MIR. P. Mocklor has built for himself {
commodious business house on Commercial
avenue, near Fourth street, and now oc
cupies it as hotel and boarding house.
The United States may be described as
a land where the head of the alleged gov
eminent is more generously exposed to the
bullet of the untrammeled assassin than
any where else in the world.
Through the kindness Of Captain Will
Jams, we, Sunday night, read the mornings
St. Louis papers that came in by the spe-
cial train over the narrow-gauge. This Is
the first time that we remember of the st.
Louis Sunday mornings papers reaching
Cairo on Sunday evening.

For the next three years and half the
average Ohio man will have the privilege
of pecping through the cracks of the white
house fence but he will have to give up the
habit he has had for some time past of
bossing affairs inside the enclosure. An
other set of fellows have got a lease on the
premises.
An advertisement in another column
carries an invitation to all to eat supper
one of those particularly fine colations that
have become famous as spread by the
ladies ST the W. G. II. U,-at Temperance
Hall next Thursday evening. Supper will
be served at six o'clock for twenty-five
cents-cheaper than staying at home.
We are requested by a lady-ln fact,
by two ladies, to say that when any lady
desires to drive out for pleasure, or to
make calls that is pleasure, too, isn't III
and does not wish to be incumbered
with an awkward biped of the other sex,
gentle horses suitable for any lady to drive
can always be found at the livery stable Of
Mr.. A. j. Garlic. They have probably tried
them.
| Perhaps it would be as well if the
worthy and generous citizens who are sub
scriblng to the fund for Mrs. Garfield
would halt a moment, pay in what they
have subscribed, and then proceed. AS it
now stands, the subscribers bid fair to
reap m amount of credit disproporhoned
to the amount Of cash forward to the
widow.
The recent fratcrnal meetings of eX-
soldiers of the Blue and the Gray at Chat
tanooga, Tenn, and at Carlisle, Penn, are
pleasing signs of reconciliation which is
daily growing more extended and lnhuen-
tial tc eliminate sectionallsm from Ameri-
can politics. 1t makes no difference how
many parties there are so that they are not
divided by state and sectional lines.
1t has been suggested that the mourn
ing hangings which have done service in
expressing the public sorrow, be gathered
| up and sent to the sufferers in the burnt
region of Michigan. This would be highly
proper, but apparently people think it bet
ter to let the stuff rot off the houses. True,
it is not worth much, but these people who
have lost all they possessed might find it
valuable if it were taken down and sent to
them.

The other day in st. Louis large
building, long known and used by trav-
elers as the St. Nicholas hotel, fell to the
ground, fortunately killing nobody. A
few weeks ago the old Overton hotel at
Memphis, formerly leading resort for the
travelling public, fell to the ground, but
hurting no one. 1t is shameful such flimsy

lives in. 1t was probably simply miracle
that these man traps did not fall down
when they were full OF guests. When
