The Opera of Lucretia b Orgia

Last evening, for the first time in several
years, Donizetti's grand opera of "Lucretia
Borgia" was sung here, and those who were
so fortunate as to hear it may we'll congratu-
late themselves.
The house, though not crowded, was quite
we'll filled, and if numbers we're at all lack
ing, the want was supplied by an extra
amount of enthusiasm on the part of those
who were there.
The music, as might be expected from a
plot wherein beautiful woman INDUCED
in the pastime of poisoning everybody
around her, is deeply dramatic, and abOunds
in passages of intense fervor and passion,
atfordiDg great artist like Miss Levelli a
splendid chance for the display of tragic
power. This lovely singer, in the title role,
carried the audience away by her rendition
of the part. Though suffering all the while
from bad cold, she sang with telling effect,
and executed the difficult music in the first
act to the entire satisfaction of the audience.
As an actress she is really remarkable, and
we were much surprised to learn that last
evening was her first appearance as Lu-
cretia. 1t was a magnificent piece of acting,
and deserves more than passing notice.
Mr.. Blum. as Genao, surprised his
friends by the warmth and earnestness
manifested in his singing, and he shared in
the applause so lavishly bestowed during
the evening.
Mr.. Coulon as Don 1lphonse, sang I'M
usuaIly we'll adding TO the effectiveness of
the music by his careful and conscientious
attention to the details of acting. He was
heartily applauded.
The role of OtsiAi is generally sung by Il
contralto, and we were quite surprised to
find Mr. Solve cast in the part. We do not
like the style of dress he adopts for the
character, and though he sang we'll, we are
sorry to see him SO careless in matters of
acting. 1t is offensive to see an actor take
a cup, go through the motions of having
it filled with wine, and then, while
singing the song, gesticulate so abominably
as to turn the cup upside down half-a-
dozen times, and when the song is ended
pretend to drink from that necessarily
empty goblet. 1t is simply absurd.
Tonight we are to be favored with
Faust" and Delabranche in the title role
in place of Blum. Naddi is cast for Mar
guerite. We had hoped before this to see
Nine. Durand in that character, and
think it would please the public to have
the roles varied when it can be done, as in
this instance.

lydia ThOmpsOn.

Lydia Thompson and her troupe OF
blondes opened at the Academy on Sunday
evening to an overlooking audience. Nc
better appreciation could New Orleans give
of a favorite's talent than by filling the
house from top to bottom. The Academy
has not for long time seen such an audi
ence as 1t contained on Sunday night
Last night Lydia appeared in Blue
Beard,' a burlesque in two acts. The piece
itself is of no worth. of no plot; but its olio
performance is splendid. 1t abounds in in
teresting incidents and novel effects. All
through the performance duets, vo-
calisms and ludicrous acts astonish
and please the audience. Among them
is the Heather Chinee. Mr.. Willie
Edouin assumes the celestial, who knows
nothing "of ways that are dark and OF
tricks that are vain. yet who beats Bte
Beord out of his wealth This character, as
assumed by Mr.. Edouin, is the best imper-
sonation of the - Heather that has ever
been attempted. SO perfect is the acting
and disguise that. for few moments, the
audience could not believe but what it was
Bret Hartes Heather. The rest OF the
cast is carried out by the members OF the
company in a style that does them credit.
Harry Beckett and Miss Thompson are so
well known to our play goers that it would
be useless to eXtol their merits.

Tint White Flower.

An infatuated gentleman, said to be at
tached to the suite of the Grand Duke
Alexis, has been in constant attendance
upon every performance given by Miss
Lydia Thompson since her engagement in
st. Louis, where it is supposed he first saw
her, in company with his Imperial highness'
when he attended the performance OF the
troupe at the Olympic Theatre. Attention
was first attracted by the presentation to
Miss Thompson of white flower, either IN
the form of a rose or camelia. every eve
ming in Memphis and Mobile. Last night
full-blown white camelia was thrown at the
fair Lydias feet, after her rendition OF his
Heart Was True to Poll" We shall watch
for the white flower" tonight.

Lolita.


Again the ST. Charles Theatre was filled
with a large and exceedingly fashionable
audience last evening, the occasion being
the second performance of John Brougham S
dramatization of Charles Dickens ex-
qusite story of the "Old Curiosity Shop" or
Little Nell and the Warehouses" To
make the performance more attractive, Ben
DeBar appeared as Dick Swieeller, IN which
impersonation he is almost without a rival.
Lotta's impersonation is peculiarly adapted
to that lady. 1t gives her chance to dis
play her Versatility. She sang several comic
duets with Mr.. DeBar, which caused con-
siderable applause. Mark Quinlan assumed
the character of Sampson Bross, and it is
needless to say that he acted it to life.
The play itself is rather sensational, but
does not abound in that vulgar sensation of
the plays Of modern times. No one is muir
dered, no railroad escapes, no leaps from
precipices, or anything of that sort, but a
simple story Of life, probably little exag-
gerated, but yet SO true that many persons
see home pictures depicted in the play.
This story is one that most every one has
read, and to see the living characters de-
lights ones soul. No better opportunity
can be offered, and every one that wishes
to spend pleasant evening should go by
all means and see Lolita.
The same piece will be repeated tonight

The Bluff Game.

We hardly think the Lieutenant Cover
nor displayed proper determination to
protect the Senate from insult yesterday.
When the compact between the Democratic
and so-called Republican members, to run
the Senate as close corporation, was under
discussion, and before any names were
called, Senator Smith, with unseemly haste,
denied participation in such league, and
threatened to call any one who might &C
cuse him to account with 'Colts re-
volver." Time will develop whether Smith s
linen is less spotted than that of his fellow
voyagers on the Wilderness, but, in the
meanwhile, his language in the Senate
chamber should be made to partake less OF
the character of the Gem saloon and Clay
statue orations. The game of bluff" should
be followed by little whist from Smiths
side, of the house.

vious week, and l26,929 three weeks since.
| The total receipts since September are
I.7O3, 900 bales. against 9, 048 624 for the cor
responding period of the previous year,
| showing decrease since September OF 345,-
| O24 bales. The exports from all ports for
the week are 81 $50, against us, 349 bales for
the same week last year.
The total exports for the expired portion
of the cotton year are 9O9, 497 bales. against
l,2I9,j4S for the same time lass year. The
stock at all ports is 5ll ,226 bales, against
DAG, 476 for the same date last year. The
stocks at interior towns are 96,706 bales,
against III. l79 bales last year. The stock
in Liverpool is 49, 900 bales, against 900
last year. The American cotton atioat for
Great Britain is l69, 900 bales, against 1885,
600 last year The Indian cotton atloat for
Europe is 100000 bales, against $4,000 last
year.
New YORK, January ELECTION was
heavy and lower early in the week, but
afterward improyed; sales for the week
| reached 100. 900 bales, of which $4,000 bales
were for future delivery and 10000 bales on
the spot, to arrive. Spot cotton exporters
took about 300 bales, spinners 6l00 bales,
and spectators 1900 bales.
New YORK, January 2l.-Hog products
have been i'll good demand for export, with
an advance in prices. Beef and dairy pro-
ducts have been firm. Tallow and hops
have been more active at steady prices.
Whisky has declined. and the activity IN
wool has subsidized. Tobacco has been IN
fair demand at full prices. Naval stores
have advanced with more business doing
Petroleum has been firm, but closed with
some little reaction. In other domestic
products the movement has not been I'M
portant.
The domestic produce markets were gen
orally unsettled during the week: anu Dusl-
ness has been active only in few OF the
leading staples at the Produce Exchange.
The fluctuations in breadstutfs have not,
been important, and the general tone of the
marker has been heavy, with decline in
corn. The scarcity of freight room to
Great Britain, in consequence of the few
steamers sailing from this port during the
week, has had tendency to check the ex-
port business in breadstutfs. Foreign
steamship companies now have a monopoly
of the business by steam between New
York and Europe, and hence there is great
irregularity in the sailing of steamers dur
ing the winter months. Our merchants feel
the great want of American competition in
this carrying trade, and Congress can not
act too promptly in adopting some practical
measures looking to the recuperation OF
American shipping interests.
