OUR ROUNDABOUT POCKET.
THE REVIVAL.

THE ELNlNA
There was an Immense congregation al
tho meeting ut tho Methodist Church last
night, and more than tho usual interest
was manifest.
SwAMPED.
The African Methodist Church is
surrounded by water--"stands in tho con-
ter of II grand lakeland ye, this state
of affairs does not seem to dampen the
religious ardor of our colorod friends in
the Toast. They pray as loud and sing as
happily rs if there was not drop of
water within thousand miles of their
church
ANTI.TEMrERANCE
AS the time approaches for Madame
Mordaunts anti-tempcrance lecture the in
forest in the subject increases, and it
would not be surprising if the lecture to-
morrow night should SO stir up tho tenn
perance question as to induce the praying
women of Cairo to buckle on tho armor
and eptor tho field with determination
to do something desperate or do in the
attempt. AT least such thing is possible,
and so far ss we are concerned wo have
no objection 20 fights being made, all we
ask is, fair fight, no favors, and may tie
right side win.
A HARD CASE.
Some two or three weeks ago We
mentioned tho fact that little boy named
Forrest Icrrn had had his arm broken
by being thrown from mule in the IL
linois Central stock yards, DR.. Hultz was
called to ser the broken bones, and did
SO; but after few days it WAS found tho
work had been done in su,h n bungling
manner that the child's arm was growing
| IN perfect bow, and with each day it
grew worse. On Monday Drs. Gorden
and Warmer were called TO SEQ tho little
follow, and found it necessary in order TO
straighton the arm to re-break it,
which was dono. Tho operation was
severe ono and must have caused the
child much pain. We understand tho
mother of tho boy intends bringing suit
against Dr. Hultz for malpractice.
ONCE MORE.
The Sun Of last evening published the
following request, which we taho pleasure
in transferring to tho columns of The
BULLETIN. We hope tho ladies to whom
it is addressed will at an early day com.
ply with tho request;
To Messrs. II. Ii. Candee, w. II. Morris,
NJ. Y. Gilbert, and all other participants

AMUSEMENT MATTERS
1t has been long time since tho Athc-
neum was 30 crowded rs II was yesterday
| afternoon at tho matinee given by the
Tom Thumb troupe. Every seat in tho
house was occupied, and standing rpom
was a! a premium. 1t was great curios-
| ity to the three hundred children present
to sec the little people, and they highly en-
| joyed tho performance. IL was not only
curiosity to the little ones, for there were
many grown persons in tho house who
never before seen the troupe, and they
were almost as much gratilied with the en-
tertainment as was tho children. How
ever, there was ono feature Of tho way in
which things were conducted at tho Athe-
noun that WAS anything but plsasan. for
a large portion of those who attended, and
which created great deal of unnecessary
confusion. During Monday and yestor-
day, good many people desired to secure
reserved aeat., but were informed that
there was to be no reserved seats. With
this understanding they went to the Athe-
noun and purchased their tickets but
when once inside the house, 1t was found
