Cairo, HI., save: Late Wednesday night
Officer Joseph Dopuyeter, of Ballard
county, Kentucky, acccmpanied by
posse of oitiitns, broke into a nest of
counterfeiters and arrested six of the
gang, four men and two women. The
gang went to Ballard county from Al
ston, UlixioU, tbout a month ago, set
tling down at Fort J( ff.rson in two old
shanties. They bad not sought any
legitimate employment and weresuspeot-
ed of subsisting by unlawful means
Last Saturday one of the men went to
Wyoliffe, a small town several mues
frcm Ft Jefferson, and bought solder,
suoh ss is used by tinners, for which
he paid partly with counterfeit niokels.
The c ffiocr and tosse went to the huts
in the night and found all huddled to
gether in a single room. The door
was burst open and the group
captured. Several moulds and a large
quantity of counterfeit niokels were
found in the room and the prisoners had
their pockets full of stuff. One of them
was a jotng girl 12 years of age. They
were all tt ken to Ballard Co., j til to
await the action of the United States au

Niw Yokk, Dec. 10. Greene & Co. 's
report on cotton futures says : It
has been sn aotive feverish and excited
day, snd rcmarksble for the frequency
and sharpness of the fluctuations, the
prioes often ohangirg 5.6 points in less
than aa many minutes. On the whole
the tendetey was downward, though the
decline of lOall prints was partlv re-
duoed, living the final rates 7a8 points
under last evening, and the tone about
steady. While Liverpool sained some
what, the improvment was somewhat less
than anticipated, and this with the inte
rior movement slightly exceeding the es
timates created a desire to secure the
profits and free dealing from many
quarters brought the depressing weight
of a surplus. Off brines, however.
seemed to meet a good waiting demand.

Some amusing instances of peculiari
ties in testators are gathered in an in
teresting little volume on the "Curiosity
and Law of Wills," by John Proffatt,
eounsellor-at-law. Doctors' Common,
the depository for English wills, eon
tains many remarkable testaments., Mr.
Zimmerman, who died in England as
late as 1840, directs in his will that no
person shall attend his corpse to tbo
grave and no funeral bell shall be rung,
adding the startling threat : "Ii this
be not done I will come again - that is
to ssy, if I can," a very safe and re
assuring proviso. One unhappily mar
ried Englishman who died in iiondon in
1791, leaves his wife Elisabeth "the
sum of one shilling, to be paid to her
six months after my deocase." In his
will he says of the aforesaid Elisabeth
tht "Heaven seems to have sent, her
into the world solely to drive me out of
it." and that "the strength of Samson,
the genius of Homer, the prudenoe of
Augustus, the skill of rjrrB.ua, the pa
tienoe of Job, the philosophy of Socra
ter, the subtlety of Hannibal and the
vigilanoe of Hermogenes would not
suffioo to subdue the perversity of her
character."
Instances are "plentiful as black
berries" in which testators prohibit
their wives from marrying agsii. Mr.
Granville Uaroourt, whose will wst
proved in 1862, is in exoeption. In it
ne says; '-The unspeakable interest
with whioh I constantly regard Lady
Waldegrave's future fate induces me to
advise her earnestly to unite herself
again with some one who may deserve
to enjoy the blessing of her scoiety,
during the many years of her possible
survival after my life." Mrs Van
Hanrigh, whose will was proved in
1868. was equally disinterested. She
says: "It is my earnest wish that my
darling husband should marry ere long
a nice, pretty girl who is a good house
wife, and above all to be oareful that
she is of a good temper."
Not uufrequently persona take oeoa-
sion to indulge in humor in their wills,
solemn as suoh documents usually are.
The most curious of these is the old
will of the Evrl of Pembroke. His
bequests are all of a s areas tie turn, and
among the "itema" isnne whioh read:
I give nothing to my Lord Siye, and I
do make him this legacy willingly, be
cause I know that he will faithfully dis
tribute it unto the poor " Acd the
following: I give to the Lieutenant
General Cromwell one of my words, the
which he must want, seeing that he
hath never kept aay of hie own."

this city of the famous laughter pro
ducing eomedy, "Skipped by the Light
of the Moon, a play that can lay claim to
the largest and most successful run of
all the funny plays ever produced, and
whioh is everywhere greeted by crowd
ed audiences who receive ; the comic
situations of the play with shrieks of
laughter and enthusiastic applause. The
New York Times savs :
"The dialogue fairly .bubbles with
puns, be it said, a number of them are
really capital; the action of the pieoe is
very rapid, and in the second act, where
the two principals are chased by a
policeman about and through an oyster
shanty on the lawn at Saratoga, the
business and the execution are worthy
the best invention of the Hanlon Broth
ers in 'Le Voyage en Suisse.' - It is in
this constant change of action, rapidity
of movement, that the interest of the
audi noe is never allowed to oease and
seldom to flag.

The President was better today and
presided at the regular eabinet meeting.
Ex-Gov. Thomas J. Jar vis and wife
arrived in the eity last night from New
York and are now at the Metropolitan
Hotel. I called upon them this after
noon and had a pleasant interview. The
governor is looking remarkably well,
though somewhat thinner. Mrs. Jar vis
has improved more than the governor
by her stay in a warmer climate. They
sailed from Rio en the 10th of Novem
ber and reached New York last Friday.
The governor says the first he heard of
the elections in. North Carolina, was
when he reached the Barbadoes. where
he got eopies of New York and Wash
ington papers, and that the result was
qiite a surprise to him. He says he
left Brssil wearing summer elothes, and
struck a bliss ud at New York, where
he was forced into winter quarters. He
will remain here till Monday, when he
wilt start for home. f
Cant. Johnston got a bill through
the : House yesterday to pay Mr. C.
Dickey, late postmaster at Murphy, N
0 , the sum of $27 75. This was f,r
moneys lost that Mr. Dickey was in no
way responsible for. The Edmunds
electoral count bill passed the House to
day with some amendments, the mo-t
important one being that requiring the
presiding officers of the two houses (the
president of the Senate) to simply de
clare the result of the count; in other
words making his functions simply min
isterial. This afternoon Mr. Randolph
Tusker nude one of the strongest
epeeob.es of the session on the bill to es
tablish a department of agriculture ard
labor. He bitterly opposed it on con
stitutional grounds, holding that th-re
was no warrant in that seemingly for
gotten instrument for suoh a measure,
and that suoh a move only tended to in
creased oentralis?d power, and an aug
mentation of the burdens of the people.
In the course of his argument, in that
keen, high voioe of his, he asked
"What will this new eabinet offioer
do ?" when Col. Towles . suggested,
sotto voce, draw $3,000 more from the
people. "Yes," he says,, "as my
friend suggests, simplv draw $3,000
more from the people. Mr. Tucker
was very eloquent, rising, to the
height of the ocomon, and his follow
nitmbers fbeked around him, listening
wiih the utmost silenoe. He has evi
dently giveu the measure a heavy blow.
The grand jiry today brought in two
iuftetments against the negro brute
West, the assailant of Mrs. Page: one
for an assault with intent to oommit a
violent deed, aad the other with house
breaking. So the villainous ex clerk
of the land cmoe will be likely to get
his full deserts.
Col. , W. G. Moore has been appointed
chief of police here, whioh will likely
close the scandal originating under the
former chief Walker.
j Mr. Henderson was not at the Houe
today, being troubled considerably with
his eyes.:
: The members of our delegation called
oa Gjv- Jar fie today.
Mr. Horton, clerk to J udge Bennett s
committee, will arrive tonight.
Gen. Cox represented Gov. Scales at
the meeting last week of the promoters
of the permanent exposition here.

This morning at 9 o'clock, in th
Methodist church, the Rev. Dr. B. F
Dixon joined in holy wedlock Mr. John
J. Paris and Miss Bettie A. Burwell
The I waiters were as followrf! Miss Sallic
Burwell and Mr. Joe Paris; Miss Addie
Paris and Mr. T. N. Burwell; Miis
Lvira Fullerton and Mr. Charlie Lao

Bar well. The bride was attired in a
handsome grey traveling suit, and im
mediately after the ceremony she, witL
her happy groom, took the train for his
home in L9noir oounty, where they will
spend a week or more and return to
Oxford. B th the bride and the groua
were very dear to Oxford's sooiety,
const quently the presents received were
numerous and handsome.
The bridal pair and waiters came to
the church on sleighs. A glorious day
for a marriage was this; the earth in
her modest winter costume had donned
her bridal veil of purest white to meet
her lord the sun, who, with his gentle
warmth, kissed to tears his loving bride.
A happy time it was when the tinkling
sleigh bells and the merry marriage
bells mingled their sweet notes and
floated out up in the crystal brightness
of the growing day.
Good-bye "John" and good-bye
"Miss Bettie," but welcome Mr. aad
Mrs. Paris. Many and happy be your
days, and rolled far back out of fight
be the elouds of sorrow. A. F.

The colored element of the republican
party on yesterday, seemed jubilant
over the aoceptanee of Mr. J Rowan
Rogers' bond by the democratic board
of oounty commissioners. This is not
to be wondered at, The commissioners
allowed Mr. Rogers every chance to be
come sheriff They met to reosive the
bonds of the; county officials elect,
on Monday, five days ago, and
I imagine had it entirely in their
power to have rejected Mr. Rogers' bond
as insufficient on that day and closed the
ease against him.. But instead of so
doing, they have given him time from
day to day to rake among the ashes to
make up the required sum. It was a
ease of great magnanimity, one that is
not often surpassed, and doubtless
Mr. Rogers feels grateful therefor.
