the Gardner house, anywhere in that city.
Its menu includes quite every substan-
tial and luxury, and that of the best that
can tempt or satisfy the appetite; and the
attentions and courtesies bestowed upon
guests form conspicuous and most graft
fying feature of the most excellent man
agement for which Mr.. Wilcox has become
80 far.faned.
Miss Ella Armstrong, teacher in one of
the rooms OF the high school building,
handsomely and with much cleverness and
cordially, entertained house full of her
pupils, Tuesday night, who called upon her
in body as surprise party" The chill
dren expressed themselves as delighted
with the festive character of the occasion,
and Miss Ella, who is much beloved by her
pupils, could not have felt otherwise than
complimented.
Tile Grant boom has been greatly re-
energzed by that genteman's recent al
legged perils at sea. His reception at Gal
weston was an enthusiastic one, and under
the inspiration Of shouts of welcome his
fervid soul stopped over" in the following
enthusing oral outburst; 81 thank you, |
am glad to get back to my own country;
glad to be in Texas again. Texas is a great
country. 1t is not unknown to me. We
are tired, and thank you for your forbear-
ance and considerations"
The Paducah variety troupe, composed
in part Of people who had previously fig
ured on the boards of the Theatre Comique,
came into the city with burst Of music,
but went out, we are told, with bursted
pocket books. Harry Walker seems to
have what is inelegantly called "the bulge
on the boys"in the variety business in Cairo,
and so long as he maintains, as now,
good show and quiet and good order, he
will be very apt to maintain the field
against all would-be crushers who attempt
an unfriendly competition with him.
The note for publication addressed to
us by mr.. Brown, and delivered by the
hand Of little boy who was utterly ignor-
ant of Mr.. Browns status in the commu-
nifty, is so ambiguous in its construction
that we are unable to determine whether
the party to whom it refers by name, would
feel fattered by its publication, or whether,
with cane in hand and blood in his eye,
he'd hunt US up and give US sound whip
ping Until MIR. Brown" becomes more
explicit, therefore, we feel constrained to
keep his manuscript off our copy hook.
Mrs. George B. Poor of Dongola,
daughter of Squire Osborn, of this city,
who has been sick, nigh unto death, for
two weeks or more, is said to be much bet
ter, and in fair way to recover. Her
mother has been constantly by her bedside
for week or more Dongola is pronounced
healthy locality, and looks singularly free
from disease breeders; but the family of
Capt. Poor has been sorely afflicted with
sickness since he located there, losing dur.
ing the time a very bright and most inter
esting little daughter. His return to Cairo
would raise an effective barrier against
such affections, and we wonder much that
he delays the move so long.
"A meeting of the city council will be
held in the council chamber this evening
The avowed object of the meeting is to
take action upon the bills for several ordi-
nances reported and to be reported |
by the ordinance committee, and to
transact such other general business |
as may be considered OF a pressing charac-
ter And in this connection may we not |
suggest that the aldermen begin TO "teel |

matter, Is danger to which our people

We have, in this city as many as a halt
dozen married men--the fathers of families !
who have the etirontery to insist that they
never, in all their lives, hal sharp verbal
exchange with their wives. One of these,
who is very sure that he never had any oc- I
