--Centrslis Democrat: "Tbe grand
opening of M. b. Sadlcr's Opera House

"A gentleman from Kentucky was in
the city yesterday, and sought to employ
number Of negroes to % work
on land some distance east of
here; but he could not find sufficient
number who were willing to go with him.
There were enough who wanted work and
would do almost anything to gain living,
but they would not leave town-they would
rather remain here idle than to leave the
city and work for living. They evidently
labor under the delusion that the Tenth
street commisary will again be in full
blast in a few days.
The reception, by the ladies of Cairo to
the gentlemen who defended the city DUR
ing the great danger from overflow, will
be given at The Halliday on Saturday even
ing, March 25th, from eight to ten o'clock.

the following ladies': Mrs. W. P. Halli-
day, Mrs. H. L. Halliday, Mrs. II. H. Can
dee, Mrs. Chss. Gallagher, Mrs. c. W.
Bradley, Mrs. A. H. Irwin, Mrs. c. W. Hen
derson, Mrs. p. w. Barclay, Mrs. w. B.
Gilbert, Mrs. L. j. Rttenhouse, Mrs. G.

--Deuster, q Wisconsin congressman,
has a true idea of the congressman's power
and position. In an after dinner speech he
said, recently: "My experience in that
body has taught me the same thing it did
9 certain judge, who said to me once
'Deuster, man thinks himself awful big
at home; but just let him get here once
and take his seat in congress, aud inside of
four weeks you can buy him for song
That was my experience, too" And that
is the experience Of pretty much every new
man who goes to Washington re-
pubicans of this district should profit by
Mr.. Deusteris experience and apply 1t in
making q choice of candidates for con-
gress at the next election.
"A large number of Migrants are pass
ing through the city almost daily, going
from the south to the north. They havein-
tested the former country during the ex-
pected prevalence OF cold winds and snow
in the north, and now they return in antc-
patton of swarm reception" They are
receiving this kind of q reception here,
thanks to the vigilance Of the chief and the
police force. A gang OF half dozen who
we're making the rounds Of the city
yesterday, begging for food and looking
for opportunities to "lift" something, were
given orders to leave as soon as possible.
One of them was taken before Magistrate
Comings, fined and given stay of execu-
ton with the understanding that he leave
town speedily. He left.
