Noted Arrivals from Cuba.

On the steamship Yazoo, which reached
this port yesterday. Hon. Columbus Delano
Secretary of the Interior. and Ex-Governor
Joseph T. Brown, OF Georgia, with their
families, were passengers. They are at the
st. Charles Hotel, where they will remain
until tomorrow morning only, unless they
| shall conclude to accept an invitation which
has been given by our great steam plow
| farmer, Hon. Ethngham La Trence, to visit
his Magnolia plantation to-day, in which
case they will remain another day.
1t is seldom Cabinet officer visits New
Orleans, and it is to be hoped Secretary De-
Iano will remain long enough to ascertain
the true condition of Louisiana, agricultu-
rally by visiting the plantation Of one who,
like himself, is an extensive farmer, as well
as politically, and particularly the views Of
the people of this sugar growing State upon
the recent stand the administration has
taken on the Cuban question. Numbers OF
our leading citizens called and paid their
respects to Mr.. DelanO last evening. and
found him improved in health by his short
visit to Cuba, the ostensible object at leas
OF his winter voyage to that sunny, but dis
turbed and unhappy island.
He speaks very favorably of the present
Captain General, Cevallas. who is probably
a great improvement on DeRodas and Val
maseda, under the latter of whom the most
unparalleled brutality was permitted. both
by him and his superiors. He, as a matter
of course, also praises the beauty and rich
ness of the island. But all who know Mr
DelanO's course and character as free
sOiler, will not need to ask what are his
views of Cuban slavery and coolie traffic.
He must, more than ever, after having Wis
tied Cuba, join with that great Spanish
Republican CASTELAR,, who spoke for the
minority in the COrtes, saying; " 1t wishes
the chains of the slave 10 be broken, so that
we may not be a monstrous exception
amidst the nations of the world"
We Louisiana Republicans wish to see
the same thing. We, with the admins tr a.
ton, do not longer want state of things
in Cuba which is continually exerting a
disturbing effect upon any portion OF our
society, and threatening to involve the
national peace: and whether Cuba is to re-
main part of Spain, become independent
or gravitate to the bosom of our Union, we
wish her to enjoy freedom and good institu
tions. And though it is not our purpose to
incite another expedition of filibusters
against "the ever-faithful isle," we trust
and believe Mr.. Delano's visit thither N ay
eveniuate in more forcibly impressing our
policy upon Spain, and advance our enter
prise IN the tropical islands in spite of
Spanish or other emissaries.

The Times will publish tomorrow an inter-
view with President Watson, Of the Erie
failWay who states that the report that
the company is about to issue SIC, 600 900
OF convertible bonds is correct that the
road had floating debt of between
$4,000 900 and S4,000000, which has
been incurred for construction.
and 1t was intended TO devote part of the
proceeds of the sale of $40, ,0O0,0O0 of the
projected issue of bonds to the taking up of
TINS construction debt. The remainder of
the proceeds to be devoted entirely to tho
change from broad TO a narrow gauge, of
which the road stands in need Watson
regarded the matter as settled and ex-
pressed no doubts concerning the decision
of the directors tomorrow, when asked as
to the ros ibility of declaring dividend
upon preferred stock
Watson said the matter would probably
come up before the board tomorrow, and
he was resolved that no dividend should be
paid unless it can be honestly declared from
the earnings.
The Times also says, in seeming confirma-
ton of the rumOrs latterly ahoat, that the
stocks given by Jay Gould in part claim of
the Erie corporation were at one time
woi th something like their face value, but
since they were withdrawn from the mar
ket and held in the safes of Jay Gould for
nearly year, they have deprecated in
value and in many instances are almost
worthless. 1t will take large amount of
money to clear off the mortgage on this prop
erty, and several years must elapae before
the company will derive any considerable
benefit from its proprietorship and occu-

The Waterworks.

Within the last few days Administrator
Fitzenreiter has had the water pipes flushed,
all the fire wells cleaned out, the valves
regulated oiled, etc, 81 that where the fire.
men have been unable to obtain more than
eighteen feet head of water heretofore, at
fire, thirty-four feet head is now readily ob-
tanned. As result of this attention TO the
business of his department by Mr.. Fifteen
reiter, it is stated that the fire well on Poy-
dras. near Carondelet street, was in snch
perfect order at the time of the fire Monday
evening, that In twenty-five minutes after
the six steam engines reached the fire the
f2mes were extinguished and the engines
we're on their way home.

Lydia Thompson.

The reception of Lydia Thompson on
Monday night should have satisfied the
most rapacious of managers. Our people
are hungry for harmony and fun, and SO
crowded the Academy that a sardine box
is SIS vacuum in comparison. Lydia
Thompson has the merit of having created
a new amusement. 1t is the conversion of
respectable old legends in to the most ridi-
culous travesty possible. If when we felt
disposed to grow angry that to the nursery
awe OF Bluebeard and the anxiety that
Sister innc should see some relief from the
top of the traditional tower, we broke into
irrepressible laughter when Beckett snapped
bis empty pistol upon the least insult, or
orders Shacka6ac to marry Sister Anne off
his hands on the spot. Intermixed with
these Jokes are some charming vocal solos
and concerted pieces, and the performance
is made more acceptable by the display OF
beautiful forms, which always render any
absurdity attractive. The audience was
taken by surprise at the violin solo by the
leader of the orchestra, Mr.. w. H. Withers.
Ali the effects of that " king of instru-
ments"-chorus, harmonies and melody,
with the most brilliant coups d'arehet and
pissicato-were produced in style which
marked the accomplished artist.
This troupe still numbers some of its
chief attractions, and has added others, so
bhat the shadow Of its fame will by no
means dim: nish. Ia the absence of the
legitimate opera, this pleasant interlude
will afford an hour of pleasant amusement,
and we commend it to our citizens as unex.
ceptionable in the propriety of its presnta-
ton.
