The Mecham case is on trial in Mound City, in the Pulaski county circuit court. A wedding is soon to be celebrated in the Fourth ward. Tlio necessary "rings and tilings" were day before yesterday pro cured. There will be a private masquerade at the reiiilence of Mr. W. II. Mathews, on the corner of Twentieth and Poplar streets, next Friday evening, the 27th inst. Levee business is getting too much mixed with up town matters, just now, for convenience. A fall of ten feet in the river would greatly facilitite the handling of freight. We well not bo surprised to hear of or ders being received from Cuba, Spain. Mexico uiitl South America for the "Fault less" five ( ent cent cigar, Sold by F. Kors tueyer. Chief among the damphools of a com munity may be considered the man who threatens to stop his paper if his misdeeds are chronicled. It is much better and more tj the point to stop his misdeeds. We regret to learn that a legal paper was yesterday served upon our geuial friend John Clancy. 'We are not at liberty to state the nature of the paper, but John wiii, we believe, satisfy all the curious who may make inquiry. Among the costly uovelties in the wou Joii'ul trousseau of queen of Spain, is a head dress of electric buttenlies in which tiie colors tire true to life, and when worn their wings tlutter gracefully. She also uses Thomas' Hair Sap. A well in the yard of Mr. A. J. Bird, on Seventh street, has been transformed into a fountain within the last day or two. A continual stream of water is beiug forced out of the pump. The high watei all around the city is probably the cause of it. The steam-.r Jjs. Fisk. Jr., has been sold by her owners to parties at Muscatine. Iowa, for a short packet business ami tow boat. The terms were $4,000 cash, and she is to be delivered us soon as her successor, the new Gus. Fowler, is finished. Senator Davis, of Illinois, writing to the chtiirmaiu of an Irish relief meet;,ig in Washington, the other day, expressed the opinion that slavery iu its worst form did Hot compare with the present oppressive laud system of Ireland under which gener ations grow up to foredoomed want and tV.e' 'I.ediieSS. The ladies ol the W. C. T. I', will sprea i another of their popular suppers at Temperance Hall this evening. Doors will lie op?u early and tiie tables will be spread at t.ve o'clock sharp with ail the most tempting dishes that can be p'.oduccd iiy th- ever willing and artful fingers of the female cooks. The Cathoi'c school room, under the church, on the corner of Ninth si.'eet and Wa.-h'tiL;. )n a ventre, ha- been abandoned and the sisters are now holding school in the ft-;1 me building two doors above the church. It is sail that the church basement is damp. and injurious to the health of the scholars. Tiie trial of A 'ey & Wi'or lor ke 'p iiiu' a g-.Ttb!ing hous, was yesterday com menced before Squire Comings, Messrs. Wr.i. Hendricks and II. Black appcarinu' for the city, and Messrs. D. T. Lincgar and George Hendricks for Axley & Wilson. The entire ufierno mi was consumed iu ar guing technicalities and at s; o'clock a change of venue was taken to Sqr-e Rob inson, bef re whom the cm nlll by li-r.vd at one n'cloci. th's aftemoo:;. At the meeting of tiie State cent ':d committee and the chr-meuof county cen tral coMiriittcCi h Sprngfield. next week, we suggest that pr..p. r measures be taken fir increasing the eitcvihitioa of the local Democratic newspapers of the state. Tii'i i-the nio-t ce; iah and most feasible mea s ure PT carrying 'he state for the DcrTim racy l!::-i fall. Tin: people of this state are nat- t;ra..y Democratic, it tie proper inen-un'S are a l-pted fir utilizing it. -A. f.'.eV probably bu: 'i'tle known, is. that the United Mates nieki 1 five cents fur niches u key to metric tm-n-uros and weights, This coin is two centimeters in diameter, nnd its weight is f;v grammes. Five of them placed in a row will give the length of the decimeter and two of them wid weigh a decagramme. A? a kilolitre is a cubic meter, the key to the measure of length is also the key to measures of ca pacity. A ineauri.,in"nt has been made of the lone elm on Money creek, iu McLean coun ty, widen is said to be tin; large-t tree in I.iiuois It is said to be 10','' feet in height. 17lj feet in circumference tlvt; feet from the surface of the ground and aiiovo all spur-roots, and (10 feet to the (list fork. This vegetable giant is reported apparently sound, and likely to still increase m size. Mr. Ethan MoAfcity, of Money creel:, who made the Measurement, has known tiie tree per-i'tially for forty-seven years. Mr. Dan'l Hai'tinim Vs new bn'ldoig on the coiiier of Ninth and Cnmmerelal is now completed-it huCng been plastered and the last touches of pa'nt wete yester day being put on. Ciirpetitci's are ut. work putting i'p shelving and Hmininn ex presses the belief that In two wet ks ho will be able to open in the building with nil im mense stock of new goods. TIh lm( up "ta'ts. is without question the handsomest and r ivmiist !:. the el'y, Its is ti;; by eighty-two feet und the number of windows and its height, combined with the number of handsome cliandol'ers and tlio decora tions on tho ceiling, makes it a thing of beauty of which our people havo reason to be proud. "Docs brain work kill?" That is the question which lias bjen started by the Loudon Times, and is now under discussion iu the various leading papers in the United States, and although we have read column ufter column ot very forcible arguments which were intended to convince the mind that brain work does kill, we don't begin to believe anything about it. In fact wo know that brain work dues not kill. Look at Brother Davis; consider the marvelous amount of mental work lie perforins and still the man is in the full enjoyment of his health. This is conclusive. We ask no other evidence that the London Times and every other Times is wrong, ami we are more than satisfied that u dyspeptic could recover and grow fat upon brain work. The social gathering, held at the resi dence of Capt. W. M. Williams last even ing, was well attended, Quite a number of our best society people were drawn there by the known geniality of the host and hostess and the promise of a rare musical treat from a juvunile class under the tutorship of Mi.s Annie Pitcher. After an hour pleasantly spent in mirthful, instructive and generally entertaining conversation MNs Pitcher's class performed its portion of the evening's programme. The 'music both vocal and instrumental was delight ful and was gone through with by the schollars with apparent c.is.; and without tiie slightest hitch or discord. It was listened to with rapt ultontion by the audience and reflects much ere lit upon the teacher's and tlio children-' tnu-ical talent and ability. Ail this, and mueli more, was to! 1 us by one who attended, and who is a good judge of good tilings generally. A meeting is to be held in Spring field on the 2?th of the executive commit tee of the state centra! committee. The meeting is to exchange views as to wh"n the state convention shall be held, etc. There is a very strong feeling among Demo crats that tho convention to nominate a state ticket should not bt held until after the national convention at Cincinnati, June 02 i. There is really no necessity of holding it sooner as the delegates to the national convention can be selected by congressional district conventions when and where a vote enn also be taken tor the delegates at larg:, thus avoid;ng the necessity of a state convention, at which dis trict delegates to national conventions have always been selected by the congres-ional district conventions and reported to the state convention. At nil events it is the generally expressed opinton among Demo crats that a state convention to select a ftate ticket should not be he! 1 until after the na tional convention, t.n 1 it is thought the s?at: committee at this meeting will take action in this directhn. We yesterday le '"ue I the p"ticul;irs of the stabbing affray which took place at Hotlges I'jvk Sunday last, and th's is about the way it occurred: Tiie negoes of the place were having a dance md a darkey employed by one Mike Tooney, a farmer of the neighborhood, attended, but b"i:ig generally disliked, th? negroes pitched on liin and threatened to give him a beating. Mr. Tooney hearing that the darkey in his cmp'ty wis about to re ceive a beat;ng went to 'he ba;i in o"der to get h!m to return home, bv.1 ttpin nnlviug there was met at the door bv ri t'l'vaten ing crowd of negroes, one of whom n'ltnel Jim Wallace, ca'led !om a s b . At this t.me a w! ite man named Jim R'ley interfered and nt5 tempte I to quiet the neg.oes when, without a:;y nngi words pasting between the:n. he was stabb'id twice '! ti.e left side by a in-gro named Joseph Dit's. Davis was immediately arrest c 1 fid w-s plered ii'ider six hundred d jlle.r-; bond by S pilr" Ilir.';-, It was yesterday lijnioi'ed that Davis had made his escape from Constable Ilargis, who is a ?on of the squ're. but as to wlu't'irr or not the rumor is true, we have no means of knowing at present.

Dissatisfaction was yesterday expressed to us by Mr.Axley, of the firm of Axley it Wilson, because of the account we had given ot the raid made upon their private room by the otlicers of the law on Saturday night last. Mr. Axley's remarks were, nat urally enough, far lnun complimentary to u, and slightly interspersed with oaths, but, the shades of St. Patrick look down upon us! wc still live, move and have our being. Whenever we have done a man ir.j'i-tiee, we care not what business he niuy be engaged in, we are tea ly arid willing to make amen Is, but in this in stance we respectfully insist that Tiik Ill'M.KTiN lia done Messts. Axley A Wilson no injustice and if fault can be found, by any citizen, with the report of tint raid as it appearo 1 in th-s columns, it will be. that it shielded men wh'Hf tiotjs deserve only the seveiv.t o.n lemnathm. We have until now, failed to give a de scription of the room hi which tiie gamblers were caught. It w is shown to us by Mr. Axley in order, perhaps1, to convince us tint gambling could n t sticcer-f.i'dy be carried on in it, and ps:h'.y this i so. It is a small room that ha but one win-low, f ic ing the yard, which is emia! to n i window at i all, since it is contunt!v k-pt closed tmd 1 screened, and admits u X a rv of light. The do..r cannot s opened from witliotit and is sectir-i by a s-iring I-ck from 'witliin. These arrangements are, of course, nn-relv accidental, an 1 we ure !"r . tt) admit that there was no design on tiie part of the proprietors to exeitt ie o:!ieers thereby ttnd they wer.'. we .h.ubt nt. m.-rcly i.. - '. ..e . .A. . .. .. lilt- ii-.tj.i hi u l-uiiui v:ii,-:i;vi s n-'an-. in oiMer to gain atmittaree f.tne m-iu the proprietors na i i--tao.;s.ie upon tlie giving of wiii lithe '1 or wis opened.
