finale will be, remains for future develop
ment. but of one thing we can speak con-
fidently, that the neighbors on Eighteenth
street are not hankering after any more
double-wifed black-men'
Col Robert Lowery, the temperance
evangelist, was in Paducah the other day.
Having completed a very successful tour
through Southern Illinois and neighboring
sections of Missouri, the Colonel no doubt
feels the need Of few days respite from
labor but they will scarcely be accorded
to him, He had been in Paducah but q
few hours before the papers expressed the
hope that, before leaving, he'd give the
friends of the cause a chance to hear
him, etc. .r
Among our professionals is a gentle
man who would make an annual pilgrimage
to Mecca could he be assured that the
journey would secure to him the possession
of pun, or 'play upon words" little
farther-fetched or more obscure than any
yet in hand. To obtain copy Of the fol-
lowing execrable thing he wrote three let
tiers to Tuscaloosa, Alabama: "A Dresden
man owns an old doe, that was lately caught
butting his head against the bucket as it
swung over the well. This act was referred
to once by poet who wrote
1.-THE old doe can buck it,
That hung In the well F"
One of our country contemporaries
feeling in the vein, got off the following
specimen of irony: "If you want to be free
from all worry and care, if you wish to
have a holiday any time you desire; if you
wish to be loved and respected by the en-
tire community, if you wish to be secure
from personal violence of all kinds, and
make money so fast you cannot count it,
be an editor He might have added, in
genuine soberness, that, if you want to
catch hill for doing what somebody else
had already given you h-l for not doing,
Just shove the editorial Faber for a Cairo
newspaper awhile
The ordinance that authorizes the de-
struction of vicious and dangerous dogs, has
been enforced, recently, several times. The
citizen whose child has been bitten, or whose
own calves have been sampled Oy any ofthe
savage brutes of the city, need hut repair to
one of our justices and make oath to the
facts in the case. The Squire will issue his
death warrant and the Marshal will then
see to it that the obnoxious dog is sent to
the place where the bad dogs ought to 60.
The ordinance is good one, and now that
the virus Of hydrophobia is on the verge of
active development IN all dogs, the biting
animals should be dispatched unhsitatlng-
", and without mercy.
"A correspondent asks for information
concerning the fate of the bill fer law
declaring the intermarriage of first cousins
incestuous and void. 1t is our recollection
that the bill passed the House, and was
sent to the Senate, where it was pigeon
holed and overlooked. AT all events, it
never became law. The measure was
generally favored, however, and butfor the
hurry and furry incident to the closing
days of the session, would have Teen en-
acted into law. First cousins who harbor
the revolving purpose of intermarrnge, will
have two years yet in which tqcousum-
mate that crime against nature. After that
time the impossible barrier of q law will
be found in the way.
The meanest, yet the most lrtful "dab"
at big-tooted women We ever cad, is the
following, by the sinful editoiof the Har-

the other evening, on finding that q man
was following her through he streets, in a
most suspicious and very insulting manner,
she appealed to policeman for protection.
The follower, who was arrested a few mo-
ments latter, explained his suspicious con
duct by showing that the streets were very
muddy, and that he had simply been step
ping in the weman's tracks to keep his feet
dry. The look Of mortal hate the woman
gave the man will haunt him to deaths
