meut. f ortunately there was no one near
enough to the bin when it fell to be hurt,
but it served to give everybody witliiu
hearing distance a big scare.
A distressing night was to be seen at
tho court-houso yesterday evening. A
Norwegian, an old man, reduced to poverty,
was lying on the back porch, prostrated
with sickness, superinduced by the heat
ami want of nourishment. He had tramped
all tho way from Salt Lake. The gentlemen
about the court-house took him in charge
and careil for his immediate wants.
Yesterday morning about ten o'clock
Ilurd's team of horses while stnndingon Com
mercial avenue took fright and dashed down
the avenue to Eighth street and out Kighth
to Washington. They became disengaged
from the wagon to which they were at
tached at Geo. Steinhouse's barber shop,
damaging a large barber pole and running
over Mr. Trigg, who was doing his best to
arrest their career. Fortunately he was
not injured. The wagon was not damaged,
but it is said one of the horses sustained
some serious bruises.
A white man about forty-five years old
was found dead on Halliday's wliar.'boat
yesterday morning. He was a stranger in
this city and nothing is known of him, al
though it is asserted that he was on his way
to St. Louis. He dii'd of dysentery and ex
haustion, and was in an absolutely destitute
condition. Papers found on his person in
dicate that he had recently been working at
Pecan Point, Mo., had owned some property
there, and was sold out under a foreclosure.
Memoranda addressed to "My dear brother,

his identity. His feet were Wind in rags
and his apparel and all outward signs
showed that he was in Very straightened
circumstances. No inouest was held, and
he was buried at the expense of the county.
The Sun of yesterday makes the very
serious charge that we did not WTieve what
we wrote nlmut the npalhy of Cairo Rcpub-
licans regarding the outragescommitted up
on colored citizens of Ballard county. We
hnvo uniformly treated our astute Heights r
with the courtesy due to a member of her
sex, and wo are grieved beyond utterance to
seethe dear old gazelle go off into one of her
tantrums and abuse those who cherish her
with a love that is all a love, by expressing
doubts of their sincerity. Whatever she
may say of us in a spell of anger, we cannot
but cling to tho In-lief that in her calm and
reflective moods she will do us justice, sec
the errors into which passion has led her, and
take us once more to her motherly and for
giving lxwom. She likes us, and she can't
help herself.
Prejudice often rules in the physical
treatment of babies. They are allowed to
suffer and scream with pain from Colic,
Flutulenco, Bowel Disorders, etc, when
some simple, reliable and safe remedy as
Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup, would give almost
immediate relief and perfect ease to the lit
tle sufferer.

THE BALLARD OUTRAGE.
what a prominent citizen of Till county
HAS TO say auolt it the feeukuovkh
T1IKKK.
Through tho courtesy of Mr. John E.
Henderson we are euabled to givo tho fol
lowing extracts from a private letter receiv
ed by him from a prominent citizen of Bal
lard county. It is dated Blandville, 18th
inst.:
I am in receipt of tho Cuiro Billbtin of
tho 17th, which you wero so thoughtful as to
send me, and noticed an article headed
"Tho Ballard Kuklux Again" in which I
think tho writer makes several mistakes.
Neither Judge Wilds, county judge, T. P.
Hays, county attorney, nor myself were
aware until lust night that any such foul
and dastardly proceedings had been done
in our county lately. In speaking with
Judge Wilds he stated that he was powerless
to ilo anything, unless som .' person would
prefer a charge against the rowdies., one
who could tell where and whom
he could get witnesses, nnd it
anyone would do that, he would gladly
issue subpuuiiis and attachments for them,
and those who scared away the colored
people. The authorities are not to blame
the blame lies upon the shoulders (if the
colored persons who left, and others in that
neighliorhood for not reporting the out
rage before this to the proper persons, and if
they had, the villains would secure the pun
ishment they deserve.
I expect to see the Radical papers make
capital out of the outrage, but if the truth
were known, they would lie at better busi
ness in cleansing their own party of its foul
leaders.
You, the Bulletin, Sun, and everyone else
fan rest assured that if witnesses can lie
had the perpetrators of the outrage will be
dealt with according to law.
Smokers, if you wish a tine "Key West'
or 'imported' cigar, call at Korsineycr's
cigar store. It is the only place in the city
almost daily in receipt of fresh goods.

Ancient Castles. What appeals to tho
imaginative and reflective powers of man
more than the ruins of some undent ivy-cov
ered and forsaken castlel Poets have Invited
the muses to help them weave into verso
tho legendcrio chivalry and bravery that
history accords to their former owners and
occupants. Painters have vied with eueh
other in portraying tho grandeur of their
solitude and decay. But is it not tho per
mature und social wreck of thousands of
young people, annually, a theme that
should appeal much more keenly to the re
flective faculties of man? Dr. K. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. Y., prescribes his
Golden Medical Discovery in such affections
with the most gratifying results. No
known remedy equals or compares with it
in purifying and enriching tho blood,
strengthening and invigorating tho nervous
system. If tho bowels bo constipated, use
his Pleasant Purgative Pellets. In tho
more complicated cases, Dr. Pierce may be
consulted by letter, and will generally be
able to prescribo medicines especially ire
pared for each individual case that will
speedily restore nervous vigor und perfect
health.
The following parties, among thousands
of others, have cither been cured by the
use of Dr. Pierce's Medicines or have ob
served their wonderful curative properties
