THE SHAKESPEARE PERFORMANCE

Three hundred and eight years ago to-
| day Shakespeare was born, and it is to-
day just two hundred and fifty-six years
since his death. OF him an eloquent and
discriminating writer says: by the voice
| of the whole civilized world his name is
the first in all literature, in imagination,
III fancy, in knowledge Of man, in wis
| dom, In wit, in humor, in pathos in
strength, in versatility. in felicity of Ian
guage, in the music of his verse, and in
that mysterious power, which fus es all these
separate powers into one and makes them a
single means to a single end, he stands
alone, unapproached and seeming unap-
proachable." To do his name honor is
but to recognize the universal verdict of
cultured men. To celebrate his arniver-
sary is but to express the universal hon.
age. The Shakespeare Club has done a
natural and, therefore, graceful thing in
commencing their sixth series Of summer
performances upon the ''Swan of Avon's"
birghtnight, and in the selection of an
entertainment wholly Shakespearean. Mr..
Ryer, well known to our New Orleans
public as a veteran actor and thorough
artist, has entered the lists to compete, on
this occasion, with those contending for
the prize Of excellence in dramatic COM
position. His practical acquaintance with
the business of the stage must have aided
him materially in the management of his
facile pen. 1t is not his first essay in this
line, and We are justified in entertaining
very pleasureable anticipations concern
ing this last creation of his fancy. The
club, We understand, has spared no ex-
pense in mounting the play, which will
present some novel features and afford
full test Of the ability Of our amateur his
trionics.

While the, Democratic convention was
listening to the wild and reckless speeches
about the ruin of the State and city last
Saturday, the various auctioneers at the
st. Charles, at the Exchange and at the st.
Louis Hotel were telling their audiences
what great advantages were to be obtained
by purchasing real estate in New Orleans.
And the sales were lively, too, and the
prices manifested the confidence of the
people in the value of our ruined property
and in the progress of the city. We rather
trust the auctioneers and their Gus
toners than the hot heads who tell us that
we are ruined.

THE NEW GRAND JURY.
Another Term OF Hard Labor i'm the
Criminal Business Commenced.

The May term of the Criminal Court
opened yesterday, and the following
Grand Jurors were sworn in and charged
| by Judge Flippin: 7. B. NOrment, fore
| man; Ed. Beasley, J. G. Lewis, q. f.
Roots, A. r. Dr0escher, w. L. Radford,
! ]. B. Starks, Mic Malatesta, K. J. B. l..
| Wynn, I. H. Allen, J. SchwOob, B. J.
| Semmes, w. G. Richland. The Judge
told them their duty under the law,
without making any formal charge.
First and foremost, he impressed upon
| them the importance and necessity of
looking into charges of carrying con-
cealed weapons, and then went on to
enumerate the things that are unlawful
Selling liquor on Sunday, miscegenation,
prostitution, keeping houses of prostitu-
ton, persons falsely assuming to act as
officers, persons guilty of extortiOn, per-
sons acting as officers who take fees not
allowed by law (this Offense is indicta-
ble, and persons must be removed from
Office for this crime), gaming, such as
rafting, lotteries, etc. (the constitution
prohibits gaming, and no act of the Leg
islature can make it legal in any shape),
illegal voting, tipping, sale Of weapons
and liquors TO, minors; your duty to look
into the condition and management of
the county Jail and other public build
ings. Persons guilty of nonfeasance,
misfeasance and malfeasance of office
are indictable. Look into the bonds of
all officer; you have access to all county
offices. Many cases viii be brought be-
fore you frivolous in their character; the
Grand Jury ought not to bring in bills,
unless in their opinion the testimony is
probably true. The Attorney General
viii give the Grand Jury all information
necessary.
