Had the two days additional labor in.
voved in the exhibition for the benefit of the
orphan asylum not been imposed, the chill
drcn of the public school would have found
ut least II short interval of rest during the
present vacation. As affairs have turned out
however, they will return to their studies, next
Monday morning, rs much wcaricd rs upon
the day upon which they entered the vaca-
ton The round of christmas and new year :
festivities, six days devoted to the exhibition
and preparatory rehcarsals, have brought
them to this period; and in the two days
left, the writing of compositions and other
calls, which are of nature far from refresh
ing, are yet to be attended to. Thus, it is
seen, that the vacation has been n period of
labor and excitement, and not one of rest.
We suggest, therefore, if there is no consid-
cradle obstacle in the way, that our board of
directors lcngthen the vacation until
"Wednesday morning next, the 9Th of Janu-
airy. This interval devoted to n rccupera-
ton Of energy will send the little ones back
to their studies refreshed enlivencd and
buoyant What say our directors? The an
swer of the pupils we can ourselves divine.

OUTRAGE UpoN A pooE FAMILY.

An individual who gave his name as james
PARCEL, in company with two others, visited
the poor haunt of fatherlcss family on
Washington avenue, above Thirteenth, and
dcmcaned himself in style that secured him
the. character of "a devils broth ola villain
who would swear the cross from an ass
back Five dollars and fifteen cents formed
the sum total of the poor family's ready cash.
Tho fifteen cents was in the hands of one of
the children. FARRELL snatched this, and
commanded the mother to disgorgc any bal
ance she might have in her possession. 1t
was in vain that she plead poverty; that she
had taken shelter in that damp cellar, be.
cause other restitution. He would not re.
lent nor would his companions interfere to
prevent the outrage Securing the five dol
lars, he gave her cursing, when the party
left. The woman lodged complaint with
Squire Shannessy who committed Parroll to
the calaboose for his use of abusive language.
When h. serves out his time, he will, most
probably, he brought to account for taking
the womans money.
1t was urged that the woman bore u bad
character. Her appearance combattcd this
charge; but whether true or untrue, she i,
, entitled to exemption from outrage, and
Squire Shanncssy deserves thanks for hi
prompt yindication OF the law.

In order to secure patrons for the Evening
Bulletin in every family and business house
in the city we placed the price Of subscription
at fifteen cents per week. We felt ambitious
in the matter Of securing larger circulation
than ever enjoyed by any other Cairo paper (;
and although this end has been gained there
are yet large number of citizens who do not,
but should, take the paper. If it is to the ad-
vantage of city to have respectable daily
paper, it is the duty of every citizen to second
the efforts of those who would establish and
maintain it. In this view we ask citizens
who are not yet our patrons to hand their
names to the carrier rs regular weekly fifteen
cent contributors to the support of the Bull
letin.'

A CHASTITY JoKE.-A CHASTITY joke is
reported from New Orleans: a young
doctor of that city paid his addresses to
a lady, who, among other curiosities in
her parlor, had human skull, to which
the physician took q wonderful fancy
and repeatedly solicited her for it. Some
mornings since, he was agreeably sur
priscd by receiving from his young lady
friend beautiful looking pudding, with
her compliments. He sent it at once to
his room mate, an apothecary, with in
structions to have it for dinner that day.
A friend dropping in at meal-time was
invited to dine, and accepted, in conside-
ration of the fine pudding which was
promised. After the meat dinner the
pudding-which appeared very chef d.
guvre-was brought on, and the trio uni
ted IN praise of its excellence. Indeed,
they one and all asserted that there was
peculiarly agreeable favor about it,
which ono thoug ght lemon, another vanil-
Ia. The doctor insisted on replenishing
the saucers of his friends, and was about
to help himself second time, when he
struck with the knife hard substance.
Pushing bis explorations further, he fish
cd up, to his horror, grinning skull. the
very skull he had so often vainly impor-
tuned his lady friend to give him. That
dinner party adjourned with wonderful
rapidity, and with frightful exclamatons.
