Peter SimpIr's Guess.

Now ,ha; the public have I;le 90 do,
But read the papers, and write for them too,
sine every one couceives hs has a right,
To write 8 column or 4 page % spite
since every on : writing fr the press,
AMI each one seems entitled O. LIS guess -
Perhaps. without offending those who read,
or r5usinc questions which We should not heed
Perhaps. - 1 am ready 10 redress.

I write no5 on politics " or the tines
No they're not the subjects q my rhymes

Butte this daily personal sighting

And ueavin- out all Official reports

l. Il right that some should be trsskty abused
That the public may be ,eeaklv amused'
Nothing can happen through the business week,
But our critics feel called upon 70 speak
The >msues, thing does no, escape their eyes,
Anything. everything. gets an advertise
Now some one furiously dots his cap,
And gives the post master a savage rap
Another makes a few observations,
Much semoanins the prisoners rstions
He firmly announces it his belief,
That instead Of salmon, they should eat beef
Another, will ruin hns constitution,
BY writing hard on prostitution;
For when poor mani he can't get time TO write,
Hes quoting medical opinions " just for spite;
And. some one lhe should be sued for Hbel)
Writes hard against the Hawaiian bible.

Al last commence on a neiEhhorius church
And then the graveyard mus; he criticised,
For it. like all things, must be advertised.
Truly nothing can escape a mention,
And cen the graves receive this attention.
Mr.. Editor, Ills 4 strange place to live in
And l think 'tgouId be a stranger TO die in.
However, let's drop this miserable guess
For 1t gets worse and worse as We progress
And If aught have over-rated,

There must have been between 200 and go. At the

SHAMEFUL HUMANITY brig -fgate, during
her cruise south, visited Euderbury's Island and took
off one of two white men, who had been stationed on
that island 10y a san Francisco guano company, for the
purpose Of keeping possession of it, but with the IN
derstauding that supplies would be sent them within
six months. They had been on the island nine
months, and when visited were both nearly dead with
scurvy, having had nothing eatable for several weeks.
such reckless conduct on the part Of their employers,
merits public censure, for no good apology can be
given for it, inasmuch ~ suitable food could fire.
Jucntly be sent down from this port.

The GREAT BALLOON TEtP.-We have al
Prof. Lowe, from Cincinnati to South Caro-
lima. The following account of the journey,
the truth Of which is confirmed by the fact
that Lowe had with him Cincinnati papers of
the previous day, is given by the Columbia
South Carolinian ..
He left Cincinnati on Saturday morning, at
4oclock. passed up the valley of the Ohio
river to Virginia, with the intention of land
ing near Petersburg but, after crossing the
Alleghanies, current bore him South, be-
tween this range and the Blue Ridge.
little before o'clock, he came down near
the line between North and South Carolina
but finding himself at too great a distance
from any railroad, he assembled again, and next
came down at Pea Ridge, in Union District. at
O'Clock r. NJ, having thus Travelled, by the
course he pursued, about 1900 miles, in nine
hours. This, we think, is the fastest time yet
made.
From Pea Ridge, Professor Lowe vas con-
veyed to Unionville, where he remained until
yesterday morning, when lie came down TO
this city, with the INTENT of going on i'm
media tely to Washington, but on learning
that there was doubt OF getting through, he
changed his route, and will leave this morn
ing for Louisville, KY, where he has located
his residence. via Augusta and Nashville.
The balloon has a diameter of ~ feet, is Al
yards in circumference, SIS feet from top TO
valve, and will hold 40 900 feet of gas.
The result Of this experimental trip goes to
confirm the belief Of Prof. l.. in the entire
practicAbility Of carrying out his great en-
terpyiss, to which he has devoted so much
time and money, that of crossing the Allan.
tic In q balloon. This he will probably at.
tempt during tho coming summer.

tn. Capture Of the star OF ,he Yves.
APRIL 20. 1891,

The Capture or the Star OF she West.
The New Orleans picayuue, OF the ed In
slant. publishes the following particulars OF
the capture OF the steamship Star Of the
West:
In accordance with instructions from the
Confederate Government, Col. Van Dorm q.
5. A, arrived at Galveston on Tuesday even
ing, the 10th instant, at sunset. for the pur-
pose of making up expedition for tAe Ca p
ture OF the Star OF the West and other steam.
ers, having received full authority from Pre-
sident Davis to take command OF all the Con-
federate forces Of the State OF Texas.
Immediately on his arrival, he communica-
ted his mission 10 General Sherman, who at
once issued an order for a call Of volunteers.
The Wigfail Guards, Capt. James McCirath
were assembled al their armory At the time,
for regular drill, and Immediately offered
their services, numbering forty men, and with
the Island City Rifles, Captain Muller, with
about thirty men, and the Gal Artille-
nv, Captain Van Buren,, they were embark
cd at twelve O'Clock at night on board
the steamer Matagorda. General Sher.
man promised Col. Van Dorm 400 men if he
would wait till the next morning, as he would
telegraph to Houston for the com panies there,
who are ready TO move at moments notice;
but the expedition admitted of no delay, and
by three o'clock A. NJ :, the Matagorda, with
her gallant little band was outside the bar
On the Wigfali Guards leaving their aruo-
~ they We're presented with a beautiful Lone
Star flag by Capt II. q. Bacon. attached 10 a
mounted pike staff.
The Matagorda arrived at Indianoia on the
17th, At 5 p. M :, and disembarked her troops
at Saiuria wharf The steamer Rusk was
coming In At the time from Lavaca, when she
was Immediately signaized and ordered TO
come alongside. The Galveston troops were
Immediately transferred to her, and the Rusk
proceeded down the bay, under command of
Col. Van Dorm, to the anchorage outside,
where the Star of the West was lying. She
was Immediately boarded by the gallant Gal
vestonians, who took possession at once of her
decks. As the men rushed on board, Ensign
Philip Dugan advanced with the Lone Star
flag. The first officer of the Star of the West
demanded to know what flag was that, ana
TO whom he was to surrender. The Ensign
responded in the richest brogue of his native
country, "Bs labers, its the Texas flag on an
Irish jack. staff and ye must SURRENDER to
the Confederate States OF the best land of
Amerika The Star of the West then struck
her flag, and she became prize TO our Gov
eminent.
At Green Lake, near Indianola were en-
camped $50 u. S. troops, and $50, 900 in specie
belonging to the Paymasters Department,
waiting TO be transported to the Star OF the
West. These troops of the Federal Govern
ment were principally from San Antonio and
the Rio Grande, and their surrender, with the
money, had no doubt by this time been de-
manded and acquiesced H.

Military and Thieving Operations Mt Cairo.
IilinaiS.

The following important information is
published in the Memphis Argus of the 2sd
inst:
Several passengers on the Illinois Central
Road through Cairo to Memphis have in
formed us that they Were accompanied by
eight hundred men, who are now stationed at
Cairo with two car loads of ammunition and
four brass twelve Founders. Four thousand
two hundred men more, and still larger
amount of munitions of war, were to arrive at
the same spot ere daylight this morning.
The first actions of the commanding officer
of this vanguard of eight hundred were to
to guard the bridge over Big Muddy, which is
about eighty miles above Cairo, ON the Illinois
Cen trail Road.
Were Lincoln not known a liar the assem-
blage of troops at Cairo might be taken as
made with a view of simply protecting, not
obstr letting, the free navigation of the Misss
sippi but when we tell our readers that the
very passengers who informed US of the arri-
val OF the troops also state that on all the
lines coming through Illinois and Indiana to
the Ohio river provisions, consigned to
Southern buyers, who have actually paid for
them, are stopped and taken from the train !;
when we recoliect the action of Cincinnati,
and the remarks of the Republican press,
there can be no doubt that these troops are
stationed at Cairo to prevent the passing
south ward of either arms ammunition or pro-
visions.
The stealing of property paid for, and re-
turning it to the seller w no keeps the money
and takes back his goods, is beyond compari-
son the meanest mode of warfare that ever a
people condescended to adopt. Separated as
we now are in feeling and in i'll terest from the
Northern States, We blush with shame to
think that once we were united in bonds of
political unity with men whose idea of honor
able warfare is the stealing of chickens. This
is no exaggeration, for two hundred ceops of
chickens were actually taken from train and
confiscated. They had been paid for.
In the concentration OF troops at Cairo no
danger is threatened to Memphis for it is not
five thousand, nor twice that number who
would venture to disturb us here. Our wo-
men and our children are safer here than they
could possibly be in Louisville or in Cincin-
natl; and in two days our city will be impreg-
nabie. The idea Of starving us by obstructing
the navigation of the Mississippi is silly; and
the attempt to do it will simply result in
practical demonstration of its impossbility.

tn. CArrrRE OF axs. HARssY.-The Balu-
more American, OF Friday, gives the annexed
statement Of the arrest Of Gen. Harvey, u.
s. A.
1t Is learned by the train from the West
which reached here this morning, that the old
military cheftain, whose name heads this
paragraph, was taken prisoner ut Harper's
Ferry by detachment of Virginia troops
about Q! O'Clock this morning. Gen. Harvey
left Wheeling in the train which was under
the charge of Mr.. Phelps, conductor, for the
purpose Of reporting himself at headq uarters,
Washingto ton. Before the train reached Har.
per's Ferry it was stopped, and a number of
troops mounted the platforms, and whilst the
train was moving slowly on the soldiers pass
ed Through the cars, and the General being
pointed out was immediately taken into Gus
toby. lie was In citizens dress and was
treated very eour teously. There is no doubt
that as soon as the Executive of the State il
made acquainted with the fact he will be re-
leased. as was the case of the officer of the
United States Army who was seized 4 few
days since in Richmond.
