WHY Is THIS THUS

1t has been a source Of much comment that
nothing has been done with the wharf at the
Old Lake. Since the storm of August last moth
ing has been done towards repairing the dam
age then done. The directors refuse to repair
the line. and have taken UP the shells from
about the former stopping place at the Lake
end. They refuse to run their trains to the
depot on Elysian Fields street. and stop on the
neutral ground between Royal and Bourbon
hus compelling passengers to board the train
there.
ing public they have moved their track to the
opposite side of the Old canal proven ing any
other road from building there without cross

to force all outlet to the watering places to the
Mobile road as there is no disposition shown
to keep up communication with Milneburg

A SACRED CONCERT.

The Church of the Immaculate Conception
was crowded yesterday evening with the faith
full OF both sexes to celebrate the Feast of the
Compassion of the Blessed Virgin Mary. For
this holy occasion. as was announced in yester-
day mornings DEMOCRAT. Prof. Collignon had
organized q sacred concert. which was a great
success as well as religious as a musical feast.
The Jesuit Fathers are renowned for their good
taste and the church was beautifully decora' ed.
The sacred music was peIformed during the
ment. and we know OF none more impressive
among all the elouuently grand ceremonies of
the Catholic Church.
The concert began by the 'veni Sanits' OF
Detsch. sung with great ensemble by the choir
Then followed the .quatuor from the Requiem

tenor, and Mr.. A. Cassard, basso. It must be
stated that Mr.. Meteve. the favorite tenor of our
amateur concerts. who was to sing in the
quatuor. was yesterday taken with sudden
hoarseness. and Mr.. Broadey volunteered to
take bis place, After only single rehearsal!
with Prof Collignon this gentleman attempted
the difficult task Of singing the tenor part.
which he accomplished with eminent success
The " Stabat Mater" If aounod was then sung

music is like all that Gonnod has written-full
OF scient 1c harmony. The style Is eminentIy
ecclesias cal mysti al and even sombre, such
as creates ideas OF old cathedrals with dark
and heavy granite arches, under which the
soul is forcibly bowed down to solemn and
reyerenial prayer.

tones, the Jesus Ducis.'' and the ceremony

has figured prominently and brilliantly in the
history OF the island. especially since the be-

Ricardo Cespedes is young gentleman.

army of the patriots for nine years. He is the
son of Gen. Xavier. Vice President Of the Re-
public and is now the secretary of the Cuban
Junta In New York. Col. Cespedes arrived
last evening from that city, where he has been
residing for six or seven months-sfnce mis- de-
ing his presence In New Orleans. he answered
that he had very little that he could communi-
cate now. but that he was here in the interest Of
Cuban independence and to dispel with proofs

Cubans Of New Orleans, through Spanish In

simply of the belief that all or the larger por-

We took our leave of Col Cespedes. after he
had assured US that should any occurrences
worthy of publicity take place he would notify
us of the fact.
