CAIRO BAR.
L. r. BCTLER. ESQ

1t can hardly be said that the recent re-
moval Of Mr.. Butler from Cairo, has so
severed his connection from our Bar, that
ho is not a very proper subject Of our bar
sketches, and especially when We consider
the exalted place he has for yean filled in
public estimation, both. ss . scnil emen
and lawyer. lei.
Mr.. Butler had early and superior .ad-
van,agcs for education, and received a
thorough collegiate instruction. After
passing some years in the study and prac-
iice Of law at Little Rock, Arksnsas and
vicinity no removed TO Cairo in 1864. He
entered at once upon the practice Of the
profession, aud in few years became
law partner Of Allen &.webb. Here he
arose rapidly toa truly enviable rank
among lawyers. saa
In 1857 he was the Democratic nominee
for the ofYico Of City Attorney. Most un-
merclfully, II not, indeed, cruelty, did he
defeat his opponon,. In 1870 no was the
candidate Of the party for County Super
in,cndent OF Schools AMI was elected BY a
large majority. I; is his ambition to DO.
come lawyer-a lawyer Of ability and
reputation.
He is now located in the practice a,
Murphysboro, Jackson county, Ills, where
we are not only confident he win be
always pleased TO see his friends, but also
attend to all legal business promptly and
faithfully.
JOHN n. LANsDES, Esq.
Mr.. Lsnsden is y graduate Of the Hi
nois College, Jacksonville, aud also Of the
New York law school, located At Albany.
lie removed TO this city in 1865, entered
upon the practice of his profession as 9
partner OF Judge olney. This partner
ship continued for two years, when Judge
olney was elected Circuit: judge shortly
after he became the law partner Of Judge
o Melveny and remained as such up to
Judge O Melveny's departure for Califor-
nia. Since this period he has practiced
alone, and we are pleased.to note that he
has acquired large and paying business,
Mr.. Lansden is close and thorough stu
dent, and no attorney at our bar goes into
court with cases better prepared and I'M
derstood. Nearly one year ago he was
elected city attorney, which position he
has discharged faithfully and well.

AN EpIrAPH.-A farmer named
Keazle hired fellow who had the
knack of writing poetry to write his
epitaph. He was to give the poet a
dinner and supper for the job. At
ter the first meal he sat down and
began thus:
Wrhere was a man vino died of late
For whom angels did impatient wait,
With outftretchcd arms and wings of
love,
To watt him to the realms above"
Keazle was much pleased with
this, and begged the writer to go on,
but he declined until he had supper.
That furnished, he put on his coat,
and wound up the verse in these
words
"But while they disputed for the
prize,
Still lowering around the lower skies,
In slipped tho devil, like weasel,
And down to hell he kicked old
Keazle."
After which he took to his heels,
aud old Keazle after him with a
horse whip.
