There Is considerable inquiry among the
country people visiting Cairo for the horns
Of Texas cattle. Their immense length and
size appear to render them desirable for some
purpose, We know not what-certainly not
for powder horns. We received letter
from CrIttenden county, the other day, re-
quosting Us 10 forward to the writer at any
reasonable expense, n pair of these horns.
Not being In tho horn business just now, we

For Cairo and Its Cons~rus.

Tho Cairo Times speaking of the gentle-
men elected 90 Office on the democratic ticket,
expresses the hope that they will sever them
eelvcs from monopoles and powers whose
Interests are antagonistic TO Cairo"
This is a gratuitous insult to as good men as we
have in Cairo-men who think for themselves,
act for themselves and listen TO the dictation
Of no power under the skies.
Wonderfully solicitous, too has the editor
o. the Time become for the "interests' of
Cairo These men, now that they are pub
lie servants should stand out of the way of
the eity's progress, and refuse longer to DO
the tools Of "monopoles' that are hostile to
the "interests of the city,"
IL there is single man named on the dem
ocratic ticket who has not contributed ten
fold more to the advancement Of Cairo for
her moral and material welfare than the edi-
tor of the Times it is fine thing for that
individual that the voters Of Cairo didn't find
it on, before the day Of election, for, demo-
crat rs he was, they would have melted out to
him an ignomuiuus defeat.
The base and foolish insin uation that Mr..
Oberly IS unduly Influenced by powers an
tagonistc TO Cairo, is contradicted by nearly
every act Of his life during his residence in
Cairo. 1t will strike the careful reader of the
Bulletin who is familiar with Mr.. O's labors
for the city and her enterprises, with sstonish-
ment. We will venture to soy that the
Bulletin has, during its two months exis-
tence, devoted more space TO Cairo, Cairo
interests and Cairo concerns than any otler
paper ever did during period Of six months
We are, always was and always expect 10 DO
for Cairo and the people Of Cairo, and if the
editor of the Times will plant out for himself
like landmarks and be guided by them, in
stead Of bsaboring horrible monopolies that
have no existence outside of his Imagination,
he will enjoy the same appreciation Of con-
science IN that respect that the editor of the
bulletin always has enjoyed y y - elt'f s'e

Two or three times week large steamers ar
rive from New Orleans the decks crowded
with these long horned creatures, but they

No less than sixty or seventy thousand of
these cattle have arrived at Cairo during the

4 Strange, Sad Tale,

very singular but sad story comes to
sj.. from Illinois A few weeks since, Mrs.
Dorcne L. Smith, the wife of one of the
weaIthicst men III the west division of Chi
rlaa, was found lying in her cellar, ON a
bright Sunday morning, with her throat
cut from ear to ear. A knife by her side
did how it was done. The only cause for
this dreadful net was harsh treatment on
the pagt OF the lady's husband, who, with
his acquired wealth, had not succeeded in
7caniriug the habits of society or civiliZa-
ton. The sudden and awful death of her
mother made adeep impression upon her
daughter Jennie, the only one remaining
HI home; so much so that it is thought her
nind became affected. For several weeks
past hor health has percepGbly declined,
ana quite recently she became almost COM
pIeteig paralyZed. Indications pointed to q
system Of poisoning and, after much per
st1asion, the poor girl confessed that this
was The case. Net caring to live after the
decoase OF her mother, the unfortunate
girI had, ever since that sad event, been
taking different preparations of arsenic and
other poisons, with the object of ultimate
~ killing herself and the continued use OF
the drugs had finally induced paralysis.
der condition is now a very precarious one,
and il IL considered very doubtful whether
she can long survive. As she states, the
only motive for the commission of this
slow suicide, WAS q desire to Join hel
mother from whom sho had never before
been separated.

mflitonaire's Descendants Setting
aside his WiII-YnIe College Inter-
esteG.
In the Supreme Court of New York,
Francis T. Manice Smith has sued VIM. de
Forest Manice and others to set aside, in
whole on in part, the will of the late De
Forest Manice, of Hampstead, who died in
1862 leaving property in New York and
elsewhere valued ut over two millions of
dollars The testatoT makes certain be-
quests to his wife, mother, and his sons and
daughters to the extent of about one-quar-
ter Of the estate, and then he gives the rest
of his real and personal estate to his execu-
tors in trust during the lifetime of his wife,
with provision for her support and for other
purposes; and the surplus income is to be
divided into two parts; one to be invested
and accumulate during her lifetime, and tc
pay thereout ut her death 1000 to the
Trustees of Yale College. to be invested
and accumulate interest until principal and
interest shall amount to $50, 900; SO much
of the interest of which last sum is then
to be used by the Trustees, when required
to do So as will educate continuously one
person, who shall bear the testator's pa
lerual name and be lineal descendant
of his in all their courses collegiate and
scientific.
The viii then provides for an appraisal
Of the residuary personal and real estate
into twelve equal parts; three parts OF
which are given to each of his two sons,
VIM De Forest Manice and Edward Au-
gustus Manice; the net income of two parts
is given to each of his three daughters,
Mary G. Lockwood, Caroline Amelia Man
ioe, and the plaintiff, Frances NJ. Smith,
Tor their life, and at their death the share OF
each TO be divided equally among her chill
dfen, the net income to be accumulated
turing the minority of each, except neces-
,aty outlay for their support, and at q to
he paid to them with the accumulations.
In case either of the daughters should die
unmarried, she is authorized to dispose OF
her share by will.
