William Law and Ben Johnson are the
names of a pair Of sooty-hued Zulus, who
thumped each other quite soundly Tuesday
night AS an intimation that such carry
ings-on are not tolerated in Cairo, Squire
Comings fined William and Benjamin the
sum of So and Incidental expenses. No
money. Calaboosed.
The United Brotherhood of Friends
a much-named organization among the col
ored men of Cairo--has obtained permits
sion to use St. Mary's park on the 3rd and
10Th days of August. 1t is the purpose
of the members of the Brotherhood to in
vite the public to unite with them and OBJ.
serve the days named, in feasting, speech
making, etc
While Mr. William Sexton was pass.
ing George Stetler's boat, yesterday, the
vicious dog on the boat dashed out, and bit
Sexton quite severely. Very promptly Mr..
S. repaired to Squire Robinson's Office and
swore out "death warrant" against the
dangerous brute. 1t was this same dog
that bit young Thomas, on Monday last.
Before this time the savage beast has been
destroyed.
Now that st. Mary's park is becoming
a popular place of resort, it should be sup,
piled with a permanent pavilion. A close
costly enclosure is not called for. A floor
so by 50 feet, covered by projecting roof,
we'll supported by cheap columns, the
whole surrounded by seats, wonld prove
very acceptable indeed, as well on the oc-
casion of big demonstrations as at other
times.
Warren Wins filed his bond as police
man, yesterday. A better selection could
not have been made from among the colored
men of Caro-. Awaiting himself of op-
portunities that nine out CT every ten colored
men would have thrown away, he learned
to read and write, while serving as janitor
of the public schools and to tit himself for
the position to which he is now promoted.
He will make an honest and conscientious
officer.
With an incompetent pilot, an overload
Of fuel, ETC., the government war steamer
| Wauchusett, managed to stick on a bar
aboue Vicksburg. Relieving herself, the
vessel returned to Vicksburg, from whence
the Captain telegraphcd to Washington ad-
vising an abandonment OF the trip! II
there we're will on board that craft to
come to Cairo, it would not be difficult
matter to find way; but the probabilities
now are that the trip will be abandoned.

Sometime last May one Belle Banks
complained to Squire Comings that col
ored barber, then in the city, had cursed
and villitled her most shamefully. The
barber lett the city, and service was not OBJ
tanned upon him until yesterday. Belle re
cited her story to the Squire, but it was lit
orally ribboned by the barber. The Squire
concluding that Belle had been instigatec
more by spite and resentment than by law
full cause, compelled her to pay the cost o
suit, and sent the barber acquit.
