Onward Mission Festival.

One of the most interesting entertain
ments that has ever been gotten up for the
benefit of Sunday school, came Off last
evening at Stonewall Jackson Hall.
The hall was beautifully and artistically
decorated with evergreens and Scriptural
notices, and presented very pretty scene
On raised platform sat several visions
of loveliness clad in white, their hair taste
fully arranged, and robed in purity. Lovely
and innocent, they looked like angels. No
stage faces or dresses, no powder or paint
nothing but that artist nature gave them !;
they looked charming, and various were
the compliments that were bestowed upon
them by an admiring audience.
The exercises opened with one OF those
grand old hymns that stir the soul and
warm the heart of the Christian who loves
his Redeemer. Mr.. S A. Silcock then re-
cited in an able manner 'Bingen on the
Rhine" This gentleman gives promise OF
rising talent as an elocutionst and an actor.
He was followed by the Rev. Dr. Taylor,
who delivered in an eloquent manner
Scattered Deeds of Kindness
Recitations being the order of the evening
to certain extent, Mr.. Wilson gave the
we'll known piece of the Lost Heir" which
elected considerable applause; after which
Mr.. William Sharpless sang well known
song.
An intermission followed, and the audi
ence were condncted to a spacious supper
room, where all the delicacies of the season
were served.
The entertainment, comprising ventrilo,
quism, by Mr.. Scott, and the Old, old story
by Mr.. Taylor, the performance closing with
a series of dissolying views. The visitors
then dispersed, evidently well satisfied with
the evenings entertainment.

The Coleman Children

Tonight the celebrated Coleman children
receive their first benefit in this city, upon
which occasion one of the most powerful
and attractive bills will be produced. The
Coleman children will appear in all Of
their great pecialities-Misses Louie and
Clara in their double Irish jig, which is
truly wonderful. The little prodigies GER
tainly excel any thing in their line ever
before in this city.
Lolita has achieved a national reputation
in This and other cities, and her name, when
announced upon the boards, is sufficient to
fill any house, while those celebrated CJle-
man children have and do display more
talent in many respects than Lotta herself.
The reason of their not meeting with as
much success as their merits deserve Is that
thc community at large have not learned
their true merits. We venture 10 say If the
citizens OF New Orleans were fully aware of
the amusement in store for them at the st.
| Charles Theatre tonight, the house would
| not hold the people. We have witnessed
| their performance nightly, and pronounce
| them violets of the stage. AS this week
| will be the last opportunity of witnessing
| these wonderful prodigies for a long time
| and as to night is their benefit, nothing
would afford us greater pleasure than te
| see the house filed.
! On Saturday will be grand family mat
| inee for ladies and children, when the ex
citing drama entitled "Stolen by Gypsies'
| will be produced.

The Grand Duke to L0lia.

We have inadvertently omitted to mention
that before leaving the Grand Duke Alexis
made Lotta the recipient of an elegant tes
timonial Of bis admiration Of her az an
artist. lie had seen her play at the St
Charles Theatre. The bright, Deaning
little beauty had already left the city, but
the Grand Duke transmitted to one Of her
friends a bracelet, to be forwarded to her,
accompanied by the most tattering expires
sions of his esteem and appreciation. 1t is
a simple but elegant piece OF jowelry OF
European manufacture, set in with a tur-
quoise, two large pearls. and inlaid with
small diamonds, the edges of the bracelet
being exquisitely enameled in black. 1t Is
chaste, elegant present, and almost as
beautiful as the charming little fairy who is
its destined recipient. 1t is a crowning evi-
dence of the Dukes good taste when he SO
fully admires our favnrite.

The Continental Ball.

The long looked for mask and civic ball
of the Continental Benevolent Association,
for the benefit of the Lee monumental
fund, came off in grand style last evening
at Odd Fellows Hall. This affair has
occupied the attention of large committee
of our best citizens for some time past.
Everything that could possibly be pro-
cured for the entertainment of the guests,
everything that could possibly be wished
for by the most fastidious, was procured
regardless of expense. To say that they
were successful would be wasting time and
space 1t was successful beyond the most
sanguine expectations.
About nine o'clock the carriages of the
revelers drew up on Camp street, near the
hall, and for two hours constant stream
of visitors pour6 up the stairway.
In the saloon a scene Of magniticence
and splepdor greeted the eye. The spark
ling of the gas, the witty and everlasting
hum of voices, the smile of pretty women,
the gorgeous toilets Of the ladies, and the
stylish appearance of the masculine gender,
presented scene not often witnessed III
New Orleans The costumes were costly
and unique, many new features being pre-
sented.
The orchestra occupied prominent posi-
ton, and they discoursed enchanting and
bewitchipg music as announced by the pro-
gramme. To sit still during their perform
ance was simply an impossibility, for those
who did by perseverance remain in their
seats, their feet kept time with the music.
This association was organized in 1885,
They have cared for the widow and shell
tered the orphan, besides doing numerous
other charitable acts. The association
numbers about one hundred members.
The ball last night will long be remem-
bered by those who participated in its
delights.

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY on GRAFT


The Boston Atlantic MostAly, recog-
nised as tho leading Republican magazine
Of the United States, In its political de-
psrtmeut thus discossses about General
Grant aud his administration
"Neither the Cincinnati Commrrcial,
nor the Chicsgo Tribune, nor the Spring

are many reasons, too. Why General Grants

ted by other people. As rule, military
men are not the stuff to make good states
men for an unmilitary and commercial So
ciety. For the most part, they entertain
a professional contempt tor law, even when
they avow their loyalty to it. Of this Pc
culiarity, General Grants admini tratiou
has given at least one illustration. De-
claring himself firmly opposed to inter
vention in the affairs of foreign nations, he
has for sometime past maintained a pro
tectorate of San Domingo, which is in re-
ality, an illegal war against Hayti, carried
on in the teeth Of distinct provision Of
the Constitution. Again, Gen. Grant
seems ignorant Of the eleme ntary princi-
pies of economical science to the extreme
of believing that the chief source of wealth
Of this country is to be found in the mines
of California. His system Of appointments
has been unintelligible. Appointments
such as Mr.. Murphy's and Consul Gen.
eral Buffers are possible, we see, because
commissions have been issued to them /;
but how the same man who appointed MIR.
Murphy and consul General Butler should
also have appointed Mr.. Fish and Judge
Hoar is inexpIicable. Besides ell this he
has shown singular want Of delicacy, to
say the least, in receiving innumerable
presents, and indirectly pru6iing himself
out of Government contracts. To own
stock in commercial enterprise is one
thing, but to own stock in corporation
which is daily making valuable contracts
with the departments at Washington is for
the President Of the United States. quite
another. We do not impugu his honesty.
He is no doubt innocent Of all shares in
the management of the administration
quarry but such scandal ought not to
be possible"
