THE JoUBEKT AND DAQUIN CONCERT
Seldom during the most successful part of
the regular opera season has the Opera
House been so well attended and filled by
so fashionable an audience as it was last
evening, on the occasion of the concert
given by Messrs. Joubert aud DAquin, as
sisted by the highest professional talent.
When it is knnwn that the orchestra of the
Opera, under the able leadership of Mr.. Mo-
lnas, lent its kind = assistance, i. will be
readily understood that the pleasure of the
evenings entertainment was greatly en-
HANGED by this agreeable feature.
OF Messrs. UAqun and Joubert we have
only to say that New Orleans has just cause
to be proud of them as her proteges. Last
evening they each showed remarkable pro-
ticiency in their respective parts.
Mr. and Nine. Devoyod are too well known
to the public as artists of a superior order to
require especial mention.
AS for Nine. Mercier-B Bier. we think that
this young and promising artist fully real
lied the highest expectations of critical
audience. She delighted all present by her
charming vocalizatlons and gave further
evidence of high musical capacities. For
some unknown reason. Mile. Lagye did not
appear, as promised in the programme. All
in all, as musi :al entertainment, this con-
cert certainly ranks among the best of the
season.

4 Business Nuns View Of Or Con litiOn

One of our prominent business men, in
his circular of the 81 inst, which we find
in the St. Louis Republican of the eth, thus
describes our condition:
Unfortunately for the city and State a few
of her leading bank presidents business men
joined, first WarmOth and his horde of legis-
lative plunderers, and as soon as that astute
politician was set on the shelf by the voice
of an outraged people, another political
quack in the person Of w. P. Kellogg,
whose round about way of telling the truth
is laughable, who was through the aid of
bayonets put into power, and he too like
his predecessor has his camp followers, in
GLIDING some noted bank presidents and
moneyed men whose influence and weight is
not only felt throughout the entire county as
giving a semblance of decency to the Kel-
logg usurpation, but the names of these
men have worked wonders in State

Canal Company" and other gigantic
swindles, giving tone to these objects of

State il in the hands of the sherif1s for sale,

ney General A. P. Field in the Superior Dis
trict Court enjoined Clinton, as Auditor,
from auditing or warranting the claims
authorized by Act SO of the last Legislature
Attorney General Field brought Clinton
repeatedly into court ON rules for contempt.
Clinton claims that in this Mr.. Field was

Doubtless rich developments will grow
ont of this case.

A KNIFE AND PISTOL BATTLE.-The 1tal-
ians OF Baltimore have il concenlal sensation
which gives them plcasurable excitement.
IL is something OF a national character to
talk about and pride themselves upon as
happening in Baltimore. There are two
Italian vessels in that ports, manned by
Italian sailors. The other day sailor from
one of EN- visited II sailor on the other,
and had some conversation in English. The
mate of the vessel reminded them of their
nativity by rtmarkug in a reproving way
ave speak Italian here" TIE visitor shut
up his right hand, all except he little finger
which he pointed at the mate. This crook
ing of the little finger contained some gross
Italian insult, Which sent the mate down
stairs after his pistol. The other man drew
long knife, saw that it was in order, and
left the ship. The mate followed him
ashore and desperate fight commenced on
the wharf in the twilight.
The mate shot several times, but the other
continued fighting with his knife, and the
bystanlers could nor tell whether any effec-
tive shots or stabs had passed or not. For
a long time neither conbatant abated vigcr.
The pistol fighter seemed to have more than
one pistol. The knife fiy liter did not appear
to be even Jared by any Of the shots. There
was good deal Of running around among
the barrels and bales, and at length the
pistol fig ter fired his last sho., and threw
his pistol at the other. The men now
clinched, but the knife hand was getting
weak. The maal fell, and expired in few
minutes. The mate was very much cut up,
and the knife and pistol, and all the Idle
Italians in town have been in court. They
got so much excited, or inspired in giving
their evidence in soft Italian, aud telling
about the brisk hattie of the knife and the
pistol, that those articles were placed very
far out of their r. ach. as they wished to
gesticuiate with the veritable tools in their
hands.

THE HIBERNIAN FEsTIvAL.-It is with
pleasure that we announce the approach of
that gala day of the Hibernians, Sunday,
May II, where there will doubtless be an out
pouring of the people to witness the sports
at the Fair Grounds. The programme
offered by the Committee of Arrangements
is enough to satisfy the tastes of every one,
and that in return our people will not fail
to show their appreciation Of the pleasure
rendered is more than certain. From the
incipient lover of the turf to the old sports
man, all have catered to than a sufficient
variety of amusement to not only please
but crafty. Hurdle, buggy and foot races,
dancing matches and football are enough to
attract those who still retain a passion for
these health-giving sports.
We confidently expect to see the Far
Grounds alive with the friends of Branch
No. Z, of the Hibernian Association.

BIG Tow OF WHARF.-The largest ship

BIG Tow OF WHEAT. largest ship
ment known on the Mississippi River, SO far
as the single item of wheat is concerned, is
now submitted to the consideration of the
public. The steamboat Imperial of the
Diamond Joe Line, left Red Wing on
Wednesday morning last with cargo and
tow of lO5, 600 bushels of wheat, for delivery
at Dunleith. This is said to be the largest
load of wheat ever sent down the Mississippi
River. Even at this rate, it will take the
Imperial some time to take the immense
stores of grain which have been gradually
accun.ulating during the inter at Red
Wing and other points, awaiting the open
ing of navigation and the reduced transport
tation rates by water to the Atlantic sea-
board or the Gulf of Mexico.

In the year 1890 the city of Berlin had
81 900 inhabitants; in 1928, 100000; in
1857 the number had increased to 100000
and the last census of 1873 established a
population of very near 100000. Vienna
has also risen from a city of 1000 inhab-
itants in 1854, and 100000 in 1857, to
100000 in the present year. Very few
American cities can boast a larger proper

The STEAMER AMITE.-1n company with
Captains Francis and Muncy, we paid a
visit yesterday to this steamer now lying in
the New Basin and recently lying at the
bottom of the lake, near the bridge of the
N. O., NJ. & T. R r., at the Rigolets.
The Amite was run into and sunk by the
steamer Reliance, on the 18th of April last,
and few days afterwards Capt. NJ. W..
Francis, known as one of the most skillfui
and successful divers and wreckers of our city,
was engaged to raise her and her valuable
cargo. Capt Francis, aided by Capt. Muncy,
went to work a short time after the accident,
and succeeded, despite rough weather and
rising water, in "bulkhealing" the vessel,
and in one one hour and twenty eight
minutes after all the bulkheads were made
secure, the Amite was atloat and ready to
have steam raised so as to reach the city.
In this case, as in many others, Capt
Francis has shown himself an experienced
diver and wrecker, and we congratulate him
upon his success.
The Amite will, in few days, be taken to
Madisonville for repairs, after which she
will enter the trade between this city and
Pensacola.

Fair has fully established the Association,
and it can now be regarded as one of the
prominent institutions of that city.

MUSICAL INsTRUMENTs-That the
best is always the cheapest is oftener
true in respect to Pianos and Organs
than in regard to most articles. This
is because the machinery is 80 delicate
and intricate that unless made in the
most thorough manner, OF choicest ma
terial, they will get out OF order. If they
get ouly slightly GU: OF order it is the
occasion OF very much trouble and in
convenience, at least, If not serious loss
1t Piano and Organ purchasers would
bear this fact In mind and
make their selections from such
Instruments as Steinway, Chickering,
Knabe and Emerson Pianos and Ma
con and Hsmlin. Smiths American,
Estay and Wood Orgsns, they would
find it greatly to their advantage. The
above Pianos and Organs can only be
found at Messrs Adams & Lucas's, No
1927 Market street, the cole agents for
them, and at such prices and terms az
will suit all.

TEMPERANCE MEETING.

Last night Washington Hall was
filled to overlooking to hear Mother
Stewart, Of Springfield, Ohio, the great
Temperance Retormer, who was an
nounced to address the meeting.
The meeting was opened by singing
end prayer, after which the Rev. Mr..
Bsrnitz introduced Mother Stewart"
as che is known altogether by that title,
She is lady OF over fifty years, we
should think, Of medium hight, iron
grey hair, wears spectacles, has q keen
eye, talks distinctly, and, well, some
times, when carried away by her earns
estpess, speaks eloquently and relate:
incidents OF the campaign wildly. Her
remarks abound with original views on
the liquor question, and during the hour
and ten minutes in which she spoke
the audience seemed deeply interested.
No doubt she could have have spoken
oil night, for, as she rem arked, she
never gets tired aud never knows when
to stop. The lady undoubtedly
has had a great deal OF experience in
the business, and has no end OF snec-
dotes to relate OF the many trials and
fluctuations which the leaders Of the
temperance bands throughout the
country with which she has been con-
nacted have endured.
The gist of her ideas ss to how the
abatement OF the liquor traffic could
be brought about, was to arouse pub
lie opinion to the necessary point when
the citizens would demand the enforce.
ment OF the laws, and place men in po!it.
ical power who would enact laws which
would have the desired effect. To
bring about this condition OF public
opinion, the shortest and most teasl'
bic manner was street praying by the
ladies. They should enter into 1t heart
and soul, not only now but always, aud
if the work was not completed at their
death, transmit it to their children.
She said che would be in the city but a
short time, but before she departed she
expected to have the ladies on the
street praying in full force. This an
nouncement was greeted with great APP
plause, but as she humorously remark
ed she was uncertain whether the ap-
plause was intended as an approval oil
the first or last part OF the sentence.
AT the close OF her remarks q
duet was sung by Miss Roemer aud
Prof. Roe, the doxology sung, blessing
invoked BY Rev. Bsrnitz, and the meet'
ing adjourned.
A union prayer meeting will be held
at 10 o o'clock A. NJ. today, at the Fourth
street NJ. E church, to which the gen.
t!emen are particularly invited by
Mother" Stewart, who Gays she is
particularly partial to the male gen.
der. All who 90 will be interested.
