The act of the Paducah Grays, a COM
pany of ex.confederate soldiers, in whiting
the Mound City National cemetery, and
firing a salute over the dust Of the men
they once met face to face on
the battlefield, has not, for a
wonder, been denounced by the
Radical press, as piece of bravado pd
impertinence. Democratic papers speak Of
it as an act that tells, palmer than woro,
that, whatever may be the resentments AMI
bitter recollections of the politicians, b
the minds and hearts of the ex-soldiersbi
the Union and ex-Confederacy, there isre.
spect, forgiveness and forgetfulness. The
haters are not among the soldiers.
An interested party sends us through
the postoflice the following perpl&ing
problem "As there are six young ladies',
and only one young gentleman in the grad.
uatlng class Of the high school, it is per.
fectly natural that there should be Gotten.
ton among the young ladies as to who
shall sit next to him on commencement day
Can't you aid us with suggestion 2" AZ
ter much deliberate reflection, and very
profound cogitation, spread out over Oh IN
terval of twelve hours, we have concluded
that, by general consent, the boy should DC

long straws, The girls yho pull the long
straws must be conceded the privilege Of
sitting on that boys c,at tails. The short
straw girls must-wal, they mustn't.
Some of the Icolored demireps that
promenade the streets in the evening, are
becoming exceedingly impudent and 1ot
unfrequently address themselves most in
solently to white ladies whom they happen
to meet on the highways. Last night near
the corner of Eleventh and Commercial, q
gaily apparelled wench of the type de-
scribed, wearing silk, thick and noisy as
card board, met respectable married
couple, and assailed them, with IF you
doesn't like it how's We gwinc to help yer
sells. It's my dress. l didn't steal ii from
you uns, rcckon!' and then with very
contemptuous toss Of the head, and a swing
of the drapery that exposed a pair Of feet
nearly the size of two fiddle boxes, the i'm
pudent creature proceeded on her way.
The married couple were busily engaged in
conversation, and disn't see the saucy
wench until she was directly abreast of
them.
The walking match of Monday eve.
ming resulted in the disclosure of the fact
that we have pedestrian among us tapa-
bic of really wonderful performances Mr..
Herbert Common and Mr.. Henry f. Brigham
made a match for walk from the Stokes
House, in Mound City 60 the PaAter's
House, in Cairo, and return, distance OF
twelve miles. At 25 minutes past 6,
o'clock on Monday evening, both parties
left the Stokes House. Common arrived at
the Planters House at 10 minutes past !;
and returning, reached the Stokes House It
10 minutes past s, having made tie
10 miles in one hour and IS
minutes our readers will agree s
most extraordinary walking. Mr.. Brgm'n
arrived in Cairo about 30 minutes aftT Mr..
Conner, and finding himself badly ditan,-
ed remained in town all night and returned
to Mound city next morning. We have
the names of parties who will verify the

terly impossibletor the collector and his
assistants to dispose of the business thus
