EDITOR CAIRO BULLETIN Again we
have some news that we believe worthy Of
space in some city paper, such as will be
read with interest, no doubt, by your many
intelligent readers.
Carbonate, and, in fact the whole Of
Jackson county, is having what the people
have been pleased to term u frst-class
sensation, caused by the receipt Of the in
telligence Of the indictment of ID Ii.
Brush, by the grand jury Of Jackson
county, for larceny. The news was re-
ceived last evening, late, and this morning
early might be seen squad of men here
and there all over the city, discussing the
veal or woe of Daniel. He is charged
with stealing the city seal of Carbonate,
and many believe that he will be con-
vctcd, while others express consid-
cradle doubt. The trial has been set for
tomorrow and q number Of our citizens
will be in attendance. Brush is q MEM
Der of the Presbyterian church of this
place, and, up to this time, Of high stand
ing, but his brethren in the Lord are not
we'll prepared to receive this kind Of COM
pliment from one that had heretofore, TO
all appearances, been so pure and Christ
like. He has few friends among his re-
atives that are feeling very uneasy about
the matter, and will put forth every effort
in behalf Of the prisoner. Judge Allen,
of Cairo, is employed by the defendant.
Judge Allen is q very able man, Of great
power and influence in this county-and
if Brush can be cleared at all Allen is the
boy that can do it,
Political matters have not assumed
much SHAPED this section yet. The nom
in alton Of Mr.. Greeley for the presi-
dency, BY the liberal republicans At
Cincinnati, caused considerable excite
ment at first, but though again become
quiet, and will remain so until the Phiia-
delphia and Baltimore convention. The
democrats pretty generally accept Mr..
Greeley as the suitable one to bear their
banner. They are very sanguine Of q
glorious victory over Gen. Grant in No
vember next. There are some in Auential
republicans (smong them few Germans
that are red-hot for the farmer candi.

There was quite large turnout, Of SOL

after which all the graves of the fallen he

THE AERIAL TELEGRAPH

A hundred thousand dollars have been
appropriated by congress to be used in ex-
perimentng on an aerial telegraph sys-
TEN. The project seems wild and vision.
AIRY, but the inventor has faith in the ulti.
mate success of the scheme. No wires are
TO BIO used, but conductors are to be
placed on the mountain tops, at as high an
altitude as can DO reached, and the in
ventor claims that electrical vibrations or
waves can be made to pass from such
points through space as a stone thrown
into clear surface of water will cause q
succession of ripples until the last one is
broken by contact with the land. The
idea was received with much incredulity
and some dcrision in congress, but history
proves that this has been the reception Of
all great discoveries and inventions, the
results of which the world is now enjoy.
ing. 1t is not an absurd prediction that
tho inventor of tho aerial tele.
graph may live to be present
at the unwilling Of his own statue, as was
Morse, the father of the electric tele-
graph.

SOUTHERN vuu,rs

Inc raising OF tropical fruits in the
southern portion Of California 10 a large
and growing business, and promises 70
become one OF great importance. Orange,
seed there bear in their ninth or tenth year,
and the profits on oranges are larger than
those made on any other fruit, paying At
the rate Of from $50 TO $50 . tree, seventy.
five trees being the usual allotment 70 an
acre. These trees need constant irrigation.
They can be transplanted at almost any
age without injury; but trees over three
years old are seldom to be found At the
nurseries. walnuts yield q great profit
from lfull.grown trees Of from 5000 10
$1,000 an acre. They require ir.
rigation only in the upland; in
the valleys they grow well with
out il. The olive is also ,kes
which thrives lururiantly in that region,
and literally rewards the cul,ivator. In
time, the California crop will be Of great
value.

We would ask the INSCRIPTIONS Demo-
cratic editors OF Egypt, whether or not,
falsehood and msrepresen tation suits their
readers and the cause they assume 10 es-
pouse, better than Truth and honesty. We
ask them to desst from publishing d. T.
Linegar, as a Greeley man.
REMARKs.-THE BULLETIN was the
first paper in the State to announce that
Mr.. d. T. Linegar, after the adjournment
Of the Cincinnati Convention, had publicly
expressed his Intention to support Mr..
Greeley as against Gen. Grant, and We
again say he did. This fact Mr.. Linegar
will not deny. His profession Of Gree
leyism was too earnest and too unreserved
to be now denied. He proclaimed it in
the streets of this city, and proclaimed
it loudly, as also did the other law partner
Of Mr.. Mum, Mr.. Pope. This profession
Of political regeneration was made during
= temporary absence of Mum from the
city, and was continued until the return
OF that gentleman, when, presto 1! Messrs
Linegar and Pope became as silent as the
grave. Then the Radical State conven.
ton met and Linegar was made Gran,
elector, and now if Grant should be re.
elected and Linegar should receive an of.
flee by appointment would ii be Difficult,
to put this and that together and thus as
certainthe cause of Mr.. Linegar's sudder
flop back to Grant? The Tribune doe.
not know the man it is defending on thu

DEAR FRIEND WRIGGLESwoRTE !;

DEAR FRIEND WRIGGLEswoRTE;
am still alive and stirring among the
people, and the world is moving, and our
citizens are as busy as if nobody had died
during the winter. But it is fact, many
have been cut down by the commoa foe,
and are now numbered with the pale ma
tons of the earth. The small pox has been
among US, and quite number dieds but
| the most severe and fatal disease has been
the spotted fever, and many have fallen
by it, and some very suddenly.
Last week we lost one Of our most
promising lawyers of the city. His sick
ness was short and severe. He was pop
ular man and we'll liked in the city. AT
one time be was a prominent member of
the church, but, alas was slain by the
potent power of strong drink, and his use
fulness cut short in the prime Of life.
What warning to the members of the
church and the world Beware Of the in.
toxicating cup; for it will bite like an ad-
der and sting like serpent.
You will know that the Father Of Wa
ters is clear of ice; the ferry boat com
menced running on Saturday afternoon,
March 50th, and the first steamboats, from
below gave their alarm on Friday morning,
April 9Th, and to-day the first boat went
through the bridge to go up the river to
La Crosse These have made things live
ly, and quite crowd gathered at the land

The work on the d. G. & M. Railroad
is now going on, and the contractors arc

and the time will soon be when
we shall have another through railroad to

Hydrophobia Cured.

A correspondent of the Detroit 7ri-
5une describes at some length fearful
case of hydrophobia, where the man
was in commissions, barking like dog,
frothing at the mouth, and making
strenuous efforts to bite everything that
came near. During these commissions,
the patient would seize the pillows from
his bed in his teeth, and shake and
rend them with all the seeming feroc-
ity of mad dog. An intense dread of
water also exhibited itself The doc
tors decided to place the patient upon
the same treatment which had been sue
cessful in a former case, which, for the
aid it might be to others who suffer
from this disease we here give as fol-
lows: The injection under the skin of
large doses ofmorphine, and the admin
istration of large doses of castor, which
is also powerful anti spasmodic.-
About one grain Of sulphate of morph-
inc was injected under the skin once
in four hours, and La half drachm of
the powdered castor, mixed with syrup,
given internally. The effect was to
produce sleep in about half an hour,
which lasted about an hour and half,
when the commissions returned at inter-
walls of an hour and half until nine
o'clock Sunday morning, when the list
CONFUSION occurred, after which he
suffered severely from obstinate vom-
iting until Monday at ten o'clock,
when that also ceased, leaving the pa
tent comparatively easy, but very
