At a meeting of twenty-five or thirty gentlemen, held in the parlors of the St. Charles hotel last evening, it was decided to give a ball at the St. Charles on Xcw Year's eve. Tho gentlemen present formed themselves into a club, under the name of the St. Charles Club and elected B. F. Blake president and Lou Sehuckers secretary.

Andplww" they iu they tliink of Texa, and exclaim, "Thou wert so near, but now so far." It has become an almost universal complaint that It Is impossible to procure a good 5 cent cigar in Cairo. To smoi kcrs we would say that the "Peerless," a 5 cent cigar which is manufactured ex pressly for rhll. Saup, Is a cigar which will meet with their favor. 12 12-tf. Judge Yocum adjourned probate court on Wednesday evening till Thurs day morning, 27th inst.

Mr. Coburn, proprietor ot the "Car diff Giant," now on exhibition on Wash ington avenue, betweeu Xlnth and Tenth streets, In this city, has tendered the gross receipts of the exhibition on Fri day next, from 8 a. rn. to 11 o'clock p. m., to the'Culro Reform Club, and Geo. E. Ol instead, John P. Hiley, Sol. A. Sil ver and Capt. W. M. Williams will have charge of the exhibition during the day. Admission, 10 cents; children , 6 cents. No free list. We have "seen the giant," and endorse the language of the circular announcing this exhibition, which says, VAs a work of art, petrifaction, or what ever it may be, to see it Is worth the price ot admission." "Honesty is the be3t policy." Su thinks Mr. Frank Haley, the popular up town druggist. Day before yesterday a colored man walked into Mr. Ueley's drug store, and, after buying several articles, left. Mr. Heley shortly after ward found a pocket-book on his counter containing some titty odd dollars, which he recognized as the property ot the aforesaid colored man. The looser bad traveled some three or four miles before missing bis money, and alter searching the road tho entire distance, returned to Mr. Heley's drug store, where he re celved his money. Thus was another soul made happy. Sol. Smith Russell, with his excel lent troupe, will be with us to-morrow night. Speaking of Mr, Russell an ex change says : " Mr. Russell Is an artist, and a clever one. He has a face which is wonderfully mobile, a figure well adapted to his particular line of business, and an amount of dry humor which Is wonderful. In fact, we may say that dry ness Is his peculiar characteristic. It is not the broad, rich humor of the west ; it is the bard, quaint, odd quality ot char acter found la tho east, la trie peculiar line ot business which Mr. Russell has taken up, the temptation to introduce a little coarseness must be very great, and bis perfect freedom from even a suspicion of such a thing Is certainly very much to bis credit.

Under these clrcumsianeea, it is obvious that the constitution must oon give way unless the vital fluid Is enriched.
