Our Contrabands, being elated
by the civil rights bill and its effect
in Oscecla, have taken to the study
of the classics at least so We would
infer from = remark made by enc
OF those highly colored individuals,
while under the stimulus OF anger.
Last Saturday, while awaiting our
turn in the Butchers shop, where
we draw our rations for the week,
We heard the following converse
tion carried on in a loud and excit-
ed manner, in the adjoining rcstsu-
rant, kept by a civil Fighter, who
is as black as rar'arlan night:
First voice tell you, George
you jis got to stop comm hyar an
eatin' up my steak you comes hyar
and eats up my grub an never gibs
up cent far it,"
Second volce-"I don't do no
sich d-m thing"
"You duz, and if you don't stop it
Pilputa he'd on you Ajax can't pull
off," Here the voices were dro Tn-
ed in the noisc OF scutlle, and be-
ing wide awake rs TO those sc. roe
articles, locals, we rushed in. Here
we met the owner of voice number
/, with knife and took IN his hsods,
pursued by owner OF voice number
2, who looked as if he hal- been
solsed into pot Of melted laid.
His explanation was to the eject
that dat d-m black niggcr done
scald me wild bilin' pot OF hot coi-
fee. And now his doctor says Ajax
or any other mule cant pull OF The
head he has on him with all his
power. His black highneSs, the
coffee pot man, was grabbed by
MIR. Lovewell, and the town treas
urer was seen next day with some
greenbscks.

Before the era OF Railroads, Cairo had q

merce and navigation. This importance of
position she stiil possesses, but has now the
additional advantage OF being great rail-

converging to and having their termini
there. Among these, coming from the north
are the great Illinois Central Railroad,
which traverses the entire state of Illinois

to its southern limits, and by It's connections
extends into all the great northwestern
grain producing States the Cairo aud VIM
cennes, extending nom Cairo to the City of
Vincennes, in the State OF Indians, where
its connections afford direct railroad COM
munications with all Eastern cities and
the Cairo Il st. Louis Railroad, afiording a
direct railroad communication with the
City OF st. Louis and all the railroads CEN
tering there. The roads coming from the
South are the New Orleans, Jackson and

Railroads, which give direct railroad COIN
municafion with the cities OF Mobile and
New Orleans. and other Southern Atlantic
sea ports, and by connecting road. with all
