tcrtninmcnt for the Poor.

The entertainment given at the Aca-
denny last night under the auspices OF

nent by the Imperial Quartette. This

by the admirable rendition of plantation

trnsic value. Their appearance last eve
ming was greeted with appreciation. and

ness. Mr. Andre Burthe sang "LoI-

that caused the rls'bles OF the audience

abundance OF humorous stories neatly
permeated into the course OF the mono
logue. His character stories were espe-
cially well told. and he clearly displayed
a versatility to initiate foreigners.
