1t Is now said that Mr.. Clark, chief en-
gineer Of the Illinois Central railroad,
who was in Cairo on Thursday, was here
on business far different from that of Sc

cate the buildings OF that road, but
what the bject OF his visit was we could
not learn.
Halpey's Weekly. in the last issue gives

which speaks OF the appointment lately
bestowed upon him by President Grant.
Cairo is given in the sketch Of the life of
Mr.. Raum, as his place of residence.

Of that unholy Radical sheet, the Chi.

at rallying the boys on that occasion,

In the item published in the BULLETIN
Of yesterday morning, we omitted the
name OF DR.. Wardner as one of the del
egates who will attend the thirty-nnth
annual convention Of the diocese of H.
linois, from the Church of the Redeemer

jim Orange, who was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff John Sheehan on Thurs
day afternoon, was up before Judge
Bross for trial yesterday. jim, II we are
not mistaken, was arrested on warrant
issued for an insult offered to WE'LL
known and highly esteemed lady of this
city, but he plead hard and promised
that ii he was shown clemency
by the officers this time, he would cast
aside forever his bad habit of getting
drunk, and for this promise charge
Of plain drunk was preferred against
him. and he was allowed to depart after
being fined two dollars and costs.
Sheriff Ham Irwin and Deputy John
made another descent on the old
Flat Top" on Fourth street, between
Commercial and Washington avenues,
early. yesterday morning. This rancho
has become famous among the::darkeys as
a place to carry on gambling on small

And now, because McKeaig failed to
get a big crowd to hear Col. W LEY speak
on Thursday night, he is being censured
by his bretheren. The colonel didn't work
the thing right, but the censurers of the
colonel should not be unkind, They
should remember that Bill Scott was out
Of the city, and without the aid and
OF Bill, the colonel is very weak.
Even Colonel Ben. was not fattered by
his reception, and the manner IN
which his visit PANIED out. Not because
he was very anxious to tell the boys how
his horse came to run away with him in
Arkansas, or to explain away the many
other unkind charges that have been
made against him. but because the very
little crowd that did assemble, exhibited
q very decided lack OF appreciation of
him. 5000. s.s
