On the first Of January an order went
into effect prohibiting the use Of cards 9TH
CIR than the regular postal card for postal
uses. AS many merchants have been in
the habit OF advertising by such means,
the order should be given wide publicity,
to save unnecessary loss. Price lists and
the like will have to be placed in unsealed
envelopes in order to pass through the
mails at the one cent rate.
Six young men-printers by trade
called upon us yesterday in a friendly way.
They were from Langsport, Ind, where
they had been engaged in publishing
patent newspaper sheets, and were on
their way to Memphis, where they will
reopen their business. Being all practical
printers they will do their own work, such
as setting type, editing and printing, and
therefore, will doubtless meet with success.
-Four years ago Mr. Hayes said his
heart bled for the poor colored man Of the
south. AS Garfield has not SAID anything
like that since his election delegation of
southern negroes called on him the other
day to see whether his heart was bleeding
or not. They found him expectorating
claret and were overcome by his powerful
sympathy until they had learned he had
just been to dentist and had a tooth
pulled.
The troupe, now playing In the Athe-
neum, among the best that has visited
our city this season, was greeted by q
good house last night. The play is one of
the most successful ever brought out, and
was enthusiastically received as rendered
by the company. This afternoon the Gal
ley Slave will be repeated at the matinee,
and tonight the whole strength of the com
pany will be brought out III Matrimony, or
high life at Long Branch
An event of some note occurred in
Mound City day before yesterday. 1t was
the wedding of Miss Dora Fair and Mr..
VIM. Biggerstsff, both of Mound City's
best and most respected young people.
The wedding took place at the brides resi-
dence, the ceremony being performed by
Rev. Elias Glasgow. In the evening re-
ception was given to the friends of the
happy couple, which was largely attended
and generally enjoyed. The congratula-
tons tended the young husband and wife
were numerous and hearty.
The temperance people met in their
hall on Tenth street, last night, in very re-
spectacle numbers. and the exercises were
of more than ordinary interest. A Mr..
Brown, recently from Carbonate, enter
tanned the audience with some very pointed
remarks Of local spplcation-his chief
theme being, "what ought to be done"
Miss Jennie Wilson followed Mr.. Brown
with few remarks concerning what had
so far been done by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and what probably
would be done in the near future. She was
listened to with manifest interest by all pres
ent. The exercises closed with songs, etc,
as usual
1t should be borne in mind by our
people that the principle attraction in the
city, next Monday evening, will be the en-
tertainment, given at the Atheneum by the
Cairo Amateur Dramatic and Irish Minis
trel company. Some Of the best talent in
the city will take part IN the performance,
which is a sufficient guarantee that it will
be worth anybody's time and money to sect.
Among the more attractive features of the
performance will be the great drama of
the "Fenian Rising in Ireland in 1867"
The proceeds of the entertainment will be
devoted to the completion of the Loretto
Academy, and hence our citizens should,
and doubtless will, turn out in full force.
Day before yesterday while the steamer
WP. Halliday was loading for the south,
number Of negroes attempted to per-
suade the rousters who were loading the
boat to quit or ask for an increase Of wages.
The mate of the boat, not approving OF this
proceeding, showed one of the fell
lows aside, who was standing
in the way and had become quite demon.
strative and, it is alleged, struck him.
This aroused the ire of the entire gang
who resolved upon his arrest and accord
ingly swore out warrant against him.
He yesterday appeared before Judge
Olmstel and, upon pleading guilty, was
fined five dollars and costs---total eleven
dollars and sixty cents.
