Truly, if our Spring has been "rather back
ward in coming forward the saying will by
no means apply to those enterprising spirits
who season after season, regardless of pains or
expense, display in their respective places of
business, "the choicest fabrics of each foreign
mart Already whispers of fashionable
openings" are waited to our ears, and fashions
votaries impatienty await a summons to in
spect the novelties of the season." Only curb
your impotence ye fair daughters of Eve until
the morning of Wednesday, May 9th, and you
will be obliged to confess that "The patient
| waiter is assure1ly no loser" On that day the
spacious show rooms at Nos. and Free St.
Block will once more be thrown open to the
public, and if we may credit zone who knows"
their display this spring bids fair to excel al.
those that have gone before. We are told of
laces, exquisite in texture and design, fashion,
ed into sbawls, mantles and sleeveless sacques,
of fleecy scarfs and snow-fakes in the soft,
white Shetland wool, of sun umbrellas of the
most approved tints whose silver handles are
''such novelty of magnificent white Pals
leys' with their delicate ''pencil borders," and
then those "Kamm-g arten Jackets perfect
loves! every one of them, and for 'suits and
suitings" the shades and shapes and fabric are
simply indiscribable To be thoroughly appre-
ciated they must be seen. All this has been
| revealed to me-in strict confidence-and yet 1
am assured the half has not been told me. We
would advise each one of our lady friends to
| ascertain for herself what further secrets this
treasure house may yet unfold, by paying an
early visit to its obliging and gentlemanly pro-
| prietor who will heartily bid them welcome.

The Crusade Revived.

COLUMBUS, o., April 27.-The crusade mat
tiers have been very quiet for some time till this
morning, and now the old time excitement is
up again. Chas. Wagner, proprietor of an eat
ing and drinking house, advertised grand
opening to-day. proposing to sell several liquors
bearing the names of Crusade water" aud the
names of one or two prominent ladies con meet
ed with the crusade movement. Upon seeing
this advertisement, 20 ladies marched to his
place to-day, and small squad headed by
Mrs. Dessellern, president of the ladies league,
stepped into the store and said they had accept
ed his invitation to free lunch and would like
little Crusade water" Wagner refused to
give or sell then any. They then attempted to
pass into the dining room, when Wagner Or
dered the party from his premises. They re-
fused to leave, saying that he had invited the
public and they had come to get their share of
the good things. Wagner seized several of the
ladies and pushed them out of doors. He then
grabbed Mrs .Dessellern by the arm and pushed
her toward the door and some of the ladies say
he struck her but several men present say he
only pushed her WagnerS wife seized Mrs.
Dessellern by the throat while Wagner COM
menced his work on the other bodies. Men
FROM the outside rnshed in and for time a
war of words and some little scufflng took
place. A posse of police arrived and the
trouble was over for the time A large crowd
congregated and blocked the sidewalk which
was soon cleared by the police who commanded
the ladies' to keep moving They obeyed this
order by walking in procession up and down in
front of Wagners place. The crowd of men
would have dispersed at the suggestion of the
police but Wagner begged them to stay saying
he would bail out of jail any man arrested for
obstructing the sidewalk. Wagners men have
been washing the pavement long time, but
the crown and crusaders are still on duty No
further trouble is anticipated.
The crowd in front of Wagner's restaurant
about o'clock became SO large the police pur-
suaded the ladies to leave the street and they
repaired to the yard connected with the High
street Methodist Church and held prayer meet
ings the balance of the afternoon A warrant
was sworn out against Wagner for assault on
Mrs. Desselem. The case will be heard to-
morrow.

ell, convicted of the murder of his wife, and

late DR.. Wing of Auburn, was murdered and
robbed it is supposed by Samuel Colwell, few
days since near Minneap Ills, MINI. Young
Wing, as we are informed, went out to drive
with the murderer and was knocked d ,wn by
him and robbed and left on the roadside The
blow partially stunned Wing, who recovered
himself sufficiently to walk towards the city,
where he was helped. Wing lived four or five
days, and related the facts in the case identi-
flying the murderer. The amount of which he
was robbed, was but $50 or $40. The murder
ed boy was about 20 years old, and, as we are
informed, left Auburn only few weeks since.
He has mother and sister residing in Au

THE FLOOD.
Damage to the Cotton and Sugar
Crops.
The Suffering Worse than il Has
Been Previously Represented.

| New YORK, April PA Washington des.
patch says that the prominent citizens of the
| southwest now IN Washington represent the
suffering incident to the floods in the Missis-
sippi valley much greater even than it has been
been represented by dispatches from New Or
leans and other points,
OF 100000 acres of aluval lands, capable
OF being planted to cotton and sugar, only
about 10y, 600 are now above water. OF this
area 900 900 acres are cotton lands, but only
about 100000 acres would have been planted
From this an average yield would have been
100000 bales. Should the floods subside by the
hrst OF May half the crop might be raised on
part OF the land. Should the water remain
until the hrst OF June, no crop at all could be
produced. The probabilities are that in any
contingency not more than 100000 bales can
be produced this year on these lands.
Careful estimates fix the amount of sugar
crop now destroyed at 10000 acres, and this
will be a total loss the floods having des-
troyed the last years sprouts as well as the new
cane.
The suffering of the people will not end when
