of the Ohio and Mississippi and the town built
on the delta of land which is frequently below
the level of the rivers, have been too often de-
scribed to need a repetition here. Cairo has the
worst reputation for morals of any town on the
Mississippi River except Napoleon,in Arkansas
The stories which ars detailed of the frequent
murders, robberies and all sorts of criminal off
streets even by daylight. The statements ofthe
multitude of assassinations committed, are very
likely exaggerated but it seems generally con.
coded to be imprudent for stranger to walk the
streets by night unprotected. A mere glance at
the long row of drinking saloons along the levee
in which are congregated in the day time. crowds
of dirty, hard featured vagabonds, is enough to
satisfy any one, the town is stepped in crime
There are some good citizens in Cairo, who
have made attempts to relieve the town of its bad
name, by the establishment of large police force
But the swarms of boatmen on the Ohio and the
Mississippi, who are thrown together here, rem
der any reform almost hopeless. This is point
where many boatmen who have come down the
Ohio and the Mississippi ARE discharged by their
employers they rush into the drinking houses
madden their brain with liquor, and then are
ready for any deed of darkness. Cairo has one
excellent institution, the St. Charles Hotel; the
size and style of the building would do credit to
any large city it is high priced, as not TO be
patronized by the common run of vagabonds,
and person within its walls may enjoy quiet
and apparent safety. No city anywhere in the
interior of the Union, appears on the map more
favorably situated for business than Cairo; it
is favorably located for the trade of the Missis-
sippi and the Ohio and their tributar les. Steam
ers are constantly arriving and departing, which
makes business on the levee active In addition
to the water communication, the town has the
advantages of railroad lines-the Illinois Cen
trail and its branches centering here besides
road on the Kentucky side running into that
State, and still another on the Missouri side, Pc
netratng the interior. Yet with all these trav-
cling facilities, the St. Charles Hotel does not
pay expenses; the reputation of Cal no is such,
that travellers arriving by steamboat or railway,
pass through as quickly possible, holding their
hands on their pockets, provided they possess
anything worth protecting. The business of the
town is almost wholly with the steamboats,; this
trade is large-one man has stable under the
levee eff eighty COWS, kept exclusively for sup
plying the steamboats, with milk. Yet this large
dairy does not furnish all the milk sold to the
boats at this place Cairo is in more southern
latitude than large portion of the slave terrific
ry of the Union. Delaware and Maryland are
entirely north of the latitude of Cairo, also much
the largest portion of Missouri, Kentucky and
Virginia.

Strength of Douglas in Illinois.

The Douglas politicians take great
pains to make it appear, their favorite
candidate has great popularity in the
Northwest and especially in Illinois.
The Chicago Tribune publishes from the
official canvass of 1858 the,vote on mem
bers Of the Legislature, when Douglas
and Lincoln were before the people as
candidates for the U. S. Senate. The
footing of the table shows, Mr.. Lincoln
to have receivd 1925 votes against
12l, 100 for Douglas-majority for Lin
coin 4,os5. The election in Illinois in
1858, was warmly contested one, and
it is idle to presume that Lincoln is less
popular in that state now that he was
two years ago.
Again, in 1858 in Illinois, the Republi-
can candidates for state Treasurer, and
for Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton, were elected-the former 1921 ma.
jority, and the latter by 2,143 majority.

STREAMS OF WATER.

Stree ans of water, large or small, are
not frequent in Southern Illinois; steam
power is relied upon for driving mills
and machinery. Steam here would be
cheaper than water power, even were
the latter abundant coal and wood be.
ing plenty and cheap. Wells of water
for drinking, are not uniformly good
some being regarded excellent others
indifferent. The original settlers here
being from the southern States, the
practise of using rain water for drinking
purposes was resorted to here, because
that had been their common practice
south.
Very many of the northern settlers
here, drink cistern water altogether.
Where cisterns are constructed as they
should be, this kind of water is most
congenial to health in any climate. The
best cisterns here, are made twenty feet
deep, with proper safe guards for keep
ing the water clean and pure. A few
days use, habituates a person to the
drinking of cistern water, so that it is
often preferred to we'll water.

THE CATTLE DISEASE The Massachusetts,
cattle disease continues to excite much discuss
ion and apprehension Of spreading ultimately
over the entire county. Scientific men are try
ing to determine its cause, and of course great
solcitude is felt by all stock growers, to have a
preventive found out. The Massachusetts, Leg
islature have taken such action as the exigences
of the case appear to demand, and doubtless 9TH
err States will adopt precautionary measures
should the contagion continue to increase. A
Massachusetts paper speaks Ofthe disease as fol-
lows -
1.-THE disease, in its appearance and effects,
resembles pleuro- pneumonia, which is 1naama-
ton of the lining membrane of the lungs, extern
ding to the substance Of the lungs themselves
The popularity of it is that it is either infectious
or epidemic, and moves in the atmosphere, like
cholera, yellow fever OF the plague. 1t appears
to be kindred disease with murrain, the old
and well known plague Of kline which Moses de-
scribes as one of the ten plaques ofEgypt-i
ments on Pharaoh"

PATENT MTtKER.-The last number
Of The ScieH,.fs american has descrip-
tion and figures of patent cow-milker.
The operator works two handles, sort Of
pump fashion and the milk flows in Jets
81 the win Of the mixer, as in milking
by hand. Il strikes us that the machine
whereby the chief managers Of the dem
Ocratic party have drawn contributors
from the ofice-holders, far and near, to
feed their betters, must be some such
contrivance, with handles long enough to
reach from one end Of the nation 10 the
other. There must be one difference,
though. The cows are said to like the
operation of their milking machine. The
ofiiee-holders, we take il, yield their milk
only on compulsion. But "let down
your milk or 60 to the butcher" is the
alternative proposed, and of course they
give in.

How SHE MTssEp IT.-A renarka-
bic instance Of the diversion into philan.
thropic channels Of an immense fortune
is given in a scrap OF secret history
respecting Thos. Grey, the founder Of
the hospital al Southwark, Eng, bearing
his name. We are told thai Grey had
f,cmed a matrimonial engagement with
bis servant girl, and jus, previous to the
wedding day had ordered the pavement
before his door to be mended, marking
s pSrticulsr stcne as the favshest hnii
of the proposed repairs. Iiis hsaeee,
noticing portion Of the pavement let,
unrepairea. called tlTe sttentiea Of the
workmen to It, and was told that Mr.,
Grey had forbidden them TO extend their
operations SO far. The Cir. presassaae
upon her supposed power over her lover,
ordered the workmen to continue their
lsbors and added, Tell him | bade You,
and he viii net get angry But she had
reckoned without her host for Grey, on
pereeiving that change had been made
in his positive orders, involving an add
tional outlay Of tew shilliags, Ienoun-
ced has intention of marrying sae girl.
and at the age of seventy-six years
formed the design Of building the hospi-
tal referred to. In erecting the structure
he expended nearly one hundred thous-
and dollars, and to endow 1t he lsft the
further and munifcent sum of eleven
hundred thousand dollars. An idea OF
his wealth may be obtained from the fact
that beides ssskiRg many Of his relatives
happy with annsities, and giving large
sums to various charities during his life,
be bequeathed nearly half million
dollars to be divided among all who
could prove themselves in any degree
related tc him. History is mute respee-
ting the matter in which the slmost bride
bore her disappointment. There is no
evidence, however, of her having played
the ieToine's part in an Efiie Cars.ang
melo-drama, nor are we told whether the
indignant cid gent left tlse lesss legacy as
salvo for her wounded pride. All we
knew is, that the assumption Of mistress

To PUT UP CUcUMBERs, MELONS,
TOMATOES, PEACHES, &c, ron Pick
LISG.--As good vinegar is not always at
hand, the best way is to prepare brine
in a tub or barrel, and save yeur pickles
as they grow. The brine should be made
Of common salt and water. and strong
enough TO bear an egg. When the tub is
full Of pickles, allow the brine to cover
them; then cover them over with cab
bage leaves, aud board and weight TO
keep them in the brine.
They should be soaked in fresh water
three days and nights before using to ex-
tract the salt, frequently changing the
water. The great ART in making good
pickles is to have good vinegar. The
best vinegar for picking is made Of apple
cider. After your pickles are sufficient
ly soaked, put them in a brass kettle
with vinegar enough to cover them, and
scald fifteen or twenty minutes. put them
IN jars, and pour hot vinegar over them /;
flavor with cloves. black pepper, an onion
or two, and little horse radish and GIN
ger. For making mangoes, the filing
should be made Of nasturtiums, small
beans, small cueumbers, onions, white
mustard, horse-radish, allspice, black
pepper, mace, cloves and ginger; tie up
tea-eupful Of lurmeric, and put in n jar
after being stuffed and tird up, they are
made a. cucumber pickles.
