A True PIcTURE--How many
men there are who have ground and
ground TO make money. that they
might be happy by-and-by, but who,
when they have got to be fifty or six
ty wears old. have used up all the en-
ioyable nerve that was in them ,
During their early life they carried
toll and economy and frugality to the
excess of stinginess, and when the
time came that they expected joy,
there was no JOY for them.-Beeeker.

Eileen Oge.

Edmund FalcOner's best Irish drama was
pro duced, for the first time in New Orleans,
at the Varieties Theatre last night. The
house was not as large as We expected to
see. but business will doubtless improve
when the merits of the play are better
known. EILEEN Oge" is undoubtedly the
greatest play of the kind ever known to the
stage. The plot, dialogue and characters
are all superior to what we usually see in
Irish dramas, and the scenery is beautiful
beyond comparison. Mr.. PiggOt has sur
passed himself in giving Us some Of the
lOvlies stage sets we ever saw. The ''Haw
thorn" in act one, and the hay scene, were
probably the most beautiful, and the ruined
mill was very effectively set. Miss Char
lOtte Thompson, as Eileen Oge, was unex-
ceptiOnally excellent in her character,
looking very charming, and playing the
part with a'sweetness and grace that was
artistic and natural.
Mr.. George Clarke was very fine as
o. DonneU, and Mr.. Augustus PitOu, as Hen
ri LOTUS, was as artistic, painstaking and
han dsOme as usual.
Mr.. John HOwsOn's embodiment of the
Irish lad deserves a more lengthy notice
than we have time to give him. 1t was one
of the very best played characters in the
piece, and we shall endeavor to again refer
to this talented young gentleman's por-
trayal. Miss Grey, as Norah, was seen to
advantage. The part was well suited to
her. and received full justice.
Piquant, little Miss dolly Warden -
Murdoch had one of the best parts she has
played this season, and UNNECESSARILY added
to her laurels by her remarkably correct
impers OnatiOn.
Mr.. Holland had, in Mclean, part very
much unsuited to his style of acting, and
did not, therefore, appear to any particular
advantage. Mr.. Robson, as John Thomas,
was as funny as ever, and delighted the
audience by his comicaI performance of the
English cOachman; and Mr.. George Ryer
was remarkably effective as the Priest. The
piece will, undoubtedly, have a prosperous
run.

First Industrial Exposition.

The Southwestern Exposition building
was pened to the public last evening. A
large number of people visited the various
depa rtments. and appeared to be highly
gratifed with the displays of mechanical,
agric ultural and manufacturing machinery,
moved by the immense engine that fur
nishes he power for this department.
Much of the machinery is identical
with that recently exhibited at the Fair
| Grounds.
A large number of carriages of various
descriptions, from HollingswOrth, are also
on exhibition in the lower hall, together
with articles and manufactures exhibited
at the recent State fair.
In the art gallery the pictures thus far
adjoining the walls are not much greater in
number or better works of art than may be
seen in many private residences in this city.
But the number of works of art will in
crease from day to day.
In addition TO the display of furnishing
goods by Walshe and Moody at the recent
State fair; of plumbing materials by McIn-
tyre 81 Applegate; stoves by various par
ties; furniture by the Mitchell 81 Ramels-
burg Furniture Company; sewing machines
by several parties; mirrors that give full
length pictures Of all the ladies and gentle
men who promenade through the hall,
there is the "Rogues' Gallery" transferred
from the office of the Superintendent of
Police.
The exhibitors will increase from day to
day, and the visitors will cOrrespOndingly
inc rease in numbers, since the admission
fee is only twenty-five cents, and the spa
ciousJ halls of the Exposition building afford
a t1e promenade when they are brilliantly
lighted up in the evening. Jaeger's band
played during the evening from the Caron-
delet street balcony.
The building was decorated withstream-
ers on each front, and swinging over the
street s-bOth CarOndelet and St. Charles
was t he broad banner of "The Exposition
Building" The public hope this Exposition
will be perpetual
The Western Union Telegraph Company
have established a branch office III the
building, which will remain in operation
durin z the Exposition, if not permanently.

The Way Failures Are Made,

Some few months since a clothing mer
chant on POydras street failed in business.
In consequence he was unable to meet his
Liabilities, and many respectable people
were the sufferers. 1t now turns out that
there was little bit of romance connected
with the failure. Like all romantic episodes,
a woman was mixed up in it. The merchant
had friend. This friend was pawn
broker. delicate creature of etfeminate APP
pearance, with mild, soft eyes and an Incl
pient mustache cultivated with prayerful
devotion. BE was what the girls would
call - love of man" and, of course, had
bis Dulcinea del TobOsO. The madam was
rather masculine in comparison with her
pawn-brolling Don Juan; but she loved de
votedIy. and the embryo SbylOck thought
all the dross of Mammon cheaply spent if it
could but purchase one sweet smile from
her dear lips.
The fair Elvira wanted an establishment
of her own. The youthful AdOnis at once
bent every energy he possessed to its pro
curement. 1t, however, required large
sum of money, several thousand dollars
more than he had, and the deficiency he
prevailed on his clothing merchant friend
to loan him, promising speedy repayment.
The establishment was purchased, and the
madam" installed in it, and the day of
liquidation came. But our youthful pawn
broker couldn't come to time. The cloth
ing merchant was importunate inasmuch
as his creditors were besieging him. But
the money could not be raised. Only one
alternative was left-failure. 1t was made.
The merchant had to give up his business,
his creditors, and subject his
family to poverty, that a sweet-scented and
Adonis might maintain
his painted cOurtesan upon the substance
of honest people.
This is a skeleton of the facts. There
may be sequel to the story, which, in the
event of It's coming to light. we purpose
laying before our readers.

Mr.. r. c. Furley, licentiate Of the London
Royal College of Surgeons, in a letter to the
Scotsman, says he is able to prove that vac
cination is not only preventive Of disease
but a cure. He says he can show from cases
under his care at the present Sime that .'if
you vaccinate during the tebrile stage the
fever is slightly increased. but the eruption
does not make its appearance, and if you
vaccinate during the eruptive stage the
eruption is Immediately arrested. The ma
ture lymph overtakes the immature poison,
and the disease terminates. If the eruption
has gone the length OF having white tops,
there is danger of infection; ii not, it dies
away as pimples.' Mr.. Furley Invites
members Of the medical profession to accom-
pany him through the patients he has under
his care, and thus, he says, possibly stamp
out the epidemic in a few weeks.
