The order of "Young Masons" (colored)
had barbecue at st. Mary's park last
night. Dancing, refreshments and general
frollicking, together with devouring the lu-
cious meats, made the occasion a very en-
ioyable one for all. The attendance was
quite large, and the several stands did well.
The ice-cream furnished to the guests
at the entertainment given by the Woman 5
club and Library association, and in the
praise of which everybody became enthus-
iastic, was not, as was generally supposed,
"Cbicago cream but from the factory of
Mr.. Phil. Saup, who took especial pains in
its manufacture.
On Wednesday next, at Locust grove,
game of base ball will be played between
the Mound Cityites and Cairo boys. The
supposltion is that the Democratic national
convention at Cincinnati will not adjourn
untilevening of that day,and it is the avow
ed intention of our base-ballists to
eclipse, if possible, the doings of that con-
vention by batting the ball.

rascals to the full extent of the law. All
of which is commendabe.
We will open new lot OF the Quaker
City S100, unlaundried shirt. They are
the best shirt in the United States, for the
money. STUART.

We yesterday had the pleasure OF
looking at Il couple OF oil paintings, the
work OF Mrs G. &. Alvord, which we be-
lieve would not be out Of place in any col
lection of works Of art. These paintings
are copies OF couple Of pictures painted

which are the original and which the copy,
when they are compared with each other.
Yesterday MOI. nng between the hours
of one and two o'clock a fire was visible in
