. a ID . -
IT was given out yesterday that a new made
grave had been found under the large double
building standing out in the bottoms on the
east side of Washington avenue, about Twen-
ty-ffth street. Suspicious Of foul play were
begotten Of the discovery, but concerning the
murderer, the murdered, time occasion, etc,
all was mystery. A coroner's inquest was
resolved upon, as likely to disclose something,
IL II did not lead to q solution OF the whole
matter. While this august tribunal was IN
process of formation, the crowd became impa-
tient and pushing Investigations -discovered
that the coffin was nothing more or less than
a box fixed under the floor to hold potatoes
The dirt that formed the finish OF the grave
was thrown against the box to protect Its
contents from freezing Meeting the mayor
on his return, we asked him. very civilly, but
somewhat insihuatingly, where he had been,
and he told us to "go to thunder"
Ever since this house has been vacant boys
have, at intervals, concealed themselves in |
thi, box, and grooming most piteously, created
among passing negroes the firm conviction
that the establishment was haunted. Before
the discovery Of the why's and whersforss,
negro would not have slept under that roof
single night for the wealth Of John Jacob
Astor.

A Noteworthy Achievement.

The repairs on the Great Republic show the
presence among us Of master minds and
skillful mechanics. When that boat was first
launched she fell of the ways, her great
weight breaking them down and her hull was
"hogged" in such manner that she was draw
ing twelve inches more water at bow and
stern than she drew amidships. There being
no ways or docks at Pittsburg of sufficient
strength 10 haul her out of the water again
to remedy this detect, she was finished in
that condition leaving her main deck almost
straight instead ofhaving the graceful curve
so necessary to the perfect symmetry Of hull.
This has no doubt hurt her speed, and given
her that clumsy appearance for which she
has been noted. Capt. w. l.. Hambleton,
proprietor Of the Mound City Marine ways,
has now Strengthened out her hull, so that the
graceful curve is restored, and she looks as
though new hull had been built under her.
Our fellow citizen, J. T. Rennic, furnished
the immense hog chains necessary to
hold the hull in its proper shape, and the Job
altogether is spoken Of Us one deserving the
greatest praise. Capt. Hambleton believes
that tho Republic will now be one mile an
hour faster than ever before.
Mr.. Rennie's success in this case, coupled
with his great skill and excellent appliances
as a machnist, has secured for him the con-
tract for furnishing all the hog chains for the
new boat building by M. Hambleton at Me-
tropolis.

We briefly referred, Oh Wednesday, to
some OF the horrors OF the Cairo calaboose.
but the pen Of Dickens or the pencil OF n
Raphael could not picture all its poisome and
revolving features. II is not to be wondered
A. therefore, that we fell short of tho reality.
The most honous oilenses punishable by
city ordinance do not deserve the punishment
Of confinement in that oathsome place. But
foul and pestilential as it is the Tailor must
live in the second story, subjected 10 all the
odors of tobacco, whisky, filth, putrd sores,
and every component part of the combination
OF smells to which filthy, unwashod, and al
most rotten negroes, drunkards and bawds
can give rise. The present jailor, unwilling
to run his family into the jaws of death, by
an occupancy of the upstairs rooms, is sub
jected to the expense Of renting other quar-.
tiers. His brother is doing battle with the
stnkS Of the place, but will achieve no victory
to boast OF. He has grown prematurely gray.
and we're his powers of endurance not of SUI
perior order, his health would certainly give
way to the bad-smelling nose-offending forces
that are constantly assaling it.
