Dear S;r-Will you be kind enough to give
place in your valuable paper to these few ex-
pressions of opinion on subject that has long
interested me.
To many of our citizens it has for several
years past been . source of pride that in our
city are to be found so many young ladies and
gentlemen who are talented far above the
average in elocution and music.
I have often heard at concerts given for
charitable purposes, in this city, gems Of
lyric art from some Of our young ladies, which
caused me manga time to express surprise
and qualification, so excellent was the pro
duction.
have also had the pleasure Of being pres
emit at private theatricah, given at the resi-
dences Of some of our citizens, where scenes
from plays of merit have been enacted with
such success as to warrant the belief that
there are few, if any other cities in the Uni
ted States where can be found so many snd
40 able elocutionists and amateur actresses as
we have here.
Elocution is highly priced BY most Of oul
citizens, and no character OF entertainment il
80 popular as that Of private theatricals, ex
cept it be the concerts, which deserve an
equal place in cur esteem.
Rarely is there an expression OF dissent
given to these performances when given 81
private residences, and frequently large mum
bers of friends are invited. I have known in
stances where introductions have been sought
to young ladies and gentlemen with the SOLE
purpose Of having them take part in some
dramatic performance
Despite all this. if it is ever suggested to
those selfsame admirers Of the talent and
ability of the young ladies, that they should
take part in some OF the representations given
at the theaters by our amateur clubs during
the summer, . perfect storm Of dissent, and
sometimes even indignation, is raised i'm
mediately.
Now many Of our best young ladies hav'
time after time appeared in public in con
certs and tableaux, and have been loudly and
Justly applauded, and no word of disapprova
| has ever been raised against it. Our amateur
clubs are composed Of some of the bes
young men of the city, and the plays gen
orally chosen are such as will admit Of young
ladies taking part in them.
The audience are noticeable for their ele
gance and refinement, and are generally tn
intimate friends of those who participate il
the plays. The brothers or fathers of tn
ladies would serve as proper escorts to and
from rehearsals and performances, and N
cause be given for unkind criticism.
merely offer these remarks for considera
ton Of some Of the young ladies and gentle
men of our city, and invite their opinions Of
the subject. index.

CITY COUNCIL.


at noon Yesterday, Hon. O. J.. Leeds, Mayor,
in the chair, and III the Administrators
present :,
The following communication was received
from the Mayor. and was referred to the Com
mittee Of the Whole:
To the City Council Of New Orleans
I Herewith submit joint report the Ad.
anfnistrator of Accounts and Administrator OF
Finance, by which it appears that IN conse-
uuence al material falling of Of the city's
revenues and the inability Of the community
to meet the excessive State and city taxation,
the city treasury win be unable to meet pres
emit rate of expenditures.
As deem it inexpedient, if not impossible,
to administer the city government by MAKING
appropriations without the means Of paying
them, it in my opinion, becomes imperative
on the Council to take immediate steps to
bring down .the expenditures to the receipts
I therefore advise the Administrators to at
once revise the budget of expenditures and
determine where the necessary reduction can
be made with the least detruiment to the
public interest
This reduction will render necessary the
ourtailment Of many expenses hitherto
deemed Indispensable, but 1t Is better that
the community should suffer - they must, 2
temporary inconvenience rather than that
debts should be incurred which there are no
means to iquidate.
II will only be necessary for you to deter
mine the best means of making the necessary
reduction.
In this connection suggest for your con-
|sideration whether some saving cannot be
made for much of the work now carried on
by the city employees by judicious system
OF contracts. CHAs. J. LEEDS, Mayor.
