He says that he don't need the degree, because he has it already from Williams College, and that Harvard's action is a clear gift to rjvften thousand votes in the fall.

The attractive features of this popular place of resort are so numerous and so unexceptionable in all of their parts that ft la almost superfluous to commend them more higbly than tbey have been already by a unanimous press.

It Is the aim of tbe management, by the choice, refined and elevated character of tbe entertainments offered the public at West End. to make that place tbe favorite one with the most respectable classes of society. Good order ia everywhere maintained and the strictest decorum exacted; while In the transportation, by the cars, of the thousands who dally leave the city for an evening's enjoyment of the delightful Lake breezes, anst tbe picturesque and floral walks at West End, speed, safety and comfort are secured to all. The great love of muslo for which tbe people of New Orleans are famous, especially of a classical order and of the eompofeltlons of the great masters, has not been overlooked by President Walker in providing for the amusement of the patrons of West End. A large and well organized band of the best musicians in tbe city, thoroughly trained and under the leadership of one of the most accomplished musician.

Prof. r. D'Aquin, is under engagement with the Rallioad Company for tbe season. In addition to this heavy outlay, one of the most wonderful and eminent cornetlsts in the world has been secured at a very great expense. In the brief time that Slg.

I has been with us he has fully established bis claims to recognition as a master cf his instrument. In brilliancy of execution, Bweemese of tone, correctness of style aud delicacy of expression he is surpassed by no other performer on the cornet now living. When our city, through the enterprise and liberality ot Col. Walker, can boast of such superior musical attractions as are sightly presented at West End, In the dull season of summer. It is a matter of con gratulation for our tople, and should ap peal forcibly to them lor their liberal pat xonage and encouragement.

Not even at Coney Island, Brighton Beach, Long Branch or Newport can he found so great an artist as Big. Iiberati to entertain visitors with anch rare musical treats as the guests of West End enjoy In listening to the superior performances of this wonderful cornetist When a musical star of such magnitude la ecnred for a small watering place In the euourbs of New Orleans, Iflf the eosimer time, it is a compliment to our people Vr hie hould be duly appreciated, aa It is Al to their musical taste and rityCdVr pnt degree, as all will admit who lwtt heard his delightful music executed with juaglo like power and Up te May 1 tobacco paid a tax to the CJoerment of THE CONTINENTALS. Their Pine Entertainment at the Grand Opera House. The Tahleaax he Proseated a Taelr Tear. The Continental Guards gave last even id ft an entertainment at the Grand Opera House, consisting of a dress rehearsal of seven of tbe tableaux which tbey are to present on their Northern, Eastern and Western tonr.

Tbe audience was probably the largest ever assembled in this theatre. Tbe bouse was packed from pit to dome, and hundreds of people wr nubble to find even standing room. Tne ladies present could be numbered by thousands, which indicates tne popu laritv of the Guards with the fair sex The tableaux consisted of tbe Battle of Bennington, tbe March to alley rorge. the Battle of Camden. Capture of Raul at Trenton, Washington at Monmouth.

Moll Pitcher at Monmouth, concluding with.a grand tableau coin posed of groups illustrating familiar historical pictures. As these tableaux are dscribed further on, in chronological sequence, it is an necessary lo refer to them here in detail. Suffice it to say that the scenes ie splendidly set forth on the stage, tie tableaux seeming, to a distant speo tutor, like immense pictures, vivid with color and brilliant effects. These rerr.nks spply, in fact, to all the tableaux, til teen in cumber, which will be exhibited by tbe Continentals on ihtirtour. They illustrate some of tbe mcst important events of tbe revolutionary war, and arc adapted as nearly practicable to the noted pictures of Cbappel in the Capitol at Washington.

Considering the tableaux in chronological order, they are an follows 1. Battle of Lexington, April 18, 177o the initial conflict of the war. In this scene appear the Minute Men and tb English forces under Col. Smith aod Major Pitcairn. the latter firing with his pistol tbe fatal shot which brought on ibe fight.

The principal feature of this tableau is the death of Gen.

These brief reference i give, of course, little more than the sojects of the tableenx. In preparing for the representations the Continentals have sought after accuracy in even small details. Tne whether of Continentals, Minute Men. British Infantrv or Ttod era, were mafle after the most approved example of tbe costumes of the revolutionary period.

The horses used are life size, snd fine specimens of workmanship. Tne properties also include cannon, flsgp, tto.

traVThin ia an i A BUBEOWIKG BURGLAR Captured Under the Basement of Eesidence on Rampart Street. The Odd Incidents mf a Hrel Arrest. No robbery or burglary since" the successful one committed at the Metropolitan Back has caused such widespread excitement and commotion as tbe attempted robbtry of the boarding house at the corner of Customhouse and Rampart streets. Tbe house is situated at tbe northwest comer, and is a three story brick building. Tbe floors in tbe house proper are about five feet from the ground, and the wall around tbe entire building is unbroken save by two iron ventilators on the Customhouse street side.

One of these ventilators has been broken for some time, and on last Saturday night it is thought this was taken advantage of by a gang of burglars, who crept throng the opening and then attacked the floor in the back room of the first story. With a half inch ausurthev commenced boring: directly under tbe bed of Col. F. W. Halxey, who occupied tbe room.

A thick rsrusseis carpet was on the floor, and although tbe gentleman heard a noise, he attri buted it to rats. At, ten minutes to 12 o'clock Sunday uiuLt a young man passing along Customhouse street haw the glimmer of a livht through tbe ventilator. aid meeting Private Watcbuian Lark in, of the Spanish Fore Railroad, informed him of the fac's. Lark a pro i dfd to the place and becoming satis tied that ihere was somebody under the borne went to the front door and rang the bell. Miss C.

L. Llam, the propria iitssof the bouse, was aroused and at once awakened her boarders. Coroorai Delmore, Sprcial Capo and Oihcer Ryder then came up and it wa determined that two of them snouin enter ine opening which the hieves had doubtless entered, whilst Larkm watched outside. Delmore and Ryder entered by the ventilator, and lighting candles, proceeded to exnlore what might be called the vaolt. Sure enough, lying on the gronnd, they found a sack, a gimiet, a shoemaker's knife, a coat and hat.

Investigating still further, they came to tbe spot wnere tbe noor nan oeen penetrated bv the augurs, and found that a piece about seven inches wide and twelve long had beeu bored and sawed out and had been fastened bv wood screws nntil tbe operators were ready to enter, when, bv tbe exercise or very little strength, the pieces could be pulled out. The oricers thoroughly searcherfr the place, but were unable to diic'rer any body there. Corporal Dattnore, however. raw an onenmc in tire wall between the kitchen and TUtvnnain on uuing, ana ne teered tiircmjab the opening, wnicn was a ift'fll il admit of the passage of his ouv. tint in th rtnrinn ria.rtrnAHH he could discern nothing in fact, the rays ot tne candle he carried only illumined a space ox a lew feet beyond the parti tion wan.

Althongb only Half satisfied with the exploration. Corporal Delmore, being nnaoie to surmount tne obstacle which presented itself, retreat but concluded to keep a sharp watch on the premises. soon aiier umcer cennance, wno is a much smaller man than the Corporal, in company with Watchman Laikin. also attempted to pass through the opening, bnt wete also unsuccessful. The at tempt to penetrate under the kitchen was then abandoned, and an ofllcer being leit to euaid the Hole, the officers nro ceeded to ascertain how near the thieves had proceeded towards effecting an en trance into the boose.

On removing Major Ha'se's bed they found the hole in the floor under the carpet, which had also beeu cut by tbe paiage of tbe caw, and leaving an ofti cer here also they concluded to await ents. i be day force relieved the night men and remained in the vicinitv all dav. In tbe meantime masons and carpenters were 6ent for, and the hole in the floor and tbe broken ventilator were repaired, and if any of the thieves re mained under the bouse, as was believed to be the case, they were literally entombed alive and caught like a rat in a trat. At 4 o'clock on Mondav afternoon, be lieving that the rumor of any one being unuer tbe nouse was iaie, and that the thieve bad escaped before the police ar rived on the previous night, tbe officers withdrew, bnt rematoed in tne neighbor nood in tne event that their services were required. About an hour later some little boys, wim a pertinacity peculiar to sucn.

re maiDtd in the vicinity and kept marching around the houae peering into the ventilators, more out of curiosity man witn any expectation ot seeing a man. They were barefooted, and as they paced along the sidewalk their movements were noiseless and would not alarm any one concealed under tbe bouse who might desire to escape. Snd denly one of tbein who was looking into tbe ventilator in tbe rear of the kitchen on Basin street, uttered a shrill cry of Here be is. here he is!" and his two companions rushed 'to the spot. They saw a man's body lying in an excavation in the ground near the ventilator, and a pair of their mi all hands were quickly withdrawn fiom the iron opening which he was striving to wrench from the wall.

Officers Pat Dale and J. Gorman heard the cries and ran to tbe spot, and iinme uiateiy maae preparations to descend to the place where the thief lay. Gaining access to tne ground under the front house by means of a trap door near the gas meter, they proceeded to the bole in the partition wall, through which they glided like snakes, being smaller men than any that had attempted tne passage before. Near tbe rear ven tilator the form of a man arose as if out of tbe gronnd, and assumed a sitting pnsiure. xneiace was paie.

tne lec tures sharp and pinched, aud the head was covered with a thick, bushy growth wl xuervoa wwo wuu ana of the strange apparition, like unto a corpse arisen from the grave, was calculated to amaze ice beholder. Ihere was no re treat lor tbe officers or for the apparition, and lor a few moments they glared at each other, until finally the policemen trained their revolvers on the figure, and it fonnd voice and tbe spell was broken. Creep ing, or rather crawling, on their hand and knees, they boldly advanced and grappled witn the man, who surrender .1 it eu unconditionally, iney tnen ascer tained bow he bad coocealed himself ironi sight, rle bad sooped out a hole large and deep enough to admit his body, and it was impossible to see hi ui nntil those in search came directly upon him. An ax was procured, and the foundation wall leading into the yard whs broken to admit of the egress of the officers and their prisoner. When they reached the light of day iney lound tnat their capture was a diminntive specimen of manhood.

scarcely over five feet four inches in heighth, narrow shouldered, and small, thin body. A head of unnatural size. compared with the rest of the body, sat on a thin neck, and it wm magnified by a thick head of wavy gray hair. The first joint of the ring finger of the left nana, which was very small and white, waa missing, i be man was clad in a blue check shirt, brown jean pants and coarse shoes, and had the appear ui ox a tramp. 'The officers, elated at their r.antnre.

Gill hat the bulk of his tools were Btill nder the house, concealed near the chimney, and hinted that he had two companions with him when he entered tbe ventilator.

Thinking that perhaps his confederates were still concealed under the house. Dale and Gorman returned and attain proceeded to burrow under the kitchen. Dale bad meantime procured a revolver and fired a number of sbots with a view to frightening any one that might remain concealed under tbe bouse, but with no other effect than to draw a crowd of nearly two thousand people, who blockaded the streets and sidewalks on Basin, Custom nonse and Rampart streets nntil all traffic was stopped. He found another sack, which contained another coat, but no tools or weapon. Capt.

Gill found it necessary to send a detail of men to disperse tbe crowd of nrint.it Keekers but long atter the bulk of persons had departed clusters of men, women and children could be seen in tb vicinity discussing the attempted robbory and the capture of tbe thief. Miss Flam was greatly excited and somewhat alarmed, as were all the inmates of the bouse. NAUTICAL 0TS. A Resetted Crew Fast Time to Belize, etc. Tbcsiean ship City of Dallas, Capt.

Rralar Menthlv Meetlaa Important Cc manittee Appointed, Etc. The regular monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held last evening, Adam Thomson, Vice President, in the chair. The report of Dr. Holliday. delegate from tne Chamber at the meeting of the i sanitary wouncu ui ni aussisippi ai lev.

waa then read by the Secretary, and on motion of Mr. W. C. the report was indorsed and ordered to be snrevd noon tbe mmntes. Col.

Marshall J. Smith then introduced tbe following resolution, which was unanimously adopted Jie8olred, That there shall be a standing committee ot five members of this Chamber, to be known as tbe "Sauitary Committee," unpointed annually by tbe Piesidenr, to whom shall be referred all matters concerning the sanitary condi tion of this city and environs', and mat ters concerning quarantine and quaran tine regulations. The committee shall make such recom mendations to the Chamber, in regard to tbe above named snmects, as tbey mav deem to the best interests of the health and commerce of the city and State, and shall have the power, through the President, to call special meetings of the Chamber when in i heir judgment the case before tbem requires immediate ac tion, provided such calls be not in con et with the constitution and by laws Thedntvof the Committee ou Ship ping shall be to examine into all reports tnat may be brought to their notice of incompetency from any cause whatever ellicers appointed by redoral. State or municipal authority, whoso employ ment may be of a maritime nature also into all excessive charges that maybe ligations to our port, and all subjects of like nature that may be brought to their uotice. They shall examine into tbe same and report to the Chamber for final action.

Secretary Burwell observed that it was eminently proper for the Chamber of Commerce to adopt such a resolution as the one above, as the matters referred to particularly concerned the commerce of this port, it was time that the great evuoirebateonsmpping should ne abolished. Relative to qnarantine.Mr.Barwell advocated its modification as much as possible, especially so io regard to noa fee ted ports, aud a careful inspection of vessels from foreign ports by health (licers and American consuls prior to their departure for New Orleans. Pumping out the bilge water and a thorough oieansingof the vessel before sailing would do much to prevent the in trod uc i ions of infectiousor contagious diseases. Mr. J.

G. Morey, on behalf of the committee appointed to wait upon tbe Board Health aud advocate a modification of quaiantine against non infected ports, reported progress and asked the discbarge of the committee, as this duty could be better attended to by the above committee. The committee was discharged. Mr. Morey, chairman of the committee ou reception of Gov.

Harley, of British Honduras, submitted the report of the committee, which was adopted and ordered spread upon the minutes. The question having come up in repaid to increasing tbe membership of the Chamber and thus provide additional funds, considerable debate ensued, during which it transpired that tLere were at present two hundred members who were each supposed to con contribute ten dollars per annum. Mr. Fendel Horn observed that this would bring aa annual revenue of two thousand dollars, when the Chair remarked that one thousand dollars per annum was paid for the rent of the Chamber. Mr.

Horn and others expressed the opinion that $85 for each meeting of the Chamber was too expensive, when Mr. Edward Fenner offered the rooms of the Sanitary Association for two years or more at a rent not to exceed 'w per month. It was finally decided by the Chair to endeavcr to obtain a reduction of the tent of the rooms now occupied by tbe Chamber, or to prevail upon Mr. Abrams. the owner ox tne property, to allow the Chamber to withdraw from the lease and remove to otner less expensive quarters.

On motion of Col. Smith, the Chair was anthonzed to appoint a committee ot three irom each branch of business represented in the Chamber, charged with the duty of soliciting additional members from their respective lines of business, the entire committees being empowered to appoint a sub committee to call upon the several Exchanges, anu solicit membership tnererrom. These and the "Sanitary Committee" will be appointed by the Chair at aa early a day aa possible. CHARITY Itecular Itlsntkly Meeting mC the Admin istratsr The Board of Administrators of the Charity.

The ordinances levying the taxes for 1883 will le presented to tbe Counoil at the meeting to night.

There is considerable discussion in the Hall on rbe subject of proposed change in tbe assessment rolis, or rather additions, which it is said can be made. At the joint meeting of the Committee of Finance and Budget, with the Assessors, tbe rolls were duly examined, an tbe views of the Assessors were fully given. Mr. J. C.

Bach, Assessorfor the Sixth Distiict. threw out the suggestion that tbe following objects of taxation might be included in the assessment, as: Instruments, polls and wires of the Western Union Telegraph Company within the corporate limits. The wires, polls and instruments of tbe Telephone Company. Tbe property of the new Lake Borgne Railroad Company. The Crescent Planters' Oil Company, whose chief business office is alleged to be here and not at Gretna.

The Gretna Ginnery and Compress Company domicile here. The Louisiana Mattress Manufacturing Company. The New Orleans Tanning and Ren deiing Company. The Louisiana Warehouse Company. The Maginnis Oil and Soap Company (in part).

Woods's Sectional Dry Dock Company. Baiber Asphalt Paving Company. Louisiana and Paving Company. Mechanics' and Lumbermen's Ei cl'ange shares. The committeemen supplied tbemsel res with considerable data, upon which tbey are working.

One argument against the preparation of a supplemental roll, used by a piominent member of the Council, is that it would have to be exposed for inspection 0 (t a. vs. and be ready after tne tax bills bad been made out, thus necessitating additional bills. Other Aldermen doubt the legality of altering tbe rolls after tliey have been submitted by tbe Assessors. 1 he increase in tbe aggregate assess ment bv a supplemental roll is estimat by ed at $2,000,000, which would add' $20,000 to the city alimony if all collected.

The Grave Inaccuracy Contained la a Recent Associated Press' Dispatch Galveston Not to be the Terminal Point In the Hantlncton System. The following teleirram to the Asso ciated Press, published in yesterday's edition of the Picayune, is reproduced for correction as to facts "Galveston. June 3. It is rumored that the Onlf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad is in active and direct negotiation with tbe management of the South ern Pacific Road for a working arrange ment by which the Gnlf business of the latter line will be concentrated at Galveston. The Morgan steamship line, instead of Laving head waters at Clinton, will focalize at this point.

A line of steamers will be rnu from New York to this port, partly composed of some of the ships now plying to New Orleans, and the fleet now engaged in the trade heie will continue its present work extending along the coast of Mexico, and durine the trading season being so regulated that three trips a month will be made to Vera Cruz. Santa Fe will be opened fully and completely tor Eastern and Western business with the Huntington lines, just aa if it was leased to that interest, and trains west ftom San Francisco and east from New Orleans will go direct to Galveston. It is also said that all negotiations between tbe Santa Fe and Texas Mexican are off Santa Fe having declined the propositions made to them by the Palmer Sullivan parties. This is said to be in accord with the spirit of the arrangements with the Southern Pacific." A representative of the Picaynne yesterday called upon A. C.

Hutchinson. President of the Morgan Railroad and Steamship Company, for the purpose of ascertaining the facts in relation to the above. Mr. Hutchinson said that the entire statement was incorrect. In the first place, the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Kail way is a direct competing line with he Houston Texas Central, which road is a part of the Huntington system aod is amply able to do all this business sought by the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe road.

The statement that trains from San Francisco and east from New Orleans will go direct to Galveston is so improbable as to be preposterous, as from each direction they would be going fifty nines out ot their direct coarse. Aside from this, the Huntington system controls the line from Houston to New Orleans, and hence i9 directly interested in throwing all the business possible over this line, particularly as at New Orleans connection is made with the Hunting ton Line of S'earuahipsfor New York and several foreign lines, while, if this busi ness was taken to laf veston, it would iass into the bands of the Mallorv Line. which is a competing route. Again, tne steamers plying between NVw York and New Orleans are not adapted to the Galveston traie, being of heavy draft Tor tbe ualveston bar. In conclusion, Mr.IIutchinson said that Mr.

Huntington had no interest in tbe Houston Texas Central on the line be tween Houston, New Orleans and New i i'ik. there might be a possibility of bis concentrating bis business at Galveston, iiur a it is. bis interest is to make New Orleans the headquarters.
