MANY CITIZENS.
In response to this call, u large number
of citizens assembled at the council
chamber. and during an hour or two
looked at each other. Nobody knew
why the meeting was called; but pres
emily Mr.. +. NJ. Ward, developed into an
organizer, and called Mr.. Livingston
to the chair. Mr.. l.. soon made 1t APP
parent that he had been "cut and dried :"
by proceeding TO make an elaborate argu-
ment IN favor of permitting the Cairo and
st. Louis Railroad company TO
use the new leyce. After he got
through 1t was suggest'd that Mr.. Line.
gar should state the object of the meet
Ing, and Mr.. Oherly moved that he be
invited TO do so. lie made very strong
speech in favor Of his clients, and in
very severe terms denou ced the Cairo
Trustees and the Illinois Central. He
was listened to with much interest. dur
ing an hour and three-quarters. When
he had concluded Mr.. Oberly was In
vted TO address the meeting. Betore4ro.
cecding, he yielded to the chairman, who
was at once orator and member OF the
meeting. to Introduce n resolution that
the Cairo aud st. Louis railroad company
be permitted 10 use the new levee upon
its paying to the city an amount equal to
the amount that has been expended by
the city in its construction, and agreeing
to c'mp!ete 1t within u reasonable time
and maintain 1t for all time to come. Mr..
Oberly then proceeded and made speech
OF about hall IN hour In length. After
he had finished the meeting adjourned
without taking action upon Livingstone
resolution. And thus Mr.. Srarls' effort
to Induce the people OF Cairo to make
themselves ridiculous failed.

with stigma and opprobrium! How she
hangs labels all over him, to testify her
disgust at his existence, and to admon-
ish others to beware of his example
How she loosens all his joints, sends
tremors along the muscles, and bends
forward his frame, as if to bring him
upon all-fours with kindred brutes,
or to degrade him to the reptiles crawl

tenance, as If intent on obliterating ali
traces of her own image, SO that she may
swear that she never made him How
she pours rheum over his eyes, sends
foul spirits to inhabit his breath, and

ScandalOns Lobbying.

The Washington correspondent of the

stories have always been in circulation at
national capitals, in which the principal
actors, or rather actresses, have been
that class of disseminators of mems
money, who were represented In ancient,
history by Aspasia and by Cleopatra,
and in our times by Josie Mansfield and
Mrs. Blackford. But we have lady
here this winter who bids fair to make.
more noise than any of her predecessors,
SO high does she fly her kites, and SO.
certainly does she secure her victims.
Indeed, she boasts that no job measure
can be carried through Congress with
out her approval, for which she demands
handsome contingent royalty on the
expected profits, in addition to re-
tainer in cash. Her influence has often
secured the attendance of a member
when his vote was sure and needed, and
her destinations have been exerted when
it was necessary that an opposition vote
should be absent from the Capitol. She
is not handsome, but her steel-gray eyes
fascinate like those of snake, and her
manners are bewitching. True, she is.
advancing in years, but 9o'6na20orte, she
has genius, tact, thorough contempt
for the conventionalities of society, a
good share of strong, practical common
se1-se, and keen perception OF human
nature. Other women scorn her and
endeavor TO ignore her, but she has her
triumphs over them.
