Opera Of Les Huguen0ts.

A fine audience assembled last night to
greet Mr.. Delabranche in the grand opera
of lies Huguenots." 1t will be remem-
bered that while singing this opera, a little
over two weeks since. Mr.. Delabranche was
accidentally wounded by the premature dis
charge of gun, which nearly resulted in
total blindness. Through the careful atten-
ton of DR.. Formento he has been brought
out of his troubles without any serious con-
sequences.
The public have missed him very much,
and welcomed him last evening with a
warmth that showed their pleasure at see
him again on the boards, and which must
have been gratifying to the artist.
He does not show any marks of powder
on his face, though, We presume, that is the
result OF his make up. His eyes are not yet
strong enough to stand the full glare of the
foot-lights, and the management have
kindly screened them for his sake
He was not in as good voice as on the
night of the accident, but still he sang with
great effect.
The lateness of the hour when the opera
closed prevents our making any extended
notice of the other artists.
Miss Levielli and Madame Durand, in
their respective roles, were very successful
and received the hearty applause of the
audience. Coulon, as Marcel, won new
honors for himself, while Dumestre, in the
role of De Necers, was not at all behind his
usual style, and was encored in that famou,
fourth act.
1t was a very agreeable entertainment
throughout, and now that Delabranche is
himself again, We expect many such in
future,

Our merchants should arouse from their
lost trade of Northern Texas. or to save
that which vet remains. From a gentleman
who has lately travelled through Northern
Texas, we learn that 10000,000 pounds of
freight, worth $5,OOO,0OO is transported an
nually from st. Louis to Northern Texas,
and that $4,000 bales of cotton. worth
$1,000. 900, 90 from that section of tie State
to st. Louis during the same period
The merchants of that portion OF Texas
declare that. all other things being equal,
they would prefer to trade with New Or
leans rather than ST. Louis. We maintain
that New Orleans presents more than
equality in the rates OF freight and time oc-
cupied in transportation. Through bills Of
lading are given from St. Louis to Sherman
at 81 % per hundred pounds. and to Dallas
at S. -. Cotton freight from Sherman to
st. Louis is SIS per bale. and from Dallas to
st. Louis SIS.
From New Orleans to Dallas. pound
freights are s. - per hundred. and to
Sherman s. p. Cotton per bale from
these points to New Orleans is 81! and $IJ,
even with Morgan's high rates.
st. Louis has flooded Northern Texas
with drummers, while not more than three
New Orleans houses send agents there to
solicit purchases or to buy cotton. ST.
Louis has men on the spot as soon as
cotton is sinned, and they scoop it up at
once. Waco, Belton and Georgetown are
full of st. Louis goods, and if New Orleans
wants to secure this trade our merchants
must make an effort to get it. They must,
in other words, solicit the trade of Northern
Texas in order to secure it.

About three weeks ago there suddenly
appeared on window-pane in San Fran
cisco the picture of mans face. The re-
mort of the Chostly apparitiOn caused great
excitement. Thousands went to see it, and
finally an enterprising Snowman: the Bar
nun of the city, bought it for $3.50. The
next day spiritual photographs on window
panes were plenty. There were masculine
faces, ard feminine faces and dog faces,
and pictures of roses, and various other
things, and they were all offered for sale at
$3.50 apiece. The market was overstocked.
The excess of supply killed the demand en-
tirelv. We see that the same wonderful
manifestation is now occurring at Salt Lake
City. The window-pa are blossoming
there into life-like portraits-two or three of
them to pane. When the maker has
reaped harvest from popular credulity
there, he will probably come still further
East, and, by next summer, We may expect
to hear of wonderful portraits of persons
burned to death in Chicago appearing on
the windows of the buildings which will by
that time cover their graves.
