paIaIs ROyaI.

Among the many changes to take place soon
on the grand boulevard none will be more strik-
ing and more indicative of the good time to come
than the swaying to the breeze the banners of the
grand "Palais Royal" Our enterprising friend
Levy, who has for so many years been the popu-
lar proprietor of the dollar store, No. 1877 Canal
street, seems to have had his faith shaken in re-.
publican institutions and ideas, and is deter
mined, with one fell swoop, to obliterate the
name of dollar store forever. He is making prep
arations for the opening of this elegant and gor.
geous establishment. and nothing will be spared
in making it the most attractive place in the
Southern country. Levy's dollar store is known
throughout the whole South, and as it has been
known for its promptness in filling orders and
the polite attention Of the clerks and the place to
get everything, so will the Palais Royal grow
into popular favor, for we will see in the large
and gilded signs that are to adorn the building
evidences Of q new era, q prosperity which we
have longed for but never expected until the
present time.

WARMED BY MRS. MURPHY
Was officer BILLY Bateman for slanderin,
Females

Was officer Billy Bateman for slandering
Females.
Officer Billy Bateman is the name Of q sancti-
monious dandy who supports post at the corner
Of Basin and Perdido streets, but owing to little
matinee that he was forced to play part in this
morning, he will no doubt change his place of
rendez vous.
1t appears Billy has not very high apprecia-
ton of the weaker sex and labors under the be.
lief that man can say what he pleases about
woman. But no doubt the lesson he received
this morning at the hands of Mrs. Murphy will
force him to change his opinion.
1t is alleged that Billy had made some improper
remarks about Mrs. Murphy and that lady, not
wishing to mix her husband up in the row,
bought cowhide and started out IN search Of
her man.
She found the slandering Billy at the corner
above described and the way she knocked the
dust out of his coat was a caution. This youth,
after taking as much cowhide as he could well
stand, started lakeward with the speed of q quar-
ter horse, and at last reports he vas still going.

THE PANIC IN BULGARIA.

The effect Of war in It's worst phases
Is seen around Tirnova. A London cor
respondent who was there last month
says the strangest and most painful
matter in connection with this brutal
war is that the brunt Of it is really fall
ing on the rural population, and chiefly
on the women. The roads are literally
lined with fugitives, going they know
not where. but flying from the
tsrrors Of friend d,,, and foe s alike
double cause for dread-reprisals and
vengeance from the Bulgarians or the
spear points Of the Cossaeks. who, from
what is heard of their doings north Of
the Balkans, are not likely to be very
agreeable guests on the south. The Bull
garians are being massacred already, SO
that 1t is idle to say their fears are mag
mary. An absolute panic reigns
through the land, and every railway
station is blocked with bullock carts
bringing in fugitives. Every peasant,
every shopkeeper who can get arms
arms himself, and were 1t not q matter
of life and death for these poor people
one could not repress smile at the an
tiquated old weapons they have appa-
rently unearthed and furnished up.
But they are not all armed, for there
are one or two places where the Mos
lens are unarmed and the Bulgarians
all armed. This is the case at jam
boil, while at Karabunar and others
the Moslems alone are armed. Taking
this into consideration, and add
ing another Ingredient for mis-
trust in the shape Of hundreds of
Greeks and Jews, scattered through the
villages and hated equally by both
Moslem and Bulgarian, the causes for
this terror and alarm seem sufficiently
plain. 1t is also painful to see the mag
nificent crops all ready for carting, left
rotting in the fields for hundreds of
miles. The terror Is so great that they
have not the heart to go and gather
them in, besides which every kind of
cart or bullsck wagon is away with fugi-
tiYes.
