Democrat of that city suggests that an Or
dlnance be passed compelling the mayor
and each of the alderman to walk between
his own and some other mans wife when
ever he walks at all A good, stout single,
vigorously used on the bulge of our city
dads anatomy, is the only thing that will

The woman, who had a visitation from
the Almighty in the Waverly house. of
this city, some time ago-Mrs. Johnson,
the hotel heater, alias Mrs Harris, the
Waverly house saint, is IN the city again
and she is just as much of tartar and
saint and beat and just as red.headed as
she ever was. She arrived here on the Gus
Fowler from Paducah yesterday, alone
entirely alone. She had lett her enamored

the boat, unmovcd by the torrents of salt
water and the words of sanity pleading she
poured forth, refused positively to give
up the trunk because, he said, she hadn't |
paid her fare. The carmine headed woman

ocular Kerosene conflagration darling
rom each eye, she sprang towards hun and
delivered him blow straight from the
boulder into the eye. She had not mis-
aiken her man, the clerk moved-into his
fiice upstairs on the boat, and there, en-
renced behind counters and bOltcd doors,
lie stood firm, but besieged by the furious,
iery.headed amazon who, unable to clutch

With such foul torrent of abuse as

behind she came up the levee, signing for
