ENJOINED.
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE "Two ORPHANS" A
THE ST. CHARLES THEATER ENJoINED.

THE ST. CHARLES THEATER ENJoINED.
For the past week the city papers have pub
lished the announcement that the st. Charles
Theater would open tonight for short extra
seaso }, with the performance Of the last dra-
matte sensation of the "Two Orphans" The
city has been very fairly billed, all preparations
at the theater have been completed, and the
Union Square Combination, under the manage
ment Of Messrs. Cogswell and Wilson, expected
to prodrcs the play this evening. But last even
ing the representative CT Mr.. DeBar was served
with an injunction forbidding the production OF
the play at his theater, and SO it seems the pre-
partitions have all been made in vain.
The injunction issued from the Superior Dis
trict Court on the application OF Messrs. Shook
& Palmer, of New York, the proprietors of the
play; the bond is signed by Mr.. Chas. T. How
ard, lessee of the Varieties Theatre 1t is alleged
that the sole right to produce the play in this
ci y this season ha been granted to the Varie-
ties Theater, and the proposed performance at
the St. Charles Theater, being violation Of this
right. gives cause for the issuance of the inj1nc-
ton. The great reputation won by this play in
New York and other cities, where it has been rep
resented, has created a general desIre in this
city to see it, but from present indications the
realization Of this wish Will have to be post
poned for while.

" PARTED."
MR.. TAYLEUREs NEW DRAMA, AND HOW IT IS
PLAYED ny THE NEW ORLEANS VARIETIES
THEATRE COMPANY.

Great curiosity has been frequently expressed
by our theatergoin public in reference to the
new company which has been engaged by Mr..
Tayleure for the ensuing season at the Varieties
Theater and the following notice of Mr.. Tay-
ieure's new play and the manner Of its repre-
sentation will give the desired information. The
criticism is taken from the Pittsburg Dispatch:
LIBRARY HALO. W. Tayeures new drama,
"Parted," was produced at Library Hall last
evening by Mrs. Chanfrau and the company OF
the New Orleans Varieties Theater. 1t is very
seldom 80 strong o combination OF dramatic
talent expends it's energies on so excellent 4
play. Generally, IL there is o. weak drama to be
b lstered up, leading artists are engaged to do
1t, and il strong dramatic fiction is to be pro-
duced, the clement OF cheapness enters into the
arrangement for its presentation. That is the
general philosophy OF managers.
Last night one OF the most excellent original
plays that America has generated was given here
with company able to execute all Its finest con-
captions. "Parted is funded on true incl
dent of the latest CONFUSION in commercial life,
and in plot and action is essentially American.
1t abounds in exciting but natural incidents, is
ingeniously constructed 80 as to present its best
points in progressive form, and is full OF delicate
touches OF life which impress the audience at
once with their naturalness. Through the whole
play the author has shown experience, culture,
literary ability and that peculiar power Of char
acterizing IDEAS which belongs only to true dra-
matte writers.
Mrs. Chanfrau as Grace Shirley exhibited
all those pleasing powers which has made her
reputation a delineator of true womanly ma
ture. Miss Ada Monk, an old favorite in Pitts
burg, as Mrs. De Woof, met all the require
ments Of her part with graceful intel igence.
Mr.. Mordaunt, Mr.. Polk, Mr.. Burroughs and Mr..
Egoert, were very pleasing in their respective
roles, Mr.. Mordaunt especially The whole COM

THE LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB
The Coming Meeting.

Lovers of the turf will receive with pleasure
the announcement made in another column that
the Louisiana Jockey Club have already pre-
pared their programme for the fall events, and
the purses offered give to horsemen extraordi-
nary inducements.
The prestige of this club i, such that there
can be no doubt Of the meetings being complete
success. The last one was such q browning VIC
tory that there can now be no question of the
brilliant display in store for those who may be
fortunate enough to visit the Louisiana Jockey
Club track during the coming Fall Meeting.
Our people are naturally lovers of sport, and
their ardor for turf contests has long since
passed into proverb The well remem oered days
of Lexington and Lecompte and their battles
over our fields still are fresh to ALL and the pros
pect of renewal of these struggles can not fail
to call out the entire masses.
The residents Of New Orleans ara essentially
turtles, and the news that the arrangements for
the coming meeting are completed will be hailed
with unbounded delight. The stewards have
left nothing undone to secure good sport. The
tack has been placed il the most perfect con-
dition, and the system of drainage which so sue
cessfuly dried the course last year has teen con-
siderably elaborated.
Those who hRve had much experience on the
principal tracks in the United States, are unani-
nous in stating that our cour is probably the
tastes in America. Its perfect level and respon-
sve spring, makes it for the horses most safe and
speedy.
Saturday, December 4th, is fixed upon as the
opening day, and from the programme we feel
assured that it will be gala occasion in the city.
The first race will be q two milo hurdle, one
which, owing to the many hazards, never fails to
attract the fair ones, after which follows the
Slooomb Stakes for colts with large fed alrea ay
entered.
In prospectu, we can already hear the patter on
the road Of our fast trotters, and the exciting
picture of Canal street enlivened by the presence
of throng Of teams rises up, the bell sounds, and
Prest. Breaux orders the Jockeys to ''ssd lie up.
The whole scene comes up, and with sigh we re-
greet that Saturday, Dece Der 1, is not here. The
invigorating breezes give swifter mot ON to the
bloo', the clear skies healthier appreciation Of
our Southern cline, and the soft sunsets a richer
picture Of our landscape, and all that is needed
to complete it is gathering such as will doubt
less be present when our fall sports open. Let
those who are fond Of turf spo ts not fail to
reap q portion OF the harvest 81 generously
offered by the Louisiana Jockey Club.

WHAT rs LOVEa
IN REPLY TO A LADY.

asked Maiden" What is Love? ?"
As we wandered thr 1ugh the night,
Beneath the gaze of the listening moon,
And the stars dm bashful light.
The Maiden, catching my longing eye,
Smiled as she blushed and made reply
"What is Love ?-'Tis laughing, crying,
Over phantom joys and fears;
little Truth and p enty Lying
To fill up our weary years."
A cloud passed over the moon that night,
And the stars, each, died with an anxious light.
asked Matron-" What is Love?"
As sat by her side one night,
While without the moonbeams, struggling, fell,
And the stars were hid from sight.
The Matron smiled as ste caught my eye,
And kissed her babe ere she made reply
"What is Love-Tis dts Heaven
IT'S Faith and Trust, and TRUTH
A gift to man divinely given
To make all life all youth"
The moon burst forth from the clouds that night,
And the stars burned forth with joyful light.

scribed, is not altogether stranger in the Sixth
District and your artic OF the 18th inst. created
some merriment in household up town, where
Mr.. Walton has related before those pleasing an
ecdotes Of his old friends Clay and Calhoun, and
wnere he sojourned line days at the landlady 3
expense. His department while in the house
was unexceptionable, but he left without saying
good bye.
A few days ago, while walking down Magazine
street, he met his former hostess whom he failed
to recognize after an absence of seven months
She spoke to him, and reminded him ofmany lit
lie Incidents of his stay up town, among otht r
things his indebtedness. He replied, with ex-
ceeding modesty: Madam, pard' me, but I've
never met you BEFORE" and he bowed himself
away.

sentiments ON he occasion. Suffice it to say, she
thinks hard of Mr.. Walton. Yours,
