RETAIL SFoaEs The young men en-
ployed as clerks aud saiesmen in the ret all stores
OF our city, confined at business at least thir
teen hours every day, because Of the fact that la
dies 10 their shopping excursions, call ou them al
late hour of the evening, make them puII down
all their goods me, ely to lock at them and then
ieave them to replace the packages OH the shelves
ny gas light. IL is no uncommon thing for lady
who wishes TO buy bunch Of tape or paper of
pins, to make a salesman show her every dress
pattern on his shelves. and then bid him good eve
ning, without spending much a. dime This

n a TEa hoa -
mind as TO lead to the formation of Early Closing
Associations" and in Richmond, similar associa
tions are much needed. Twelve hours out OF
twenty-fonr is as much as any man should be
steadiiy employed; aud our retail merchants
sell no more by keeping open doors fourteen hours
than they would if they kept open but ten, it
would be wise policy in them to agree upon some
plan for closing doors at such an hour In the eve
ming as would ensure their employees some little
respite from their iabors daring the summer
months. Let some merchant put the ball in mo.
tion and we have no doubt it will be kept rolling
by others, until the desired reformation Is effected
