THE CITY HALL.

Taxpaying at the City Hall is proceeding
with more than ordinary rapidity, it beng
apparent that taxpayers do not indorse the
visionary views of the tax resisters.
The Administrators have requested the
president of the City Railroad Company to
send them statement OF the earnings of
the cars On Metairie Ridge, with a view to
ascertain the traffic on that line and the ne
cessity of the road.
So dull has become the shipping business
that at the Second District wharf there is
now scarcely vessel. The collections Of
levee dues, in consequence, have materially
decreased.
The Administrator of Police is at present
engaged in preparing statement of con-
victions for the year. The document will
be forwarded to the chief of the Census
Bureau at Washington.
The leading shell-roads of the city are re-
ported in better condition than they have
been for several years.

hereafter possess his soul in patience and
not annoy other passengers by his rude

RaveI-NIarrfnetti Troupe.

The announcement that THE Green
Monster would be the attraction at the
st. Charles Theatre was sufficient to i'll the
house last evening with large and brilliant
audience The piece worked more effect
lively and to better advantage than on the
preceding evening, much to the satisfaction
of the assembled ones,
Julian, as the clown, was a success.
There is an air of refinement in his panto-
mimic expressions which always please and
delight. Paul played in his characteristic
manner, which is novel and unique. Mr..
LIE Clair, as the fop, was good His make
up was immense.
Mr. Huntley deserved all the app lause
he received for his exquisite rendi ton Of
the "Chimes." The imitation is perfect.
The cool air which pervaded the theatre
last evening had wonderful effect upon
the tone of the banjo, making it ring out
clear and distinct, which was very de-
sirable.

varieties Theatre-..Eileen Oae.''


"Eileen Oge" received its fourth repre-
sentation last evening to very well filed
house. AS we predicted, the patronage is
increasing as the merits of the piece are
becoming known, and we expect by the end
of the week crowded houses will be the rule
at this favorite establishment.
The piece runs much smoother than on
the first night. The actors work together
more harmoniously, and the waits between
the acts are much shorter
Miss Thompson, as Eileen Oge, is as pleas.
ing and attractive as in any character we
have yet seen this charming artist in, and
Mr.. George Clarke deserves especial praise
for his remarkably beautiful portrayal of
Patrick O'DOnaleu. Mr.. Howson is artistic
and quiet in Bryan, and his song, ''The
Lads Who Live in Ireland, /" was excellently
sung. Mr. Pitou gives a forcible rendition
of LOTUS, and is noticeably good in the last
act Mr.. George Holland has greatly i'm
proved his acting of HcLeai,, and the part
in his hands is now made one Of the promi-
nent characters in the play.
Mr.. Robson is as 1udicrous as ever, and
Mr.. Ryer finds in the ReU Mr.. MahOney a
character well adapted to his manner of
acting. Miss Murdoch as Bridget is as
piquant and pretty as usual, and acts the
part unexceptionably well. The same may
be said of Miss Grey, and Mr.. Hind
Our readers must not forget to bear in
mind that Saturday evening is set apart for
the complimentary benefit to Mr.. and Miss
Murdoch, and as the bill is an eminently
attractive one, and these artists are great
favorites, we advise all who intend going to
purchase their seats at once.

The Picayatne is making some appalling
efforts at factiousness at the expense Of
the imam with the white hat" It is really
surprising that single newspaper edition
can produce tlco scintillations of genius Of
such resplendent humor, as the subjoined
paragraphs disclose:
Mr. Greeley telegraphs that oOckleburs
must be planted in fresh beds and served
an nat.trel For indigestion or bilious
mumps they must be plowed early before
using.
In planting deadheads Mr. Greeley says
that the best manure is pOlitico-phosphate
of protection. Care must be taken in pick
ing them. If pulled raw they lose their
costives properties and become deadly
purgative.
The nursery where such wit as this is
cultivated needs kindly nurture. The soil
is so fertile that there is danger of weeds
and rank vegetation springing up. II
plain calico can disclose an aspect so at
tractive, what may not be anticipated from
the Pic when she gets on her Dolly Var
den suit? Then, indeed, will Horace have
to look out for himself. The Pies satire
will be consuming.
