EXCITEMENT AT CAIRo.-A gentleman from
{ riro was in this city yesterday, and he in
.5!Ined US that there has been for several
days considerable excitement in the metro
polls of Egypt. Some time last week two
free negroes were kidnapped and carried
over to Missouri; one Of them escaped and
returned to Cairo and gave information of
the outrage. On Sunday night when the
two negroes were at church an assault was
made upon them, aud after a disgrareful
scene, they fled their church. Next day
three men named j. Q. Stancil, Thos. Ewing
and - Cation, were arrested. On Tuesday
they were examined; Ewing was held to
bail for being concerned in the riot of Sun
day night, and all three were held to bail to
answer the charge of kidnapping. The ex-
element against the kidnappers was great.
On the same day warrant was sued out
against two of the negroes Of Cairo, under
the laws prohibiting the immigration OF ne
groes into the State, and they were fined.
The fines were paid, ,-leH tie entire negro
population Of Cair0 teft t0lra, and moved
up to Mound City, in Pulaski county.
The excitement did not terminate here.
Ii appears that some months ago, 4 man
named Woods had made some disgraceful
statements about lady in Cairo, and to es-
cape public violence run off Subsequently
at St. Louis he put his statements in the
for OF an affidavit
While the town was excited about the
kidnapping affair, this case of Woods (who
had returned to Cairo was brought up.
Preparations were made to tar and feathe r
him, but to prevent such a result he was
advised to leave, which be did in a hurry.
1t will hardly be safe for him to return to
Cairo for some time.

Provision FOR MORMON FAMILy.-Rev.
Hebcr c. kimball, distinguished deacon
in the Mormon church, at Utah, in a late
sermon, told his hearers how to multiply
themselves till they couldn't count their
progeny, as follows:
"It now takes about one thousand bush
els of wheat to bread my family one year,
and want to lay up six thousand for each
year of the seven for which l calculate to
store it up. Reflect upon the probable in
crease of my family within seven years ::
they alone will be almost numerous enough
to people a small city. Where family now
requires only hundred bushels year, let
the head of that family lay up hundred
bushels the first year, two hundred the next,
and increase the amount every year in pro-
portion to their probable requirements"
In the same sermon, he enlightened the
brethren upon the sinfulness Of mans
combining himself to one woman, and the
damage of such abstemiousness from the
fair necessarily worked to health and COM
fort, after this fashion:
81 would not be afraid to promise a man
who is sixty years of age, if he will take
the counsel Of Mr.. Brigham and his breth-
rem, that he viii renew his age. l haze no.
tced that man who has but one wife, and
is inclined to that doctrine, soon begins to
wither and dry up, while a man who goes
into plurality looks fresh, young and spright-
ly. Why is this? Because God loves that
man, and because he honors his work and
word. Some Of you may not believe this,
but also know it. For man of God to
be confined to one woman, is small business;
for it is as much as we can do now to keep
under the burdens we have to carry, and
do not know what we should do if we had
only one wife apiece"

JUSTICE ~ CmCAGo-The T7GSs relates
tie case Of one George Reed, hauled ~ fo-
passing counterfeit money on cigar yender
1t was proved by Baldwin, the cigar vender,
that Reed gave him SO counterfeit, City
Bank Of New Haven, so counterfeit Sen
eca County Bank, and s. counterfeit Una
dilla Bank, in exchange for genuine western
bank bills, as Mr.. Baldwin wished eastern
money. It was apparently close case FIR
3Ir. Reed, but he proved himself to have
stolen the bills fIom a comrade, thus show
ing that he supposed them to be good, and
it was no larceny at all, as Tic Law does not
consider counterfeit bills in the light Of pro-
perty at all. So the thief got free after re
funding to Mr. Baldwin his money, while
Matthews, MS coInrade, is held for having
the bills in the first instance. The further
examination Of the case viii take place TO-
day.
This reveises the old common law and
common sense rule that the intent, and not
the act constitutes the crime.

THE Pill TRApE.-Who could dream Of
the magnitude Of such an undertaking as
the manufacture Of a purgative pill assumes
when it comos into general use. And how
painfully do the following numbers speak Of
the amount Of human sickness aud suffering,
that little morsel of a remedy goes forth to
combat and subdue. DE-. j. G. AVER of
Lowell, manufactures in his laboratory forty
gross per diem of his cathartic Pills, through
all the year This is eight boxes minute or
one dose second. We thus find over 49,,
900 persons swallow this pill every day, or
l ,296, 900 month, Physicians, tank OF
that 1900 patients day who seek relief
from the medical skill Of one man. Surely
that man should be, as ne is in this case one
of the first intelligence and of the highest
character. His occupation entails upon him
a fearful responsibility for the veal or woe
of his fellow man.-PainsrHe Courier.

Indian Outbreak in Minnesota.

Telegraph dispatches in the Chicago pa
pers on Thursday, from ST. Paul, state tina t
an express had that day arrived from the
Sioux agency, with intelligence that re-
newal Of hostilities by the InIians was una
voidable. 10000 Indians were around the
agency, defying the L. s. troops The set
tiers were flying to the forts for protection.
The difficulty arose from the refusal Of the
agent to pay the Indians their annuities, IN
til they should comply with Gov. Medary's
demand to surrender the men who recently
murdered the settlers on Spirit Lake, and
shameiully treated and finally killed the f.
male capiiyes Governor Medary was at
the agency endeavoring to preserve peace,
but sustains the agent in refusing 10 pay
the annUities.
II was believed at 81. Paul, however, that
statement that ten thousand warriors were
gathered must be an exaggeration. But the
I. s troops q. that point are not numerous,
and the Indians are strong enough to justify
serious alarm.

Be WISE IN TIME.-How many are there
who, afflicted with disease in an incipient
stage, delay from time to time having re-
course to some remedial agent, which would
effetually arrest the further progress of dis
ease, and render the system impregnable to
its nsidious attacks 1t is unfortunately to o
true-there are thousands who sink into an
early grave-whereas at a triiiing expense
they might have lived to good old age. If
there be reliance to be placed in medicine,
and thousands of well attested cases establish
beyond the possibility of doubt, the cura-
tive properties of any one particular remedy
then Hurley's Sarsaparilla is unguestionab y
the greatest medicine ever introduced to an
afflicted community. Hesitate not, there
fore, to use it, if suffering from any of the ills
which flesh is heir to.-HeraM (GaZceston,

There is nothing of especial importance
from Kansas. The prompt, movement OF
Gov. Walker to suppress the reasonable
proceedinfis of the the hotheads in Lawrence
brought them quickly to their senses, and
they backed down incontinently. They beg
off by saying they meant no harm. All
they wanted was to get city organization
to enable them TO clean their streets, &c
What need there was, however, for such a
! simple purpose, TO swear their officers and
voters to support the Topeka constitution,
and thus set the regular government at de-
fiance, they fail satisfactorily to explain.
\ letter in the St. Louis Republican writ
. ten from the "seat of war" gives no doubt
accurately the probabilities Of the issue of
/ the reasonable movement in Lawrence, the
/ state of feeling there, and the excuses by
which they attempt to gloss over and back
out of their rebel!ious proceedings. The
( letter, after mentioning Gov. Walkers arri-
val with the troops before Lawrence, and
that Gov. Walker and suit had entered the
town ard conversed freely with the citizens,
proceeds:
Their impression Chat OF Gov W and
suit was that Lawrence would leave in, "
unhesitatingly; that the movement which
had led to the calling out of the L. S. forces
was so contemplate in itself, that no militia
~ aid was needed for its suppression, that
out of the 600 voters in the town, not In ore
than 100 were found to vote in favor of the
charter, whilst 80 voted against it, and that
none Of the officers elected under the new
scheme of organization would be found fool
hardy enough to dare the tees of the gen.
eral Government, by attempting to put the
Municipal laws in force. They were even
informed that none of the city officers had
been sworn in, that they had not even re-
ceived their certificates of election, and that
the o. ly purposes of the proceeding so
promptly condemned by the Territorial au-
thorities, were the removal of dead offal
from the town and its neighborhood, and
the location of q site OF a bridge across the
Kansas river. Now, whilst giving credit for
good intentions TO the citizens Of Lawrence
in this movement, am compelled, per force
TO say that the requirement contained i'll
their charter for every city officer elected
under it to take an oath TO support the Con-
stitUtion ''Of the State" (Which is absurd }
anu oil the nIteu states, was hardly necCS-
sary as 4 qualification in the procuring OF
the removal of dead dogs, cats and horses,
and in determining the site of bridge, and
it seems 10 me very much like dodge, and
a very wretched dodge at that. 1t certainly
failed to convince the Governor Of the harm
leSsness Of the intentions which led to the
proceeding, for he ordered the troops to
cross the river forthwith, which they did
with the utmost alacrity, and encampcd
abou: quarter Of Nile above the town,
on the river.

THE LAWYER AND THE JocKEY.-The Bos-
ton Fleming Transcript has been telling
some anecdotes about members of the Mas.a-
chusetts bar, and among them this
a jockey having once consulted Harris
Gray Otis in horse case, the latter sent him
bill of $50 for advice. The client expos
tulated, but Mr.. OTIS explained to him so
fully and SO blandly the reason Of such a
charge-how he had spent years at study
and thousands OF dollars on fitting himself
10 advise on such matters-that the jockey
was obliged to capitulate and pay the bill.
Not long afterward, Mr.. OTIS was standing
in the street examining horse that he tho t
of purchasing, and seem, his client passing,
called him up aad asked him what he tho I
ofthe animal. The jockey sat his hat aslant,
examined him on all sides, pronouncing his
opinion dogmatiCaiiv, ~~S .i.v, I-l-l t.;s
hand for the fee. 1t was Nr. OTIS turn now
to expostulate, but it was all in yain-our
Jockey recounted TO him at what cost Of time
and money he had fitted himself for judging
horsehesh, and ended by saying: " Come,
come, Mr.. Otis, professional men must be
paid my charge is oyly twenty dollars. -
Mr.. Otis apr eciated the joke and paid the
bill

NEBRASKA SALT.-Mr. \. j. Davis, for
merly Of this county, but now residing in
Lancaster county, Nebraska, has shown US
a specimen of salt manufactured there, that
is destined to work a revolution in the salt
trade The water from which the salt is
made is obtained from two large springs
and we are informed that sufficient quanti-
ties can be obtained to supply the whole
country with this Indispensable article
Three pounds of salt can be made from two
gallons of water, and in addition to this fact,
the quality Of the salt is pronounced, by
competent judges, to be twenty per cent.
better than that of Syracuse or Kanawka.
These springs are located on stream called
Salt Creek, thirtytyfve miles from Platte
mouth, No. Two companies-with capt.
ia, of 800, 900 each-have been organized,
and we may expect in year or two to re-
ceive our supplies of salt from the west in
stead of the east. Such is the desire to OBJ
tain shares in these companies that in some
instances they have been sold at an advance
of four hundred per cent -Pekin Register.
