AMUSEMENTS.
LOIIENlRII .
Decidedly "Lohengrin" has excited the ouri
oslty of our opere goers, for there was again a
full house at the Varieties last evening to listen
to the masterpiece of Wagner, the creator of
what is called the musio of the future. The sao
cess of this opera, by the way, has prompted the
management to rpeat "Lohengritn" at the
matinee on Saturday nex', (probably for the last
time), in order to afford everybody an opportu
nity to see it. On this ocasion the admission
price to the best parts of the house will be only
one doller, as nusal, and only twenty-five cents
extra fir reserved seats.
Last evening we were very much pleased to
notice that Miss Pappenbeim was in better voice
and that she played with unusual spirit. Mr.
8iegand, Miss Grimminger and Mr. Adolphe
also played and sang with more than ordinary
effect. The part of Lohenirin was sung by Mr.
Frltsch, wh-se pleasant timbre (a little Tff eted
by tremolo) we have already noticed. We have
only to say that Mr. Frits !t acquitted himself of
his dificult task beyond our expectations. In
deed the entire performance was pleasant, the
satisfa tion of the audience being frequently
manitested by geu.ine applause.
We must revert to last night's performance,
and to Mr. Fritsch, to recommend to our readers
this splendid termminatin of the first not of "Lo
hengrln," the pre'ude to the third act, the air of
the triumubal entrance of the king, which was
well snng by Mr. Wi·gand, and above all, to the
magnificent re'itattiv of Lohetngrin, in the same
act, to which, if Mr. Fritech will only apply the
requisite studly, will secure for him very flatter
ing criticisms.
To-night Donnizetti'a great masterpieoe, '"Lncia
de Lvmermoor," will be presented by the Fryer
Pappenheim company.
MAC'ALLIATER.
Both at the matinee and evening performances
of Macalhiter, the magician, at the 8t. Charles
yesterday there were fine audiences again, and
the prospects are that these gift entertainments
will continue to prove attractive for some time
yet is come. At the matinee Mrs. Ohas. Mor
gan, No 260 Prlrur stheet, and Mr. Denis Ms
early, No. 84 Plubp street, each received a gilt
rimmed china tea set. At the evening perform
ance the two sewing machines were awarded
respectively to Mr. J. Labry, No. 17 Bourbon
street, and Mr. . . . Humphreys, No. 47 Ram
part street.
The principal presents tonlight will be two
gilt-rimmed china tea sets.
}ENEVIEVE ROtERA

Academy of Music.
W. W. COLE.
This genllAmar, the preprietor and manager of
Cole's Now York and New Orleans musenm, me
nageric, aquarium, circus, school of gyrrnaDia
and trained animals exposition, arrived in this
city last evening. This b g show is really a New
Orleans inethution, and is probably the vastest of
its kind in America. Ihe mammorth tents will be
thrown open to the .ublio on Monday next, to
continue otp we ~k only, at the corner of Canal
and Rocheblave streets. There will be two per
formances daily, one at noon and one at night, at
the moderate prioe of fifty cents to see circus,
menagerie, museum and everything else.
sRW!IABLE AND CONCERT.
The Ladies' Aid society of the Felicity Street
Church will give a grand sociable and concert in
the basement of their church to-night and to
morrow night. The entertainment is given to
raise the necessary means to repair the time
honored ediflce. The preparations which have
been made for the affair indicate that it will be
brilliant, entertaining and select. The price of
admission is only twenty-five cents.
BREVITIE.
An advertiser in the 'ic has "good board, en
suite and single."
For the benefit of the ladies we will observe,
that lull drtes, or opera cloaks end other toggery,
are not adopted at the Varieties. All of which
is quite sensible, as the arrangement of the
theartre is quite diffrrertt from that of the old
Bourbon street Opera Ilinese.
Mr. Nathan says a steamship line to BraI'l
won't pay. The postal committee of the OCham
ber of Commerce say they want a subsidy for a
line to Brazil. Can't they get together and com
promise matters and thus secure co-operative
action ?
The erratic lounger who is thinking of his lady
love, or the business man who is computing how
he will manage to pay his note that falls due on
the mrrr, w, if they stand a line more than four
feet thriee inches in their boos, have a poor show
on Roydl street, on account of the low awnings
on that thoroughfare. It seems to us that tall
men should have something like fair play.
There will be a meeting of the Immigration
Association this evening at Expositi n H11a, at
which a large attendance is expected. I he va
rious sooieties of the city, o mposed of f,reign
born citizene, are invi ed to attend, and, a.c bis is
tie last nm eling before the State conovetion,
whlch meete in January, it is hoped th-it all pi r
sons inter"ast, d in this movement will make it a
point to be present.
A case of identiflcati n. A gentleman pr-
sents a draft and the cashier requires that I o be

A slip of copy lost on the way from the editor
ial to the composing room, makes us appear in
Wedn. sday morning's issue as an u -appreciative
critic. It contained our appreciation of Miss
Miuzelli's graceful and tasty pirformanoc of the
"seduction so-ne" in the third act of 'Robert le
Diable." That charming artis', with poetic mo
tion aid gesture, faiIly vanqutished the gallant.
kr-ight and the audience. We don't blame either.

PACKARD VY. LAWBRNCE-LEW1$ AND
OGLESDY TO BE RENOMINATED.
Lewis Indorsed Last Nilwht-- ash Wants
the Naval Office.
"Just you hold your breath until you see who
will be the Collector," said a Packard man on
Wednesday morning in reply to the inquiries of
a DEMOCRAT reporter, "and you'll find that the
'oses,' as you call him, will come out on top."
Yes; but how is that "top" business to be ar
ranged? queried the reporter.
Easy enough, was the answer; the President
has said he
WOrULD RENOMINATE ILAWRENCE,
and he will doubtless do so, but that hundred
Representatives and twenty-seven Rtepublioan
Senators will show to him that he will not be
confirmed, and once rejected, the President hav
Itg kept his word, will send Packard's name in,
for the reason, if nothing else, that he would be
the best person to keep the Republican party
together.
That there is foundation for suoh statement
there is no dlubt, as late private atdvics to
Packard's frienr;R iedicate, and on the other hand
Mr. Lawrenoý's friends avsert that it will take
just the balano of the .sna'e to curflrm hum,
and that they claim tlhy will have when his vtnae
is sent in and reported upon by the Committee

A DOIUBTrFUL. DEATH.
A 5OI II'TFI;I DEATH.
Was That of A. P. Michon, Who Wvn
Found Last Niplht in an 4lie) ihot
Through the Brain.
At abcut 8:55 ('clock last night August P,
MionOl., aged 27 years, met with an untimoel
death in aln alley way ruinintg along the side (o
the troardng-house No,. 14 Sr. Philip street.
lia death was caused by a pisaol ball which
entered lhis right temple and penetrated ttre
brain. Although the circumetances attendant on
his death conclinively enough lid to a case of
self-destruction, yet no cause is assigned for the
rash sact, which leaves the matter in doubt.
A DNTocaRAT reporter visited the scene of the
tragedy and was furnished the following:
Officer Montarette stated that while be was
standing at the corner of Levee and St. Philip
streets he heard a noise that sounded to him like
the slamming of a door. A few minutes there
after Mr. L. Labrnn, the proprietor of the b ,ard
iog-house No. 14 St. Philip street, came rushing
up to him and stated that there was a man shot
in his al eyway.
The officer repaired to the alley described, and
on arriving at the scene he found the deceased,
who at that time was alive, but in a speechless
condition, in a stooping position, supported by
two men named B. F. Smith aud F. E. Robert,
one of whom was attempting to prevent the flow
of blood from the wound in the unfortunate
man's head. Officer Geary states that when he
arrived upon the sceno he found a pistol covered
with blood lying alongeide of the deceased, the
man having by this time expired.
Mr. Latrunn made a statement, in which he
said that Wednesday night the deceased came to
his boarding-house, in omrupany with a man
named Gill, who was carrying his trn'ik. The
deceased stated to him that he wanted toi b ardl,
and paid two days' board in advance. being per
sonally acqluainted wibh the decessed, and know
ing that hitherto he htd resided with his uncle,
Mr. Miohon, at the corner of it. Anthony alley
and Royal street, he thorvht that he had just
come to town.
Last night, just previous to the tragedy,
Miohon asked the oork, a man, to go out in tthrr
rear of the city. whic. the cook refrs d tio d',
he then protposetd a visit to the theatre which
was accepted. tie then went ba'k into the yard,
and in a few moments all in the saloon htear a
report like the slamming of a door or the f x
plosion of a Fire crack,,r comi'ng frrm the d:ric
tion of the alleyway to the r ght if tihe pretni.s.
The solutitio of the noise iil nrot satitfy him,
and taking a candle he went into the all y-way
and found Mic(hoo lying on the flWgs b.eeding
profusely from a wound in tth right tý mple. ;r
notrfled the police, with the result as above
stated.
The body of the deceased was brought to the'
Third Station, where an investigation will be held
to day.
