AN "ENTHUsBD" DEMOCRAT AT THR WHITE
HoUsE.-The rampant roosters which all tue
democratic papers wear since they heard the
news from Ohio and Indiana are not aggrayat-
ing enough &c sensitive republicans 1t appears;
but the eIultant opposition must DEVISE other
means OF agonizing The loyal heart. This morn
ing 0ilapid2ted looking character, clad in A
costume of the DAYS Of Andrew jackson, ap-
peared upon the portico of the White House.
OD his arm he carried a basket. From this he
drew bottle conts ming nuid, which the mes
sengers say looked like muddy water (but it was
evidently something with mora snap in it) and
proceeded after the manner of a priest st the
baptismal font, to 81 sIriukle the stone fioor Hay-
ing done this to his own satisfaction he repla
the bottle in the basket and brought forth a
printed placard, having upon Ii in large letters
t1e word rcr rent" After placing this on one
OF the columns at the side of the main entrance
door, he shutied away with the satisfied air of a
man who had done his duty and was content.

THB CONCERT by the De Murska concert COM
pany last evening was in every way satisfactory
10 the large audience which filed Lincoln hall.
Unlike many concert troupes, the De Murska
company Is composed of acceptable artists an
through the programme, and hence the success
audience by her unexcelled execution of dir.
cult roulades and the trueness OF her voice.
Sigror Braga Is undoubtedly the finest yolon
cello performer who has visited our shores white
Mon and Nine. Sanret would have amply re-
paid the audience by their performances alone
Nine. Carenno Suuret has lost none OF her
brilliant execution; and that, with her great
beauty and graceful bearing, makes her IA
vorite everywhere. Ferranti has long beep a
fsvorite here, and his performance last evening
will not diminish our admiration. A concert of
twelve programme pieces would seem TO be
enough for an ordinary music-loving audience:
but q demand last night for ten additional se
lections must have been as trying to the per-
formers as IL was wearying to some or the list
eners; proTacting the performance as IL did to
late hour.
