A Rich Scene In the New OrleRl

a Rich Scene In the New Orleans
The New Orleans Piedyt,ae gives au anus
ing account of member Of the New York
Sorosis to establish branch In New Orleans.
A hall was procured near Tivoli circle and
a meeting was called for organization. The
attendance was limited, and only six ladies
Of an uncertain age enlisted in the laudable
enterprise. Aftcr this, of course, refresh
mcnts were to be taken. and the ladies
eyinced no great reluctance In testing the
virtues of the exhllaratlng liquids set before
them.
But their meeting was destined to an uu-
happy conclusion. The room had been for
some time deserted, and the proprietor had
lodged in one corner the debris OF several
broken stoves and an old cupboard or two.
These had been taken possession Of by an
old cat and q growing family Of felines.
Suddenly an animated discussion was In
terrupted by prolonged wall, like an infant
In agony.
"Sister!" exclaimed the President, "did
any one bring babyl"
There was brief silence, and then q
shaking of heads all around.
"We will proceed" said the elderly sister,
welding the baton Of office, and again the
conversation grew animated.
But again the wall, longer and louder than
before.
"Sisters, whom docs the baby belong tot"
sternly demanded the New York sorosis.
"Not mine"
"Not mine"
"I should hardly think it's mlne!"
exclaimed an elderly lady, whose whole life
had been passed In mcdltations on tho per6dy
OF man, T'm thankful pye no such crime on
my conscicnce!'
| 'Is there any married sister among usl"
inq uired the lady.
The youngest Of the number, blue eyed,
meek looking disciple, confessed that she had
been once, but wasn't now. Nevertheless,
she assured them that nothing unfortunate
had resulted in her brief experience, and the
baby wasn't hers.
"We will proceed" and for a time the con-
ccaled feelings were silent.
| But the cat was only outstanding her
strength for more vigorous serenade. 1t
burst at length In screeches thatWould have
riyalled bedlam.
The hall was filed with the dlscordant
sound, and the ladies held their breath with
astonishment. Then followed the short,
quick spit; the feline growls and scree ches
| Of angry cats; the old stoves ratified; the cup
boards shook; the noise grew louder, the
nproar became deafening.
| "Sisters, either the evil one Is among us, or
that baby has got the hydrophobia. Pm
going to ieavel' And the lady dartcd for
the door followed by her disciples. Just as
they reached the head ofthe stairs the uproar
broke out anew, and the cat and her young
scampcred across the floor.
This was the climax Of alright.
Shrek after shrek testified their horror OF
tho situation. Those behind rushed on those
in front, and the whole party rolled down
the steep stairs, and reaching the street, fed
precipitately for their homes, the New YORK
sorosis expressing her sense OF the disturb
ance by the simple ejaculation
'Heayen help usl What baby"
