A Pleasant surprise.

The following is from recent number Of the
New Orleans Times
At 12 o'clock, January 1st such employees of
the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern
Railroad as were in New Orleans, waited upon
Mr.. sewall, in a body to bid him adieu. Major
L. A. Burke. freight agent, stepped forward and
addressed Mr.. Sewal -
" / have been delegated by the employees of
this Company to tender you an expression OF the
kindly sentiments engendered toward you during
your administration as General Superintendent
Of this road. We desire to express our appreci-
alton of the courteous and gentlemanly qualities
that have marked your personal conduct as well
as of the jealous honorable and just manner in
which your official duties have been performed
under difficulties Of the most adverse character.
1t is said that still waters run deep, aud
let me assure you that the influence OF the quiet
manner and Christian-like department of our
Superintendent has crept into the hearts OF
many, exercising restraining and elevatlng
effect, and upon the occasion of our New Year
parting, we beg that you carry with you the as
surance ef our very best wishes, as also this
slight token of the sincerity of our professions.
Major Burke thon presented to Mr. Sewall a
splendid gold watch and chain.
This demonstration SO unexpected, and
coming as it did almost from the old employees
| of the company, Mr.. Sewail experienced great
difficulty in controlling his emotions sufficiently
| to reply. He responded to the kindly feeling
| evinced and alluded to the hardships under
which the road had labored, expressing the hope
| that new career of prosperity mad now opened
to the road in which he trusted that the employ
| ees would mutually share.

TO INVESTORS.

The T-3O bonds Of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
which have now taken their place among the solid
and favorte securities OF the country, have the fol-
lowing leading features;
They are a first and only mortgage on the Foad,its
equipments and earnings, and, also, as fast as the
road is completed on $1,000 acres Of land IN each
mile Of track; they bear interest at the rate Of B.
10 per cent both principal and interest payable
in gold the principal in thirty years from 1870, and
the interest semi-annually (January and July0 at
the banking houses OF Jay Cooke 4 Co., Philade-
phla, New York. and Washington.
They are exempt from United States tax, and are
issued OF the following denominations: Coupon,
siOO $780, and 81 600; Registered $lOO, $780, $1,000
s5 OOO and $40 OOO They at all times receivable
at ten per cent. premium Q10) in exchange or pay
ment for the COmpany's land at the atter's lowest
cash price The proceeds OF all sales Of lands are
required to be devoted to the purchase and cancel
lation OF tae First Mortgage Bonds Of the Compa-
ny. The Land Grant OF the Road, exceeding Fifty
Million Acres constitutes an Immense Sinking Fund
which will probably cancel the principal of the
Company's bonded debt before it falls due.
u s. 5l2Os, Delaware State bonds, Wilmington
City Loan and all other marketable Stocks and Bonds
will be received at their highest current price in ex
change for Northern Pacific T-sOs.
With the same confidence with which they recon-
mended United States Government Bonds to the
public, Jay Cooke Co., now recommend these &C.
curties to all classes as an investment combining q
profitable return with absolute safety.

Dramatic.

An audience, appreciative undoubtedly, but by
no means as large as might have been expected,
greeted the first performance by The Bishop
Comedy Combination in the New Opera House,
last evening a performance which deserved q
halter bouse, il amusement-real rollcking fun
lis desirable thing Fanatical admirers OF
Scott had better, however, avoid witnessing
Kenilworth as performed last night, III they would
not risk having their impressions OF this most
stately and tragical Of the Waverly novels for
ever mixed up with the absurd comicaties Of
its rendering by this troupe. Bishop as the Vir-
gin Queen, was a sight to see, not sooner to be
forgotten than Riston in the same character ;
though there is slight difference in the impress
sion made by the presentiments OF the royal
lady. The contrast between such an Elizabeth
aad such Leicester was very funny.
The Rand Sisters are pretty, comic, graceful in
their burlesque dances, and pleasing singers.
The other actors all did we'll. Mr.. Curley as
Mayland Smith made an important share of the
fun, and Mr.. Germon's barney was very well
done. His appearance as the spirited rider OF a
fiery steed, in the Kenilworth revels performed
for the deectation Of the Queen, was sufficiently
remarkable one.
Kenilworth was preceded by the farce OF the
"Quiet Family, in which Bishop as Barnaby
Bibbs was very amusing though 1t is difficult
not to feel distaste for pieces where so large
share Of the comic effect depends upon the
showing of of drunkenness as drolery.
We believe it would be true gain for the
comic drama il the whole large brood OF funny
drunken characters, from Toodles on through
the whole list, could be swept from the stage.
Tonight the comedy troupe perform Married
Life" and the laughable farce of young
America"
