Mr., Logan Walker, one Of the editors
and pcoprictors of the Holly Springs Miss
Reporter, is in the city. We had u pleasant
cali from him yesterday evening.
The Arabs Ball, Christmas night, Is

There doesn't seem to be much fun in
Uncertainty there is no apparent necessity
for it, but both boys and girls will persist
in walking herailings of the high side
walks. Seeing youngstertumblc from the
railing of the Poplar street sidewalk, above
Division, yesterday and hearing the pierre
ing shrieks he sent up after hitting the
ground, we expected to find youngster
broken all to pieces But spraincd wrist,
face and neck badly scratched by the
stalks OF gymson among which he alighted,
constituted his injuries. The value of this
mishap as 4 warning to other boys, was
shown on the very instant in the conduct of
three other boys, who mounted the identical
railing from which the other boy had fallen,
and pranced along it tat fearful rate, to bring
the other boy in disgrace, perhaps, for
tumb|ing off and hurting himself.
The car hoist of the Illinois Central
railroad in this city is a great dsspoiler Of
the laboring mans rights. 1t performs la
Dor that fifty men would fail to perform.
Through its intervention and the help of five
or six men, from fifty to eighty loaded cars
may be hoisted, and a change Of trucks I'M
der them be effected in twenty -four hours.
To transfer the contents of these cars to
other cars would require the labor of from
forty to fifty men. But before the enthusi-
astic communist cries out "dowr with the
car hoist; bust her." let him Il stop little
while. The freight in those 80 or so cars
would not stand the expense of a hand
transfer, and would not therefore, come
here to be handled. Wherefore, as the men
Of the law are wont to say, even the five or
six men who now work the car hoist, would
be compelled to look somewhere else for
employment.
One man with scoop in hlnd on top of
coal car, another sitting on the railing of
the levcc sidewalk, the conversation be-
tween them was decidedly audible, and we
couldn't have closed our ears to it, had we
felt so disposed. Saith the colored Mer-
curry with the coal-scoop: Twill Thistle

replied the man Of leisure, mot by a Odd
sight" "Well,' quoth the other, hes q
better man than Jack; would make good
mayor, and every body likes him. If he
isn't elected he ought to be-" "Ah! :" Kissed

who wants better mayor than he Isl Good
man and good mayor! The thing doesn't
run together. 1t runs Just contrary
and for that very reason Jack Winters

The balance Of this philosophical passage
was lost amid the rattle of the coal as il
was hustled into the waiting coal cart.
The public, and especially the female
portion Of it, should not forget to remember
that Dan Hartmans new toy emporium will
be open for inspection, on this morn
ing, and, in order that everybody may be
afforded an opportunity to see the prepare
ton he has made for the demands Of the
holidays, the house will he kept open till
midnight; A look through the establish
incnt Thursday, assured Us that he will be
able to accommodate every call that is
likely to be made on him. With the walls
of the large building lined with handsome
chromos, of almost every conceivable sub
ject the center and sides of the room piled
high with wagons, sleighs, slcds, wheelbar-
rows, velocipedes, hobby-horscs, rockers,
toy furniture, etc, and the counters heaped
with miniature figures of men, boys, babies,
birds, beasts, steamboats,, engines, cars; and
toys new, novel, ingenious and wonderful
seeing all these things we wondered where
they would go--what Hartman would do
with them! Such u display of toys--such
provision for the holiday trade, was never
before made in Southern Illinois, ana this
will be the verdict of all. Call around
