no reply; but left the pest to the tortures
OF his conscience the same as we leave the
intelligent reader to place his own estimate
upon the value of Justus' information.
"A sallow faced white girl, about
sixteen years of age, regarding domestic !.
service as hard way to exc out living LETT
her place, day before yesterday, and entered
herself as regular inmate of down town
negro bawdy house. One OF our police
men becoming cognizant of the girls pur-
pose, called upon her and made known to
her the certain, miserable, horrible life
before her, should she persist In her deter
mination. He evidently made an impress
sion on the wretched creature, and it is to
be hoped, of an enduring character. She
left the house, and shortly afterwards was
on the hunt for situation
Molly Bailey yet manifests determi-
nation to make Mary Thompson suffer for
firing upon her Sunday, with revolver
She appeared before Squire Robinson, yes
terday, avowedly to cause Mary's arrest for
firing pistol within the corporation but
finally reconsidered her purpose, and re-
turned home without securing the warrant.
II certainly strikes us that a rumpus like
that created by these two women, on Sunday
last, should not be passed over in silence.
1t was disgraceful scene in which two
lives were imperilled, the whole neighbor-
hood was disturbed and many persons were
alarmed, and yet responsibility has attached
to nobody. This is precisely as it ought
not to be.
About twenty years ago Pat Dolan
built out of brlckbats, a little four inch
wall structure adjoining his frame, corner
of Fourth and Washington. The build
ing is now becoming sadly demoralized.
The walls are bullying out-presentlng
convex and concave surfaces on side and
front, and are liable, at any time, to tum-
bic in on the inmates, who consist of a COL
ored woman and her six or seven small
children. During the recent wind storm
the wretched structure reeled like drunk
man, and the woman, regarding tumble
in the light of a certainty, stood with her
children grouped in the door, ready for
plunge for the street, in case of closely
threatened disaster.
james Roblnson's circus with Dan
Rice (for whom all of us have kindly
feeling in the ring, will exhibit in Cairo
to-day. Shows can secure the publication
of very extravagant putfs in advance of
their coming, but the truth generally comes
out il they fail to come up to the promises
made. The following "after-the- show
voluntary" given by the Centralia Demo
crat, is worth a column of atisonant blow
ing: I'VE have no hesitancy in saying that
II is better circus for twenty-five cents
than has visited this city for the past five
years for fifty cents And as the COMPARE
son may not say enough for the Twenty
five Cent Circus, we add that there is prob
ably no better circus on the road in Amer.

Hacks or spring wagons have been
running hither and yon about the city for
some time, offering citizens who feel indis.
posed to walk, a moderately Convenient and
moderately cheap means OF conveyance
from place to place. But hitherto none Of
these hacks have acted upon the suggestion
Of THE BULLETIN and established regular
routes. This is what Mr.. Frank Swoboda
proposes to do. He will provide himself
with three horses and keep his hack CON
stantly on the 60, loaded or empty, along
fixed routes, carrying people to any point
that will not require an abandonment Of
regular trips. People will thus know what
to rely upon, and not, as now, be compelled
to devote nearly as much time in hunting
up the hack as would be required to per
form the proposed journey on foot.
-JohE Pickett, the miserable deaf and
dumb boy, whom nearly all our people
have seen wandering about the streets, was
attacked by burly negro at the depot
yesterday, and Knocked down three times.
1t was a most cowardy and brutal thing to
do; and one Of the by-standeIs attempted
to effect the rufiian's Arrest, but being with
out arms was unable to take him along"
Sheriff Hodges and officer Shcehan hearing
of the affair, made thorough search for
the negro, extending their hunt to the chap
parcl on the point, but were unable to find
him. When Pickett discovers that he is
spoken to he makes signs with his mouth
as an intimation that he can't talk, In do
ing this he comforts his features most
frightfully. It is barely possible that he
made one of these faces in reply to the ne
