CoNGREssMAN RANDALL of Pennsylvania, leader of the small band of protection ist democrats, is visiting southern cities and getting considerable attention, to the great distress of Editor Watterson of the Louisville Journal, who don't recognize the terms of democrat and "pretection- .ist" as being in the least interchangeable. Mr. Randall tomorrow boards the lion in his den, visiting Louisville. He can not now go further south than Birmingham, Alabama, but he intends after the 4th of March to visit New Orleans, Pensacola, Savannah, Mobile and Charleston. The revenue reformers continue much disturb ed, because of the information that he is to receive most emphatic welcome at all places to which has been invited. It seems to be intended as means of bringing into prominence, at the outset of the new ad- the growing protection senti- ment throughout the south.

WINTER came at last with snap, last Friday and Saturday being two unusually cold dSdays. The mercury took an average range of 14o below 0 in New England. The change back to milder weather was quite as sudden. A snowfall on Sunday gave promise of fair sleighing, but ended with rain and thaw that left the ground bare again. On Monday it was telegraph ed from Minnesota that another cold wave was headed for Holland county. I proved on arrival to be less sevefe than that of last week, and ended with snow storm.

for the Rock Island Lumber company this
morning.
The Pittsburg went down last night
loaded to the guards
The Mary Morton is expected at this
point next Saturday.
The water lowered about six inches
during last night.
The fine steamer St Paul made her
landing at this point this morning. She
had on board about twenty passengers,
and nearly nineteen hundred tons of
freight She took on a car load of salt
and some other freight at this point. The
St. Paul is in charge of Captain Thomp-
son, an old and experienced river man,
well known to everybody on the river.
The captain informed the ARGUS reporter
that the st. Paul left La Crosse last Mon
day morning, and that the trip down had
been rough. Two snow storms were expe-
rienced. In speaking of the river at La
Crosse and above La Crosse, Captain
Thompson said that everything was boom
ing, especially with the raft boats The
Black river boom was full of logs and had
been for the past week, and likely to be
for the next month to come.

Hitchcock.

Hon. Frank Hitchcock, formerly sher
if of Peoria county, and late, Mayor of
the city of Peoria, was in the city yester-
day. He came up here, he said to the
ARGUS reporter, as private citizen, but
the ARGUS man was up to snuff" and
didn't swallow Franks blue coated pill.
Frank was up here in the interest of his
boss, General John A, Logan, who every
body knows wants to be president of the
United States, He was "nosing" around
seeing how the delegates in this city were
going to perform when they got in con-
yention at Bushnell, H. He was afraid
that our Beardsley had not "set up the
pins" sufficient TO secure success, and had
come up to view the field. He found the
delegates about half and halt in favor of
Logan, and then returned to his home in
wicked, ungodly Peoria. By the way,
Hitchcock, was one of the men who helped
capture the notorious desperate, Frank
Rande. in st. Louis, a few years ago

ness Man of Iowa City Follow
the Minstrels Here.

This is a giddy, giddy world. tits just
as vain as it is giddy. This is caused, no
doubt, by the difference in the people who
inhabit this terrestrial globe. But this is
neither here nor there, so to our tale.
Two weeks ago Eli Henry's minstrel troupe
held down the boards in Iowa City Iowa,
a city of about 5000 inhabitants. They
seemed to have laid Iowa City wide
Open" figuratively speaking. While there
two of the dudes in the combination
"made mash" on two young ladies, emf
nently respectable, accomplished, pretty,
etc. Just whether all the damsels of
Iowa City are so susceptible of the tender
emotions we know not, but certain it
is that these two girls, Emma and
Annie Richards. fell dead in
love" with the dudes. They met at
hotel in that city after the performance of
the troupe that night ami had big time.
The troupe left the city and in a day or
two the girls packed up all their earthly
possessions and joined them at Cedar
Rapids. From Cedar Rapids hey fol-
lowed the troupe to every city or their
route. Last Saturday the girls were in
Davenport, where they remained until last
night, when they came over here. After
the performance last night. the two dudes
and the girls went out on bum, deter
mined to paint the whole town deep,
deep red. They got to making SO much
noise that the peelers got ''onto them
Officer Bunker walked up to the party
when they were on Union square, and
was going to "run III" the whole crowd.
The men swore and the girls cried. Final
ly the girls were told to get out of town,
but started towards Davenport After
Bunker left, the dudes got in hack and
overlook the girls between here and Day
export. The party then went on to
Davenport, where the dudes remained
until four this morning, when they re-
turned over to this side. The Richards
says they are the daughters of II. II.
Richards. who runs one of the largest dry
goods stores in Iowa City. 1t is to be
hoped that something will be done to stop
them in their mad career. AS for the
dudes who caused them to go astray, a
coat of tar and feathers is too good for
them.

The Reliaf Roat,

The relief boat, the Barnard, which left
ST. Louis, is now away below Vicksburg,
where it is distributing supplies to the
lower flood sufferers. Captain Durham,
of the United States engineers office, of
this city, is along with the boat. He
hasn't charge of the boat however, as a
United States commissary department is
on board and is issuing out the rations.
The boys up at the engineers office have
not heard anything from the genial cap
tain. 1t is altogether probable that the
captain will return to St. Louis, where
another supply of provisions will be taken
on board and distributed.
