Americans can claim, without fear of sue.
cessful contradiction the honor of many
of our most useful machines for saving time,

broad assertion. Citizens of the United
States are, without doubt, the greatest prac-
ticsl inventors and discoveries on the face of
the globe. One article alone would give
them this glory-we mean the sewing
machine. just now We speak of the last
one introduced to our community, the Par
ham, which was decorated with the bonnie
blue ribbon at the last fair, as it possesses
sll the fine combinations found in other
machines, and that is saying q great deal,
for we do not assert that other machines
are worthless. Our fellow citizen, W. b.

elected member of the Legislature, in this
wise: Previous to the election, the Captain
and certain Doctor 'Arris resolved them
selves into mutual admiration association,
and pledged themselves to stand by each
other through thick and thin. The glo.
rious result was that each party received
two votes.
But it requires no votes to get into bar

the consequences, alas, are an obnubilated
condition of the sensorium, and relaxation
of fexors and tendons, producing an inca

This was the Captains sad case. As

posing 'shis head upon the lap of earth"
forgetting mundane things in an elysium OF

On appearing before the Recorder next
morning. the captain defended his case with

more than two votes at the last election.
His honor listened, was touched, gave some
eloquent advice in return for the captains
eloquence, and then babe him 60 and sin no
more. Which he wont-until next time.

July will be celebrated in the parish of JEFF

will be delivered at Freetown by Colonel
Charles w. Lowell and George Grindley.
The character of these speakers as Republi.
cans is such that we know the anniversary
Of the Declaration of Independence will be
properly celebrated there. The people of
Jefferson, right bank, have gone to great
expense on the national event, and they are
determined to get up as good celebration
on that day as any parish in the State OF
Louisiana. We hope the people of Orleans
parish will take the same interest in the
matter, and show to the friends OF freedom
that the South appreciates the devotion OF
one day in the year to the anniversary OF the
time when Hancock, Jefferson, Franklin,
Adams and Livingston wrote the document
which is going to be celebrated.

The return of Alderman Theobold from
his European tour, was announced several
days ago. His many friends greeted him
warmly, and at night a fine band visited
his residence and complimentcd him with
u scrcnadc.
When, something over five months ago,
he took leave of his friends in Cairo, many
of them regarded the parting final one,
believing that Mr.. 4. was suffering from
u well advanced attack of consumption.
He had scarcely struck the shores Of his
"fathcrland, however, before his health
commenced improving. lie is now sound
as nm old Democratic silver dollar-as
hardy, energetic and vivacious us ever.
lie takes his seat in the city council again,
invigorated in both mind and body, and
ready 10 assume the labors and perplcxitics
of legislating for his ten thousand fellow
ctizcns. We congratulate him on his re-
stored health and safe return, and the city
upon the presence Of another official who
knowing his duty, darcs to perform it.
The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1870-06-04

A grand, general Fourth Of July cello
bration is thing unknown in the history
of Cairo. II has always occurred that
some society or organization has taken the
lead. Other societies and organizations,
unwilling to follow, have held separate
celebrations; and thus, from the earliest
period Of our history, independence day
has been observed by one portion Of our
people in one place. and another portion In
another. One fire company would hold a
picnic in the Kentucky groves; another
would 90 off on steamboat
excursion picnic parties would visit Villa
Ridge, Birds Point and Mound City,
leaving tho town quiet and almost de-
serted.
We IRE no, prepared to say that a general
celebration in the city would be pleasanter,
but in common with many Others, we
should like to make the experiment. A
union of all our forces would furnish a
big crowd, a snowy procession, etc, etc,
and n union Of all our takers! Well, OK.

Louis IIOI'Ck. ESQ.

This gentleman, late of Cairo and of tho
bar ofthis country, has taken up his resi-
dcnce in Cape Girardeau, Mi.eIri, where,
we are pleascaa 10 observe, he is building
up ~h extensive and lucrative practice.
Although quite young man, Mr. Houck's
legal and literary attainments are of the
highest order. He is theauthor of several
law-books--onc upon navigablc streams
that ARE justly regarded as among the very
best authorities upon the subjects upon
which they treat During the
past year he has devoted himself
to the compilation and reproduce
ton Of the Missouri law reports (for years
out of print and, although his work is
only about half done, his success has
stamped him as one of the most indefat-
iguable workers, and correct compilcrs in
the profession. The reports will comprise
sixteen large volumes, every one of which
will bear, not only Mr.. Houck's name, but
the Empress of his well-balanced and
searching mind. He is already we'll
known throughout Southeast Missouri,
and has clients in almost every county
within n hundred miles of his place of res
idence. Being ambitious, he has probably
placed the goal to the race he runs, high,
but hc will reach IL before single hair Of
his head is silvered by age. Mark the pre-.
diction.
