retire from the busy haunts Of men, two
years, II not longer. OF Kids conviction
and Imprisonment for much longer term
there can be no doubt, as the property he
is confessedly guilty of stealing is worth a
couple OF hundred dolars-besides that
he has already been twice convicted in the
court in which he is now on trial. AL.
though young man he is an old and
very hardened offender.
After midnight, or very early In the a.
m. of yesterday, Nicholas Patrick was
picked up by officers Tyler and Wins, in
the vicinity Of the New York store, a help.
lessly drunken individual. He was disin-
clinod to go, possibly because of the color
line, and bawled, and shrieked and threw
himselfprone upon the ground until he
earned what he didn't receive--a lively
thump on the sconce. He was taken be-
fore Squire Comings, yesterday, and fined
two dollars and costs, for drunkenness.
- Memphis kilograms to DR.. Rauch yes
terday, reported six new cases during the
preceding twenty-four hours. Grave fears
are now entertainc that the dread scourge
will again sweep the city as an epidemic.
Citizens are leaving by every possible con-
veyance. The Memphis, Chattanooga and
Nashville train that went out Friday night,
carried 1900 passengers. Even the aises
of the coaches and the baggage cars were
crammed with panic-strcken people. This
exodus ought to be encouraged. There can
be no epidemic where there is no material
for it to feed upon
About half-past i2 o'clock yesterday
a. m, three young men were abroad up
town, and never felt so dry before, in all
their lives. Reaching the nearest saloon,
they found it closed. They banged the
door, kicked it, threw pebbles at the up
stairs windows and yelled, but all to no
purpose. What to do became matter of
serious import. A bright thought! They'd
yell fire, and they did yell fire. In less
than twenty seconds, men, in shirts and
drawers, rushed to the sidewalks; lights
appeared in all the neighboring windows

dows were heard all around them. They
had raised storm too big to master, and

the leader, the mischievous trio shook the
dust of that locality from their feet with
great suddcness 1t was well for them

held any number Of "mansard roofs" in his
good right hand and three of those roofs he
would have disposed of,sight then and
there.
Very carly yesterday morning the in

Gently been turned out of Jail, visited Eva
Lambean. WI lives with white man. in
shanty near the Falls hotel, and succeeded
in gaining admission into the house. This
accomplished, she at once let herself ont
on one of her tistn rampages, and banged
Eva, right and let, marking and bruising
her quite seriously. Then smashing few
articles Of furniture, and informing Eva
that it was her purpose to fatally disar-
range her breathing apparatus on the first
favorable opportunity, she left the prem
ises. A warrant vas procured tor Sarah's
arrest; but what Of that? She'll 90 to
Jail, come out agun, and repeat the otfense
within twcnty-four hours. In dealing with
her the law is impotent, She won't COM
nit a felony; she won't steal SIS worth of
anything; she won't burn a house or com.
nit burglary Consequently she steers
clear ofthc penitentiNry, and remains with
us-a nuisance and pest that can't be
squc!ched, driven away or abatod.
-Du Quoin has pedestrian III the per-
son Of one John Wallace, WHO offers to
"hoof it" against any man in Southern Hi
nois, any reasonable distance for any rea-
sonablc amount Of money. We are not
fully "matcrializcd" as pedestrians down
this way; but we have no doubt of our
ability to walk Mr. Wallace out of both
breath and money. Only two Of our cit-

One Of them clipped off twelve miles in an
hour and three quarters, which is equva-
lent to SIX and siy.sevenths miles per hour.
The other let himself loose in the park, the
other evening, and walked mile in eight
minutes, which is equivalent to seven and
half miles per hour 1t is only fair to
say that we "haven't the papers" with
which to verify these statements, but we
are not the man, on that account, to ques-
ton their correctness. We can assume,
