wish to be placed on record to this affect
We wish to see the day when colored men
will go to the polls and vete like men, and
help swell the number, who are sick and
tired of being lead by the nose. The day

whom they please andrelievethe Republican

-"Uncle Dsnl is boldly-sketched char
acter of simple goodness and faith in human
nature, but great shrewdness and cool man
agement when business upon his intellect
aud energy. Mr.. McAuley takes this part
and plays 1t with force and effect. His
dialect is broad; his manner countrfed,
without rudeness, and perfectly natural;
his affections hearty, sympathetic with all
sorrow and distress, and indignant at all
meanness and corruption, When he gets
into the hands of the gang who threaten
him with death his conduct takes on an
aspect OF heroism but in the simplicity Of
perfect honest The above clipping from
the New York World has reference to an
actor of special ability and power, and who
for years successfully managed the celebra

Grand Opera House at Louisville. Mr..
McAuley will appear at the Opera House
in this city on the evening OF April 4th, and
will present for the first time in Southern
Illinois the SPLENDID comedy drama "a

he is tirst-class IN every respect.
About a month ago there were sen,
here by express a large number of empty
egg boxes Of the patent kind. They were
sll painted blue and bore the stamp of "E
Todd s. Co., Chicago" They were sent
here by this firm, and to many other points
all around here, for the purpose of being
filled with eggs and returned TO Messrs
Todd s. Co. Eggs were high in Chicago
then, ranging from twenty-five to thirty
cents per dozen and this firm claimed to
making specially of them, flooded the
country with circulars, offering to send
boxes free Of charge to any one who would
send eggs and guaranteeing higher returns
than sny other commission house could
make. Responses 70 these circulars were
numerous. Empty boxes we're sent by car
loads to all important points along the Hi
nois Central road and its southern branch,
snd thousands upon thousands Of dozen Of
eggs were sent TO E. Todd & Co. One ship
per some distance below sent whole car
load in barrels at once. In this city several
business men N ade each large shipments
buying eggs whenever they could find them
packing them in these blue boxes and send
ing them to Messr:. f. Todd & Co. Chicago.
They waited patiently for several weeks for
the returns, or at least an acknowledgement
Of the receipt Of the goods, but none came,
and the latest information the shippers
have is that Messrs. L. Todd g. Co. are no
more, having "fsled"a week or more ago
and left the scene Of their swindling apper-
atoms The losses sustained by the sever
al shippers here will foot up three or four
hundred dollars.
