THE REASON WHY.

An impertinent youth at Saratoga amused him
self by exhibiting the following lines to some of
the ladies at q hotel:
Men scorn to kes among themselves,
And scarce would kiss brother;
But women want to kiss SO bad,
They kiss and kiss each other.
Whereupon young lady penciled this retort
on the back Of an envelope, and left 1t for the
fools instruction
Men do not kiss among themeelves,
And it's we'll that they refrain;
The bitter dose would vex them 80,
They would never kiss again.
As sometimes on poor woman's lip
Is applied this nauseOus lotion,
We have to kiss among ourselves
As . counteractlng potion.

NEW ORLEANS BULLETIN
NEW ORLEANS, JANUARY 80, 1876.
A PICTURE.

She stood beside the open door,
The evening light, soft, rich, and warm,
Flowing in anreate waves, s.reamed DER
Her pale but glowing form,
Not glowing with auroral hune,
Not with the tint. intensely bright,
Which only dazzle and confuse
With superfluent light;
But like the rich and golden glow
That fills an alabaster vase,
Translucent waves around her How
A soft, mysterious haze.
So have I seen in those grand halls
Which look on Amos ptOried stream
A picture which my soul recalls
like some memorial dream.
AHoly Lady lost in prayer,
With eyes as deep - summers night,
And heavens glory on her hair,
In half suggested Light.
Oh sweet Madonna, bend on me
Again those tender sanity smiles,
That may dream walk with thee
Through dim Cathedral aisles.
Oh sweet Madonna, by tho door,
Like thee, she stood and to the West
Looked out, and streams Of light flowed Ger
Her face, and hair. and breast.
And then. indeed, my soul was faint
With Joy could not understand,
So much she seemed pictured saint
Just from MurIllo's hand.
Not through the corridors Of time
Float forms Of beauty half SO fair
Not all the goddesses sublime
That breathed Olympisn air.
Not sea- born Aphrodite cleaned
In rarer beauty from the wave;
Not Sestian Hero fairer seemed
BY drowned Lenders grave.
Nor sad Oenone wandering
Forlorn on Ida's sunny mount;
Nor she who charmed the Roman King
Beside the Egerian fount.
All these have I, in fancys play,
seen dimly through the mists Of time
Vaguely, like music far away
Expressed in broken rhyme.
But she when a., that afternoon,
She looked into the glowing West,
Seemed perfect music, al in tune,
And perfectly expressed.
And thus she stood beside the door,
The evening light, soft, rich and warm,
Flowing in aureate waves streamed DER
Her pale but glowing form.

Rosebud, dainty and fair to see,
Flower Of all the world to me,
Come this way on your dancing feet
Say, how much do you love me, sweet?
Red little mouth drawn gravely down.
White brow wearing . puzzled frown,
Wise little baby Rose is she,
Trying to measure her love for me.
Il love you all, the day and the night,
All the dark and the sunshine bright,
All the candy in every store,
All the dollars, and more and more,
Over the tops Of the mountains high,
All the world, way up to the sky.

HARHAs CORPUS.

The action of the majority of the House
Judiciary Committee in reporting a reso-
luton refusing to surrender the recusant
witness, KILBoURNEt to the District Court
on writ of habeas corpus, is to be con
dsmned, according to the view we take of
it. and we hope that the resolution will
not be adopted. tsr-..
1t Ia true that such action is sought to
be justified upon the ground that it is a
necessity rendered so by the exigency OF
the case 1t is stated that the witness is
in possession of information, if divulged
that would implicate certain high Re-
publican officials, pcshaps including the
President, in some very disreputable con-
duct, But when brought before an in
vestigating Committee OF Congress he
most positively refuses to testify, and
the House committed him to Jail for con-
tempt. He has sued out writ of habeas
corpus, and Saturday was set for the hear
ing, but owing to the failure Of Congress
to take action upon the report of the
committee the case has been continued
until Tuesday. .....-....
1t is generally conceded that the Dis
trict Judge, who ia bitter partizan, will
release KrLBoURNE, regardless of the
merits of the case. in order to shield his
political friends, and for this reason the
House is unwilling to surrender him and
take the chances of having him sent
back. 1t is an aggravated case, and it
does seem that Congress should have
power to compel its own witnesses to tes-
tify. But on the other hand the writ of
habeas corpus is too sacred to be trifed
with; no branch of the government
having the right to deprive citizen
of the protection thus afforded him
A thousand times better that Kill
BOURNE should be released and the
crowd of criminals whose conviction his
testimony would secure, should escape
than this palladium of our liberty should
be torn down. We felt the terrible
consequences of its suspension during
the war and after it under Republican
administration. military necessity"
apd "protection of the government were
the arguments used by the Rad ical party.
We condemned II then, we condemn it
now and will condemn it as long as we
preserve even the forms ola free govern
ment.

VERY NERVOUS,

A gentleman, who has just returned
from visit to Washington, informs US
that there seems to be general uneasi-
ness and nervous agitation pervading
official circles at the National Capital,
resulting from the startling developments
of fraud brought to light by the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committees. Every
government official seems TO he antici
pating that bis time will come next, and
as-conscience is good coward maker, it
is very reasonable to suppose that but
few of that class are over bold about
this time. Not long since they
could make bold front and
assume an air OF injured innocence when
u tale of scandal was whispered. We
remember that when the doings of the
Credit Mobilier first began to leak out
Senators and Congressman pu. on an air
of offended dignity when it was init
mated that their names might be con-
nected with the great fraud. Yet the
story was told after awhile and then the
people began to realize to what extent
corruption had grown in official life.
But it was only the beginning. Page by

THIS is curious market for produce.
At the same time stores not q hundred

such staples as butter and eggs. The
latter was very abundant in this market

BUTTER was scarce and not to be had
