The China Palace.

We direct attention to the announcement
that the new and elegant establishment OF
Messrs. Navra e. Offner, at No. 129 Canal
street, will be opened in a few days, when
will be exhibited to our citizens stock OF
china, glass and Gro ckery ware seldom
equalled in this country. and on that will
justly claim the title chosen for the store,
"China Palace" In this connection we must
express our qualification at the fact that
those two young, energetic and popular
gentlemen, Messrs. NJ. L. Navra and E.
Ohner, have reunited their talents, capital
and influence under the old and hOnored
firm name of Navra e. Offner. In such a
union, combining all of the attributes
requisite to success, we zee good omen,
not only for the gentlemen themselves, but
for the commercial affairs of our city, in
which they are so competent to take prom
inent part. The enterprise and integrity
which made tho firm of Navra & Offner 80
popular in the past will mark the course of
the future, bringing to them rich reward.
The elegant stock which will fill the new
store was selected by Mr.. Offner in person,
at the great auction sales in the North, and
will be sold at prices heretofore unheard of
for cheapness. In the meantime the stock
at the old store, No. ia Canal street, will
be sold at greatly reduced prices, in prefer
ence to moving it,

The Amateurs.

The Orleans Dramatic Association is the
first of similar organizations in this city to
unfold its programme for the coming sum
mer season. The first performance will be
given on the thirteenth of May, when will
be played the Robertson comedy called
Society" Other performances will follow
at intervals until September. For this
season the association has concluded an
engagement with Miss Isabel Freeman as
leading lady. The last stock position
occupied by Miss Freeman was as the
leading lady at the New Park Theatre,
in Brooklyn. Since making New Or.
leans her home she has too seldom
appeared in public, but she is by no means
forgotten by those who witnessed her
charming presentations at the old Varieties
Theatre. Miss Freeman first appeared on
the stage in 1860. when she played Juliet at
the Howard Athenaum, in Boston. She
was little more than full grown child
then; but her debut was most successful.
and ever since she has stood in the front
rank of her profession. Miss Maggie Stroud
back and other ladies will assist, and the
prospect is fair for the association to keep
up it's entertainments to the old standard of
excellence.

French Millinery.

One of the most elegant stocks of mil.
linery goods. hats, bonnets, flowers and
trimmings to be found in the city, is at the
well-known establishment of Mrs. F. II
Hardon, No. % Chartres street. The popu-
larity Of Mrs. Hardon's goods with our
best class of citizens, who daily crowd her
spacious fashion parlors, is evidence that
she understands the tastes of the ladies of
the Crescent City, and is prepared to sup
ply all that they want AS this is race week,
and the ladies have resolved to attend the
meeting, we have no doubt hundreds of
them will call on Mrs Hardon to get a
jaunty new hat or stylish bonnet to wear
on the grand stand. And we may say here
that although Mrs. Hardon sells goods OF
the best quality and most fashionable
styles, her prices are very reasonable, and
in the end will be found much more salts
factory than articles which sound cheap,
but do not wear we'll. Call and examine
Mrs. Hardon's stock and prices.

Dan Bryant.

The telegraph informs US that this cele
brated actor and minstrel died suddenly in
New York yesterday, and that he was born
in Troy in 1888. He appeared in public first
as dancer when small boy. With his
brothers, Neil and Jerry, he organized
Bryant's minstrels in 1857, and for long
period played at Mechanics Hall, on Broad
way. Jerry Bryant, who always occupied
the other lend" in first part scenes, died in
1861. Dan, in addition to his minstrel
business, occasionally appeared in white
face characters on the stage. He was the
original Handy .Andy in w. r. Floyd's
drama of that name. and played the part
successfully in Europe and in this country.
He would have been widely known as an
Irish comedian had not minstrelsy proved
the more profitable. He was q leading
spirit in thes4Actors' Benevolent Order of
Elks, and no man was personally more
popular and better liked in the profession

Amusement te.

Tonight at the st. Charles Theatre the
Soldene English Comic Opera Company will
produce, for the first time in this city, Often
bach's new opera bouffe, called Madame
L'Archiduc. 1t will be given in the same
complete manner, as to costumes and chorus,
that other operas have been rendered by this
troupe, and as the opera fever is just now
so strong upon the people of our city they
need not be further reminded of the excel
lence OF the Soldene troupe and the produc-
ton of new opera.
At the Academy of Music on Monday
night will be played new drama from the
pen of Mr.. j. }. Wallace, called "The Man
from America" This will bring back the
stock dramatic company in support of Mr..
Wallace, who will himself play the hero of
the piece Mr.. Wallace is one of the best
eccentric character comedians on our stage.
He is a true artisan actor with ideas of
his own-with the mimical and dramatic
ability to catch the foibles of strange charac-
ters and hold them up for public entertain
ment. In his new drama he will realize
the person of the eccentric George Francis
Train.

The Census,


According to the provisions of act No. q
of 1875, Colonel William Wright, State reg.
istrar of voters has made every necessary
preparation to secure an accurate and
thorough enumeration of the population OF
Louisiana.
Circulars to the supervisors of registra.
ton who are charged with this duty and
blank forms have been prepared, and will
soon be distributed. In the circular the
duties of the supervisor are clearly indi-
Gated and all necessary information given.
The forms are three in number-twO of
them for the use OF the supervisors in max
ing compilations and the other to represent
only single household.
Colonel Wright designs taking the census
in the city on the English plan; that is, by
households simultaneously. About fort
night before the end Of she month a blank
form will be left with every householder
This contains explicit directions for filling
up, with data Of age, sex, color, nativity,
naturalization Of each person in the house,
together with the trade or calling, voters,
acres of land cultivated and births. These
data the householder is asked to furnish on
honor, and it is hardly to be supposed that
any who are able to fill the blanks them
selves will do SO Incorrectly. They are to
be filled up on the thirtieth day of April
and all collected the following morning
They will then be compiled and forwarded
to Colonel Wright's office, where the heavy
work will be done.
1t will be seen that the scheme compre-
hends an accurate statement of every i'm
portant particular Of the population of the
State at one certain given time. Such a
statement will be invaluable to statisticians,
and of great importance to the welfare of
the State and every person in it. The sue.
csss Of it depends, as it should, entirely on
the people themselves. The State Registrar
has done his duty, thus far, by conceiving
the plan and providing blanks. The super
visors will dc theirs, for they will be stimu-
lated by pride in their work. Their labors
will be valuable or worthless according to
the aid they receive. As there can be no
political object in Withholding the informa.
ton, and if correctly given it will afford
the surest data for future estimates, all
newspapers should urge the people to give
every assistance in their power.

The meeting this evening at St. Patrick $
Hall, under the auspices of the Hibernia
Benevolent and Mutual Aid Association is
likely to be largely attended. The distin-
guished orator of the evening, John II.
New, Esq, would be of himself sufficient to
draw an audience on such theme, but
others that the public will wish to hear will
say few words in tribute to the memory
of the Irish patriot.
The officers and members of the associa.

to be present.

Court Items.

No courts were in session veaterdav ex
cept the United States Circuit and the Su-
preme Court.
In all the districts courts the death of
Judge Atocha was looked upon as enforcing
an adjournment without motion from the
bar. Judicial propriety seemed to require
that the court should, of it's own motion,
when brother judge had died in harness
postpone all business.
