August was arrested and brought before
Justice j. II. Robinson, charged with vag
rancy. The court: "Are you guilty or moi
guilty!n Prisoner: q blank stare, a motion
conveying the idea that he was deaf, but
not word, The court wrote the question
upon a slip of paper, and the prisoner
wrote the answer 81 am gildy,'
Further conversation in the same way
lead to an admission on the part of the
prisoner that he could talk Norwegian, but
couldn't hear, and also to suspicion and the
formation Of scheme on the part of the
court and officers. Mr. John Johnson, a
Norwegian, doing business on Eighth
street, was sent for and he wrote questions
on paper in the Norwegian language and
received verbal answers in reply But the
prisoner stollidly persisted in playing deaf,
until suddenly he was asked in German
"hoennen sic auch Deutch sprechen2' He
heard the question; was taken by surprise,
andbefore he could catch himself he replied,

the court assessed fine of fifty dollars and
costs, and gave the foolish Owgoost one

Prospects for continuance of the
building boom now in progress, here during
every day Of favorable weather in winter
and for fresh start next spring, are as ia
vorabe as the most enthusiastic we'll
wishers Of Cairo could desire. The houses
now in progress Of erection, numbering
somewhere between n dozen and twenty,
nearly all substantial structures and some Of
very them imposing, will engage large force

there are plans for half a dozen big and
little houses already in course OF prepara-

houses will be similar TO Mr.. Neif s
and to Mr. John Gates and will fill the
vacant space between these. Another large
bnck business houses is to be put up on
the vacant lot at the corner of Ohio levee
and Eight street, by Mr. Edwards, of
springfield, and he will probably be joined
by the owner of the adjoining lot, who may
also put up a similar building, and thus a
very substantial improvement will take
the place of what is now an improdtab. e
and very unsightly piece of ground. Mr..
Nsf will also, by that time if not sooner,
have decided unon re-erecting the lately

The young lady had come out victorious
