the Opera House was again crowded last night
with the good people Of New Orleans to Witness
the tableaux, to hear the singing and do honor
to the memory OF the Immortal Lee. The hos

were not submitted to the ordeal Of night be-
fore last in sending away thousands OF visitors
and the corridors were more roomy In the
foyer q comparatively Wide berth was allotted
to stroers. and the esthetin enjoyment OF the
artistic gazeron was not disturbed by pleasant

stage particularly the lady officers Of the 1850

thing else that has been presented during the
series OF entertainments was handsome Mt :
