Harry, miserable enough, went travel

P, where he met one of hia own
schoolmates. who Immediately fastened
upon him, and regardless Of all excuses,
carried him to his own home. .
That night party of merry girls were

Harry suffered himself to be drawn

Ball at the St. Charles Theatre.

On the night OF Mardi Gras the St. Charles
Theatre will entertain the people OF this
city with one of their celebrated balls. This
ball has occupied the attention OF several
committees, composed of some of our best
citizens, for the past four weeks, and, as
may be expected, one of the grandest and
most brilliant entertainments that has ever
been gotten up in the United States will be
given that night.
The theatre will be covered with sub
stantial floor. extending from the stage to
the door, completely covering the par
quette, and making it appear as
smooth as ballroom. Suitable arrange
ments will be made for the comfort of the
visitors, and all who go may rely on enjoy
ing themselves to their hearts content
Professor Meyers grand orchestral band
will be ia attendance, and will discourse
sweet music to those who engage in the
light fantastic toe movements By con-
sulting our advertisement of this theatre it
will show the names of the gentlemen who
are appointed to take charge of the floor and
other arrangements

The bewitching little actress appeared to
an overwhelming audience last evening.
This is the fourth week of her engagement,
and yet her popularity has not in the least
diminished. Every night, no matter
whether it was wet or cold, she has drawn
crowded houses, and still the question of
Dr.. Greeley remains unanswered: 'HOw
does she do it 2"
This evening she appears in that ever
popular and romantic drama OF Jack
Sheppard This can not fail to draw a
large house. Miss Lolita takes the daring
character of JccL, the chap admired by the
ladies in those days for his numerous es-
capes and bold robberies. The moral of
the piece is good, and will serve to warn
young men what they will some day be
brought to. Lolita appears TO morrow eve
ming il an interesting play, which will, no
doubt. draw large audience.

THE DOMESTIC SEWING MACHINE.-When,
twenty years ago, the first sewing machine
was exhibited to the admiring world, every
one thought that the invention was SO per
feet that no improvement could be made
upon it which could materially add to its
usefulness OF perfection. AS time passed
however, various men skilled in machinery
added to it and improved it step by step
until they proudly boasted that nothing
else could be done, and that human ingenu-
ity had reached its utmost limit IN that di-
rection. But all who examine the newly
invented machine called the Domestic" Of
which Mr.. NJ. S. Hedrick, No. l0S Canal
street, is the agent, must acknowledge that
the limit was then far off, for in this there
has been made more improvements than had
been hitherto introduced from the time of
the original Howe. The most simple of those
boosted perfect machines had over 20O
separate pieces in them. This new machine
has only thirty four Their complicated nat
ure, composed as they were of SO many
pieces, made them liable to get out of Or
der. This one is so simple that its few
pieces can hardly become disarranged. 1t
works with exceeding rapidity, and, OF
course, works well; in fact, does everything
that can be done. What more could be
asked!

PHOTOGRAPHY.-The writer who, in a
late periodical, bewailed the invention Of
this glorious art as the forerunner of the
death of true inspiration of genius in
the sister art which was made illustriOus
by Raphael, Rembrandt, Michael Angelo
and Guido, must have been ignorant indeed
of the fact that this art, instead of proving
detrimental to the other, may be, in facts,
the inspiration to higher things than have
yet been done by the pencil. 1t catches the
true likeness Of natures greatest works,
and, rendering them indelible, gives the
student the opportunity of studying them
at leisure. There can be no faulty anatomy
in photographs-no mistakes in perspec-
tive, light and shadow. But everything
that is done by it is absolutely correct.
Every line which microscope could detect
is there, while the grand cloud-topped
mountain receives equal justice. If the ar
fist wishes to study nature to inspire him,
photography brings it to him from all
climes and all lands. Then in the matter
of portraits of the human form and face,
photography enables genius TO triumph as it
never before has triumphed. Where the
Photographic artist proves himself equal to
any of the old masters is in the mastery
style of his figures and groups-the power to
stamp instantaneously every desired ex-
preston. Who can visit the studio of Mr..
w. w. Washburn, at No. lI3 Canal stree t
and doubt this! Can any of the heads which
have rendered Rembrandt, Raphael and
Guido immortal, surpass dozens which can
be found there9 Is there more genius dis
played in the pastures or groupings! We
think not The critical observer will find
in this studio gems which should be price
less, and the patron of art enjoy an oppor-
tunity of filing his portfolio with faces
which would have rendered a student des-
perate twenty-five years ago.

Opera BoufFe at the Academy.

1t has been previously stated that we are
shortly to have Aimee's celebrated opera
bouffe company at the Academy. They are
now definitely announced to appear On the
twenty sixth instant. The company is COM
posed of forty three performers, justly coz
sidered the most talented and engaging On
the continent. 1t is something new to us,
and exhibits, on the part of Manager Bid
we'll, an enterprise and daring We could
scarcely have anticipated from theatrical
manager at this dull season Of the year.
But we think the result will justify the
venture. Our people are critical in their
tastes, and appreciate the elegant novel
ties they are called upon to patronize. They
have always found Mr. Bidwell possessed
Of a large and discriminating judgment,
and this new venture evinces his determine
ton to please his patrons at all hazards.
Aimee's troupe, as we have said, are un-
rivaled in their excellence. The New York
Herald, of the second instant, says of her:
Aimee's benefit last night was bumper.

sented an animated scene, perfectly in &C

Aimee was, in fact, the deserving recipient
of the heartiest appreciation, to say nothing
of the charming floral tributes literally
showered upon her. We have had occasion
to .allude to her admirable performance of
this favOrite role hut as if inspired last
night by the agreeable surroundings, she
eelipsed, if possible, her previous brilliant
efforts. Encores were frequent, and at
times the audience became enthusiastic in
their applause. Well sustained. as she was,
by NM. Noe, Duchesne, Edgard and others,
Aimee proved herself thorough artistic,
and 1t is safe to say that she has no superior
in her line upon the stage. Tonight - Les
Brigands' will be given, and the perform
ance of "Barbe Bleue" tomorrow evening,
for the benefit Of NJ. Noe, will bring the sea-
son to q close

The Academy Ball.

On tie night of Mardi Gras the managers
of the Academy will give one of the most
brilliant balls Of the season. Notwith-
standing the many inducements and attrac-
tons there are offered elsewhere, this
theatre intends not to be behind them in
point Of elegance or magniicence. and have
secured the most artistic workmen to make
the theatre ballroom for one evening.
The parQuette will be boarded over, and
suitable preparation made for those who do
not participate in the enjoyments Of the
evening.
In the usual time, experienced and popu-
lar caterers will furnish a grand supper.
All the choicest viands and delicacies will
be spread for the benefit off the assem-
blage.
The management also announce that they
are prepared to furnish masks and every
thing essential to make the occasion one of
unalioyed enjoyment.

Base Ball.

1t is announced elsewhere in an adver-
tiselnenu that the Lone Star and Empire
clubs will play on the Louisiana Base
Ball Park this afternoon. We rather
think, judging from the weak condition
of the Stars that both clubs are pretty
evenly matched, and an interesting game
may be looked for. This is fine chance
for visitors in our city to see a good game
of base ball. The game will commence at
halt-past two o'clock. We hope there will
be good attendance, as the boys should be
encouraged in the healthy pastime. The
St. Charles street and Carrollton cars take
you to the grounds.
