Fifth and Last GIFT Concert
IN AID OF THE
Public Library OF Kentucky.
A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

The management have determined 10
have the drawing OF the Filth and Last
Gift Concert oil The Public Library OF
Kentucky on the 30ih day Of November
next. We believe now that all the
tickets will be sold, and that the drawing
will be a iull one; but whether all are
sold or NOT, the drawing will nevertheless
certainly come off on the day appointed.
The special object Of this card Is to call
a meeting Of the ticket.holders at Public
Library Hall, on the 10Th oil November,
to make arrangements in connection with
tho committee appointed by the Trustees
to superintend the counting Of the tags
representing the numbers Of tickets sold.
While there Is no actual necessity for the
presence Of tickethOlders, as under our
arrangements the interests Of all arc
equally cared Tor, yet at the same
time l would greatly prefer that
as many OF those interested as CAD,
would attend this meeting and SEQ each
for himself how perfectly fair and Impair
tial the distribution must be.
Every arrangement has been made for
the drawing-but little more than month
remains for the sale Of the remainder Of
the tickets, and whatever is done must be
done promptly.

appropriation for that purpose to be alb
sorbed and taken up by other claims before
the law making the appropriation had been
promulgated-manyo of which claims, l have
good reason to believe, were fraudulent.
But let us cease wrangling over these
things. The fends Of the rebel press are
laughing at US. The "rebel skunks" are
curling their tails in delight and send
ing forth their native odors upon every
passing breeze. Let us act justly and fairly

if you please, to ourselves. / can stand it

State half it owes nee, willing and more
than willing to take fifty cents on every
dollar. Will you do the samel Will you
take $500 for your $4,000 annual salary
and will you take fifty cents on the dollar
for your meagre contingent allowance of
$1,000.
And, sir, if you think you can continue to
hold Office and prosper as Republican in
this State without the aid of Republican
press and the friendship of Republicans,
then continue to assail and mistreat Repub-
licans, and continue also your efforts to de-
stroy the Republican press Of Louisiana, all
to the laughter and delight of the vicious
and corrup. opposition press in our midst.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Merchant of Venice" was repeated
at this theatre last night. and it was per
formed in a much more satisfactory manner
than on the previous evening. Tonight
Mr.. Couldock will appear as Luke Fielding,
in the 'WillOw COpse," instead as Riche!ieu
Considering the great reputation he has
made for himself as Luke and the way in
which this powerful domestic drama is per
formed al the st. Charles, the change OF
bill was wise one. Tomorrow evening
will be set apart for Mr.. Couldock's benefit
He has not yet announced the pieces to be
played on that occasion, but If he yields to
the wishes of large number of his old time
friends, he will select Louis XII" and
Chimney Corner"
McEvoy's Hibernicon.
At the Varieties Theatre to-day, for the
benefit of the ladies and the little ones, Mr.
McEvoy will give matinee entertainment,
and this evening the usual exhibition will
De given. 1t should be remembered that
admissions to this exhibition are at half the
rates of usual theatre prices, and that the
pictorial, musical and dramatic features of
the entertainment are highly pleasing and
instructive, and worthy Of patronage.
Opera House.
In hurriedly copying our memorandum
OF the announced programme Of to-day s
the performance for yesterday, Wednesday
We beg the indulgence of the public and
the management for our unintentiOnal mis-
take.
To-day at the matinee, Mermet's grand
opera "RoIand Roncevaux,' will be pro-
duced. The cast includes Messrs. Guey-
mard, Magyar, Lourde and Feitlinger, and
Mines. Fursch- Nader and Carini.
The opera of Roland Roncevaux" is
ty,a4 vi ~ MI Id
Tie story is founded upon one OF the most
romantic legends connected with the days
of chivalry. Roland and his tragic fate
have been made the subject of song and
story in all lands where true bravery is
respected and admired.
NJ. Gueymard is remarkably effective in
the character of Roland, which character he
created on the first production Of the piece
at the Grand Opera at Paris.
This evening the performance for the
benefit of NJ. Devoyod takes place. pro-
pouDced. First will be performed Verdi s
grand opera "Rigoletto." in which the bene-
fclary appears as Rigoletto. supported by
Messrs. Gadilhe, Magyar, Fetlinger and
Dupin, and Mines. Devoyod-Acs, Denain
and Jaime.
Afterward NJ. Devoyod. Nine. Devoyod-
Acs and Mime. Denain will sing the cele-
brated trio from the third act of the grand
opera of Hamlet
Subsequently,, to conclude, NJ. Devoyod
will sing LES Rameaux.'
A programme SO replete with attractions,
and which includes in the cast so numerous
an array of first class artists, has seldom
been performed on any stage. Apart from
the circumstance that SO great an artist as
NJ. Devoyod takes benefit and appears in
three distinct roles, the fact that his accom-
plished wife, Nine. Devoyod-Acs, will also
appear, forms an additional attraction.

The Rights of the West.

| The more closely we associate with the
| peOple-the nearer we get down to the
| actual wants of the majority of the dealers
and business men-the mere thoroughly we
are convinced of the lack at present of a
| sutticiency Of currency with which to do
the business of the country, and par
| ticularly Of the West. True, there is
money enough in the banks. and the cry
| is constantly raised by the Eastern cormo-
rants, who want to monopolize all the money
| and all the business of the country, that
| this is sufficient evidence of the plentitude
of currency. But nothing can be further
| from the truth. While the banks have
money, they have it because of the close
ness with which they keep their clutches
| upon it. and because of the niggardliness
with which they dole it out to gilt-edged
applicants in little driblets of no appre-
| ciable amount
If the Eastern money-changecs are desir-
ous OF having no more currency issued, let
them release their hold upon the excessive
issue which Congress has already decided
shall be withdrawn from the East and ap-
portioned to the West, but which the New
England ring has thus far prevented the
Comptroller from accomplishing. What
we demand at the hands of Congress is the
equalization of the currency in one way or
another-either by the surrender Of the
excess possessed by the East over her
just proportion, or the issue of a sufficient
amount of additional currency to the West
to compensate her for the unjust discrimi-
nation from which she at present suffers.
The East may we'll shout, stability ~
stability So may one neighbor who has
stolen the goods of his neighbor, and de-
sires that peculiar status to be maintained
Those cuckolds from the West in Congress
who do not stand up for their rights in this
particular have reckoning in reserve
which they will do well to prepare for.
True, we have expressed a desire that the
volume of the currency should be left as at
present, except as to the Equalization and
permanent employment of the $44, 100000
reserve; but this was upon the assumption
that measures would be employed bv the
present Congress 20 enforce the law Of the
last session 30 withdraw from the East the
excess of currency in its possession over a
just and equitable balance. and yield it over
to the West. But the game of the New
Englanders appears now to be not only to
hold what they have illicitly got but to de-
prive the West of any further increase from
any source whatever.
We trust Mr.. Logan will keep ND his gal
liant fight until some measure of justice ia
obtained from the greedy money sharks of
New England. Tho West already suffers
sufficiently from the burden which discrim.
mating tariff monopolies have placed upon
her. without being compelled to carry this
additional load. In one particular. at
least. let equality be secured.-Chicdg0

A curious tradition is said to exist among
the Abyssinians concerning the origin OF
burial. They say that when Adam found
the body of the murdered Abel he carried
1t about upon his shoulders for twenty days,
not knowing how to dispose of it. The
Almighty took pity on him, and sent forth
crow with its dead young one on its back,
and the crow flew before Adam until it
came to tract of sandy ground, in which
it dug 3 hole with its feet and there buried
it's young one. And when Adam saw this
he dug grave in the sand and buried his
lost hey in it. 'em -
