Pass Him Around.

Last Friday evening came to the door of a
private family on Prytania street a man aged
about fifty years, slender, gray moustache
high forehead, inclined to be bald, dressed i'll
brown or black suit, which had seen some
service, giving the name of Boyd, and said
that Capt. Riley, Of Mobile, had sent hi n to
the lady of the house for board. Being told
that she kept the house, he appeared con-
fused, remarking that he was going to open
shoe store near there and wanteda convenient,
good room. This being furnished, he was
soon at home, and when seated at the table
gave evidence that he was hungry. Absence
Of baggage aroused the lady's suspicion and
when questioned on the subject, said his
trunk would be over Monday. He remained
till Monday morning after breakfast, and
started for his 8. trunk" AS he promised to
return with it, and has not yet turned up, it
is supposed he is looking for another boarding
house, place to open shoe store, or his
trunk. Ladies don't swallow this shoe story,
and keep your eyes open for him.
The PHOENIX HoUsE.-No establishment in
New Orleans can boast of such a combination
as the Phoenix House. Under its root are
first-class theatre, a Bowling Alley, Bar
room, o soda and mead saloon, restaurant
and an oyster stand. With Mr. David Bidwell
as proprietor and JOS Johnston as Superin-
tendent, this mammoth establishment cannot
but succeed To-day the restaurant will be
opened and we take the word of our English
friend that his steaks and chops will be IN
surpassed. Johnston is q judge OF steaks,
chops and beer, and we are willing o abide by
his decision But some others may question
his taste; if they do, let them go to the Phoenix
and sample for themselves the good things
there offered.

tender of MI. Fran, Bercks to give the whole
proceeds of his usiness for one day to the

well-known saloon Of Nj. Bercks, No. lto
Common street, will be visited by our thirsty

host strives to accommodate friends. Nhlle
on this subject, we have to return the thanks
of the community to Messrs. Redwitz and

ACADEMY OF MUsIc.-The Haverlys last
evening. as usual, gave one of their select en-
tcrtainments at the Academy consisting of
many novelties in the way Of minstrel bust
ness not before presented in this city. The
programme was excellent, and every member
Of the troupe did ample credit to themselves
and management. This troupe will have
matinee to-day at noon, and tomorrow night
will give their farewell performance, which
will be one both rich, rare and racy. To COM
mend them to the people OF New Orleans
would be useless, as they know too well the
merit OF these talented artists. 9@
