THE SECRET OF OUR EsTISY.--lIere-
toforc the citizens of Cairo have depended
for prosperity on tie geographical location
of their city. Look" they have said,
"at the rivers that flow by our wharves
they will make us great. Located in the
heart of the republic, the destiny of Cairo
has been determined by nature And,
with this fattering junction laid close to
their hearts, they have been waiting for
the prosperity they were too indolent to
labor for. But, in late days, they have
come to understand that nature helps
those who help themselves, and they arc
now active in works OF enterprise. They
have learned that there is mine of wis
dom in what Mr.. Gladstone said, on the
occasion of his installation us rector of
the University of Edinburg. "The noun

every side Of them the witness, and many
II Nne Of what are now morasses and her
moorlands blooming rs the rose, carries on
its face that il is in man and not in his
circumstances that the secret of his destiny
resides We are now in the possession OF
one of the opportunities to help ourselves
and should not let 1t so by unimproved
BY awaiting ourselves of it, we can dc
much to WOO to Us the prosperity which
has acted with US SO coquetishly. By neg
Letting it We shall prove ourselves unfit t.
enjoy anything but hope Of the good tm'
coming, but never to come in our day anc
generation. Let every citizen. then, wh'
appreciates the situation bestir himself
and endeavor to roll up for the Cairo ant
Vincenne: road, an enterprise nearly alliet
to our future prosperity, majorit.
that will prove that Cairo is aliv
and determined to take that plac
among the great cities of tn
, land to which she is justly entitled by he
unrivalled geographical position.

A COOP WoRD.-That very excellent
country paper, the Du Quoin Tribune, has
the following good word for Cairo:
ave are indebted to j. II. Moberly of
this city, for a copy of the st. Louis
Commercial Advertiser, in which is pub
lished q very interesting accoun. of
Cairo, and its trade. A part Of which we
shall publish next week. Our business
men are to q great extent Interested in the
prosperity of Cairo. the firm of which
j. ii. Moberly is senior, had an extensive
business trade with Cairo last year,
amounting in the aggregate to over thirty
thousand dollars. Cairo is our natural
market, and we are glad to know its fu-
ture is full of promise
SALT IN EoYPT.-An article from the
Du Quoin Tribune, published in another
column, will inform the public that q
profitable salt we'll has been sunk ut st.
Johns coal mines, near Du Quon. This
well was sunk by Capt. Halliday, of this
city, over year ago, and his failure to
utilize it Immediately has resulted, we
presume, as the Tribune says, from the
presence of lime, with which the brine is
impregnated. We have seen and examined
the specimens Of the salt, now in the pos
session of Capt. Halliday, and think them
of fine even superior quality.
THE Paducah Kentuekian is the wick.
eldest paper in Kentucky, and it is as mean
as wicked. We base this assertion on a
sentence contained in a late issue Of that
sheet After questioning the prediction
Of the BULLETIN that q hundred babies
will be born in this city within three
months, the Kentuckian adds: ave hope
the majority of them, as usual, may not be
tadpoles." Could anything be wickeder
or meaner than such cling" But it is
characteristic.
