on CARONDELET STREET.

The news was gradually circulated that
some onslaught would be made On Ammo
MIA to put head on it and lay it down. 1t
is stock which had been quoted at sos
and $50. and no news had arrived which
would diminish its value. The surprise was
great when it was said this stock had been
sold at $40 and $40, and, indeed, other sales
made are reported at si4 and $40. If it be
true that combination has been made to
develop bear. it certainly succeeded as
far as this stock is concerned.
A joke was attempted yesterday in the
resurrection of Mississippi Valley Levee
stock, which everyone had thought dead,
based on the bill which had been intro-
duced in Congress appropriating $4,000
mile to aid in building the levees under al
rection of the Mississippi Valley Levee
Company. Nobody. took this hoax. Shares
were spoken of as worth $3.50 a thousand,
but the real purpose of the affair seemed to
be bit of pleasantly.
The demand for cotton is slowing down
and the market threatens dizziness again
Immediately. The oracle IS dubious and
hopes grow slim.

Base Ball.

On Sunday next, the twenty-fourth in
stant at the Park, the Lees and Excelsiors
will play the third game of the series for
the whip penant. The Excelsiors will be
considerably strengthened by the return Of
Smith. their former first baseman, to his ole
position, which he plays in No. style: The
boys in gray Will endeavor by almost daily
practice to defeat the gallant Excelsiors
second time, and therefore we advise all
admirers of base ball to witness the game,
which will no doubt be close and exciting
to the end. Our readers should also recol-
lect that the great game of the season OF
1879 takes place at the Park on Sun day,
April :, between the invincible r. f. Lees
and the crack Lone Stars.

4 Joke Explained.

In our report Yesterday morning of the
tenth ward Reform meeting, it was written !:
'The Finance Committee reported s. 10 as
collected, from which $40 were to be taken
for advertising in the Picay,tae and other
incidental expenses. 1t was not stated
what use the balance would be applied to-
The printer who had that take the
proof-reader and the copy holder, having
the idea that the Reform party represent
ing the two hundred and thirty editors of
the Picayo,,le. most Of them merchants, was
as liberal as it is wealthy, presumed that
$50 was the amount collected, instead OF
So 10, and SO our joke was spoiled as to the
disposition of the ''balance' after taking
$40 from s. 10. Hence the necessity of
this explanation.

THE CITY HALL.

The Council at their session yesterday
monthly expenses of the different depart
ments. They show noticeable decline in
expenditure and saving to the city, which
will commend itself to the approval of even
the Committee Of Fifty-one.
The mattee which will probably most Sc
riously engage the attention Of the Admin
istrators shortly will be the purchase of
drainage machinery. AS soon as the canal
along the line Of the old Carrollron railroad
is completed, draining machinery will have
to be erected at the lake end, and at other
points, to make the.'new canals effective.
The Administrator of Commerce proposes
to devote the steamboat landing at the head
of Erato street to the use OF flats. This
wharf il designed to accommodate steamers
loaded with cotton in the midst of the bust
ness season, and have the effect of greatly
relieving the pressure on the levee. There
is ample room now in more central local.
ties, and until the busy season again com
mences the wharf uptown will not be re-
quired. \ petition, numerously signed,
protests against moving the flats higher up
than Erato street.
The Administrator of Improvements has
directed the removal of the platform in
front of the City Hall, and the work OF
demolition will commence Immediately.
The Administrator of Finances is still
paying appropriations authorized by ordi-
nance No. 1895. The next certificates to be
paid will be those issued OF the September
payrolls of city officers.
The bills for city tax of 1871, amounting
to two per cent, are ready for delivery at
the office of the Administrator OF Finance
Payment tor the ctty's proportion will be re-
ceived in certificates of appropriation, Met
ropolitan Police warrants, and certificates
for amounts paid in excess of ten per cent
on tax bills of 1870. But the amount due
for interest on the bonded debt must be
paid in cash. Taxpayers are reminded that
the new charter makes it the duty of the
Administrator of Finance to collect these
bills, and that they are exigible by law be-
fore the Legislature can meet again. 1t is
a vain hope, therefore, for delinquents to
expect any relief by delay. The Admins
traitor of Finance will assuredly enforce the
law against delinquents in justice to those
who pay promptly.

The NInn o. Airlie.

The production of that profoundly pa
thetic play entitled "The Man O. Airlie," at
the Varieties Theatre, has given Mr.. Bar
rett another opportunity to prove to the
lovers of the fine arts his great merits as an
actor.
There is nothing unnatural in the play,
and excepting the character Of George
Erandon. which is creditably enough per
formed by Mr.. Pitou, the characters repre-
sent tie better feelings Of human nature.
The gist of the piece consists in showing the
noble traits of character conferred in flames
HarebeU. He is pure hearted, gener-
Qua Scotchman, with a heart full OF
the milk Of human kindness, and a
soul fired with true poesy and deep
affection for a noble wife, two darling babes,
and tie charmes of delightful rural home.
Possessed OF rare treasures, and mind that
knew no guile. he looked only upon the bright
side of life In this mood james HurcjeA first
confdes in George Brandon. whom he takes
to be friend and admirer of his genius
This friend cruelty deceives and robs him
self and family of their pleasant country
home, where they reveled in the charms OF
rural life. and amid the songs of the Joyous
birds and the fragrance of wild flowers
knew nothing but happiness. The conduct
of Brandon results in the premature death
of Nary, the devoted wife of James Hare
bell, and shortly after her death the young
est child dies and the father, from his deep
affection for his lost wife and child becomes
a wandering maniac.
Mr.. Barrett's rendition of all the phases
of this most interesting character makes ii
life like and perfect, and establishes him as
an actor of uncommon versatility Of talent,
and even genius, when the play demands
it. The Mary HaryjeU of Miss lone Burke
is a perfect picture of handsome, kind,
true wife. The Kate Steelnaan Of Miss M.
L. Gordon is also rendered with much judg-
ment. Saunders is well executed by Mr.
Howson. In fact, it is hardly right to in
dividualize where the characters are all so
well sustained as they are in the production
of ''The Man o. Airlle" at the Varieties. The
scenery is grand, and the play IS superbly
presented in every respect.
The play is followed by most amusing
farce entitled, "The Skeleton Captain, or
Blue-eyed William in which Stuart Rob
son as Coptain Coriolanus Crosstree cuts
highly ridiculous figure and keeps the
house in a roar of laughter. He is ably as
sisted, particularly by Miss Murdoch as the
charming Susan, Miss Madden as the
pretty little RaLer, an ideal smuggler, and
Miss Reynolds as the serene NGtchet, a
deal smuggler.
These two pieces have been played thus
far with great success, and will continue
for the balance cf the week With Law
renee Barrett, the reigning star and a
very able company to sustain him. the Va
rieties can not tail to be a great centre Of
attraction for those who appreciate elc-
gance and refinement.

Percy ROselle.

The voung Edmund Kean, Percy Roselle,
a boy OF fifteen Years, will make his debut
next Monday evening at the Academy OF
Music. The British press, including the
London Times, mention young Roselle in
the most fattering terms. The Worth Brito''
says:
To see Roselle act Shylock or Hamlet is
amazing indeed. for in these characters he
shows an intelligence and discrimination
which would make many Hdntlets and Shy
locks blush 1t is Enthusiastically quite absurd
for Master Roselle to assume these parts, but
really when we see the boys acting We can
forgive and forget the absurdity of the
thing. His acting in these Sbakespearean
parts has not been hammered into him. for
had it been so he could not act so WE'LL no
one can act with the discretion and tact
of little Roselle who has had it hammered
into him. If the talent and aptitude were
not in the boy, naturally it would be hard
to force him to play in the manner he does.
He must have been well tutOred, and has
initiated to a considerable extent, but there
has been little of the hammering system
with Percy His Doctor OTOOl, Johnny
BuGd, and host of miscellaneous paris
have created much mirth and admiration
during his stay here, and we feel certain
that the public regret his departure. AS
much comment is atloat regarding the age
of Master ROselle, some setting him down
at fifteen and others at sixteen years OF age,
we may just say at once, to settle the mat
ter land we have it from the best authority
that little Percy Roselle is now only eleven
wears of age, and he may indeed be called
the greatest prodigy of the day.

being unanimously adopted, the reporters
had nothing more to do.

ONE WAY TO GET HIS MONEY BACK
Charles kier was the possessor of over S2l7,
which fact came to the knowledge of timid
Joseph Graves, a weak young man not alto
gether unknown to the police, who are so
unkind as to say rough things about him.
Joseph wished to feel of that lucre, there

assisted by polite confederates, who took

began to open, and they continued to swell
