Nine. Rosa Reynoir, No. 9 Chartres street,
received her many friends yesterday, and
as it was "spring opening day" at the es-
tablishment, entertained her visitors with
a very extensive and varied display of the
choicest and most desirable Paris hats and
bonnets, flowers, feathers and other articles
pertaining to the finest millinery. 1t is
useless to say that the affair was q COM
plete success, or that both hearts and
purses were made lighter by the many pur-
chases made and orders given, for all know
that Mime. Reynoir never stands second in

Court Items.

The grand jury of the Superior Criminal
Court concluded their lators yesterday.
and were discharged. The report they pre-
sented to Judge Steele is model to their
successors. There is none of the reiteration
of evils that have existed for years, and
which grand juries are powerless to
remedy, none of the praise of institutions
with which they have no concern, no at
tacks on officials, corporations, Or abuses
nor suggestion of impracticable remedies.
Their work, as all who have watched them
during their term, has been we'll done, and
they leave the court and the public to
Judge how we'll they have performed their
duty by an inspection of that.
