Edwin Adams. ,

"Enoch Arden" was produced to a large
and extremely fashionable audience last
evening. 1t is rare occurrence to see a
large assembly Of ladies at Saturday
night performance, but at the Varieties
this wonderful and strange phenomenon
may be witnessed every Saturday evening.
Miss Dargen does not seem to improve IN
her impersonation of Annie She still
lacks the power Of assuming emotion. She
utterly disregards the author in the second
act-her parting with Philip She lacks
that tenderness which is supposed to be
the characteristic of Enoeh's loving wife.
No amount Of stage tears or gestures can
make up for this part, and it does seem that
melo-drsma is not the par excellence OF
Miss Dargon. In comedy she ranks above
the average of leading ladies, but IN such
characters as she assumed last evening,
which is intended for an emotional actress,
she is not success.
Mr.. Adams appeared to disadvantage,
troubled with cold or sore throat, which
rendered his words almost inaudible to the
audience in the rear of the house.
The scene on the tropical island is mar
velous piece of ingenious mechanism, tri-
umph in stage scenery. The scene was as
natural as could be wished for, or that
could be produced. All the fruits of the
tropics were scattered promiscuously over
the stage, and presented beautiful and
bewildering scene, almost dazzling the eye
and rescues Enoch the enthusiasm of the
audience breaks away, and they attest their
appreciation of this truly grand scene by
long and loud applause.
The piece will be repeated until the mid
die of next week, when the Red Light
will he prOduced

THE SnuIhMesIerns; Ball.

a small Dat select number attended the
ball of the Southwestern Lodge Of Odd Eel
lows last evening. The hall was tastefuily
decorated with the banners of the lodge and
numerous other inscriptions Some few
masks appeared upon the floor, but the
larger part OF the crowd were dressed in
ordinary ball and evening dress.
The ball was kept up until a seasonable
hour, when the participants dispersed with
JOY and happiness beaming upon their faces,
and 10 doubt it will be long time before
they forget the pleasure Of the ball given by
the South westerns"

Potatoes and onions are esculents L

possess universal value, but the qualities
and varieties are so numerous that some
times purchasers are in doubt as to where
to go and buy. This doubt can always be
solved by reading the advertisements of
Messrs. J. c. Murphy & Co., No. 36 Poydras
street, who not only have large stock of
the choicest varieties Of potatoes and onions
in store and on shipboard, but they have a
reputation for selling on very reasonable
terms whether parties seek to buy one
barrel or one hundred barrels.

FURNISHING GOODS FOR THE MARDI GRAs
BALLs.-Gentlemen who intend partici
pating in the festivities OF Mardi Gras,
should by all means take advan-
tage of the opportunity offered by Mr..
S. N. Moody, to fit themselves out with
tie most recherche cravats, shirts, neck
ties, gloves, etc, ever seen in this city
The beauty of the goods just opened by
Moody, is that they are all OF the very lat
est spring styles-nothing of the like hav-
ing yet reached here before, and SO they are
designed expressly for Mardi Gras balls.
They are more elegant than can well be
imagined without inspection. We will ven
ture to say that one of the first things
which the Grand Duke Alexis does after ar
irving here, is to go to Moody and rig him.
self out-in fact he will not prove himself
the man OF taste he is reported to be, if he
does not. To come to New Orleans with
out going to see Moody, is like visiting
Rome and failing to see the Coliseum.

PREcAUTIoN.-It is known to the police
and others that an unusual number OF
thieves have arrived, expecting to reap a
viIainous harvest Mardi Gras. Pickpocksts
will be around on the streets, sneak thieves
will improve the opportunity, and burglars
will take every advantage Of residences
without inmates. When people leave their
houses they should be unusually careful
about fastenings, and when on the streets
look out sharply for pockets.
