satisfaction in New Orleans.
New ORLEANS. May 28.-There are many
mutterings OF discomfort at the Developments
in the bribery cases. The apparent spiriting
away of one of the principal witnesses and the
assertion that the law cannot punish bribers of
tales jurors have made a bad impression on the
public mind and may lead to serious trouble
The newspapers are loud IN their warnings
that the temper Of the people will not longer
permit the delay in the publication of the
fountains of justice. The Ne,o Delta says:
New Orleans is not in a mood to be trifed with.
We would greatly deplore a re-enactment of the
scenes Of March IA, but on that day the people
were destroying not individuals, but system,
and they are determined that that system in all
itssotf- shoots and ramifications shall be de-
stroyed by legal and judicial methods if posi-
BILE, but destroyed"

The brilliantly lighted room was taste

sic. Among those present were
Commander and Mrs. Sigsbee, Lieut..

spring shopping.

The windows Of our dry goods and
millinery stores are filed to repletion
with spring and summer goods. aud the
ladies VIII soon be thronging the stores
and examining the new goods. True, ii
is most too early yet, 10 buy summer
clothing; but ifany one thing does delight
the average woman more than another,
it is to shop. She doesn't care so much
to buy, and doesn't spend half as much
money as she is generally credited with
spending. but she just shops" Every
fair day from this on she viii be seen on
our streets arrayed in the best preserv
ed of her winter dresses, and down
town
She walked into the dry goods store
With stately step and proud;
She turned the frills and laces DER.
And pushed aside the crowd.
She asked 10 see some rich brOcade.
Mohairs and grenadines;
She looked at silks Of every shade,
And then at velyeteens;
She sampled jackets blue and red
She tried on nine or ten
And then she tossed her head and said
She guessed she'd call again"
Women have been much criticised for
looking at goods and not buying. and the
poor, patient dry goods clerk has been
much sympathised with because they are
made 10 show goods when a sale is not
made and no purchase contemplated.
Are not these salesladies and salesgentle-
men employed 70 display goodsy
There Is really more labor to the clerk
TO make a sale than not to make one, and
as dry goods clerks have accepted situa-
lions TO show goods, ladies have perfect
right TO ask them 10 attend to their bust
ness. Let the women come TO the stores;
the fresh air Is good for them. They stay
too much at home, and IL they want to
look at goods IL is a very innocent pas
time, and the clerks are employed to wait
on them, whether they buy or not.
