FOR THE
New Orleans PLANTATIONS
EstiVaI Park.
s for rs cents.


Alsrge audience assembled at Esti-
val Park last night, and delightful
entertainment was the reward.
The intense midday heat had been
tempered by pleasant breezes late in
the afternoon, and the unconfned air
of the park was pure, fresh and fra
grant, therefore all who attended the
concert were much refreshed by doing
so. The musical Students performed
their particular part Of the programme
in an exceedingly artistic manner
and received unqualified praise from
all lovers of good music. They are
novel and unique, but in every sense
pleasant, and several numbers on their
programme were so enthusiastically
applauded that the Students repeated
them to appease the clamor. The
cavatina Home to Our Mountains, 7"
from II Trovatore, succeeded by
American airs, introducing Golden
Slippers" and few others equally
popular, were encored to the echo,
and the Students performed the latter
number the second time.
The programme included overtures,
mazourkas, waltzes, marches, and a
solo on the XilyphOne," Home,
Sweet Home" with brilliant varia-
tions. The latter, rendered by Carlo
Curt, the director of the Students,ox-
cited immense enthusiasm, and the
player repeated the selection.
The prima donna, Dora Gordon
Steele, is lyric artist of culture and
she rendered her respective selections
SO we'll that a recall was each time
extended her. Her first number was
the aria in the prayer scene of Mey.
erbeer's Robert the Devil To the
encore the lady amiably responded
with Away Down Upon the Suwauee
River" Her second number was
Abt's CUTE Nacht," and to this
she responded with tuneful
ballad, rendered with much spirit.
Herr Anton Strelezki, the pianist,
performed from memory the difficult
composition of List with such skill
and accuracy that the best judges Of
music present pronounced him supe-
r.or artist. On the whole the at
traction at Estival is worthy Of pa
tronage, and those fond of music
should not miss going to see and hear
the Students and the other novelties.

HER LAST NIGHT GOwt.
How Young Lady's Only One
Was Thrown Out Of n Car
window by an Uneasy
Beau.

Courier-J Journal
A well known young society beau of
this city, while travelling on an Iudi-
ana railroad recently, let his gallantry
get the better part of his judgment,
and got himself into a nice little
scrape. When he entered the car at
New Albany, he found it nearly full,
and he instantly made for a seat nearly
in the middle of the car which was va
cant. The seat in front Of him was
occupied by lady, and little girl,
while just behind sat young
lady, who seemed to be alone. The
lady aud little girl goS off at small
station about half way to Indianapo-
lis. Just as the train was starting
from the station the young man no.
ticed a bundle of female clothing
lying on the seat at his side. The idea
instantly occurred to him that the
lady who had just gotten out had for
gotten the bundle. He thrust his
head out of the window and called to
her, but she was just entering the sta
ton, and did not hear him. The train
had now started, and the young man
thought that the bundle would be
lost il he did not act quickly, 50 he
picked it up and threw it out of the
window on the platform. He then
sunk back on his seat with, an easy
conscience, fattering himself that he
had acted with wonderful presence of
mind. Things went along very smooth
ly until within few miles Of Indian
apolis, when the young lady
on the seat behind him
began to show signs OF restlesSness.
She looked under the seat she was
occupying, on the seat behind her, and
then on the seat on which the young
man was sitting. This search did not
seem to justify her, and in few mo.
ments she began to make inquiries OF
him-if he had seen a small bundle
on any of the Sc is. The young man
hair began gradually to stand on the
end, and for a few moments he was
speechless as he began to realize what
had become Of the bundle. He did
not dare to tell her what he had done
so he replied that he, had seen nothinr
of it. This increased the young lady,
uneasiness, and she made inquiries o
the conductor, but he had not seen it
A lady in a seat just behind her finally
asked if it was very valuable bundle
No" replied the young lady in al
audible whisper; "but it contained my
only nightgOwn." The young mai
attempted to make some amends wheI
they reached the city, by agreeing t.
hire a carriage for the young lady, anC
was very attentive to see that none o
her bundles were lost, and that sht
went to the right hotel.

how it got there is a difficult question

Of the steep gulches, with which the
country abounds, the bottoms are en-.
tirely covered with the strange sub
stance. In some places the color is
vivid in the extreme, while in others
it fades to faint pink, producing an
effect not readily described in words
Old prospectors, who penetrated the
regions two years ago, say that there
was no snow Of this description there
and its fall can scarcely have antedated
this year. Still higher, and at the
very foot Of the mountain, the red
snow disappears, and nothing save the
