Jn The Morescos. on t male o The Morosco Pantomine and Spe- costi t- ciality Troupe have been performing Hi in this city during the present week. to hi Notwithstanding they came unan. mc [. nounced, and the weather was cold, Mar n tainy aund disagreeable, a crowded beft house greeted them every night. fines Their performances consist of acro- les batic feats, jig dancing, character mes J" sketches, songs, farces, pantomimes, slackwire feats, etc. We have no e. hesitancy in characterising this TI Br troupe as a first-class one, and they WR perform what they advertise. The met -- members of the troupe are oe tainly Am an exception in their deportment as his q. they are always corteous, affable and leat a polite. . They have won golden opin- tbe 1. ion from all who have patronized or o them and most assuredly deserve the has encomiums of the press wherever wit Sthey have performed. We cordially t join in their general recommenda- ma . tion. af Invitations have been issued for i the Grand Ball, next Wednesday,. e and great preparations are being E Smade for that event. The admission for a gentleman and two ladles is for I. $2 50. As It is given for a benevo- pat g. lent purpose, our citiseas should at. n- tend It In large numbers.

Up to ' lo* the present time they have failed to Ju receive the amount promised them ). for services rendered by them to the )U- Fourth Congreslional Dlstrlot Con vention. This sum would about 11. quldate their indebtedness. Will el those interested, at once make an effort to settle with the Band ? It of has been several months since the services were rendered. The Italian vs. expresshln is apropos to this subject, vo" "occorso non viens ma:i tardi." At the recent session of the Police L, Jury a resolution was nlatroduced by of Mr. Hathorn to appoint a commit. tee of Messrs. W. O. Breazeale, Pres. f, Ident, J. E. Messt, Clerk, and Win.

Unanlmous, Save One Last Tuesday, in accordance with a resolution passeLJ by the City COUn oil the tax-payers of the city of Natchitoches, polled their votes oi, the question of the expediency of levying a special tax to and ,in the construction of a Railway from this place to Prudhomme's station on the line of the N. O. & T. P. R. ., said tax to be five mills on the dollar, and to continue in force for a period of ten years, commencing with the yei r 1881. Considerable interest was mani fested in this election by the friends of this measure, and a majority of the property holders visited the polls during the day. Some 111 votes were cast-of which only one was against the tax. Hence there is a unani mous desire on the part of the cltli zens that this enterprise should be carried into effect. Of course there is a diversity of opinion as to wheth er the results would prove more ben ,flital to this city than if the N. O. & T. P. R. R. should pass through here. This question we do not pro pose to discuss at present. One fact is assured-the citizens are in favor of the Tap Railroad, and if the Texas Pacific Company accept the decision as rendered at the ballot box this week, we too shall be nla rapid com munication with the outer world. This awakening to the exigencies of the times is a gratifying result, and it is to be hoped, is only the forerun ner of better things to come. On Thursday, the 12th instant, the string band of this city was reorga nlend at Mr. M. H. Wilkinson's drug store, on Front street, for the pres ent year. The "following members constitute the organization: Joe. H, Kile, President, viollncello; F. N. Tauzin, musical director, first violin; M H Wilkinson, secretary, B fiat cornet; John H Sheppard. 2nd vio lin; W H Tunnard, 1st flute; Dr. Jules Janin, 2nd flute; R Morrow, giltar. It is prohable that the Band will also aid in the festivities of the Hebrew ball on the 26tb. layor's Court. Martin Jackson, colored, was up before the Mayor on Friday last, charged with disturbing the peace. He was fined $5 and costs. Jno. Butler, colored, was arrested on the 13th for a similar offense and moleted in the sum of $2 50 and costs.
