BILLY WHITES OvERcoAT.-An over
coat hung conveniently nea- the back
door OF 81 large .tore-room, is a tempting
sight to the eye. Of any poor wretch who
has neither tt COS, TO his back nor money
in his pocket. Bat whether it was such mn
Individual or Il deliberate sneakthief who
abstractcl the overcost of Billy White,
making OF with II through the back door
OF White " Grier's store, oil Friday night
last, Is question which Billy is not in
the humor to cons. der. The weather now

Of beauty we'll as comfort, which he

Of Cairo, desire TO make him mayor Of the
city next spring, and that he cannot resist

man who practices upon their superstition
ia order to obtain their money for his pre-
tended supernatural cures and wonderful
charms. But the doctor is counting with.
cut hi. host when he calculates upon
his ability TO take the colored men over
into the Bourbon party. Sumner couldn't
do that, and Copper head Hulse, the bots
man, is not greater than Charles.
