/ Oh 1T is evident that Lord Cllin's daugh-
ter and the young man accompanying her
had very stormy time Of it IN theft cefe-
bra,ed voyage across the ferry, although
I wchave mover hud their evidence 20 sup
port il; but if it was near ms lively as the
last trip DER our ferry, made on the even
| ing of the day of the tobacco fair, then we
can see why they never desired to return
| to tell about it, as some malicious bachelor
critics assert. The Ballard county boys
on the voyage Wednesday night made
things sing as they call it. From asmall
scrimmage, started just as the boat backed
out it grew into immense proportions and
involved in free fight everybody on the
boat The soil Of Ballard county, however
when touched by the bclligerents, soothed
their angry passions and brought peace
and mutual forgiveness.
Ellen johnson, lady of color-a
cousin, we believe, of Senator Revels of
Mississippi-has been pursuing quiet
life in our city for several months past.
She has, in that time, become very pro-
ficient in music, particularly in vocal mu-
sic; and, it has been prophsied, that she
might become musician of more than Or
binary ability. But her love Of vocal mu-
sic resulted in her downfall. She could
not restrain herself; and when her rival
Jane Jones, provoked her, she began to
curse her alcng the whole gamut. Tenor,
baritone, bass, soprano, contralto and mez-
zo-soprano oaths flew from her tongue like
sparks from blacksmiths anvil. She
went it with hearty good will, and COM
PEELED the applause of every person who
heard her. Meyers heard her gentle
voice, and cruelty arrested her; and then
Bross fined her S. and costs. What will
Revels do?
Our friend Alba has just had placed
in his neat barber shop screen, upon
which is q representation Of q modern bar
Der, life-size, plying his vocation. We
gazed on it for sometime in doubt, as TO
the style and manner of the painting. At
first we leaned to the opinion from n close
study Of Mark Twain's art criticism, that
the work was after Rembrandt, but
viewing 1t still further, and recalling
to mind lecture on wax
figures by the lamente A.
Ward, We came TO the conclusion that it
was more after-that is to say longer
way after--the sublime ideals of Mr..
vi
at all settled in this opinion; and if any
one can convince us on good authority
Ruskin, tor instance--that it is not after
the manner-long or short-of either the
above named artists, we shall gracefully
succumb. But there is one thing we will
maintain; and that is, if the left arm OF
the standing figure in the painting is based
upon sound knowledge of anatomy then
are the arms we have met with in life mere
nondescrpt, and the sooner they are re-
modelled the better.
1t seems to be the disposition of many
towns in Southern Illinois to give the
cmperance "turn" to the coming Fourth
of July. To this, every good man, not
ing the alarming spread of intemperance
will utter hearty amen. "For, of all tn
