New Orleans Minstrels.

FROM the JaekSohVl1e (lll.1 JOufnai.
The New Orleans Minstrel compa-
ny at the opera house last night was
greeted with a good audience, the
gallery and over half the body of the
house being filled. This company
had with them the band that has Wis
tied this city for quite q while, and
| their beautiful instruments attracted
considerable comment. The intro
ductory overture and chorus, includ-
ing their comic songs and funny say
ings, was we'll executed, aud greatly
| pleased the audience. The singing
| by the quartette was fine indeed, and
loudly applauded. The cornet play
ing Of Mi. L. P. Benjamin was a feat
of musical skill that received a heavy
encore. The clog dancing of Pearl
and Weldy was as finely executed
ss any that we have seen, and showed
that they are artists in their special
ties. The baritone solo, "Suwanee
River" and variations by Mrs. Nell
lie Gorton, seemed to be especially
well received. Taken altogether, the
performance last evening was con-
siderably above the average, and the
audience departed running over with
laughter.
The company alluded to above
will give . performance at the opera
house in this city Friday evening,
April 1. Reserved seats eau be had
from A. G. Armstrong, at Kabrich's
store.
