The Cincinnati Commercial (unat-

the State Of Ohio will wheel into the Re
publican ranks in October next with q
rousing majority. If that party is con-
trolled by jud'cious counsels, and is
sagacious in the selection of candidates
and wise in the enunciation OF princi-
Piles. it certainly has fairer prospect of
putting the Democracy in the back
ground again than was anticipated six

For several days past it has been whis-
pered about town that great masquer-
ade ball, the like of which has never be-
fore been seen in Cairo, was to take place
at Scheel's hall on Thursday night. The
hall had been engaged and everything
was in readiness for the wonderful event
to take place. when the proprietor of
the hall, Mr.. Scheel, being informed that
the parties who stood at the head of the
proposed event were to be found in the
persons of the bosses OF the "soilcd
doves" Of the city, put his foot down and
swOre his hall should not be rented to
them, so the little affair has collapsed.
The most elegant masquerade costumes,
1t Is said, that have ever been seen In
Cairo, had been engaged from Chicago
firm at an enormous price.

took the negro In charge, and had got
to the corner Of Sixth and Washing

refusing to go any further
with him. Lane argued with him for
several minutes, when Mr.. Jacob Valdez
came up. Lane asked him whether he
had a revolver, seeing that the negro was
determined to get away. Mr.. Valdez re-
piled that he had, when Lane said, "Give

intention Of assaulting him, when Lane
drew the revolver given him by Mr.. Wal

few steps when he turned round exclaim-
ing, "fll fix you yet" Again Lane lev

A Reading Room wanted

MIR. EDITOR:-ln q place situated as
Cairo Is, would 1t not be advisable to
found place of attraction for the young
men OF the city where they can spend
their evenings in profitable manner, so
they VIII not have to seek pleasure in the
gilded saloons Of vice and wickedness
40 not mean to say that the young men
OF this city are more corrupt In morals
than anywhere else; but there is always
a certain class OF men thrown upon the
world, VINO, u they had any encourage
menf, would follow the paths OF moral
ity instead of vice.
Now. think, If Cairo supported a
reading room, 1t would be an ornament
to the city and the means of doing great
deal Of good-a room which would be
thrown open each night In the week,
Sunday excepted. to the public, where
they could pcruse the daily journals and

stitution being fitted up in Cairo by the
"Taylor Literary Society,"" which. with
the assistance of the people of this city,
the members Of that organization hope to
make place of attraction to all who may

ciety, in the building lately occupied by
DIR. Wardner, which. though they will
not be elegantly furnished, will be so
fitted up as to make them very pleasant
for those who may wish to be admitted
as members OF this organization. These
rooms will be stocked with all the leading
periodicals of the day, such as magazines.
newspapers, etc., and such books as the
members of the society will desire to
perusc. With view to raising money
for the purpose Of making these
