The Social Amusement Club SHIELD
forth" at Bowers restaurant last night IN
honor of Fred Bross, one of their members,
who leaves in a day or two tor Texas. A

full justice to it. Fifteen or twenty parll-
cipated in it.
The Halliday Guards will take part in
the Decoration ceremonies at Mound City
Friday. They will be an important at
traction there. They are rapidly getting
to be one Of the crack companies OF the
State. Since the inspection by the lnspec-
tor General of the State several days ago,

1t is noticeable that the "old ticket" of
the Democrats is spoken Of with very gen
eral respect by the press OF the country-in
most instances through regard; in Others
through fear. Take the other sold ticket"
and the reverse is true. Hays is mentioned,
even in his own party circles, only to be
derided, while Wheeler has the charity OF
utter silence spread like pail over his
name The sense Of right and justice is not
dead, though it was grievously wounded
iu 1875. 1884 will set all things even.

at which time Mr.. Hendricks began the
opening argument for the prosecution. Mr.
Hendricks will conclude this morning and
|
will be followed by Mr.. Mulkey for the de-
fense, and Mr.. Linegar will then conclude
the argument for the prosecution. 1t is be.
lieved that all of to-day will be consumed
in the argument and if necessary nigh
session will be held by the court. Mr.
J Linegar's argument will probably be, as
usual, the master effort of the day.
Health Officer Ent has resigned hi,
place to accept position with the SINCE,
Company. The position of health Officer
is not an attractive one. Its duties are
aborious and attended with much un-
pleasantness. To perform them well re-
qures an active man and one who is not
easily intimidsted by people who are IN
different to their health and that of the
neighborhood in which, they live aud who
resist anyone who would rescue them from
the filth with which they surround them
selves. Mr.. Eat did good work while he
was in the service. The vacancy will
doubtless be filled at the meeting Of the
Council next Tuesday.
Mr. DesRocher placed on our table
yesterday a basket of strswberries-a
specimen of what can be done in the gar
dens at Cairo by careful cultivation. These
berries ore of the captain Jack" variety,
and Mr.. DesRocher believes that three
hundred bushels can be raised here from
an acre of ground. As an experiment he
set out last season four huudred plants for
berries for his own use, aud Is now pick.
ing from his bed twenty or thirty quarts
every morning. They are handsome specl-
mems of the fruit bright red, rich and
sweet; scarcely one in the basket before us
will measure less and nearly all of them
measure more than four inches in Circum-
| ference.
