The intelligent gentleman who speaks
OF our public schools over the signature OF
A. II. H.. might, with equal justice, have
| extended his compliments to the Thirteenth
street school, under the direct per-
scnal management of Miss Thompson
There is not more pains.taking or success

aged school than hers in Southern Illinois,
The man Glass, although apparently
stoical and Indifferent in his bearing, is
manifcstly subjected to great mental tor
turc. Whether it is the fear of death as
the punishment ofhis great crime, whether
it is remorse or what not, we are unable to
determine. We only know that he is be-
coming cmaciated, and that his nervous
system is torn all to pieces.
John Hogan, the young man charged
with an attempt to kill colored man on
the levec, last March, was tried, yesterday,
and acquitted. The testimony of the col
ored witnesses being confused and contra
dictory, the argument and appeal of Mr..
Linegar were all that was required to give
the young man card of clearance. He
was deeply grateful fellow, and shed tears
freely.
"A black boy and white boy quarrelcd
about a game of marbles they were playing
near the corner of Eighth and Washington,
yesterday, and the black boys anger be-
coming uncomfortable, he whipped out a
blunt bladed pocket knife, and slashed the
white boys scalp most fearfully, To the cir
cumstance that the point Of the knife was
broken offthe white boy owes his escape from
serious, perhaps fatal injury. A boy who
can use knife in this way can scarcely be
too young to be held legally answerable.
Talking about northern atmosphere, lake
breezes, and all that, reminds us that an at,
mosphere more completely attunedto human
enjoyment than that that blessed and revivi
fled the dcnizcns of this sprightly city, yes
terday, was never breathcd by mortal man
With the mercury below eighty and a gen
tie breeze. Just stout enough to rustic the
leaves without raising the dust, the mar
who didn't enjoy "outSide" yesterday
doesn't know luxury when he come:
across it,
Judge Davidge will, we hear take
charge of the estate left by Col. Watkins
deceased. The Colonel was the owner OF
large bodies Of good land in Pulaski
| county, a great deal of which he had wisely
cut up into small farms and leased out for q
term Of years to parties who would clear,
fence and put it under successful cultiva-
ton. AS many of these leases expired
within the last year, the estate owns quite q
number of farms that will, hereafter, yield
very acceptable returns.
Officer Wootcn finding no one who was
willing to assume ownership or inter
est in the sunken barge Perry Thorpe will
commence the removal of the odorous con-
tents to-day. He has barge moored along
side, and will rip open the sacks and empty
the corn and oats into the deep water ON the
outer edge Of the outer barge. If the con
lecture that there are several barrels of
unchanged mess pork in the barge be true
il will not be so difficult to find an owner
for that The wreck will be removed by
the Eckert.
Henry Cheatcm and Walter Edwards,
colorcd men, plead guilty, yesterday, to the
charge Of robbery; and were sentenced to
Imprisonment for one year each in the pen
itcntiary, the last day in solitary confnc-
mcnt. These are the chaps who beat the
Kcntuckian so brutally several weeks ago,
and afterwards held their victim on ms feet
while they went through his pockets and
robbed him Of his money. In consideration
OF the fact that they had been OF service to
the public in spotting cracks, they were
recommended to the courts mercy. Hence
the light punishment.
The boys Of the Delta city fire com.
pany entertain no doubt Of their ability to
beat the alleged drop of the Rough and
Realizes, viz: $50 feet G inches. Without
pretending to any special effort they pro-
pose to gather in twenty-five or thirty men
some Of these fine evenings, and hoist solid
water 1870 feet or more. They believe their
engine good for 200 feet, and think with
their AZ men on the brakes they would
have made the throw on their last trial Inf
