DOIninick Murray.

The engagement of this popular character
actor and delineator of the true, genuine
irshman is drawing 20 a close. His imper-
sonation of Aurty KctaNy in the play of q
Gambler Crime" develops his best talent,
and wins for him the unbounded admiration
of those who delight 20 see him on the
stage. If it were not the season of Lent,
the capacity of the st. Charles Theatre
would be tested by the crowds who would
be attracted there by the dramatic abilities
Of Mr.. Murray. As it is he has respectable

Among the distinguished visitors now in
New Orleans are Hon. Alexander K.
| Shepherd one of the wealthiest citizens of
Washington and leading member of the
municipal government of the capital city as
well as of the government of the Territory
of Columbia. Mr.. Shepherd is a man of rs
markable force of character and indOmita-
bic energy, and it is well deserved praise to
say that to him, more than to any other
single individual. belongs the credit of max
ing Washington one of the handsomest OF
cities, and worthy to be the central point IN
this great American nation. In our pleasure
at meeting our old friend in New Orleans.
we find but one alloy-his visit was ordered
by his physicians.
Mr.. George Mills. one Of BaltimOre's
wealthiest merchants, and Colonel George
Gideon, who has been identified with all ben
eficia public enterprises in Washington for
the past quarter o: century, accompany
Mr.. Shepherd, the party being Vholesomely
guarded by that mos, genial OF gentlemen.
Hon. A. b. Mullett. supervising architect
of the United States. To the latter gentle
man is this community vastly indebted for
Transforming that unsightly pile of granite,
yelept the CustomhOuse, into = pretty fair
building. and for the prospect of its speedy
completion. We have his pledge that this
people" shall have as little as possible 60
regret when this long delayed event shall
be consummated.
In company with Hons. L. A. sheldon and
Frank Morey. the gentlemen above named
paid visit to tho Marine Hospital yester'
day atternoen, Mr.. Mulett being anxious to
make arrangements for the final disposition
of this useless but costly federal property.
In future article we may have some sug-
gestions to make on this subject. Suffice it
now to return thanks TO Mr.. Stevenson and
his assistant. who run the city Insane
ASYLUM in ono wing Of the building, for
their eourtesies to their unex pected visitors.
Messr.. Mullett and Shepherd are accom-
panied by their wives, and all are at the
