Julia Matthews.

This actress and English opera singer
died yesterday at St. Louis. She was born
in London, perhaps thirty-dve years ago,
and appeared on the stage of the Strand
Theatre when child. She was soon after
taken to Australia, and starred a. an lin
FAINT prodigy" She remained in Australia
for q period Of fourteen years. working hard
and playing leading characters in comedy,
tragedy, burlesque, opera and farce, and
acting Ophelia, and opposite parts to G. v.
Brooke when she was only fourteen years
of age. Returning to London about seven
years ago, she was the original Grand
Duchesse in English in that city, and
sang the role for 200 consecutive nights,
and she thereafter became famous in bur-
lesque opera, in English, which has been
her line of business since. Last fall she
was induced to come to this country, and
opened at Wallack's Theatre, in New York.
She was badly managed, had q picked up
company of Indifferent artists for support,
and did not succeed. The company dis
banded soon after in Washington, and Miss
Mathews went to the Theatre COmique, in
New York, as q ballad singer. Another
company was organized for her in opera,
and with that party she sung here
q few weeks since. Ill luck has at.
tended the poor woman through all her
journeyings in America, and at last she
finds the quiet of death in . strange city of
q strange land. She was . good singer and
q capital little actress.

HONE LIFE 1NsURANCE.-The Louisiana
Equitable Lite Insurance Company, organ
lied in 1863. has steadily advanced in popu-
lar estimation and stands to-day one OF the
favorite institutions of our city and State.
The annual election for directors and off,
GERS WAS held On the seventeenth of April
last, and the result is given in the adver-
tisement to be found in our columns this
morning The gentlemen chosen are among
the most successful and reliable merchants
of our city, in whose care the company will
be sure to prosper. This is home company,
and as such it deserves the support and en-.
couragement of all of our citizens. In ad
dition to this it should be borne in mind
that the rates of the Louisiana Equitable
have not been advanced, but are the same
to- day as when the company was first or
ganized, while nearly all of the Northern
and Western companies doing business
here have advanced their charges, especial
ly on Southern business. In some instances
the rates of to-day, when compared with
those Of 1870, show an increase of over
sixty per cent. The rates of the Louisiana
Equitable are the same as those of the Mu-
tual Life Of New York, company having
now nearly $80, ,00O, 900 of assets. The off.
GERS of our home company know that with
care and economy these rates are sufficient
to bring success, and believing that life in
surance is one of the necessities of life,
they are unwilling to overburden our peo-
pie with high rates, either for the purpose
Of rapidly rolling up wealth or making a
big show, and they richly deserve the sue.
cess and popularity which they have gained.

Little Lucia Zarate.

One OF the most remarkable human
beings ever seen in this country, or perhaps
in any other, arrived in this city last week,
and is stopping at the St. Charles Hotel,
with her parents, direct from Mexico, and
unknown to the American public. This
child, Lucia ZArate, was born at Vera Cruz,
and is said to be twelve years old. She is
twenty inches high and weighs scarcely
more than five pounds. Imagine French
doll walking and talking to you and some
idea of her appearance can be had. Stand
ing on psrlor floor her head reaches about
to the seat of an ordinary chair, and yet
her limbs and body are in all respects we'll
proportional. Mrs. Belknap could get no
more than one toe of her foot into the Mexi-
can girls shoe. Her head, about as
big as big mans fist, is we'll shaped and
covered with soft brown hair. The only
thing out of line with her size is her nose;
that was evidently made for a lar ger girl,
but it will do. She has bright black eyes,
and is intelligent, conversing with little
voice in the language of her parents. She
runs and plays about the room as if she en-
joyed her little life, and salutes and bids
adieu to her guests with evident propriety.
In the way of q joke che offered to carry
tat reporter on her back, and STOPPING over
asked him to climb up on her shoulders.
The little midgit will astonish any one who
sees her, because She Is SO tiny and 80
human. Standing by the side of Tom
Thumb che would reach his elbow, and the
General would look like an Overgrown and
bloated aristocrat. The Lilliputian is to be
taken to the Centennial Exposition, and
stops here for few days to consult dolls
dressmakers about fashionable wardrobes
for herself. In the meantime she will hold
receptions at the Academy of Music.

ORLEANS
The New Orleans PaciAc Railroad Com

The New Orleans Pacific Railroad Com.
By reference to the Court Record it will
be seen that Judge Lynch has exercised due
judicial discretion in the matter of the bond
to be taken for the appeal ordered by the
Supreme Court On the dissolution Of the in
junction asked for by L. C. Roudanez.
There are many parties interested in this
suit. First are those who. with Mr.. Rou-
danez, seek to restrain the city from allow
ing the voters to say whether or not they
will help to build the road. Then there are
the Mayor and Administration, and it, in
justice to their policy, seems - if they
were opposed to any action whatever.
Then there is the Pacific railroad, eager to
have its claims presented to the people,
and with energy enough to survive any de-
feat it may receive. Last of all is the pee
pie that wants q road and knows no way to
get it.
Judge Lynch appears to have cut the
gordian knot. He takes the ordinary bond
OF appeal, with the additional clause that
the appellants shall be liable for all dam
age that may accrue.
That there may be NO surprise, he has
fixed next Saturday for the intervenor, the
railroad, to prove it's probable damage.
This should be satisfactory to the appel
lants and the voters, as well az the COM
pany that applied for it,
