DOsition. Mr.. a., II elecleu, Will nave no
'hobby" to ride; but will be influenced by
an honest desire to promote the interests of
the city, and especially of the citizens
whom he will directly represent. And now,
who newt?
Some time during the winter a father
and son brought in load Of baskets, from
the country, and sold the lot for about $50,
The son took charge of the money and
"being up to snuff" made the rounds Of
the city. He fell in with couple OF very
clever gentlemen who gave him a chance to
double his money in two minutes. It is
needless to add that hewent back to his
father without a nickle of the fifty dollars
There was another load of baskets brought
to town yesterday, and if the owners at.
tempted to double the money they re-
ceived for it, the fact has not yet come to
our knowledge.
Quite number Of young folks, whose
time hangs heavily on their hands, may be
found, now and then, seated on the Ohio
river bank, above the incline, or on the
water craft moored to the shore, catching
fish. With proper bait, beautiful, silver
sided skip-jacks, from six to ten inches in
length, can be tossed out every few minutes
| But as these fish are as full of bones as fine
silk fabric is of wool and warp, the fun
consists in the catching, not in the eating.
Parties who fish with toss and trot lines
catch very fine perch and catfish, but the
catch Is so slow that we can scarcely style
the passtime it affords as either exciting or
entertaining.
The Palucah authorities want a coloyed
man named Luther Lucas, who, until with
in the past few days served in the capacity

search for Lucas, but couldn't find him
Just before the Fisk reached Cairo tn
fugitive made his appearance at thu
clerks offi,e, drew his money, and left the
boat at this city As no reward is offered fo
his apprehension, it is not likely that any
special effort will be put forth to capture
him.
Among the crowd of youngsters tina
daily congegates in the vicinity of Tween
t,eth and Commercial, is negro girl, moi
more than eight or nine years of age, who
soon will be, if she is not now, a perfect
terror to all the children of that locality
She is lank and wirv, and fights with the
fury of tigress, Yesterday she had com.
bat with a white boy, the weapons being
such as could be conveniently found by tho
street side For an interval OF two or three
minutes she kept the air fairly black with
old boots and shoes, stoyewood, brick bats
| and old fruit cans, and three out of every
four of them hit the object aimed at. AT.
ter being hit about seventy-ave times the
boy soughtrefuge in flight, old shoes, clods
and fruit cans bouncing from his back at
almost every step he took, The young pu.
giliste, contemplating the flight, gave way

manner of the defiant rooster tapped her
arms against her sides, and INDUCED in q

and hen house in the neghborhood. There
can be no doubt of the ability of that cir
to fight her way through the world
A full house greeted the Pomeroy troupe
at the A.heneum last night. The new play
Adhondacks, put upon the boards IN Cairo
for the first time, more than met the ex
pectation Of the patrons of the drama
present. The play is old material worked
over in manner that meets the approba
ton of all who witness it, which is much
more than can be said of the average So
ciety play, and the play itself is likely to
outlast any Of that class ever yet place.

in her manner. Her acting in some of tn,
