The Confederate Monument.

Tomorrow evening at five o'clock the
ceremony Of unveiling the monument lately
erected in Greenwood Cemetery, to COM
memorate the Confederate dead, will take
place. Mr.. Ogden will deliver the address,
and the Right Reverend Bishop Wilmer
will pronounce the 6enediction. To accom-
modate the vast number of people that will

mony, an extra number of cars will be put
upon the lines running to the Ridge GENE
teries.
1t is not many days since we were called
upon to mourn the death of a statesman
among whose latest acts was the suggestion
of law, obliterating from the standards of
the battalions of the republic the names OF
the battle fields that marked our sectional
strife. Per contra, now we acknowledge
the valor, the truth and the self sacrifice of
the fallen foe. The Union can not cease to
honor her noble sons, despite the fact that
their views of right were false and per
yerted

THE RESUMPTION OF THE DOMESTIC Sew
World of the twenty fourth ultimo says
that the Domestic Sewing Machine Com
pany, which, in common with SO many
other business establishments, was forced
into temporary suspension during the
course Of the panic, has recently been
enabled to resume in full. Its assets have
at all times been more than sufficient to
meet all it's liabilities, and it's original capi.
tai stock has never been in any way i'm
paired, but the general tightness and stag
nation of three months ago forced it into
difficulty which was magnifed at the time
into something more serious than it really
was. All that it has ever asked its creditors
was trifiing extension of time, proposing
to pay all obligations in full, principal and
interest. This was promptly and cheerfully
granted, and the result has shown that the
confidence in the management of the COM
pany was not misplaced, for their business
now goes on as heretofore. A statement of
their affairs show that over and above all
their liabilities they have their entire capi-
tai stock of $l,OOO,OOO unimpaired. Here.
tofore they have manufactured all their
machines in Providence, Rhode Island,
bat hereafter their principal manu-
fact,ry will be in Newark, New Jersey
Their paper fashion department is in
the new building of the company, at
the corner of Fourteenth street and Broad
way. Mr.. M. S. Hedrick, No. l03 Canal
street, is the agent for the Domestic sewing
machine in New Orleans.

ADJUSTMENTS. A
The OPERA.

We see from all sources that our lyric
troupe has had most successful engage
ment at Galveston. Mile. Moisset has
reaped harvest of laurels from the hands
OF the Texans. Those Texans! YES, thew
are hardy and brave and true, vet are thew
quick to note the performance Of what is
announced. The people of Texas are almost
nation of themselves, but as has been
graphically expressed by an excited Teu-
ton, Mine Gott, what peeples." The
success of the opera troupe in Galveston is
source to US of unfeigned pride. The best
opera troupe in existence, numbering in it's
ranks the finest lyric talent that the Old
entitled to the highest commendation That
the Galvestonians appreciate the perform
ances of Mr.. Canonge's company is only
proof Of their good taste. They have
waived no criticism, and in fact
would have to strain point TO
find a flaw in the perfection of
the entertainments offered them. The
lyric and comedy troupe are now re-
turned: Tonight will be given the
ling comic opera LA File de Mme Angot."
Tomorrow evening Mile. Denain has
benefit. rare bill is offered On the occa-
sion. The beneficiary appears in the fourth
act of 'L' 'Africaine" and the fourth act of
lie Prophetic" also the second act OF
Charles W." Prior to the operate per-
fOrmance there will be enacted the brilliant
little comedy, "Un Monsieur ct Une Dame"
We would call special attention to the
benefit of NJ. Gueymard, which occurs on
the ninth OF this month. This artist NAV
be styled the leading spirit of our lyric
troupe. His excellence is undeniable. There
is scarcely room for US on this side of the
Atlantic to write his merits. His certificates
OF ability come to us from Partisan trlumphs
and continental successes.
Of course, we can only accept these for
what they are worth, as showing the excel
lence of the artist as acknowledged by
other audiences. New Orleans, however is
wont to form it's own opinion. and in the
case OF M. Gueymard that opinion has found
vent in accents of unmitigated praise. VI.
Gueymard is cultured singer and splendid
actor. Although he never startles, he
always pleases. While never losing sight |
OF the artistic, his presentations are always |
real. Though not the most forcible, be is
yet the most cultured tenor that has ap-
peared before a New Orleans audience for |
years. NJ. Van Hufflen, the great bass |
singer and whilom favorite three years ago |
at the opera, has kindly consented to assist |
his brother artist, NJ. Gueymard, next |
Thursday, at his benefit. We are not at |!
liberty now to give the names of the other !
artists who will appear on the occasion, but |
lhe simple announcement of NJ. Van H uf- |
lens appearance upon the lyric stage as |
he support in one of Meyerbeer's operas to
VI. Gueymard should be sufficient to attract |
IN unusual audience.

Aick0k,s Gardens.

The near approach OF summer, with its
warm, bright evenings, too sultry for indoor
amusements, brings to mind the delightful
entertainments given by various associa-
Citations, clubs and churches in summers
past at Dan Hickok's garden, in what we
must still call CarrOllton, and it reminds us
that the jovial old host of the gardens has
recently put his floral Eden in the best pos
sible condition for evening par ties or fairs.
The walks are neat and cleanly kept and
are truly ways of pleasantness and paths of
peace, along the edges of which are rooted
green -leafed shrubbery, and stands rich
and fragrant flowers of many kinds and
hues. And there is the dancing platform,
veritable ball room, long and wide enough
for the largest soiree, and bounded above
only by the blue sky. Those who have
danced there under the grand old trees,
famed by the flower laden breeAes Of eve
ming, or INDUCED in promenade after the
dance, know indeed what true enjoyment
is. With the present arrangement of quick
steam cars above Napoleon avenue, the re-
treat of our old friend Hickok is easily
reached by city folk, and we have no
doubt the gardens will be the scene of
many pleasant parties during the coming
summer,

The State Library.

Under the direct patronage and control
OF Hon. P. G. Deslonde, Secretary of State
! great improvement has been wrought in
the management Of the State library, To-
Gated in the upper part of the building in
which the law department of the State
University is situated. A large assortment
OF most useful books, engravings, etc., can
be found there, arranged in convenient form
for public use. The rooms, if not large, are
made pleasant by the neat and systematic
order that pervades the management of
them by Mrs. NJ. E. Ricard, the courteous
State librarian, and Mrs. Mary Barlow, her
able and accomplished assistant We would
remind citizens and strangers that
the State library is a most agreeable
place TO while away time that might
otherwise be idly spent. This is an excel
lent place for our young men to spend their
leisure hours, for here they can improve
their minds without expense, and at the
same time perhaps save time that might be
otherwise wasted in billiard saloons, bar
rooms or places of>tso called) amusements
that do not tend to mend them morally,
physically or mentally.
The appointment of Mrs. Mary Barlow, a
lady OF worth and intelligence, as assistan.
State Librarian, not only reflects credit upon
the fine discriminating powers of Mr. Des-
londe, our unpretentious Secretary OF State,
but does honor to his head and heart. Mrs.
Barlow is the widow of Judge Barlow, a ma
tive OF Louisiana, who, in 1863 lost his life in
Alexandria in defending Republican prin-
ciples. Always devoted to the cause of thes|
Union he finally became a Republican, and |
for exercising the right of a freeman the |
ku-Klux Democracy of Alexandria doomed |
him to death, little caring what became Of
the widow and orphan left to mourn his
loss. Since the death of her husband Mrs.
Barlow has maintained herself and daugh-
ter, an interesting little girl about eleven
years old, principally by teaching school.
She visited Washington last winter a wear
ago, and through her acquaintance with
General Sherman and other distinguished
men living there, was introduced into the
'est circles OF society, where her intelli-
,ence and sprightly and accomplished man.
lers won for her the esteem and attention
# all who came in contact with her.

The attention Of the travelling comsnu-
nifty is called to the facts relative to the
great and desirable advantages presented
by the New Orleans, jackson and Great
Northern railway to their patrons who de-
sire to make quick and safe trips to st.
Louis, Chicago, Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and all
other points of interest North, East and
West. By this route there is but one change
to New York, and less changes than any
other route to all points of interest where
the immediate connections of the jackson
railroad route centre.

This morning at eleven o'clock an elegant
silver communion service will be Presented
by Mr.. L. A. Bell, on behalf of Colonel j.
NJ. G. Parker, the surveyor of the port, to
the First African Baptist Church, located
on Cypress street. The service is chaste in
design and appropriately engraved with
scenery from the Holy Land. The ceremo.
MES on the occasion will no doubt prove
interesting, as there will doubtless be a
presentat ion speech, to be followed by some
remarks from the pastor of the church.

CONGRESS.

Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Senate was
not in session to-day.
House.
Mr.. Negley, from the Committee on Com.
merce, reported bill to amend the act for
enrolling and registering ships employed in
the coasting trade and fisheries so as to
provide that the provisions of the act shall
not extend to canal boats or boats en-
plOyed on inland waters or canals, etc.
Mr.. Butler, of Massachusetts, from the
Committee on the Judiciary, reported bill
| to prevent maladministratiOn in the civil
service Of the United States. 1t provides
that whoever, being civil officer of the
United States, except the President and
Vice President of the United States. who
shall be impeached by the House of Rep
resentatives, shall be deprived of his office
while his trial is in progress.
The duties, functions and powers of his
office shall devolve on some other officer
Mr.. ct. HOar inquired whether this would
include judges OF the United States Supreme
Court.
Mr. Butler replied that it would; that the
bill was offered in view fthe charges against
certain United States judges who will
probably be impeached. Ii they should be,
under the law as it now stands, they may
60 on and carry on all the functions Of their
offices. He had. he said, one Judge now in
his mind, of whom it was alleged that he
had said he would resign after serving his
friends
There was also the case of Kansas Judge
against whom articles of impeachment were
presented last session. There was an ad-
journment, however, before the Senate
could proceed to trial. This Judge held his
office all last summer, and he resigned lust
as Congress again met for the purpose of
defeating any new impeachment This was
great scandal; he believed the impe ach-
ment of an officer should result in his i'm
mediate removal from office.
Mr.. G. F. Hoar suggested that this was
an important bill and that day should be
fixed for its consideration.
Mr.. Morey of Louisiana, objected to the
bill
Mr.. Butler said: "You won't save Judgs
Durell"
Mr.. Morey: "If you want to impeach him,
do 80 directly, and not indirectly"
The bill was then withdrawn.
The House ordered a warrant to be issued
for the arrest of George H. Patrick, of |

moned to testify as witness in the Brsteed |

the summons.

CONCENTRATION.
BY ELIZABETH sHEARE PHELPS,

You told the story of your love;
heard as one who did not hear;
Across the opening lips OF hope
Crept the slow finger OF fear.
Against the kind deceit which hides
From loves beginning all loves end,
in thoughtful mood l boldly lift
The honest trouble of friend.
You we chosen thus; not thus, indeed,
would have chosen fate for you,
And if you missed the possible,
And for the sweet had lost the true;
If, meath the perfect palm of love
You might have kneit-iu knee ling b!est-
And if you chose instead to wear
little rose upon your breast;
II, for the tidal wave of life
MlstOOk little ripple blue,
While fathOms deep selow your line
The seas iost treasures sleep for you:
Why then-what then1 You've onl Y missed
wealth your cain eyes never sa W.
Be fate and nature kind to you,
Yourself unto yourself your law!
No Moses ever part for you
The wonders Of the deep's rich gloom,
Nor ever lead, the dry san0s Ger
into the long lost p psm- lands bloom
An; never, never may you know!
For little waves trip merriy
ana never never may you knOwl
For sweet the little roses be.
And should my doubts and dreams be bot b
Blindfold as dreams and doubts may be;
Sheuid loves unwisdom truer prove
To you than my wise fears to me;
Since Gods own purpose over ours
Is folded softly like wing
And loves best knowledge to loves Sc #
Must own; l know not anything!
Why then ah then Go you His ways,
Not mine HIS is the summer sea
On which the little waves shall trip,
And His the little roses be.
But if into one lot there came
(As into one naply knew
The flowers scent, the forests force
The depths reserve. the ripple's hue
If it fell out to Heavens mind
To give one both the sweet and true
Though Heaven asked it back again
That lost lot I'd not change with you.
