Opera House last evening, and the splen-
did audience, filling every seat In the
theater rose en- masse at the end OF the
performance and cheered the famous COM

De Koven's tuneful work, considered
and Justly too--the best American light
opera, has been seen in this city several
times, but as a whole the performance OF
last evening was a revelation so far as
completeness and detail was concerned.
1t was an almost fawless entertainment.
The fine voices OF the principals had am
pie scope, and familiar numbers were
rendered beautifully. Jessie Bartlett

capable acting.
Mr. McDonald's impersonation was like

Miss Henley sang well and looked charm

Great Damage in Tensas Parish, With Loss of Life-Cattle Starving on the
 Range in Colorado.

New Orleans, Oct. 30.-A cyclone yes- terday struck Lake Joseph, in Tensas parish, and meagre reports from the low CT part of the parish indicate that great damage was wrought. The cotton gin on the Mound plantation, belonging to Joe Curryn, was destroyed. The course of the storm was from southwest to northeast, striking Bruen Lake at Locust land, de- stroying the public bridge over Choctaw bayou. Twelve cabins on Locust land were demolished, killing one colored wo- man.
 At Johnson's Bend, on Lake St. Joseph, the scene is one of desolation. Two col ored men were killed and two colored women and boy from Locust land were drowned in Lake Bruen, where they were carried by the fury of the wind. Three barns containing corn were destroyed, and much of the corn was blown away. Six cabins were blown to pieces and sev- eral persons were badly cut and bruised. The tenants living in the houses had their clothing and household effects blown away. Telegraph and telephone wires are down and the public road on the Lake Joseph front is covered with fragments of houses. furniture, clothing, cotton, corn and household effects.

AT O'BRlEN'S.

One of the great events of the dramatic season will be the appearance of Rhea and her company of players at OBrien s opera house next Wednesday, matinee and night. She will open the engage ment with a special matinee, in her mag nificent production of Josephine, Elm press of the French" The role of the un- happy queen and her self-sacrificing de- votion to Napoleon is intelligently told by the author through much painstaking effort. Rhea always invests the charac- ter with charming dignity, and with her delightful broken English, acclaimed in a most effective way, and with her sweet, simplicity, carries away the hearts of those who see her. She is invariably given curtain calls after each of the five acts to which she graciously responds. Her supporting company this year is more than satisfactory, numbering as 1t does twenty-two ladies and gentlemen, who are thoroughly suited to the charac- ters which they portray The play is a historic picture of six tableaux, with effect far more picturesque than dra- matic The divorce of Josephine is about the only place where great dramatic effect can be shown. Rhea looks every inch a queen, her costumes, six in num- Der, being very beautiful and picturesque, while stage pictures are notably attrac- tive.
 On Wednesday night she will give her most excellent characterization of Schil- ler's masterpiece, Mary Stuart" It is needless to Say that the performance will be most artistic, complete in every res- pect, and the mere announcement of the engagement of this distinguished woman will serve to fill the theater with our best class of theater-goers and society people The costuming of this play has been made special feature, and the dresses of the Elizabethian times are novel in style, but most beautiful.
