The wretch Hazel, who brutally killed
little child near Jonesboro some months
ago, and then.made good his escape, was
captured near Poplar Bluff few days ago
and taken through Cairo to the scene of his
crime for trial. Nothing less than the eX-
tremest penalty quickly enforced will salts
fly justice in his case.
Thirteen students or Trinity college in
Hartford, Conn, members Of the Senior
class, were Monday suspended indefinitely
by the faculty as penalty for hazing. The
victims of the brutal practice were three

The new comet continues 20 give
promise OF a brilliant future. La three or
tour weeks it will probably be conspicuous
ia the northern sky, but al present il cannot
be- discerned by the naked eye. Even IN
telescope tits fain; o5iectbu the observer
quickly perceiyes that, under the mighty
pull of the sun, it is quickening its fight
every hour and rapidly growing larger. In
June It will dart into its peIihelion, sweep
around the sun, anu, it is hoped, burat in
to blaze Of cometary glory. The direction !
of its flight is such that, if it does not fling |
out long tail, We shall have fine view OF !
it. The comet will az no time come near |
the earth, but it will be one of the
most remarkable ever known for its close
approach to the sun. The figures of the
caiculators vary, but all agree that the
comet will go very close to the sun, and
some express doubt whether il may not
strike the solar orb.
An exchange says: THE growth Of
some of orr frontier Texas cities is really
phenomenal. In Laredo the city council
is thinking Of building $4,000 opera
house before it has passed an ordinance
forbidding swine to run loose in the
streets. In Cairo we have City thousand
dollar opera house, and hogs at large, and
broken gates, and ruined flower gardens,
and wallows in the public thoroughiares
"uutil you cautrcst." According TO to the
exchange, "hogs and harmony is possible
and tolerable, but hogs and elegant Opera
houses should not be permittcdto roam the
streets of city at the same time. The eX.
change is probably hight, either hogs or
opera houses should be banished from our
public thoroughfares-- but which, noble
lords, which, that is the question.
1t seems that some trouble occurred at
the mass meeting Of coored people At the !
court house Monday night, The resolution,
recommending Mr.. G. w. Tanner to Capt. |
j. r. Thomas for an appointment, seems to
have been forced through against the wish
es of the majority and under the cover OF
measures not german to the purpose for
which the meeting was called. While Mr.
Tanner is good enough young man, he is
but the choice of faction which procured |
his recommendation by irregular means,
and the result was, that when it was an
nounced that the resolution recommending
him had passed, there was great outcry,
the meeting broke up in disorder. and those
few who had engineered the scheme leltsI
in high glee thinking that all was well.
But they were mistaken. After the dis
turbers had gone the meeting was reor-
ganized, the name of Mr.. Samuel TAYLOR
was placed in nomination, independent OF
all other issues aud regularly balotcd for
and carried by large majority. Mr.. Tay-
