The question of merging Pulaski ant
Alexander in one county, is being agi
tated, and we find very little opposition
to the scheme. Indeed we do not believ,
there are half dozen property owners

The officers will have to raid the
tramps" again in order to induce them to
leave the city. A few weeks ago, Chief
Goisman and Officers Andy Cain and
Sargent and Constable John Cain spent
several nights in going from place to
place where 1t was known that tramps
were in the habit of rendezyousinp at
night, and notified them that they must
either leave the city or suffer the conse.
quences OF being arrested as Migrants.
The tramps took the officers at their
word, aud in less than forty-eight hours
nine out Of every ten of them had left
the city. But since then a new crowd
have made their appearance, and we sug.
gest to the officers that another round
among them would have a good effect.
and be the means of Kidding the city OF
many Of the suspicious characters that
are to be seen on the streets at almost
any hour OF the day.
Speaking Of the Georgia Minstrels, the
Boston Daily Herald says: "They have
burst on US like an avalanche, and taken
the town by storm. Tie company has
made an immense hit In this city. All
the reserved seats are sold long before
the performances begin, and the house is
filed by fashionable audience--one
rarely seen at q minstrel entertainment.
The rush 10 see them Is unparalleled in
the history Of minstrslsy. The perform.
ances of this band Of real minstrels are
received with the highest enthusiasm.
They tairly overflow with grotesque
humor, which touches sympathetic
chords in the audience. 40,O0O people
attended their four weeks performances
here. 1t seems almost sad to think that
their stay cannot be made longer; they
will be welcome whenever they come
back" This excellent troop will appear
at the atheneum in this city on next
Monday evening, March 5th.
Mrs. Ben James will not feed any more
tramps. No, indeed she won't. She
would see every mothers son OF them
starve first. And she is right, for nine
out OF ten Of them are rascally fellows,
and deserve to starve. But what has set
Mrs. James against feeding tramps is
this: Between three and tour O'Clock on
Thursday afternoon tramp stopped at
her house and asked for something to
eat. Mrs. j. told him that il he would
split some wood tor her she would give
him good meal. Mr.. Tramp went to
the wood pile and worked like a good
fellow while the meal was being prepared
tor him. The meal ready.
MIR. Tramp was called in and he sat
down to the first square meal he had
tackled in month. While the tramp was
eating Mrs. James had occasion to 90 out
Of the room. and she had scarcely turned
her back before the villainous scoundrel
"went through" the sewing stand, and
appropriating pocket-book containing
between thirty and forty dollars, beat
hasty retreat, and has not since bsen
seen or heard of. 1t is supposed he lett
the city by the evening freight train on
the Illinois Central. No more tramps
need apply to Mrs. James for food.
Would-be postmasters are numerous
in Cairo. We understand there are ne
less than four aspirants for the Office OF
postmasters at this place, and each of the
aspirants are quietly obtaining sigma
lures to petitions to be presented to his
excellency Hayes. Col. McKsaig seems
to haye the inside track, however,
and II Hayes carries out his
promises of civil service reform,
it will be a hard matter
to GUST the colonel. Besides, the term
