A DESCENT on THE HOUSES or ILL
FANF.-Another descent upon these dens
of prostitution was made by our police
last evening We understand that every
house in the city was, more or less be-
siered and the fortresses carried. Some
sixty-two parties being arrested. Every
man and woman they could lay their
hands on being taken TO the police sta
ton. We have every cause to be thank
ful to our police, and the entire commun-
ity will say well done, good and faith
fnl servants" We dare say that no po-
lice in the country having the same
amount Of space 70 watch, have done so
we'll as our own. They have done every
thing in their power to keep peace and
quiet in our city, and We have often won
dercd that they have been able to do SO
much. The position of the police in
these disturbed times IS no easy one, but
an office Of much danger. Their efforts
to remove these dens Of prostitution from
the frequentcd thoroughfares Of the city
are worthy Of the commendation OF
every honest citizen, and will meet with
the appreciation Of every one who loves
the Gair fame Of the city.

For CAIRO AND ST.. LouIs-The first
class passenger steamer Marble City is
the regular packet for st. Louis this
evening at FIVE o'clock She is in charge
Of Captain Tschudi, with Mr.. Lake in the
Office, and offers every accommodation
for shippers and passengers. There is
no better boat CO the river for safety and
comfort.
Boats Leaving Tomorrow.
FoR WHITE RIVER.-The ever punctual
Commercial, in charge of the gallant
Captain W. J. Ashford, leaves as above
at FIVE o'clock tomorrow evening. A
better boat for that stream could not be
had.
Miscellaneous.
We understand that several robberies
were committed on board the City Of
Cairo last night and that several arrests
we're made.
The Webb sisters went up the river
on Saturday last, passenger on the Belle
St. Lonis, to gil an engagement at Evans
vile.
The City Of Cairo broke her doctor as
she was starting out on Saturday last,
but will leave this evening positively.
The Louisville Courier of the 23d says:
The river was about at stand last
evening, with eleven feet nine inches
water in the canal by the mark. During
the previous twenty-four hours it had
risen three inches at the head of the falls,
and nine inches at Portland The
weather has again cleared off, though
cool and frosty in the morning, and we
indulge the hope that old winter is gone,
and spring has at length assumed sway.
On the falls last evening there were
nearly nine feet steamboat water down
the INDIANA chute, and the river still
swelling slowly Il had commenced re
ceding the previous evening.

THEREBY HANGS TALE. We copy
the following extracts from the local
of the Nashville Gazette of different
dates. They explain themselves. The
italics in the first one are our own.
From the Gazette Of the Nth:
"The document being submitted to
the City Attorney, he decided that the
order emanating from the Italian Vice
Consulship was not sufficient authority
for an arrest.
Upon which the Vice-Consul from this
city wrote in very modest terms that he
had not ordered the arrest, but simply
suggested it.
The local of the Gazette of the 23d
answers thus:
alt will be seen that the statement OF
the Vice-Consul fully agrees with our
own. We stated that he suggested an
arrest.
And then proceeds in unbecomlng
terms to have his SAY" Under the cir
cumstances we do not blame the Vice
Consul here for declining any further
correspondence. The two extracts speak
loud enough.

SOMETHING ABOUT STREET-LoUNGERs,
THE SoFTENING INFLUENCE OF WOMAN,
AND Coon ADVICE TO some OF OUR
YouYG MEY.-Editors Public Ledger:
There is no use my telling you like to-
handle the whip savagely. Especially
would | like TO lay it heavily over the
shoulders of those of our young men,
and others, who, forgetting they have
sisters and mothers, take a position
against lamp-post or at the door OF
bar-room, and, after having stared a
young lady full in the face, make such
remarks as the following, apparently
under voice, but loud enough for the
young lady to hear as she is passing:
That's one Of the sweetest young ladies
| ever saw p Beautiful" replies the
other, and then they give a knowing
wink, as much as TO say, "well, we've
made that foolish girl feel good hav mt
we?' am really ashamed to acknowl-
edge it. but / have heard married men
use such representatives, too-who
would have resented such an insult to
their daughters promptly. This, Messrs.
Editors, look upon as the very height
of barbarism. The man who has not a
proper respect for woman is a brute and
should not be tolerated in decent society.
He must have a bad heart, or the soften
ing influence of the gentler sex would
surely make him honor and respect her.
Why, sirs, we read, that in some bar
barous countries, a degree of respect is
shown to females which is worthy OF
being held up for imitation by others
more enlightened, and that would surely
put the blush of shame on the cheek OF
the men / speak Of For instance, so
great and sacred is the respect of the
Bedouin Arab for the fair sex, that the
presence, the voice even Of woman can
arrest the uplfted scimeter charged with
death and bid it fall harmless Whoever

safe if woman takes him under her
protection and the right of pardoning
is so completely established in favor of
the sex, that in some tribes where the
women never appear before men, and in
others where they are not occupied in the
tents, if criminal can escape to their
quarters he is saved The moment he is
near enough to be heard he cries aloud,
Il am under the protection Of the
haremW At these words the women re-
ply, without appearing, Fly from him,
and were he condemned to death by the
highest authority of the tribe, he is par

had better read Chesterfield or they will

The splendid frst-class wholesale house
of H. n. Il J. Hoffheimer 4 Co, No 216
Front street, dealers in groceries and
domestic and foreign liquors, as well as
being extensive commission merchants,

connections with the East enables them
to sell goods at unprecedented low prices
and of the very best quality. This is an
old and popular firm, we'll known
throughout the country for its strict
probity and courteousness to all. They

Isaac Pollock, who is well known in our
community as man of sterling business
qualifications, and for his urbanity and

RAISING THE WIND.-One of those rich
scenes which are too good to be lost, oc-
Cured in our city shortly after the sur
render of Joe ,Johnston's army. As it
has never been told, we give it as we saw
it at the time and vouch for the truth.
About niae o'clock one morning re-
turned rebel soldier was getting shaved
at the barber shop on Jefferson street,
east of the corner of-Second, when a
Federal soldier peered in at the door and
remarked, How are you, Johnny
"Pretty well, Yank, responded the
Southerner, "and how are your o.
firstrate,' said the bluecoat, but i say,
Johnny, do you know that since we've
trapped you, rather like you. You
Johnnies fought well, but we were rather
too copious for you, that's ALL
"Look here, Yank, replied the ex-rebel,
getting out of the BARRIERS chair and APP
proaching the Federal, you're talking
for drink, amt you y You cant soft
soap me, Mr. Yank." ''No, no soft-so?p-
ing, johnny; you rebs are brave boys,
and can whip anything except Yankee.
But if you want t. treat, Id as soon
drink with you now as any other man.
"Well, come along, said the Confeder-
ate, locking arms with his late foe. They
walked across the corner to Hoffhlemer
basement and sat down to one of the
tables, when the grey coat called for the
drinks. The barkeeper protested that he
could not sell liquor to soldiers-the
Conred could have what he wanted, bat
the blue coat could not This made the
latter very indignant and he told the
barkeeper that they were both soldiers.
Yes" said the barkeeper, but we
don't recognize the grey uniform here.
Well" said the ex-reb, " Iank you take
a cigar and I'll take some whiskey, at
the same time giving him a very express
siye and knowing wink After the drinks
and cigars were taken both soldiers
started out. On arriving on the sidewalk
the Southernsr said, Look here, Yank;
| never wore blue coat in my life, nor
do | ever intend TO for pay, but I'll do
anything in the way of friendship so let
us step to the alley yonder, swap coats
and hats, we will then 20 back, you IL
drink whiskey and I'll take cigar
What do you say to thatT "Tll do it, p"
said the blue coat ." but l say, Johnny,
when did. you ever think Of that p
We We learned a good many Of your
Yankee tricks during the war, said
Johnny; but come on Back they
started, having snapped coats, and down
they seated themselves. Barkeeper,
bring some whiskey, said the metamor-
phosed Confed Il told you before,
said the barkeeper, we don't sell liquor
TO soldiers" at is devilish hard, said
tire disguised Confederate, that | should
be denied a drink of whiskey, after
having fought so well for the Union for
the past four years Bring me a cigar,
and give Johnny there some liquor
This was complied with, and after both
parties had got all they wanted they re-
turned to the alley, where they again
resumed their respective uniforms and
laughed heartily over their clever THse TO
raise the wind.

with the performance of Nick Of the

their characters. Tonight the. greatest
bill of the season is offered-the thrilling
drama of NeUer Too Late To Mend,
which will be put on the stage with a

character of atom Robinson, in which
he has gained an enviable reputation
everywhere he has appeared.
