IVES Lane writes from Leadville, Col
orado. that he is the owner OF mine that
is worth several hundred thousand dollars,
and has ten men at work digging through
the silver to get down to the gold. He is
willing, however, to pay 95 per cent OF his
wealth to insure the safety of the balance
from the clutches of Leadyille thieves.
Emma Houston hecolored girl charged
with the theft of gold and silver coins
from Capt Hudson, and of whom we spoke
yesterday, had a bad send-off in the world,
and is probably as much an object of pity
as censure. Her father is said to be the
beast who seduced ms eldest daughter, and
who at this time is living an incestuous
life with her in st. Louis.
The people of the Fifth ward are be-
coming clamorous for policeman. They
clam that the taxes they pay and the prop
erty they have exposed to the raids of the
burglar and incepdiary enttle them to at
least one night Waterman. To require a
due share of the time Of the two policemen
assigned to the upper beat, would, it is ar
gued, render the whole uptown service so
inefficient as to make il comparatively
worthless.
A male resident OF the Fifth ward en-
tered complaint against another male resi-
dent, charging the last named with abusive
language and violent and tumultuous con-
duct The last named appeared in court,
plead guilty and paid his fine, Returning
home he sought out the first named,
and, so report hath it, proceeded to dress
him off in a style that was more earnest
than artistic. And now, we suppose,
another fine will be in order.
Johanna Talbot, widow woman with
six small children, was elected from the
house she occupied yesterday; because OF
her inability to pay rent. There may be
those who will deprecate the heartlessnes:
that seems to be involved in the widow!
ejectment; but as the owner of the building
is a poor person and as the widow had oc
cupied it ever since last summer, let onl,
= those throw stones at him who have giyel
more than he has given. II that rule shall
govern there will be no stones thrown. Blu
the poor woman is in sad strait, ans
should be helped at once
Halls American museum will prolonl
its stay in Cairo until Saturday, when j
will positively close, and 90 elsewhere. Tn
til that time all children accompanied BY
their parents will be admitted for five cents
The collection of curiosties Is, as We hay,
before stated, we'll worthy Of the inspec
ton of everybody, whether scholar, scient
st, philosopher, or what not. In the fam
Gus Punch and Judy show there is worl(
of amusement for the children. Nothing
immoral or unchastc in the whole cXhibi
ton; but much that should be seen and
studied by every one who has a love fol
that which is wonderful and mysterious in
nature. General admission only ten cents.

The retention Of Mr.. Wooton as lIcaltl
n officer Of the city, was an exhibition o
n good sense on the part of the Council tina
q deserves hearty commentator. Mr.. Woo
% ten is not vcrsed in diseases, their cause
and cure. nor can he name the gases ant
unhealthy cmanations that are given out b
different animal and vegetable combine
" tons, but he knows what constitutes filth
~ and what condition Of unccanlincss
- likely to breed disease; and knowing thi
- he has the moral courage to compel the n

" Of popularity and may therefore be truste
to perform his duty as he understands i
