The 'lady" who some time ago got
into the meshes Of the law in conse-
quence of too near acquaintance with
Count Contee, a gay and festive barber
at Poplar Bluff, is "under the shad-
ows" again. At her former trial she
employed q lawyer to defend her, and,
in lieu of ready money, gave him her
watch as collateral for the ultimate
payment of the fee agreed upon. Last
week she got together the amount in
lawful money Of the realm, and went to
her quondam defender to pay the debt
and receive her watch. But, loand be-
hold! the lawyer had disposed of the
time-keeper to third party, and could
not yield it up. Thereupon the fe-
male waxed wroth, armed herself with
q cudgel and proceeded to "take it out
Of his hide" Then the city marshal
played his hand, his Honor passed
judgment upon the disturber of the
peace-as If any body could disturb the
peace in the vicinity of q P. B. saloon!
and now the lively Nancy Grow
languisheth q second time within the
walls of the calaboose.

A few weeks ago. colored troupe
calling itself the Uncle Toms Cabin
Combination came to Potosi, and when
it left, the colored band of that town
went with it. Now the Independent
has Information that the Combination
collapsed at Carlinville, ILL.,, the other
day, leaving the "band boys" high
and dry, without money and without
friends. In the meantime the families
of the married members have had to
shift for themselves as best they could,
and are now in destitute condition.
We presume when "the boys" get
home again, they will be, content to
stay there.

He got his four years of Office, and
with it the power to confer valuable
favors upon the sconndrels who,
through the aid of Grant, Robson, and
others, placed him therein. Those
favors were dealt out literally, but
never friend was secured to him; on
the contrary, he went out of Office with
out the respect of even those who profit
ed most by the Grand Steal. All
the prominent leaders and papers of his
party have time and again pointed the
finger discern and derision at him some
of them even going 30 far as to twit him
with the fact that he was in the pos

had been elected. At this day he en-

WE ARE entirely free from the least
tincture of Puratism, or asceticism, and
friendly to all innocent pleasures, but
we cannot close our eyes to the havoc
which intemperance is making in the
United States. Statistics show that there
are quarter of million of incorrigi-
Bile drunkards, and that 100000 men fall
victims to alcoholism every year. Al
coholism fills our poor houses, insane
asylums and penitentiaries with recruits.
1t is at the bottom of almost every muir
der. The picture is certainly dark
enough to awaken horror in every mind
and to kindle PHILANTHROPY in every
heart. Drunkenness changes genius
into slavering idiocy, gentleness into
brutality, and destroys every trait and
quality which elevate man above the
"beasts Of the field" Is there no posi-
BILE way of checking this fearful increase
OF drunkenness in the land /? Prohibit
ton Will not do so. Experience has
shown this fact beyond all cayil. Some
thing must be done in the way of coun-
ter action and remedy or intemperance
will ruin the country in few genera
tions by the physical and mental dis
eases entailed by it. This matter affords
ample food for thought and ample room
for philanthropy and craftsmanship.

An ELECrIoNEERING fund is now of
more consequence than the candidates,
and money is the main factor in cleo
tions. This fund for electoneering pur-
poses, simply means a fund for corrup-

pretend not to understand what is the
object of this fund. The people can APP
ply the remedy, and nobody else can do
it. Let every man show his disapproval
and condemnation of the corruption of
voters. But how shall he show it? BY
refusing to contribute himself and by

upon it. 1t does not suit their taste. 1t
will cost too much. They must part
with money in order to enjoy the "luxury
