The Orleans Dramatic Association.

The next complimentary entertainment
to be given by this association will take
place at the Varieties Theatre on Friday
evening next the seventh instant. when
will be performed zone Touch of Nature"
a drama in one act, "Woodcock's Little
Came" farce in two acts, and the two act
comedy called 'Kind to a Fault" This
bill certainly contemplates variety enough.
Its only fault will be found in the length OF
the entertainment. The two last named
pieces are sufficiently long fer an evening
with amateurs, in hot weather, and it would
be wisdom to omit the first piece altogether.
On Tuesday evening, the eighteenth
instant, will occur tbs benefit of Miss
Louise Hawthorne, the talented actress en-
gagged as leading lady for the association.
For this benefit genuine novelty will be
produced in the shape of new play which
has been the sensation of New York, and
which is now enjoying successful run in
London under the title of Lied Astray," a
play adapted by Mr.. Boucicault from the
French drama called LA TentatiOn."
In this connection it should be mentioned
that the occasion of Miss HawthOrnes
benefit will be her last appearance in New
Orleans, she having been engaged by Man
ager Hooley as leading lady at Hooley's
Theatre, in Chicago, the coming season.

A MOOted War Question.

An interesting essay by Captain Mares.
in the Berlin annual for the Army and
Nary, examines the assertion so often made
since the late war that the effect OF the
improved weapons in action has been gain
to the side of the attack instead of the con-
trary, as had been anticipated. This view
is maintained with remarkable force, for in
stance, in the reasoning on the subject pur-
sued in Major Homes Precis Of Modern
Tactics. But Captain Marees points out,
from the statistics he has gathered, that re-
Gently, as in former days. the attack almost
always costs a much larger proportion IN
killed and wounded than the defense:
There may be exceptiOns-the battle OF
Whorth was peculiarly such one-where
the defenders, suddenly abandoning posi-
ton, suffer very special loss in their hasty
retreat from it; but the rule held good IN
the late war just as in older days. Al
Borny the loss OF the Germans engaged was
very nearly ten per cent against but SIX per
cent on the side of the French; at Marsha
tour twenty-five to twelve and half; at
Gravelotte, again, very nearly ten against
eight per cent. This being so where the
offensive is taken successfully, it must needs
be at all periods far more the case where
the attack is repulsed. This may be espe-
cially evidenced from the two most unfor-
tunate of Frederick's actiOns-koilln and
ENTHUSIASTICALLY edCu VI W Hull uC ntLtAcAcN
UNNECESSARILY, and on being beaten OFT was
not in the least followed up, yet suffered
more than double the proportion on the vic
torious defending side. Ga the whole,
therefore, although artillery has certainly
never before been so powerful for attack as
now, Capt. Marees believes that the sup
posed material gain of the offensive By the
new weapon does not exist. But the rapid
ity and decisiveness of the fire on either
side can never touch the main question,
which was that, as rule, it is necessary to
attack in order to win. And the old French
maxim, attributed to Marshal Nillars, "On
ne pert que par la detcnsire,' is truer than
ever, as the higher individual training Of
soldiers in the best modern armies brings
out more and more prominently the value
of the moral element of tactics. to which
moral element the Inaction OF defense Is
peculiarly unfavOrabe.

Ramance In the Treasury.

A correspondent says: am acquainted.

the back door of the suicide. Patient and
lovable, she works as steadily as If some
mighty reward was near at hand. sup
pose it is hope on, hope ever. with her,
though nobody can see anything she has to
expect more than a life of routine and an
humble grave. In Paris she would have
flown first to the streets, and then to the
charcoal brazier. In London it would
have been the Argyll Rooms, gin, and the
waters of Blackfriar's Bridge. As you pass

The Girl to Find.

The true girl has to be sought after. Size
does not parade herself in show goods. She
is not fashionable. Generally she L, not
rich. But, oh what heart she has when
you find her so large, and pure, and wo.
manly. When you see it you wonder it
those snowy things outside are women. If
Won gain her love, your two thousands are
millions She'll not ask you for carriage
or a first class house. She'll wear simply
dresses and turn them when necessary,
with no vulgar magniticate to frOwn upon
her economy. She'll keep everything neat
and nice in your sky parlor, and give you
such welcome when you come home that
you'll think your power higher than ever.
She'll entertain true friends on dollar,
and astonish you with the new thought of
how little happiness depends on money.
She'll make you love home (if you don's
you're brute), and teach you how to pity
while you scorn a poor, fashionable society
that thinks itself rich. and vainly tries to
think itself happy. Now, do not, pray
you, say any more, II can't afford to ma rry.
Go, ind the true woman. And you can
Throw away that cigar, burn up that witch
cane, be sensible yourself. and seek your
wife in a sensible way.
