expected, the freshmen "doctored" the
beer with ipecac. Garfield told the effect
of the "doctored" beer on the sophomores
in poem which he entitled "The Tight
Brigade" The following was the last
stanza Of it:
Bottles to right of them,
Bottles to left Of them,
Bottles behind them
Emptied and sundered.
Returning with roar and YELL

Those that had drank so well,
Drank OF the ipecac

If there is one class OF young ladies in
this city, who are popular and who know
how to make themselves generally agree
able, more than Others, they are those
young ladies who have associated them
selves with the temperance work in this
city. 1t a well known fact that whatever
entertainments they have given have proven
eminently satisfactory to themselves and
to the gentlemen who participated in them.
The last affair of note which was
given by them was the ball on the evening
Of the 9th inst, and although attractions
were held out in Hartman's hall and in the
park, their little social dance--.which had
been gotten up without any pretentions-
eclipsed both of these in point of numbers
and enjoyment. On next Tuesday night
these young ladies will give moonlight ex-
cursion on the "Thrcc States" and since a
string band will be had on board, the ami
nation of youth will overflow spontaneous
ly in harmonious movements---in other
words, dancing will be INDUCED in and tor
all this the participants will be taxed the
simple and Insignificant sum of twenty-five
cents. See the "ad' in our special local
column.
Perhaps no grand jury that ever as
sembled in Cairo has given more general
satisfaction to our people than the one
which yesterday finished its work. 1t is
true that the jury was in session long
time, but the amount OF work it did fully
justified this. We published the names Of
the jurors some time ago, but give place to
them again because there exists general
curiosity at the present time to know who
the gentlemen of the jury were. The follow
ing is the list. First Cairo precinct-Wm.

The greenbackers turned out last night
in full force. They had large procession,
composed chiefly Of coming voters, which
moved down Commercial avenue headed by
DR.. Clark, who bore the torch, and by
juvenile drummer. The crowd was unusu-
ally enthusiastic as they moved along the
streets, and the Doctor must certainly have
felt that he was the champion Of the greatest
party in the country. The procession
marched to their usual rendezvous and after
having been thoroughly organized by the
election of chairman, secretaries, etc, it
proceeded to business. Among numerous
important resolutions and transactions
was INT ClCCtlOu vi ucICSitCS W
nominate a candidate for congress.
Messrs. Matt Fulton, A. Comngs and
another gentleman were appointed as such
delegates 1t was moved and seconded
that the delegates be instructed to vote for
DR.. Clark as a candidate Tor congress.
The doctor, took the compliment coolly,
only waving his hand in appreciation of the
clubs kindness and good sense in select
ing him as their standard bearer. 1t was
Immediately moved and seconded that
DR.. Clark be elected to congress by accla-
nation But the doctor seemed to think
that such course would be unwise in the
present financial condition of the country
and interrupted the hasty action Of the as
sembly when the chair was about to put
the motion by exclaiming, stop. stop!
You can't do that. You can't elect man
to congress by accimation.' After some
further action OF importance and few re-
marks from the several of the orators pres
