s,.,,a M he course of this city in the
{. S a... !, gard to railroad enterprises has
~ I6aracterised in every instance BY
!, dible wisdom. Wheeling has made
tveral ,blunders In that direction; and the
remembrance Of these in the shape Of an
nuAl taxes makes our people the more
careful not to repeat them. About thu
worst ofthose blunders was the throwing
away Of q quarter Of million dollars or
avid cat organization which ptoposet
to build q road from this city to Marietta
The road was never built and the sub
scription was dead loss. It would
not have been lost II the city had
exActed adequate security before making
the subscription. II isto escape a repeti
ton Of that disaster that We have urged
that the proposed subscription to The
Wheeling s Lake Erie Railroad should
notb be made unless the city were guaran
teed absolute security against loss in the
event the organization having the enter.
prise In hand should tailNto carry II
through. Is not this reasonable and pru.
dent on the part Of our city, Was Il
not our duty TO advise such precau.
tlons? We have done go from the first;
but an obstacle to making the subscrip-
ton at all has been discovered in the new
State constitution; and that ends the
whole business.
II the W. & L. 4. Company is really
able to go on and build its road, making
Martins Ferry the terminus, we shall re
joice in the success Of the enterprise, ant
in the prosperity Of our neighbOrs; ant
shall freely acknowledge our want Of con
tidence to have been mistaken. If TIT
event should turn out otherwise, WI
shall need no other vtndication of tn,

A large house was attracted at the st.
Charles last evening by the announcement
of the benefit of Paul Martinetti. This
gentleman, who is the chief attraction of
the Martinetti-RaveI troupe, has many
friends in this city who attested their ap-
probation by filing the house to overflow
ing. The performance was one Of the most
interesting of the season, but the audience
felt little disappointed at his not perform
ing the wonderful velocipede act; but one
of the wheels became disarranged, and he
could not do it then, but will this evening.
The little can-canists were the recipients
of beautiful bouquet much larger than
themselves. Mr.. William Huntley played
the "Chimes" in his characteristic manner,
and sang his exquisite vOcalisms in a
manner that brought down the house at
every song.
This evening an entirely new bill will be
offered, and our citizens should not fail to
witness the performance of the Martinetti-
Ravel troupe.

MAGNOLIA school PICNIC.

The lads and lasses of the Magnolia
School enjoyed holiday, and had their
annual picnic yesterday at the Oakland
Riding Park. 1t required about half a
dozen street cars to convey them to and
from the park. When sthey rode down Ca
rondelet street yesterday morning about
ten o'clock the boys were boisterOus in their
shouts, while they we're simply hilarious on
their return in the evening as they passed
up St. Charles street.
They hugely enjoyed the sports of the
day and the novelty of picnic at the
park, and, like good boys and girls, they
will give all the closer attention to their
studies in consequence of this healthful di-
version from the tedium and mOnotony of
school rooms.
The enjoyment of our reporter was equal
to that of the pupils Of Magnolia School, to
whom he wishes happiness in the future.

1t is amusing to read the Eastern dis
patches which state that Mr.. Greeley's
friends are trying to persuade him to make
hermit of himself, pending the canvass,
indiscretion of speech that would damage
his chances for election. A Presidential
candidate wearing muzzle and straight
jacket would be an edifying spectacle.
There is no necessity for making her
NIT of Grant, as there is no danger of his
saying anything to hurt himself, except
quoting the famous speech of Carolina's
once popular Governor. A cigar and mill
tary uniform do him for muzzIe and straight
jacket effectiv ely enough already.

Picnic of Chestnut Stockholders.

The picnic Of the Chestnut School came
off at Magnolia Park, Algiers, yesterday.
The school is under the supervision of Mrs.
Teresa Loves as principal, and Mrs. NJ. A.
Martinez as assistant. The girls depart
ment is in charge of Mrs. Katie Kicker, as
sisted by Miss Louise Seymour and Miss
Stansberry.
The picnic was a success. Every body en-
joyed themselves to their hearts content.
What a pleasure it is to see the children en-.
jOying themselves, romping, skipping, dane.
ing, amusing themselves in every way I'M
aginable! 1t was their holiday, and they
were going to enjoy it. The teachers, too
seemed to take kindly to this release from
their daily labor. Everything passed OF al
pleasantly as one could wish.
The park was furnished to the schoo
gratuitously by the propnetors, Messrs
John Lario and Rooney. They also fur
nished the dance music for the children
Our reporter returns especial thanks tt
Mrs. Lowe and Mrs. Martinez for the many
kind favors he received at their hands. HI
also returns thanks TO Miss Louise Seymour
for courteous attention.

Since the days of Aimee, Lydia Thomp
son and the palmy times of the "BlaeE
Crook" there has not been such an i'm
mense audience congregated in the Acad
envy as last evening. This unusual crowd
was collected through the fundamentally
of the numerous friends and acquaintance
Of Mr.. Kittredge, who, wishing to show
their appreciation anG respect for him,
thought they could do it in no better way
than to give him bumper" of benefit.
Their scheme was a success, and they surely
did not ''make a mistake
The programme was full of novelties, and
was received with rapturous applause.
Seldom has there been more thoroughly
pleased audience. The company seemed
inspired, and the whole performance passed
off in such a manner that it will be long
time before the audience viii forget the
benefit of Mr. Kittredge.

In THE RoGUEs' GALLERY.-P Olice Super
intendent Badger having transferred nine
frames of his rogues' gallery to the Expo
sition building, some Of the living illus
trated are greatly annoyed. One of the
aforesaid, while viewing the wonders of
art yesterday, had the pleasure Of seeing
his photograph in one of the frames, aud
his honest indignation was great thereat.
Leaving the hall, he soon returned, accom-
panied by two handsome young men. They
proceeded directly to where the pictures are
visible, and their actions betrayed their in
tentiOn. Fortunately, an employe hap
pened to know the young man, and guessed
his intention to break the frame and de-
mOlish the pictures. A timely warning
prevented trouble.

pennItu al Reinr a BAD Bor,

One of the boys attending tae jackson
School, on Magazine street, yesterday, dur
ing the fire in that vicinity, told an untruth
to the teacher, to whom he represented that
the fire was at his home or its immediate
vicinity, and thus obtained permission to
leave the school.
A heavy fire engine, rushing along the
street, ran over this boy, on its mission to
the fire, and injured him so seriously that
his life is despaired of. The teacher, on
learning this fact, took occasion to admon-
ish the other scholars as to the penalty OF
being bad boy. The moral is that boys
should never tell an untruth to get out of
school during a fire

In these times of great political excite

remind persons of all parties of certain
duties that can not be neglected without
running the risk of serious loss. Among
these duties can be numbered that of pro-

Louisiana State Lottery. The daily single

First Industrial Exposition-Ftth Da,


Yesterday there were still other displays
of machinery in Power Hall, and last
evening visitors to the fine arts hall enjoyed
the pleasures of gazing upon additional
beauties adjoining the walls or occupying
stands, cases and tables. The ladies and
gentlemen who promenade these spacious
halls one evening do SO again and again,
and the Exposition building is becoming a
fashionable resort during these warm eve
nings, where cool breezes ventilate the
rooms and render them pleasant and agree
able.
The railroads and steamboats, centering
in the city will, during the Exposition,
bring visitors in at half rates, as an induce
ment for them to visit the Exposition, and
we presume the city will be crowded by
those who will come at these promptings.
The Southwestern Exposition Association
has already assured success, because the
display is good, and admission only twenty
five cents.
