again in the house of commons yesterday.
Parnel started out as leader who could

land bill. 1t is necessary for even a popu-
lar leader to exhibit occasionally a little
sense.

remarked gentleman to us Yesterday
evening. "A lady of my acquaintance" he
continued, "ordered, by telephone, two
pounds of lard from her grocer to-day, and

ember from whose pipe caused the calamity.
Besides the magazine many houses IN the
vicinity were destroyed. Over seventy dead
bodies have already been taken from the
ruins,
Some person or persons have made il
habit of late to draw their supply of ink
and writing pens from police headquarters.
Marshal Myers has found it necessary to
replace them several times within the last
week or ten days and feels now that he is
being drawn upon too often Furthermore
he is very particular in the practice OF
charity and would like to know something
about the individual that he j. keeping

Several days ago Mr.. Okum hurry,
who keeps general store at Beech Ridge,
in this county, came to Cairo Oh business.
Durging his absence two men, negroes, en-
tered the store by force and took thereirom
a quantity Of merchandise. When Mr..

accused the negroes of burglary, but
they denied the charge, claimed to have
bought the goods and refused to give them

to swear out warrants for
their arrest, they became furious and a

down. They (the negroes) are confined IN
the county Jail and will probably have a
preliminary examination to-day.
