"A dispatch from Paducah to lady
guest of the Planters House yesterday
evening stated that the steamer Gus Fowler
was laid up and would not be down. No
reason was given, but the suppostion is
that her officers would not brave vhe strong
wind, which blew all day yesterday.

belly and many an oath staggered into his
august presence They were both found

rails torn up, telegraph wires cut and

etc. There is no doubt in the minds Of
those who ought to know but that the pave
ment will come up to the highest expecta-

1t was woman's rights meeting,
The speaker was saying, "Let us take our
stand right here and firmly resolve that
neither the votes nor the arguments of the
opposite sex, nor any power on this earth
shall turn US aside or move us one inch |
from this positi"--Just here wicked bat |
flew into the room and the meeting ad-
journed with so much quickness that some
of the members lost their back hair. The
speaker who could not be turned aside" |
was seventeenth from the last in getting |
out at the front door. And it is not certain |
that the bat was one of the Opposite SEX"
either.
The city is swarming with tramps who
are daily making the rounds of its more
respectable portions begging for food, II
.hese men would but come down this way,
md move down little further, about the
ime Of year deck hands on steamboats, are
,ffered one hundred dollars per month at
New Orleans, and if they would then but
muster up courage enough to exert them
selves little to earn an honest living, they
would have no occasion TO humble them
selves as they are doing IN order to get
their daily bread. Downright la2iness is
what aiIs -tenths of the tramps in the
country.

while he was away from the wagon, the

some obstruction, the eggs were scattered
all over it. No other damage was done.
