about to say ifthe passenger interests of
Cairo were as we'll served as those of Chi
cago, we should have here magnificent

The Delta City boys have their engine
in excellent trim, and are trailing their coat
tails in front of all the other engine houses
in the city, in the hope that a Rough, Hi
bernian or Arab will step on EN-. They

The Golconda Democrat says that it is
rather carly to begin to talk about the CUB.

Illinois is to be reclaimed from the ravages
of the radicals in 1880 it must be done

The candidacy of the Hon. John NJ.
Lansdcn, for seat on the Circuit Bench,
has called out words of uncquivocal approx
all in all parts of the District Although
recognized as Democrat, he has held him
self aloof from party cntanglemcnts, and
devoted himself with much zeal and en-
ergy to the pursuit OF his profession That

Monroe Purcell, adjudgcd insane on
Monday, left the city by the narrow gauge,
yesterday morning, in charge OF special
deputy Sheriff, William H. Schuttcr, duly
booked for the Insane Asylum at Anna.
The coorcd lunatic, st. Roma, also adjudg-
ed insane on Monday, was taken to the
country in the evening, and was pu. on
