A WALK ON COMMERCIAL.

OUR PERAMBULATE FROM TWENTIETH
STREET TO FOURTH. ITEMS or ALI
SORTS.
AS we reached the corner of Twentieth
street and Commercial on our stroll in
search for items, yesterday, we concluded
towalk down the avenue to Fourth street,
and lay before our readers this morning,
that which we heard and saw
! AT the corner Of Twentieth we met the
lately married Mr.. NJ. ODonne, with Il
smile on his face as broad and genial as
though he had just witnessed the excellent
performance at Walkers Comique, and with
eyes as bright as-wc!l, as only a happy and
newly married mans can be.
CuNNINGUAM's CUNNING.
We had taken but few steps on our
downward walk when 1t was whispered into
our ears that Cunningham was cunning; he
had caused the government to recognize his
great ability as criminal lawyer; and as a
return for the services by him rendered the
country, had caused the government to offer
him permanent berth on the government
survey tug now at this port
osBoRN's ABSENCE.
A few more steps brought us to one of
our old "stand-by's," namely, Squire Os-
borns office, at which we expected to get
our usual uptown police news, but
the shapely form of the Squire was not lat
home," and We were informed that
probably he was out counting.
Being handsome man, we thought
it likely; but left with heavy heart, think
ing on our way down, how much interest
ing reading our readers would mss by the
Squire's absence.
THE CARMI EXCURSION TRAIN,
had brought to the city, as usual, several
full coaches ofpeople from Carmi and sta
tons hence to that town, and
on our way down 10 Eighth
street We met not less than twenty
five or thirty ofthose who had come on the
train, ready to depart with filed baskets,
and packages and parcels of every size and
description. AS we saw this and recalled
to mind the fact that next Saturdays will
be the last excursion train which will ar
rive in this city, we could not but help
blaming those of our merchants who are
directly interested, for not making an effort
to keep the train running
\ CoLORED MAN CAPTURES COLLINS GIRO
NOMETER.
We had Just taken seat beside Shee-
han, in front of Pyatt's auction store, when
two boys, one about fourteen and the other
in the ncighborhood of nineteen, stepped
up and related to the officer how the younger
of the two had just lost his watch. His
name was Collins ana he had arrived ON the
afternoon accommodation train from Oak
wood. While on the train he had become
"boozy,' he said, and when the train arrived
at Cairo, was "boozicr" than was desirable.
As remedy, tall, slim mulatto thought.
fully suggested bottle OF soda and volun-
tecred his services in getting 1t. He was
babe get it by the young drunkard, and
when it was brought the car contained only
the trio mentioned, twas at the time the
soda was delivered To young Collins that
he was, without the least suspicion, re.
heved of his watch, and ii was not until
several hours later that it was missed.
Officer Sheehan promised to do all in his
power for the fellow, but the probability is
that the watch will not be recovered.
MARY AFTER BoB.
1t appears that Bob Henderson, with the
intent OF doing her bodily injury, did as
saut one Mary Henderson, who is one Of the
cooks Of the Planters house, and also Bobs
wife But it further appears that the
aforesaid Mary, not rclishng the beating,
did, Immediately on receiving the same,
swear out warrant for iIob's arrest But
Bob getting wind Of this did, Immediately
on hearing thereof shake the dust of Cairo
from his feet and "skcdaddlc." Both lady
and gentleman were colored.
HARrNAN'S LADY CLERK,
As we passed lI0rtman's on our way down
we were reminded Of what we already knew,
but came near forgetting. viz: that he will
have, in his new store, when completed,
as clerk, one Of Mound Cty's fair ones,
Miss Howard,
FORTUNATE FLIP,
ltnow Cama 10 our ears that on the corner
Of Sixth, the day before, sixty dollars had
been snatchcd from two men Just in from
the country, by u notorious negro named
