EXIT CONSUL CORTE.

The arrival at Washington yesterday
of NJ. Corte, Italian consul at New
Orleans, indicates as the dispatch says,
that Corte will never again represent
King Humbert at New Orleans or any
where else in the United States. AL
though the letter of Mayor Shakes
peare, written Saturday to Governor
Nichols, asking the governor to re-
quest of the Federal government the
recall of Corte's exequatur, has hardly
had time yet to reach the office of the
secretary of state through the regular
ard customary official channels. This
letter shows that Corte during the
March troubles and since has been
guilty OF conduct not only unbecom-
ing to his position, but abso-
lutely dangerous to the safety
Of the people of New Orleans.
But without it the government is al
ready in possession of official informa-
ton sufficient to demand that Corte be
dismissed or recalled
He claimed, some time ago, that i'm
mediately after the lynching of the
Malta men he prevented the Italians
from killing Mayor Shakespeare. So
far as restraining his countrymen is
concerned, it is believed Corte played
the same game as his superiors, Fava
and Rudini, and that he did all he
could to infiame instead of mollify-
ing the passions of the Italian element
in New Orleans.
Mayor Shakespeare very pertinently
and truly makes the point that Corte
boosted he was the depository OF the
criminal secrets of his brethren and
vet refused to inform the authorities
This makes him as criminal as they,
and he has otherwise shown himself
not the proper sort of a person to rep
resent his government in a place like
New Orleans, one of the most impor-
tant and influential centers in the
United States. Corte must go. Mayor
Shakespeare has done well in making
the request he did.

The June number of Fashion and

famous. not only for its magnificent
translations, but for its wonderfully
beautiful poetry. In the Fate of
Derbforgaill," a translation of an Irish
love tale, from MSS. that has seen
$50 years, though the tale itself is over
2OO0 years old, the poetry is of the
highest order. Nor can we refrain

FROM MEXICO.
The Charleston and Esmeralda Lying in the
Acapulco HarbUr-Libel Suit.
Jos. A. SHAKESPEARE,
Mayor of New Orleans.


Acapulco HarbOr-Libel Suit.
CITY OF MEXICO, May 1.-THE gov
eminent has contracted with Gen.
Pedro HenoJosa for opening up large
tracts of land in the state of Nuevo
Leon for colonization.
Finance Minister Dublan is still very
ill.
The treasury department has au-
thorized new bank in Zacatecas.
Ell Universal, newspaper, the only
government organ, which made so far
any mention of the arrival of the Es-
meralda at Acapulco, says that other
Gillian ships are expected. The
Charleston and Esmeralda are an
chored near the entrance to the har-
Dor of Acapulco. The captain of the
Esmeralda says he has nothing to do
with any American ships. He has not
been in any American port and it is not
probable that the American will inter-
fere with him. One of the officers of
the Esmeralda, while in the telegraph
Office. stated laughingly, when asked
as to the probability of a combat, that
the Itata was already out of danger
and with plenty of, coal and provisions
to reach her destination. This has
given rise to report that the Itata
was coaled at sea and continued her
voyage, while the Esmeralda stopped
to throw the Americans off the track.
1t is considered that no conflict is
probable.

THE Courier-Journal says that "a
crisp speaker, not quite so bold as Mr..
Reed, would be acceptable tothe coun
try, should the house choose such a
one. THE STATESMAN has said before
and it now repeats, that a man from
Texas will be the next speaker of the
national house, and when legislative
matters have been ground up in the
mills the people have so wisely build
ed, it is to be hoped better grist will
be furnished than any which has yet
been turned out for Uncle Sans fam
lily use.

WOMEN IMPoLITE.
Reflection Leads to the Conclusion That
There is Something in the Inquiry
and More in the Solution.

Reflection Leads to the Conclusion That
There is Something in the Inquiry
and More in the Solution.
Are women impolite or not? The
question Immediately brings down the
walls of wrath upon the writer's head,
but a little thought leads to the con-
clusion that there is something in the
inquiry. For truth to tell many
women are impolite. They go per
petually primed with wiltering chances.
They steel their faces to a hostile look
and if man in a crowd so much as
dares to accidentally meet their eye he
is at once set down as vulgar. Ii he
accidentally presses against her in

earth by the whitening glance that is
sent into his apologize face. But let
two or three other women get together
on the street and there is where the
world suffers. There are few men
who have not suffered from the whims
of these women, and it is not the ruder
set of women, either. If the unfor-
tunate victim should happen to be
seated in restaurant any where near
a crowd of Ewes daughters
his half hour for dinner will
be completely ruined by the questions
they ask each other and the little in
situations which they throw out
which is even worse than the spoken
comments. Such ladies should re

a woman he is not always thinking OF

she should frown so darkly. Why
should he not look at her? Most wo

man who is not Balzac likes to see a
pretty woman. And in looking at her
he is doubtless filled with constant
regard for women; he does not expect
her to smile at him and would doubt
less think less of her if she did so,
Neither does he expect her to frown
him out of existence. But it is to woman
herself that these women are most i'm

the Charleston should never take the

good wetting down. The rain will do
an immense amount of good, but there
is SOM question yet whether in some
