L otpers, cut anu bruised, from the town.
The name of the person killed we did not
learn. An old feud is assigned as the
cause Of the fight.
Mrs. Weeden attracted quite large au-
dience on Sunday evening, to listen to her
lecture on Peace, delivered in tho Presby-
terian church. Like all members Of her sect
she prsys and prerches for the Golden Age
that era Of universal peace, when war and
bloodshed shall be unknown; when
all shall be brotberly love and kindness
when human nature - II 10 now con,titut-
cd shall cease to be, and when everything
shall be lovely and the goose hangs high.
Our readers will not forget the festi.
val to be given tonight, in WidowS
Block, on the levee, in aid Of the INDECENT
Of the Perry House. A number Of our
bene violent ladies have undertaken the
management of the affair, and the public
should see TO IL that their efforts are
crowned with success. "Feed the hungry
and clothe the Naked" Is a duty as sadly
neglected as il 10 fully recognized by all
Christians. Ia
The season Of fevers and chills is At
hand, and we advise everybody to use the
celebrated 'HoMs BITTERs," tho greatest
known remedy for the prevention Of
fever and ague ehllls and fever, internit-
tent fevers and al the diseases incident TO
this climate and seAson. tits recommend
ed by the medical faculty everywhere; as
a mild, pleasant aud invisorating tonic.

Mr.. 7. Lewis, With his glngham um.
brella and csrpet.ssck oflegal love Was in
the city yesterday. He 10 afsef ais lato
associates Of the Illinsis Atlas with the
sharpsst points Of the law and IL will not
be denied By those who have had the mis-.
fortune 10 engagsin such = tussls with
him, tha. the sharpest points Of the law
with him, means all law, good, bad and
ndinerent-written and unwritteA With
which this little planet Of ours 10 at present
afflicted.
IA boy was carried out by tho swift
current into the river and lodged against
. tree, near the bank no means Of relief
were devised to save him, and he drowned.
Afterward, one Of those who witnessed his
death thought Of . plan whereby he might
be saved" Because this man failed " put
his plan into execution at tho proper mo-
ment, he 10 10 be called up to the Last Bar
and answer the charge Of murder. This
was the logic, Of one Of our lady lecturers
on Sunday night. How is it for highly
eiovsting and hopeful specimen ofthe doc
trine Of salvationr
We respectfully suggest, as = friend
Of the cause of temperance reform, that
"if God intended . man TO smoke, he
would place chimney behind the back Of
his neck" is . joke worn thread.bare, and
very silly. Flat and Improbable jokes
, and stale platitudes make up the stock o
| half the temperance lecturers in the land
1 1t is no wonder that the best among the
t.. reformers have given up the movement a
bad job-a fat failure. There are II
the organization too many dead weights
=, too many who imagine themselves orators
, who are, really, bores, to speal
plainly. Common sense, and plsil
:, honest talk and facts would do more goo
X in an hour than the senseless utterances Q
an army Of oratorical gabblers would d
o in . generation.
