The congregational Church Concert.

V
The tableau and old folks concert enter
tainment given at the First Congregational
Church, corner of Prytania and Calliope
streets, last night, proved splendid sue
cess. The church was crowded to overflow
ing, and many persons were obliged to
stand up during the performance. Pro
fessor T. R. Watts conducted the musical
part Of the entertainment. As the printed
programme did not give the names Of the
singers, we must refrain from making per-
sonal mention of them. The gentle men
wore knee breeches and wigs, and the
ladies were made up in tho grandmother
style of hundred years ago, and on
their hair was the powdered dust of ages
These DISCUSSES, however, but family con-
cealed many we'll known amateur singers,
whose fine voices were easily recognized in
the church music Of the past; such a. "Cor-
onation," !" ''The Lord is Risen, and ..Sound
the Loud Timbrel;" pieces that were sung
when music of the church was part and
parcel of religion, and before the paid quar-
tette worshiped the Lord on salary. The
tableaux were all excellent in their way,
and reflected great credit on these who
arranged and participated in them.

Grunewald Hall.

No seats were vacant at this charming
and COSY retreat of the muses. last evening.
Miss P. Leblanc had organized q most bril-
liant concert. With modesty, too retiring,
she had limited herself to but two selec-
tions. The audience, however, were not
satisfied with this, but voclferously ap-
plauded, and enthusiastically encored each
brochure of this brilliant young artist.
OF M. H. Joubert we can not speak in
terms of too high praise. His execution is
marked by delicacy of touch, roundness
of outline and breadth of tone, worthy Of
the great Ole Bull himself. The Romance
of Savori' was deservedly enoored. Of the
other participants, we allude in terms OF
commeudation ito NJ. Van Huf1en and
Mr.. G. D'Aquin. Nine Mercier-Bier kindly
assisted and contributed in good measure
to the success Of the entertainment. N.
Cartier, of the Opera, was the accompany
ist on the piano.
Those who attended the entertainment,
and many whose engagements precluded an
attendance, are anxious for q repetition of
this concert. Can it not be 80 arranged
that the public demands. may be gratifed!

EDITOR REPUBLICANS: ..........,.-
can not feel too grateful for the kind
motives which prompted the little item that
appeared in your valuable paper two days
since, coupling with the correct Information
of nv enlistment in the army of BenedicUs
the erroneous statement that had left the
city for q trip ito st. Louis by steamer and
thence across the continent by rail-" You
will understand the unenviable position in
which your mistake has placed me when
you learn that friends and acquaintance
refuse to recognize me, and debtors decline
to square up little bills when called upon,
because, having implicit confidence in your
journal, they insist that l am somewhere
on the bosom of the Father of Waters,
bound for st. Louis, and that the person
who claims their friendly recognition or
pecuniary attention is base impOster and
superlative fraud. I appeal to you to re-
Eeve me from an embarrassing predlcament
by informing your numerous readers that 1
am yet in New Orleans, and by no chance
can any portion OF me be wandering IN
other regions at this time. / shall remain
in your city until next Saturday, when,
upon the steamer James Howard, leave

We landed at small place near Port
Hudson yesterday to put off some provis-
ions. when sight met our gaze that would
appal the hardest heart. Sitting on the
muddy bank, without Q single protection
from the beating rain that fell necessarily,
were two women, surrounded by few
household utensils and two dry goods boxes
containing the bodies of their two children.
both drowned while sleeping in a trundle
bed the night previous. They had been
landed at this place by the Ouachita Belle,
having been taken ON that steamer at an
overflow plantation above Port Hickey.

The KistredRe Benefit.

Considering the duh times and the at
fractions elsewhere, . fine audience assem-
bled at the Academy of Music last night to
do honor to our young friend, Mr.. j. Kit
tredge, the treasurer of the theatre. Every
body knows Kittredge, and everybody likes
him. He is of the corpulent and happy
kind one would choose for a friend, and
withal he is thorough business man,
straightforward and agreeable to deal with.
Manager Bidwel is particularly fortunate
in having such an adjutant on his staff, for
much of the success of the Academy is due
to his excellent management OF the front
part of the house. After the performance
last night Mr. Kittredge paid his compli-
ments to the press with a fine serenade, and
with cheerful face looked in upon us while
Charley Jaeger. with his silver cOrnet and
the Academy band was making most excel
lent music in front of the REPUBLICAN
office.
