Madam Ferris, the " medium" grave
ly informed her audience here, that
money had nothing to do with her com
ing to Cairo. She visited this city simply
to please the people of Memphis. It was
observed, however, that tho madam never
failed to exact a dollar from each niale
member of her audience. "Wo aro fully
persuaded that a little light on her dark
scenes, would divest them of much of their
mystery, and, most likely, rob the madam
of hor occupation.
If wo could forotell tbe base ball ac
cidents that the usual devotion to tho

of our now enthusiastic baso ballists' would

crushed ; sovcral eyes havo been blacken

for practice, and striking tho little lud on
tho back of the head, knocked him, for tho
time, senseless. Nevertheless it's "anoblo

Mr. Davis, who enmo down from the

The Tricks ok Trade. Tho. effort on J
the part of somo of our httckstors to socuro
tho "first pick" from tho vegotablo wag
ons coming into our city, often gives rue
to ?cry splrtyijjeontcntion. About threo
o'clock yesterday morning an cntorprlsing
member of thnt class tf traders posted
himself on tho sidewalk about a hulf milo
abovo tho court houso, with a view of
"way-laylng" a load of green peas that
wero expected to arrive in town about
daybreak. Ho felt quito suro of his prizo,
and felicitated himself on the advantage
It would give him in tho trade of tho ear
ly morning. "Whllo waiting on tho side
walk, and congratulating himself on his
promised success, n rival' huckster was
stealing by him, underneath, tho sldo walk,
determined to gobble tho samo batch of
peas. The "dodge" was a good one, Tmt
not qulto sacceisful. No. 2 finally stole
beyond the eyo and car-shot of his rival,
and emerged from bis cover. Thtnklng
it possible that a third huckster was still
boyond him. ho mado up his mind, as
Uotts once did, "to head 'em or dio." and
actually visited tho garden from whenco
tho supply was expected. Findine a cou
plo of busheh of tho coveted vegolablo
already gathorcd, ho dumped them into a
wheel barrow which bo found at hand,
and actually wHcclcd ttio load, a distance
of twomlloj, tohisplacoof business, in tno
city. This he thought "sharp," though
somewhat laborious "practice," and it
was ; but the result scarcoly justified tho
effort, since, on his return, he found his
competitor "up to his ryes" in peas, nnd
measuring them out by pecks and half
bushels to a perfect crowd of customers,
and manifestly Ignorant of tho offort that
had been put forth to "head him."
While No. 2 was under tho sidewalk the
market wagon passed him, nnd with it!
entiro contents, fell into tho hands of his
cntcprising competitor.
That Calico Ball. Arrangement
aro maturing for a "calico hop" in tho St.
Charles hotel, on Monday ovoning, next,
that will eclipse all re-unions of that kind
ever held in Southern Illinois. Gentle
men havo tbe affair in hand who are ait
fait managers, nnd aro putting forth their
best exertions to bring about tho result wb
have predicted. Cairo is somowhat noted
for the uniform success and brilliancv of
hor social ro-unions, btxt, to borrow a
phrase from an eloquent divine of the
city, we shall expect the hop of Monday
to "clap tho ciimato of all former successors
in that line of intrusting amazements.'
Tbo members of the Committee of Ar
rangements will bo distinguished by
badges or bluo ribbon; Reception Com

TheCdstom House Grounds. Seven
thousand cubic yards of earth are yet to
be placed on the grounds of tho new cus

est and beet bidder, and since we havo tho

work, wo hope tho best and lowest bidder
will be a Calroite. Tho work must be
performed under tho direction of tho cus
tom-bouse superintendent and bo com
pleted on or beforo tho 1st day of No

be n storm soon,

4,4S5 arrivals in steamboats alone, being

Can any other river city beat that ?
tQrTho Mississippi is falling again at
