The mania for wax-chewing has seized
upon the coored people. While colored
girl, about sixteen years of age, was drink
ing at the court house pump, yesterday,
another girl, standing in the street, seemed
to grow impatient, and finally addressed
the girl at the pump about as follows;
"Now you cum way fun dar. Yer drink
ing like mule, and | doesn't like dat
water nohow." The girl continuing to
drink, the other fairly screamed at her: cum
way fun dar say, cos dat water'll Spite my
waxw And so it transpired that the speaker
was not solicitous about the we'll being OF
the girl, who seemed to be drinking
enormously; but was afraid that the peculiar
flavor of the water would effect her wax,
which she had loaned to the drinking girl
to chew.
The two ST. Louis detectives here in
search of Printze, the murderer Of Saun-
ders, returned home satisfied they are off
the scent of the murderer altogether. One
OF them, Mr. Stewart, was overcome by
heat, Tuesday evening He was carried
into the St. Charles hotel and the services
of DR.. Parker enlisted. He was soon put
on his feet again, and he and his partner,
Tucker, struck out homeward. The idea of
St. Louis man, who is called npon to en-
dure summers sun that runs the mercury
up above the mark of blood. heat-the idea
Of such man succumbing to the breezy
heat of q Cairo sun seems preposterous.
But, to return to Printze, knowing cor
respondent of the St. Louis Republican de-
clares that the murderer is in Illinois, and
has been for two or three days, within
twenty-five miles of St. Louis.
The forests of Louisiana and Southern
Texas at this time OF year are made vocal
with the bewitching songs of the
mocking-bird or Southern oriole.
This is the most delightful singer
of all American song birds, and
as there is a great demand for them IN the
North, dozens and scores of persons make
large sums of money in the business Of
supplying that demand. On Halliday &
Phillips wharf-boat, yesterday, there were
as many, perhaps, as three hundred and
fifty of these birds, in various stages OF de-
velopment, from the uncouth, pen-feathered
young one, that is always eating, to the ten
year old patriarch that is always singing.
The birds sell at from s. to $40 per pair,
according to their ages and requirements.
In buying the young ones, the unlnitiated
is not always dead sure that he will not
purchase a pair that will furnish him more
eggs than songs. The females don't sing
The dog.catchers were abroad yester-
day, picking up the uncollarcd CANNES in
all parts of the city. Quite number Of
citizens extended the days Of their yelping
pets sportivencss by walking up to the Cap
tain's Office aud complying with the re-
ourements of the law. But the money
paid to prolong the lifetime and enlarge
the liberties Of one dog, seems to have been
used for the purpose of shortening the life
and restricting the privileges Of another.
In other words, the more taxes paid, the
more money in hand to pay dog catchers.
And right here we will take occasion to
express the hope that Marshal La Uue's
showing of dogs caught and slaughtered,
will be such as to give the public assurance
that the nightly chorus Of barks will be
greatly lessened, alike in volume and vari-
ETY., II he can only lop Of from that
chorus the persistent and never ending
piccolo of the tstc and poodle terrier, the
baritone and profundo basso Of the bull
pup and mastif will be rendered toler-
able.
The city council Is manifcstly deter
mined that the Illinois Central railroad
company shall comply with the ordinances
Of the city and respect the decree of the
circuit court, in the matter of occupying
the Ohio Levee with freight cars. The
matter was warmly discussed Tuesday
night, and the motion Of Alderman Wood
ward, that the marshal enfore the ordi-
nances against the company to the letter,
was supported with an earncstness that
betrayed purpose on the part of the
council to temporizc no longer. While it
will undoubtedly look like the imposition
