PREVALENT DIsEAsEs,-Scarlet fever
and chicken-pox are both said to be
very prevalent among the children of
Virginia and Gold Hill at the present
time.-Ners Of yesterday.
We have heard Of no cases of small
pox in this city during the past ten
days: neither have we heard of q case
of the scarlet fever.-Enterprise Of this
morning.
We don't exactly know what "preva-
lent disease" makes Dan so blind, or
keeps him from being better posted.
We didn't say there was any ssmall-
pox" about; we said chicken-pox, and
still stick to it. On the authority Of
Chief Downey, however, we will in
form him that there IS one new case OF
something which comes very near
being smallpox, in that city, today,
and several of c~hicken-poX. AS to
scarlet fever, we know of two cases OH
+ street. and Frank OSbiston, Secre-
tary of the Yellow Jacket mine, has
barely recovered from 4 severe dose OF
it. Frank. however, can hardly be
reckoned among "children," as he
"got his eye teeth cut numerous
years ago.

THE GREAT RACE!
The Crowd and EH ei &c m ait In Cairo.

The extraordinary excitement and en-
thusiasm occasonod by tic race between
the Lee and the Naechez is quite as remark
able rs the race itself, or the matches
time made by the Lee The excitement in
all the river towns was intense In Cairo
two or three thousand persons lined the
river banks, and for m interval of three or
four hours anxiousIy awaited the coming
of the boats. The Armada and Baker, from
Paducab and the IdlewiI from Evans
vile, came down full of people, the first
and last named boats passing down the
Mississippi that the passengers might en-.
JOY the thrilling spectacle presented by
THE CoSTENDISa STEAMERS AT FULL
SPEED.
Two cannon were planted at old Fort
Cairo, and as the Lee made her appearance
in the bend below, they were fired in rapid
succession about forty times.
BY the time piece that governed our OBJ.
servations, the Lee came in sight at pre-
cisely 8 o'clock, and arrived at u point in
the Mississippi on line with the Ohio le-
Voc at dl2. She fastened on to the coal
bargcs anchored ont for her and started
ahead again in exactly three minutes.
The Idlewild, which 10 one of the fastest
boats on the Ohio river, ran out to
the Lee to take of few passengers
and, although she was constantly putting
in her "best lcks' the Lee fairly lowed
her
The Natchcz came in sight ut ten min
utcs past o'clock, and gained the point
opposite the city, in fourteen minutes,
placing her one hour and twelve minutes
behind the Lee. When she passed the
head of Thir,y.sccond street she was IS
minutes behind the Lee, having lost, six
minutes in passing the bar, about five miles
up the river.
The Lee arrived at st. Louis at ll:l4, o
M, on Monday, making the extraordinary
time Of three days, eighteen hsurs and
fourteen minutes from New Orleans to 81.
Louis.
The Natchez did not arrive at ST. Louis
until 5;i5 p. IN. Of the same day, and /, re-
ported to have had extraordinarily bad for
tune in the way of fogs and running
aground. Something Of this kind must
have occurred to dctain her, since she was
only one hour and twelve minutes behind
tho Leo "A, Cairo
