A sharper.

About three weeks ago, q gentleman
employed In the Illinois Central expires.
Office purchased coop OF fine, fat tur-
keys, which he placed upon the sidewalk
In front of the office, until he could find
some place TO keep them. While the gen.
tleman was busily engaged in discharg-
ing his duties In the office, John Seniott.
a colored man, passed by, and seeing the
turkeys. he thought II he could get one or
two Of them he could speculate on them,
and accordingly grabbed q couple, which
he sold, and pocketed the money. When
the man who owned the turkeys discov-
cred that some one had made away with
part of them. he informed the police OF
the fact, who went to work to find the
guilty party. After searching for some
time the officers spotted Seniott, whom
they arrested aud took before Judge
Bross, who sent him to Jail. Wednesday
morning Seniott, having served his time
in Jail, was discharged by Tailor Fitz-
gerald, and after thanking the
jailor for the kind treatment he
had received at his hands. took his de-
parture. Seniott went straight from the
Jail to the grocery store Of Mr.. Metcalf.
opposite the court house, and told the
proprietor that Mr.. Fitzgerald had sent
him over to get some groceries for him,
which were given to him, when
he left the store with the goods, which he
sold to another party. Mr.. Metcalf did
not know that he was the victim OF n
thief, until he mentioned the matter
to the jailor, who informed him that he
had not sent anyone after groceries for
him, and that Inc had not seen Scniott
since he had discharged him. Mr.. Met
calf informed Officer Martin how he had
been beaten, who, after looking for Seniott
for some time, found him and again he
was taken before Judge Bross, who, after
hearing the evidence in the case, bound
him over In the sum of five hundred dol
lars, to answer the charge at the next
term of court. Scniott was not able to
find anyone who would go on his bond,
aud was again locked up in the county
Jail for safe keeping.

that he did not have money with which
to procure a bed. The lady, It so hap
pened, wanted n basket of clothes carried
to her washwoman, and told the sufferer
il be would do the errand for her she
would give him money enough to get a
bed for the night. The beggar looked at
her for moment In utter astonishment
and then exclaimed MADAM, | wish
you TO understand that am gentleman,

one" The lady told him in the mildest
tone imaginable that she was always
willing TO help people who were willing
to help themselves, but that such people
n he, who would sooner beg than work,
deserved TO freeze to death. and that If he
didn't vacate the spot where his lazy
bones were resting, she would crack his
scull with the poker. IL is useless to
state that he complied with the request OF
the pugilistic lady without murmur.
We could relate more than one instance Of
the same kind where these lazy good-for-
nothing loafers, who when offered work
become Indignant. There are, Of course, a
great many people in Cairo at the pres
ent time unable to get work, who would
willingly labor. were they given an OPP
portunity, and who deserve TO be helped,
but the majority Of the straeglers who

shiftless vagabonds, who are too lazy to
work and make respectable living. d.
