DEsEcE ALTON. The lseth anniversary CT
Washington birth day occurring on Saturday
last, was Detained by certain demagogaes,
self-styled Democrats, in reasonable har-
rangues and savage phillipics, hurled at the
preservers of the country. Their trysting-
place, the Court House, was not orercrcwd-
ed. Although one or two hundred people
were in town they were not much inclined TO
be bore by the speakers who 'do" the ora
tory for the party on every occasion. They
had met to barter aud trade, and talk not to
hear old songs sung. And while the aforesaid
worthless elected their filthy yerbiage and
nauseated those whom respect for party and
veneralon for the memories ofthe day had
brought from their homes, the audience
grew slim and the entire absence of enthusi-
asm melted the features Of the meeting away
into the sicklY, ghastly complexion OF an In
valid. which il really was. So languid and
feeble was the appearance put upon matters
that the rattle Of martial music caused pal

faint hearted The epithe,s of 'bltcher,'

very encouraging and amusing instance Of
the fine feeling developing itself With men
who wear tho livery of Democracy. 1t was
amusing on the part Of the Demlsthencs, and
encouraging to see 9 number rush out aud
one earnestly declare ''they mustn't talk 50
about Grant or he woplh't listen to them!"
To mlks things yet m1rc deplorlble, the
Brass B,nl during the session, dlscolrsal
several splendid airs on tae street FOX their
own amusement and that of the crowd, which
had the effect Of compelling them to h,lloy to

There was not the usual amount of drum

: STREET EDUCATION. There are scores q
little boys, from six to twelve years of age,
who are nightly permitted to roam about the
town until late hour. These lads are ac-
quihng educatlons on the street that will pre-
pare them to fill positions in future years, in
the workhouse or pententiary, If not to end
their career upon the galows. They are apt
scholars, aud little fellows who have not yet
learned the alphabet can roll on. the longest
profane words known in the billingsgate die
tionsry, while obscene language proceeds
from their lips with ilippincy and Familiarity
that would do credit to scholars OF a ripper age
educated In the schools of vice. Night after
night small boys may be seen running at
large on the streets, iUdulging in acts that but
few dream Of They are away from homs
influences, and laying found ltion for evil
that will utterly destroy and root out what
ever good influences may have been thrown
around them. Among these childien we

during the evening hoars The fault is not
10 5o traced to the children, because we know
they are prone TO see evil companions and to
do acts Of which their undeveloped judgments
cannot fully teach them the terrible conse-
quences The fault lies with parents in per-
mitting them to be on the streets at night, in
companionship with the vicious and the vile,
lisa reckless disregard of their high and
holy trust. We ask parents to consider this
Eaat,er-to realiz, that they are responsible
in a great measure for the future conddct OF
their childrcn-and TO exercise their parental

Saturday, says, an individual hailing from
the hills Of Greene county, near the Virginia
line, where it Is sail corn whisky and 'dry
vii wells are the chief commodities, made Il
visi. to the city few days since, on pleasure
excursion, and having 'head for business
cndeavorcd by way way of speculation to de-
fray his expenses. On his way down he pur-
chased quantity ofeggs, which he sold to
MIR. o. Stevens, grocer, on Market alley, near
the Diamond, representing them to be fresh.
Mr. Stevens having too much confidence in
the Greene county mans representations
took one hundred and twenty-six dozen of
eggs at cost Of thirty-two cents dozen,
amounting 10 forty dollars and thirty two
cents. Yesterday morning he opened the
barrel containing the eggs, and upon exa'ni
nation found that they were dad eggs"
Hearing thstEJ. Mitchell the man who had
sold him the eggs was still in the city, he
made Information against him before Alder
man Humbert Charging him with cheating,
BY false petcnse. A warrant was issued, and
Mitchell arrested and akeh to the Alderman's s
ONCE, where he at once dissorged the amour,
received TOT the eggs, paid the eosis, and
started on dog trot forth Brownsville boat.

liable ne willever engage i,,hs egg business
