Cairo periodically afflicted with tran
sient thieves-attributable, perhaps, to
police raids upon them In other cities.
As a general thing they do not industri-
ously follow their calling while In our
idst, merely "crackinga crib or emp
tying a till, now and then, to keep up
the supply. of spending money. But
they do operate on travellers arriving at
and departing from the city-a fact that
Is evidenced by the thefts on the cars
which we notice In another column.
Now, whether these rascals forage on
our people or not, they area very unde-
sirable class Of citizens, and should be
promptly busted. Their presence should
not be tolerated day. The cursings
their operations on travellers excite, fall
upon Cairo, and there are those who
will not disconnect them from the town.
1t becomes, therefore, a matter Of duty
upon the part OF our police, to
enforce the "vag'' act against
them, IL they cannot reach them
otherwise. They seek Cairo as "a city
ofrefuge," no doubt. Let them learn
tina. there Is "no rest for the wicked"
even ia Cairo.

d. I. Llnegar, Esq, Of this city. took
passage on the outgoing train night be-
fore last, his rob nlled by valuable gold
watch, and q signet and key dangling
at the end Of . valuable gold chain /.
Somebody on board the train took q fan
cy that the watch and chain were the
very articles he had been looking for,
and the result was that when Linegar
attempted to consult his time, at Jones'
boro, he found his time.piece and all It's
appendsges, gone. And an old Ken.
lucky gentleman, also q passenger, be-
thought him to feel for his money
about Eve hundred dollars, and n,irdbile
dictu, that was gone too! The watch
and fixtures were valued at $500.
The thief or thieves undoubtedly got
on board at Cairo, aud left the train at
Jonesboro, or one of the neighboring
way stations. The losses were published
at Jonesboro, and we understand that
the police there are on the lookout. We
are quito persuaded, however, that Lin
egar has had the last look at his watch,
and that the Kentucky gentleman has
parted for ayeD with his greenbacks.

Chenp Roo, and shoe Hou.c.

Messrs. Ellort, Haythorn q 20. have
built up a wholesale and retail boot and
shoe businessin Cairo, that speaks in the
most complimentary terms Of their merit
as dealers In that line, and their tact and
industry as traders. They enjoy advant-
ages over most Of the Wholesale houses Of
the northwest, which need not be made
public, but which show themselves In the
the prices at which they are enabled to
sell to retail dealers. There are very few
houses, either in st. Louis or Cincinnati,
which Messrs. E. II. & Co. cannot under.
sell, and the.invoices Of any northwest
ern house they are perfectly willing to du-
pllcate. In the retail line they preserve
all the usual features, keeping everything
de manded by the trade, and selling at
prices that cannot fail to suit. 1t

A mastery OF the German Is no longer
an accomplishment, but a business ne
cessity. No young man is fully qualified
to enter upon the realities Of life, until
he can speak and understand the Ger
man language.
The German School Of this city, In
charge Of Prof. Appel, presents rare in
ducements to parents who may desire to
submit their children to the care Of a
German teacher. His terms are very
reasonable, and the progress made by
his pupils Is most satisfactory. The
school will be continued, without inter
ruption, the entire year, thus affording
patrons Of the public school an opportu-
nifty for keeping their children at their
books during the present vacation.

they came in sight of land the brave men enter

counts for its appearance the surface by the

how high up he was. We have learned from other
sources that this monster Is not so mythical as
generally believed. The same has often been seen
before, but always In fresh wafer 1t IL known that
he is bred in the warm South American rivers and
1t is supposed that after attaining navigable size,
he betakes himself to the ocean, where he preys
upon the smaller members of the finny tribe. The
serpent mas no nns, so in this respect he cannot
be classed with any kind OF fish, and being
covered with scales the eels will not own him; so

any affinity at oil is the shark, and this only in re-

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

MONDAY, Nov. 2a-6 F. M.
The week opened with great excitement in the Gold
Room where the announcement OF the programme
OF secretary Boutwell, for the month of December
led TO decline in gold TO 121 Il, the lowest point
attained since September, 1882, when II was on the
ascending scale In the earlier days OF the war. The
weakness OF the market ever since the elimination
OF the corner two months ago has been the occa
sion OF great uneaslness In mercantile circles, par
ticularly among the importers, to whom the iucia-
tions OF gold are OF go vital Importance. The Gold
Room was therefore the scene OF great attraction
this morning, and the same class OF business men
who before were interested In the fell machina-
lions OF the clique that carried the premium beyond
all reasonable bounds were again watching the
revolutions OF the pointer on the gold index. Then
they were concerned because in making payment
for goods bought earlier In the season they were
forced to buy gold at an immense advance upon she
Drlee when their purchases were made. Now they
were equally concerned because the decline In gold
not only obliterated all margin OF profit but en-
croached upon the original price far as to threaten
serious loss If not bankruptcy. The opening price
IN the Gold Room was l23. from which 1t ran down
rapidly to 121s Here turned upon the report that
Mr.. Stewart and other prominent merchants had
teegraphed TO Secretary Boutwell, that II he
did not cease his gold sales there would
be q panic which would ruin the importers.
We give the report for what it Ia worth.
No Wall street seemed capable OF verifying 1t,
but probably Washington dispatches tonight
will give the result OF any such application TO the
Secretary OF the Treasury should have been made
At The same time there was q disposition to buy
gold for the purchase OF exchange. the combined
effect OF which was to cause o reaction to l227s.
There was also some covering by the 'shorts I" the
statement OF the Gold Bank showing total Of over
twenty one millions OF gold cleared on Saturday.
The market closed strong at 1924 1925 at half
past five O'Clock this evening; but holders are still
very sensitive as to the future. The programme OF
Secretary Boutwell, contemplates the sale of eleven
millions during the month OF December, and as the
disbursements Of the Treasury the 1st OF January
In the payment OF the coin interest on the public
debt will be about thirty-ive millions. and as
the banks in this city now hold thirty millions OF
gold the prospect Is that there will be gut Of the
precious metal at the beginning OF the new year.
The speculative feeling for rise ls very tame one,
and at the same time few have the courage to sell
gold ''shortn after 80 great decline. Looking at
the market from the Wall street standpoint, 1t Is
really weaker than If the speculation was as active
when the ''bullsn 1naugurated their campaign last
summer, for the reason that the diminished volume
OF operations creates less demand for gold. The
range OF gold since the suspension OF specie pay
