Dick Fitzgerald will bear me out IN IL, that

castically, the very brightest lumlnsry in the

the titblts OF scandal; he don't give us the
gossip Of the church sociable aud prayer

he don't remark upon play.going news he

things he should do. Therefors am angry;

PERSONAL.
To-day (this 10 Saturday. I have been
around the city several times, and have kept
my large ears wide open--as wide ~
young birds mouth when IL wants worm
or politicians when he wants . vote. TO
be candid. did not hear much news, did
not see even one startling event---not even u
fight. Our people don't fight much. They
are quiet souls. There 10 Mr.. McHale, who
looks Ike an angel Of peace, aud all the
other men Of the city are like him in gentle.
nsss and indisposi,ion to get into rows. In
fact, Mac is almost ~ gentle IS Mr.. Hartman,
who 10 patient, long-sufering, and slow to
wrath. II takes Mr.. Hartman almost as long
to get angry a. It has taken the Cairo AMI
st. Louis railroad company to build It's little
tramway, and II you don't believe that's =
long time ask Mr.. Wilson.
Speaking OF Mr.. Wilson remind. me
that the Great Davis, of the bright SUM- il
Of the opinion, AZ he has 70 often remarked,
that he may have something more to say on
this subject on future occasion.
--And-but how IL 1t possible this re-
ference to Mr.. Davis calls to my mind DR..
Dunning, who has lately been properly com.
plimeBted by the masons. Aud now, when
| think OF II, it must be the personal resem-
blsnce Of the doctor and editor that coupled
doctor resorted to house building when all
sensible people had quit. A mao who looks
like Mr.. Davis 10 likely to do all kinds OF
desperate things.
