselves to
the extent necessary.
We learn that the secretary has drawn
up the petition, and it has already been
signed by the requisite number of free
holders. 1t only remains now for the Mayor
to order the election, which can not be held
until after the thirty days notice.

TabIeaux at the Ouera House.

The tableaux and entertainment at the
Opera House last evening were attended by
multitudes of ladies and gentlemen, and
most complete success crowned the objects
thereof. The tableaux and entertainment
were under the direction of the Gentlemen
and Ladies Benevolent Association, and
the object was for church purposes. We
need not particularize, but it is enough to
say that the tableaux were excellent, and
all the entertainments of the highest order.

The Baton Rouge Sugar Planter has this

The Baton Rouge Sugar Planter has this
about crops;
Considering the time lost in watching and
repairing dangerous places in our levees
during the late high water, our planters are
getting along as well as could be expected
in cropping. True, here and there more
hands are wanted than are now in the fields,
and planters generally would like heavier
laboring forces, but experience is beginning
to teach them to cultivate no more land
than they can do well. Overcropping has
been great curse since the closing of the
war, as many have found to their sorrow;
and even now an antiquated specimen of
humanity can be found planting largely of
sugar and cotton to the almost exclusion CT
breadstufs. Depending upon the West for
corn and meat in the present condition of
affairs savors much of stupidity, not to say
downright mental alteration. We sincerely
hope our planters may realize something
from their labors this year, for certainly NO
class of producers have labored more earn
estly and diligently to get even with the
world and lay up something for improve
ments on their respective lands

This is from the Louisville Cotuicr-Jou-
nal:
A Cincinnati paper says ''the great valley
of the lower Mississippi was scooped out to
carry vastly larger bodies of water than it
bears at present" Certainly it was, and it
would have vastly larger bodies of water to
carry if Cincinnati didn't poison so much of
it and sell it for whisky
