Coz. PIKE AGAIN.-The Col. has now set
up his Office in Paris, Ky. He may very
properly be styled a newspaper speculator.-
This is about the fourth time he has planted
his staff and thrown out his "Flag" upon the
breeze within the last year. He will perhaps
feel more contented among the "Bourbons'
than anywhere else. We wish him as much
success - Kentucky Democrat deserves.

Douglas instead of Nebraska Bill! The old

ANOTHER PIsTo. DRAwS.-The greatest

many days, took place yesterday on one of our

"Well that's queer" replied red face, "pull

Every locker on's heart jumped to his throat,
for no one doubted but the enraged man
would shoot. Instead of doing SO. however,
he cooled down in moment, PIT away his
pistol and left the boat. The disregard for
danger shown him, merged his anger into as
constituent, and generally speaking, aston
ished men are not dangerous.

Sunday was not very quiet day in Cairo

gers in the place, and nearly all Of 'em drunk.
A double listed chap belonging to that group
became wrothy at some monstrous nothing,
and drew pistol on very quiet citizen Of
the place-swearing the while that he would
shoot his brains out, and thrt he could thrash
any man in the place. No person had any
particular objection TO his mode of talking,
but actions were decidedly excepionuble.

up rather a badly pealed head, and endeavor-

cay, perhaps, that the head and face were his,
aud that the quiet citizen fixed 'em for him.
