Cairo, of course, is the muddiest, most I'M
poetical place in the world, except Napoleon,
Ark. Every town of any professions, except
Cairo, can boast of good hotel, some other
place suitable for stranger to spend the night.
Why do not the people of Cairo provide some
of those little convenences which are supposed
to belong to civilized communities? A gluri
Gus destiny may be in store for the city of
Cairo, but the population of the place should
elevate the hOte In which it is built, and estab-
lish a few Sabbath schools, or inaugurate some
other humane institution to improve the morals
Of the up.growing generation.
We clip the above Islander from communi-
cation which appeared in the Missouri Repub-
Hcan of Thursday morning last The author
very evidently did not get off the steamer here,
and either from ignorance or design, issued the
above libel The Ida Udndy, on which steamer
this communication was written, reached Cairo
on her last upward trip at about daylight and
remained at our levee but few minutes, and
the truth probably is that the correspondent
alluded to was asleep and unconscious Of his
whereabouts until some time after the Utndy
had turned her Prov toward st. Louis The
idea of comparing our city of II. 900 inhabit-
ants to Napoleon, which numbers but about
300, is a prodigious Misrepresentation. As for
hotels, Cairo is better supplied, both in guam
lity and quality, than is any city from st. Louis
to New Orleans. This Is 4 fact patent in the
mind of every informed man. The St Charles
Hotel cost its builders $500, 000, and in archi-
tectural appearance, and as managed, would
reflect credit on any city in the West or South.
Then we have the International, American,
Perry and Louisiana Hotels, all Of which are
carried on by enterprising gentlemen, who
understand their business and the tables Of all
well spread with palatable edibles, and the
rooms supplied with good beds and clean and
comfortable bedding. Instead Of being with
out one hotel in Cairo, we have full
a score, ard good ones, too. Had the cores
pondent stepped on shore he would have salts
fled himself that Cairo was being raised, and
on the day the Uondy was here the surface
of our Streets was as dry as that of any city in
the country. We have Sabbath schools in
abundance, and they are well attended, and
9 the morals of our uprising generation " will
doubtless be attended to better than were those
of our fair city's deft.mer
