Daily Mail from Cairo 10 MayfieDd.

A petition addressed to the Postmaster
General, praying the establishment OF "a
daily mail between Cairo and Mayheld,
via Blandville, is being circulated for
signatures. The petition sets forth that
the constantly increasing business OF
Cairo, and Ballard and Graves counties,
demands such service, and suggests a
two-horse hack as the means OF convey
ance.
We are glad to observe that leading
citizens OF Cairo and Kentucky are
interesting themselves in this matter,
and feel satisfied that if they can bring
the actual wants of the country to the
comprehension of the p. NJ, General, the
route will be established and the service
ordered. Such mail is certainly great
commercial necessity, and will sooner
or later prove entirely self'sustaining.

The Paducah tobacco fair, held on the
oath, drew to the city an immense crowd
Of strangers, and, II we are permitted to
judge from the Paducah papers, IL was an
immense success. There were one humid
red and sixty-eight entries.
It will be recollected that we conceded,
In advance, that the premium hid. at
this fair would outsell ours, and now that
Louisville knows what II required Of her,
we shall expect her to sell premium
hogshead that will lay Psducah In the
shade. .t
The price paid for the first prize hid
In Paducah was $225 per 100 lbs; but, to
employ the language Of Herald when
speaking Of the Cairo sale, tive don't
know who paid 1t. The editor of the
'Herald's' share Of the purse was proba-
bly, fifty dollars" The humbuggery
practiced In the sale OF these premium
hogsheads is well understood by pian.s
ers, but while 1t puts money in their peck.
cts Of course they have no cause to take
offense thereat.
The second premium hhd-bright wrap
per, sold for $751;; Bird premium, $s2, and
4th premium at$l5. .... ..-
The balance sold at about the same
prices as were obtained for tobacco of
like quality at Cairo. There were about
five hundred hogsheads on the breaks,
and It was thought that the whole would
be closed out to-day. s-

by unpleasant consequences. The In.

hearing and apprecia,lng on the part Of

music at the Atheneum, lat night, was

Night and Tonight.
The entertainment given by the Peak

last night, was Of the highest order, and
entirely surpassed the expectations Of
the most sanguine. The house was well

manifestations Of pleasure over what
they saw and heard.
The combination formed by these two
families presents unquestionable talent,
and versatility at once rare and sur
prising. As harpists, hoTnists. beit-ring-
ers or vocalists they are not equaled by
any troupe travelling, and we are graft
fed that our people indicated an appre-

the company another full house. Wher-

crowds of hearers, aud knowing them as
deserving artists, we are glad that In this

Health of School Children.

The Medical College of Middlesex,
Massachusetts, having for a long time
considered the influence public schools
on the health of children, authorized the
publication of the following facts as the
opinion of its members:
/. No child shall be allowed to attend
school before the beginning of his sixth
year.
2. The duration of daily attendance
including the time given to recess and
physical exercises-should not exceed
four and half hours for the primary
school five and half for other schools.
8. There should be no study required
out of .school-unless at High School; !;
and this should not exceed one hour
4. Recess time should be devoted to
play outside Of the school-room-unless
during stormy weather-and as this time
rightfully belongs to the pupils, they
sholld not be deprived of it except for
serious oticsises; and those who are not
deprived of it should not be allowed to
spend it in study; no child should ever

an entire session, andin primary schools
there should be more than one recess in
each session.
5. Physical exercise should be used in
school to prevent nervous and muscular
fatigue and to relieve monotony, but not
as muscular training. 1t should be prac.
ticed by both teacher and children in ev-
cry hour not broken by recess, and should
be timed by music, In primary schools
every half hour should be broken by
exercise, recess or singing.
g. Ventilation should be amply pro.
vided for by other means than by open
windows, though these should be used
in addition to special means during re
cess and exercise time.
Z. Lessons should be scrupulously ap
portioned to the average capacity of the
pupils; and in primary schools the SLATE
should be used more and the book less
and the instruction be given as much as
possible on the principal of ''object

Dem majority,

1t thus appears, i'll these great Com
monwcalths, which have more than one
third Of the population of the Union,
that there are twenty thousand more
Democrats than Republicans. This Is
allowing the majority they got in Indi-
ana last year, which they can not get
again. Had that State voted this fail it
would have given US 10000 majority.
Minnesota, which State gave GRANT n
majority, in 1868, of $4,000, was carried
this year by the Democracy, clecting
their Governor.
Illinois at the late election elected Al
Democrats and II Radicals to the Con
stitutional Convention. GRANTS ma
iority last fall was over $4,000.
West Virginia is Democratic by from
/ 200 to 1900. Last year GRANTS ma

Majorities,

.hdloIlueS, O"O ~
1t will be seen that with full vote in
1867 the Democracy carried the District
by majority of APT votes. In 1868
the Democratic vote fell off lab, while
the Radical vote increased LII, which
carried the District against us by ma
jority of S33 votes. At the recent cleo
ton the Democratic vote fell of l, ,436,
and the Radical vote 1859, which gave
the Radicals majority of $50 votes
a03 less than that of the previous year.
There is nothing in these figures cal
culated to discourage the Democracy
Next year we can, by rallying every, vo-
ter to the polls, elect a Democrat to Con-
gross from this District. 1t is Demo
cratic and can be made to count out that
way, provided the right man is nomina-
