and child, fled from Memphis on the out
break Of the yellow fever there and has
been north ever since. All three Of them
were in Cairo yesterday destitute and de-
pendent upon the already oycrtaXcd charity

couldn't repress feeling Of resentment be-

"amen," for everybody.

of grccnbacks, and although not much
given to the flowing bowl, he got on a
"Dendcr.' From intOXcatiOn to fight
was but step; and, although he had the
will to whip full acre of men, his ability
didn't keep pace with it. In fact, dcmoral-
