to in the above IS Mr., Alex. Leonard, a
practical printer, who has been an en-.
ploye of the News Office since its birth.
The Southern Illinois Medical Assocl.
alton is holding its annual meeting at Du.
Quoin Yesterday was the first day of the
meeting when, according to programme,
Judge G. w. Wall delivered an address OF
welcome to the association, and DR.. Ward
ner delivered lecture. To-day a lecture

The temperance ladies of the state are,
and lately have been, exerting themselves
for the cause at Springfield, where the
legislature is in session. Whether they will
accomplish much with the dignifed legis-
lators is a question that will admit of con-
siderable doubt since they claim that the
condition of Springfield water is such that,
with the best of will, they cannot possibly
'down" it. Hence they are driven to the
adoption of a substitute.
Prof Sanders has finished fine oil
painting which may be seen in his studio.
1t is a picture of the river front of Cairo,
about three by seven feet, and shows the
wharf, the steamers and the buildings on
on the levee, the bank, etc, and, most prom
inent, the new Halliday house, with its
tower, ladies entrance, etc. The picture
is elegant in design and artistic in finish
one that would grace any public hall or
fine Office, in this or any other city.

1.-THE Galley Slave" will, on Friday
and Saturday nights, be produced at the
atheneum, by one of the strongest compa.
MES travelling. The Baltimore American
has the following to say in regard to the
play and the company producing it. "Bart-
ley Campbell's drama, The Galley Slave
drew large crowd to Ford's Opera House
last night. The success of the play else
where and the strong cast that presented it
here, both had their influence in drawing a
full house; but it was the merit of the act
ing that made it so striking success, and
which won it double recalls from the close
of the second act to the final fall of the cur
tain"
Mother Shipton predicted that the
world would come to an end in 1881. Not
content with this, some fellow has predict
ed that terrible plague would sweep this
earth from "eend to eend" in the year 1881.
After the plague has spent its force, con-
tinual conhagratlons will occur in all parts
Of the globe, and then will come the final
reckoning Those who are inclined to be
superstitous will be constantly in shot
water" until the dawning Of the new year
Of 1882. They have the consolation,
however, that they will be accompanied by
their SISTERS and their cousins and their
aunts" We shall see.
TUE BULLETIN having duly informed
its readers in regard to the prophecy of
ancient Mother Shipton," arises to state
that, were she alive to-day, she would no
doubt find u congenial spirit in the person
of Miss Cornelia Seibles of Brookhaven,
Miss. Miss Seibles doesn't fortell a
final disruption of terrestrial affairs, but she
predicts an occurrence equally disagreed
bic. She says--and says emphatically
that there shall come to pass grand,
awful upheayal and general chaotic
intermiXture of all things political before
the 4th Of next month"; that Garfield will
never be naugurated, and that this country
will be ruled IN future by king. Miss
Scibes bases her prediction upon wonder
iul vision, which appeared to her many
years ago, the particulars of which have
repeatedly gone the rounds of the papers.
She is firm in her convictions, and awaits
with calm confidence the alleged govern
mental change. If there is any patriotism
lying around dormant in the country, it
should awake and prepare for the emer-
gency,
