Mr.. II. Miles Moore. of Leavenwor,h,
started in come time ago in the Lezvenworth
Commercial, to write his recollections of q
busy life in Kansas. This step started Col
McCrea, who has for weak or more been
fighting his battles with the Border Rufians
over again in the Lesvenworth TINES. In
the course of his remarks Mr.. McCrea
has shaken his CORY locks at Judge ). d.
Lecompte. who responds in q card in the
Commercial in which he says four courses
are open to him: l. fight; 2 right; 3.
keep still; 4. prosecute. As to the first he
don't want to; second, he shan't; third. he
can't; fourth, he will, If he hears any more
abuee. We trust the drouth will attack Mr..
McCrea, or in other words that be will "dry
up" and that Judge Lecompte will not
prosecute. 1t seems to US that it il about
time that the 1856 difficulty was settled. II
is currently reported that "John Browns

their attention to improving the breed Of

Musical and Literary EAtessainAnenss

The Presbyterian Church on Napoleon
avenue needed funds 20 complete the in
terror, and it was necessary to resort 70
some genteel method TO obtain the required
sum Of dollars. Among Che friends Of the
church is considerable amount OF talent,
musical and literary. 1t was arranged 20
give an entertainment in which this talent
might be made available. A programme
was easily arranged at little expense, and
the price of tickets fixed at low figure
OF course, those who were cast il the pro-
gramme volunteered their services. After
some few disadvantageous circumstances
had been overcome, it was agreed to give
the entertainment in Exposition Hall last
evening, and all who attended will
experienced. A pertinent recitation by
Mr.. j. b. Guthrie was well rem
dered and received with applause
Waiting" by Miss 4. Ludwick. was
given in a style that professional might
envy. A scene from Hamlet" by Mr.. c. =.
Buck was delivered in splendid style. Tine
song ''Til be no submissive wife," by Miss
A. Ludwick was loudly encored and
artistically sung. A duet ny Miss I. &.
Witherell and Mr.. G. W. Doll was superb
and elected hearty applause. "Schneider's
party. by Mr.. Hisgin, in costume, pleased
the audience extremely well. He made
himself reputation in the effort. 1.-The
Savoyard's return" quartette, by the Misses
Gruneberg sisters, was splendidly sung
drawing forth repeated calls for repeti-
ton, but as the programme was long they
could not crafty their many admirers.
Mr.. Mason was to have discussed his miuce
pie, but business called him heace, and
Mr.. j. Il. Guthrie supplied his place, al
though the undertaking was diff
ticult one indeed. However, he proved
equal to the occasion, aquitt!ng him
self credltably, keeping the large au-
d;ence in a continual smile. Az aria
sung by Miss NJ. Gruneberg, was
really splendid, giving the young lady an
opportunity to prove that she has one OF
the finest voices in New Orleans.
So well pleased was the audience with
the entire performance that there was a
general hope expressed that it will be re-
peated. Even blase reporter was deeply
interested in each part, and that is com
pliment full of meaning.
