Opera of Robert lie Diable.

We were pleased to see SO fine a house
last night at the opera to hear Mr.. CoulOn
in his great role Of Bertram in Meyerbeer's
famous opera of "Robert the Devil 1t
was a happy selection for him, and afforded
ample opportunities for the display of his
powers both as singer and an actor. He
was in excellent voice, and equal to the
occasion throughout the whole perform
ance. There is probably no role more diff
cult for basso than that chosen by Mr..
Coulon last night. 1t requires great quail
ties of strength and compass of voice, and
abounds in passages that none but first
class artist dare attempt.
He has fully mastered the difficulties. and
the frequent and hearty applause of his au-
dience showed how much they appreciated
his merits. He was the recipient of nu-
merous floral offerings, besides a package
which, doubtless, contained something g
more substantial. Mr.. Coulon is deserv-
ing, painstaking and thoroughly reliable ar
tist. We congratulate him on his success
last night, and hope she may live long and
prosper"
Mr.. Delabranche has almost fully recov-
cred from the effects of his accident. and
sang with great effect the role of Robert,
being particularly fine in the gaming song.
Miss Levielli as Alice won fer hers elf. as
she always does, the warm applause Of the
audience by her splendid singing and fine
acting.
Madam Durand charmed all hearts with
her artistic rendition of the role of Isabelle.
This lady. we think, has steadily i'm
proved since the opening night, and now
occupies d most enviable place in the esti-
nation Of our musical people. Her voice
has gained in power, while its tiexibility
and pathetic sweetness has from the start
been subject of much favorable comment.
Mr. Jourdan deserves favorable mention
for the pleasant manner in which he rem
ders the peasant character of Rainlj0u.
Saturday night we are to be favored with
another representation of The Hugue-
uDtS.'

contrast with the spirit of seeking fortune
il another country. telling the story of Col
onei Jones and Colonel Brown. and how
Brown bought rough piece of ground from
Jones, and made money out of it, ard when
Jones came back from Texas without money
or property he was furnished square meal
by the thrifty Brown, who had stayed at
home.
The pride of all was that OF a man who,
by his individual efforts, made himself a
name and place in the world. 1t was
true pride. and the passion was all the
greater if the man had beeu born in a coal
bin, or if his father had been hung. Men
had been proud of their literary abilities
who could not write a grammatical sen
tence, and who spelled "Of" with ''v:''
women had been proud of their beauty who
could carry off the prize for ugliness; of
their small feet when they were large out
of all proportion.
The lecturer then touched upon the good
passions-the four sisters, love, hope. pity
and joy. Love often springs from pity, is
always fostered by hope, and invariably
leads to JOY. These four sisters object in
the world is to make all people happy
Love is a girl, not boy, as he had been
represented, with feathers" The idea of
a boy baby impersonating love, when the
office OF babies was to love milk over other
substantials Love was girl-a kind, low
ing, faithful, true hearted, full grown girl.
That boy baby is a humbug. Love is true
when it has no other desire than to make
people happy. The lecturer went into dis
sertation of love in married life. Love was
its capital. A man who should marry with
out i is like a merchant going into business
without money; with everything smooth he
might get along, but let storms come and
he would be ruined. The man who dares
to take woman without love does not
marry in the spirit of Christianity. Love
was an absolute necessity in married life
There was too much. nonsense about stern
parents. He is needed, for there is so much
folly about boys and girls that stern pa-
rents play an important part. He was a
useful member of society.
Miss Logan closed her lecture after few
more general remarks, much to the salts

LOtta's Banjo.

We subjoin the beautiful address of DR..
Drew, delivered in the st. Charles Thea
tre, on the occasion of the presentation to
Lolita of banjo from her New Orleans
friends:
Miss LoTTA-Of the many attributes
with which we are endowed, the faculty
of teaching those with whom we come in
contact to cherish kind and lasting re-
membranes, is gift but few individuals
possess: and it is IN recognition of this
happy faculty. SO remarkably exemplitied
iD YOU, that have been delegated to ad
dress you tonight. 1t is this special
faculty by which you have inspired the es-
TEEN and admiration of the best and most
sterling of our citizens: and it is this by
which you have achieved reputation, fame
and wealth as a delineator OF life in the
mimic world, and attained a high position
as type of that nobIest work OF God
the true woman IL the social and practical
world.
In somewhat selfish spirit, few friends
conspired to render you this surprise, and
combined to present you this beautiful in
strument-a banjo-an instrument on which
you excel. This manifestation of regard
from those to whom YOU are not d stranger
in the full significance of the term, who
have the experience and ability to form,
from close observation and critical discrimi-
nation, an unbiased Judgment, is to evince
an appreciation of that versatility of talent
and excellence and purity of character
which have placed Lolita the bright, peerless
little - star of the American stage.
And when you have gone from us let this
instrument serve. if need be. as 8 souve-
nir''-let it's sweet accords, given Off by your
magic touch, open the gates of memory
that you may look down the vista of the
past, and recall some pleasing recollections
of your friends IN New Orleans.

The City Hall.

A special meeting of the Council was
held yesterday in the Mayors parlor, for
the purpose of taking into consideration
the transfer of d portion of the duties of
the fiscal agency to another banking insti-
tuition than the fiscal agent. 1t appears the
charter has modified the late ordinance con-
cerning the agency, so as to include the ad-
ministration of the floating debt, which
latter function, as we understand it, may
not be transferred. Yesterday 1t looked as
if the sense of the meeting was that reso-
luton be proposed at the next session of
the Council transferring to the Louisiana
Savings Bank and Safe Deposit Company
that portion of the fiscal duties included
under the ordinance of 1855, which made
the fiscal agent simple depositary of city
funds. The ordinance was discussed as to
its propriety and legality, with the above
result.

PrOmuted by Democrats.

The St. Louis journal of Commerce, not
a political, but commercial paper, allud-
ing to an article in the st. Louis Republican,
pertinently says:
1t is simply partisan fancy for which
Democracy is remarkable enough to say, as
does the Republican this morning, that the
New Orleans tiasco between the War
mothites and the Carterites is the fruit of
reconstruction. 1t is not the fruit of recon
struction, but the fruit of the old system,
to provide against the recurrence of which
recons nstruction was devised. 1t is rebel
lion against law, and it was possible only
through the cooperation Of the Democratic
element in the Legislature There is no
doubt that all the proceedings of the Car
terite faction in organized conspiracy
against the recognized authority of the
State were prompted, as they were GER
tainly sustained by the Democrats.
The truth is here expressed in a nutshell,
and if some Of our Republican exchanges
would investigate the subject, they would
arrive at the same conclusion that the St.
Louis Journal of Commerce does.
