CAIRO, Illinois, is haunted by ghost of
bibulous tendencies, who saunters into drink
ing saloons and glares at the bartender with
ghostly eyes through the bottom of tumbler.
While in the flesh he was known as T, P.
Cunningham. One day Cunningham disap-
peared, and that night his body was fished
out of the river. A coroner's jury brought
in verdict of suicide, after which the jurors
adjourned to the nearest saloon for refresh
ment after their arduous labors. just as they
entered the door of the saloon they were hor-
rifed to sec Cunnipgham's ghost in the act
of raising. glass of whiskey to his lips. They
rushed out OF the place, and as soon as they
recovered their composure little, hastened
to the station and took look at the corpse
to assure themselves there was no mistake.
The bravest juror, man OF uncommon cour-
age, then returned 10 the saloon and confront
ed the ghost. The spectre seemed little
ashamed OF his new business, vehemently de-
MED that he was ghost, ami even became
abusive, telling the juror that he considered
him "a cussed fool" The juror was verv
reasonable, even going so far as to offer to
take him to see the corpse-an offer which
the ghost declined with many words of con-
tumely and scorn.

WE observe an extract from red hot rebel
paper copied into the Bangor Wing without
comment. We trust the Wing isn't endors-
ing this sort of thing or even giving coun-
tenance to it by printing it. This is dreadful
for it urges the formation of White Leagues,
the expulsion of carpet-baggers, the slaughter
of negroes, the resistance of the federal gov
Wing that great many of its loyal friends
are interested in this matter, and in our pres
ent "effort to obtain an honest and unequivo-
eating statement" whether or not in giving
that extract from rebel paper, it intended to
endorse it, and thus treacherously unite with
the Bangor Democrat, the Atlanta News and

Mr.. Whig, are you "coquetting with treach-
cry" aye, with rebellion and treason? Don't
consider this impertnenL, Mr.. Wing, for "when
we discover a consort exchanging signals
with the enemy we have right to know the
character and purposes of the craft alongside
of u.s." We want the Wing to understand
that we will not be put off with the cry of
impertinence. We demand for the patriotic
men of the state plain, categorical answer to
this question: care you playing second fiddle
to the Bangor Commercial and the Atlanta
Neacs in melting disorder and rebellion in the
South?' Say, at least, that you published
those extracts through inadvertence so as to
at least relieve your friends OF the thought
that you are going to get a mask and mus
ket and join the Ku-Klux. Mr.. Wing, we
have no "patience" to discuss this matter;
we have made the charge based upon those
extracts, that they are endorsements of the
new rebellion, and if 1--WE fail to construe your

A CORRESPONDENT of the National Re.
publican thinks the government. clerk is not
deserving of the pity which so many journals
bestow upon him. He is employed but six
hours day. He gets his pay regularly at
the end of each month, and is subject 10 no
fear that some unforeseen calamity, as the
failure ola bank Or the collapse of business,
may cut off his monthly allowance. He has
six hours OF the twenty-four that he can pass
in study or; amusement. Every institution
of learning and all the professional schools of
the district time their lectures and conrses of
study to suit his wants. He can ALWAYS
find some employment during his leisure
hours by which he can turn an honest PEN
ny. If he is inclined to and has talent for
journalism there is abundant time and ia
vorable opportunity afforded him. If this
all be true the government clerk is surely not
a very unfortunate man, neither over
worked nor ill-paid, and does not call for
great amount of commiseration. rF4.,tr
