ruption on the part Of those called to the high
duty of working out the practical problem of a
reconstruction in those dsordered and devastated
Commonwealth. But with all these mistakes and
corrupt practices, | saw progress,-slow, but
think sure. Had prophet at the close of the war
predicted that in the short space of ten years
there should happen just what has happened, few
would have believed him. Then, the colored race
| just emancipated, had neither property, homes
| education, nor political nor civil rights. Now,
| though little accustomed to habits of economy
and thrift, IL possesses millions of property, has
hundreds of thousands of children in schools, has
been clothed with civil and political rights, occu.
pies high positions at home, and has representa-
tives in Congress. Then the white race, with in
stitutions, industries and labor disorganized, un
accustomed to toll, disappointed and defeated,
were careless alike of the rights of black men and
of the opinions of their countrymen. Now States,
industries and institutions have been reorganzed,
labor ID becoming more honorable and more uni
versal, the Government is more respected, the old
| flag is loved, and the favorable opinions of the
Northern people more highly appreciated. Much
remains to be done; but beginning has been
made, and hopeful progress has been already Sc
cured There are yet INSCRIPTIONS men who are
seeking to divide society and parties upon the
perilous line of race. Enemies of their country,
of mankind and of God, these reckless men
should receive the sternest condemnation Of the
patriot the philanthropist and the Christian. In

Obituary.

Mr.. James Fleming. whose death we
recorded a few days ago, was born in
Chester county, Pennsylvania. in lslG.
At an early age he entered a grocery
store in the city of Philadelphia, where
he remained until he had attained his
eighteenth year, when he removed to
Pittsburg. After remaining at that place
a short time as agent for the Western
Stage company. he was sent 10 Stuben-
willie, Ohio, to represent the company as
agent at that point, which position ne
held for some time. Ia 1876. in COM
pany with his fither-in-law, Capt. NJ.
T.. Lucas. he built the steamer Jack Taylor,
Mr.. Fleming acting in The capacity Of
clerk, the boat running between Cincin-
natl and Pittsburg, in the express line.
After remaining in the steamboat bust
ne,. for some time. he sold his interest in
the Taylor and started in the grocery bu-
siness at Stubcnyille. lie shortly after
removed to a small town in Peunsylya-
MIA, where he engaged In the boot and

Caroline, the Prisoner.

Levy and Caroline Harris are husband
and wife, though we fear, if all reports
are true, they are not u loving a couple
as they should be, and it seems that Caro-
line did not hold Levy's life at as high a
figure as she should, judging from the
manner In which she endeavored To dis
pose OF him. Caroline has become very
tired of Levy, and the fact that he was
in the best OF health, with no prospect of
his shufiiing of this mortal coil at a very
early date, caused Caroline to 90 about
the house from morning till night in a
most melancholy state Of mind. This
agony she endured with all
the pertinacity of her sex,
until one day last week, when she
became desperate. Caroline came to the
conclusion that she had been bothered
with Levy long enough, SO she went 10 a
drug store, bought a dose of arSenic-i
small dose, only hall an ounc, -Sent
home, cooked meal expressly for the
unsuspecting Levy. emptied the poison
into it, and then in tones that would have
soothed Il Comanche Indian, and smile
upon her beautiful ebony countenance
that would have won the love Of canni-
bal. she told Levy that his dinner was
ready for him. Levy, alas was charmed
to see his Caroline once more her loving
self, and would have eateu every morse
| of that meal then and there, If he had
| thought il would Kill hin
the next minute. He gobbled it down
and when he had finished, rewarded Car
oline with Il kiss, we suppose, and smiled
upon her with a grin like that Of an ALI
gator. After awhile Levy began to fee
strange about the stomach, and told Caro-
line so, but was assured by her that hi
pants were too tight for him. Lev,
remedied this slight difficulty in the usu
al way, but this did not have the desire,
effect, and when he began to swell OH
like an inflated balloon, he began to thin
there was something up for sure. A doc
tor was called, and, after examination
pronounced Levy's ailment cause
from the effects of an overdose {
arsenic. He was pretty sic
for day or two, but after that began t
grow stronger and is now able to wal
about the streets. Levy does not preser
quite AS beautiful personal appearance
now as he did before eating that mea
lie looks as il he had been In one of Wa
Lungs wash tubs for II week. Carolir
was arrested yesterday afternoon by She
in Irwin, aud now that once happ
daughter of Africa languishes Ia Il
county jail.

The Masauerasie.

As we predicted, the Delta City Cornet
Band Masquerade ball at Scheel's hall.
Monday night, was filled to overlooking
with respectable ladies aud gentlemen,
who entered with keen zest into the re-
creations OF the evening. To the meas
ures Of the most delightful music, the
gay throng kept step until twelve o'clock,
when the drawing for an elegant silver
combination castor and fruit stand took
place, which was drawn by a little boy
named Jaeckel. Immediately after the
drawing, supper was announced. to
which the guests responded very crrdita-
bly,. When all had satisfied their appe-
tites with the good things placed before
them, dancing was again begun aud
kept up without interruption until four
O'Clock. when the guest took their leave.
The gentlemanly managers added
much to the enjoyment Of the occasion
by giving their duties such attention as
insured the utmost harmony and
good feeling throughout the entire even
ing. In short, the Delta city ,ornet
Bands masked ball Of January %, 1875,
will long be remembered as one OF the
most enjoyable reunions ever held in
Cairo--the best feeling characterizing it
from beginning to end. The amount Of
money taken for tickets far exceeds the
expectation Of the members of the band.
