the police among the bad things that
afiict the city government He cannot be
q wsll.posted citizen, or h" would know
that We have now only two policemen in
tho city and that they are very competent
offces, ~ the number Of arrests made by
them will verify. BY their efforts the
calabooso Is kept full Of offender against
the ordinances, and the city obtains very
eficiont street laborsrs for very small

by the much larger forces Of former years

colder yesterday, as the Thermometer in

and was again below the freezing point
last night with prospect Of colder weather
than yesterday.
The Mississippi has IL channel depth
below Cairo Of nine feet. Navigation is
suspended above this city in that river, on
account of both low water and ice, al
though no gorges are reported.
The Ohio rise attained channel depth
Of Is feet, but dispatches received here
by Capt. w. p. Halliday state that the
river was falling with fifteen feet in the
channel. The coal feet would all leave
yesterday and to-day, and it is hoped
the scarcity Of coal will soon be over. The
extraordinary price Of coal below Cairo
has naturally increased the rates Of freight
and tho loss therefore is not confined to
steamboats,. 1t is worthy Of special men
ton that the coal of the Cairo City Coal
Co, at this place, has been sold at the same
price as before the coal famine-forty
cents per box-until an increase of the
rate por car load WAS forced upon them by

DYING For MEN.-Ths life Of q river
man.is one Of danger, in which may DO dis
played all the magnanimous and brave
traits OF character that mako men heroes.
occasionally, We find among those who
follow this arluous calling q heartless and
brutal man like Captain Washington, but
nearly all Of them, bluff and rough as they
are, have kind, brave hearts, and seldom
hesitate to put in peril their own lives to
save the lives Of other men. For instance,
in the disaster which destroyed the steam.
er 1T. L. Gill;" the captain acted the par,
Of hero, and by remaining upon the
wreck TO give aid to the terror-stricker
passengers, lost his life. This fact calls e
