main to see.
A stranger has established himself
near the corner Of Eighth and Commercial,
and offers our "blow.hards" an eligible
opportunity to earn little beer money
He has a lung tester, crowned by an Amer
lean flag. Upon the scale of the apparatus
silver quarter is suspended at EOS, which
point is designated as the champion
blow" and the quarter is to be taken by any
individual who equals it. Several years
ago Charley Bombach, then engaged with
Hallidays coal fleet, blew the reservoir of
a like tester entirely out OF the water--an
effort that required the expulsion from the
lungs of about 400 cubic inches of air.
This is a pretty tough story; but it is true
every word of it.
Men who have acquired an appetite for
strong drink will go to almost any extreme,
suffer any kind of personal indignity, even
personal chastisement, if the end shall
bring them the liquid fire that arrests their
awful inward sinking. A man of this
character dropped into down town saloon
the other day, and calling for whisky, filled
the glass brimful, and drank it down. His
great aim was now achieved and he cared
but little what followed. He had no
money, and so informed the barkeeper He
was willing to take kicking-he'd submit
to anything the barkeeper might exact as
an equivalent for the whisky. The bar
keeper eyed him closely, and discovering
that the fellow had beatenhlm out of several
drinks in the same manner, concluded that
he would square the whole account at once ;
so Selling a heavy walking stick he bella
bored the wretched inebrate in manner so
vigorous that great welts or fractured skin
attested to the earnestncss of every blow.
The depraved fellow offered no resistance;
but having squared his account in that sa,
loon his patronage in the future will be be-
slowed elsewhere, where glass of solace
will not cost week of soreness.
The information given by us yesterday
morning concerning the Ullin sensation,
was furnished by a citizen of Cairo who
had returned from that village only the day
before. 1t seems, however that, il the
assurances we received yesterday be true,
the information was, in some particulars,
faulty. We now have it that the dead
child was tishcd from the well by young
man named Al Brown; that It was fully
developed infant, and had been in the
water only few days Mr.. Gunter was
not arrested; but had confessed that the
quilt that covered the body, had been in
use in his family. The coroner's jury had
failed to arrive at any definite conclusion,
other than that the infant
had been Intentionally drowned. AS we
remarked, yesterday, the finding of Mr..
G.'s quilt about the body is e circumstance
that goes far 20 relieve Mr.. G. of any sus-
picion Of completely with the affair. The
sane man who commits such a crime tries
to hide his guilt. To say that Mr.. G.. had
any hand in this ugly affair is equivalent
to saying that he was destitute of ordinary
sense and discretion, or that he was indif-
ferent to exposure. Nobody will assume
either the one or the other.
