The Cairo daily bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1870-1872, 1872-09-28

CAPT. Luax, of the Grand Tower, told us
confdentially last night that although
fleas were very plenty this season every
where, he thinks La Crosse enjoys several
more than is really her share. Strangers
cannot stay over night in the place, but
the regular inhabitant seems to rest very
comfortably of night by simply soaking
his head in coal oil, coating his face and
neck with tar and slipping his body into
an oil cloth sack with strong puckering
string to draw it tight around his neck,
and by fastening one end to his balcony
or chimney, he rolling of, hangs target
for the legs of the street 0eas to shoot
their bodies at until morning. AS they
shake all out but paltry thousand or two
before going into their night bag, their
dreams are comparatively uptroubled.
In the morning, all in the world they
have to do is to hire some one to cut the
string There is not sight so
beautiful as to pass over La Crosse in II
balloon of bright moonlight night and
look down upon the sleepers and jumpers.
BY a herculean wrench of the imagination
you may picture the scene in the balmy
south land when the hanging birds are
sleeping and the babboon gambols play.

girl mother to let her take it with her to
raise. Soon after leaving port
the husband finding the child
on board ordered his wife to
give it away to some one else or he would
throw it into the river. She consequently
gave it to Il woman who was going down
the river, and who stopped for time at
Columbus, Kentucky. While there she
treated it very badly and finally kicked it
in the region Of the abdomen SO severely
as to cause the child's skin to turn purple
over space of four inches. This was
about month ago. Somehow or other

The Jenkins Johnston murder case is
at present occupying the attention Of the
| court All the evidence ELECTED is circum-
| stantial in character and relates princi-
paly to the nature of the ground
about the scene of the tragedy,
and the whore abouts of jenkins at
the time One witness testiiies that he
saw jenkins on the morning of the muir
der, between daylight and sun up with a
gun on his shoulder, going towards the
place where the murder was committed,
and that he also saw Booker similarly
armed going in the same direction.
/ One of the most important witnesses for
the prosecution died not long since, and
another left the State, which makes it
rather uncertain how the case will termi-
nate. One witness, the negro woman
Amelia testified yesterday that on Sunday
evening before the murder she saw Mr..
jenkins and remarked to him that Mrs.
Johnston was dead. jenkins said, "yes
she died to-day and, said he, ~ intend to
put Henry Johnston where the dogs wont
bite him witness said, Henry Johnston

Another negro woman testified that she

MENTAL SYsTEM.-The faculty OF concen.
trating the mind OF the matter in hand, to
the exclusion OF all other things, is one OF
the rarest and most valuable gifts with
which a man can be endowed. To com.
mence with a theory to think it out to its
legitimate results, to reduce those results
to a concrete form, and, If it be in material
science, to proceed to experiment and prac-
tice, without diverging in any direction,
from the purpose, is possible to very few
men. And we do not think we are oversta-
ting the case when we assert that IN pro-
portion as a man is gifted with this faculty,
he will become a successful investigator of
the phenomena of nature. Certain it is,
that the most eminent men in the scientific
world have been remarkable for this power
of INSTRUMENTATION; and the study of ma
ture and her laws-which go from process
to process, and from fact to fact, by strict
Induction and with memorable logic-is the
pursuit of all Others for the employment of
this invaluable talent, as well as for the in
crease of its strength. The study of nature,
In other words, science, is the best Occupa-
ton for the mind, if it be desired to syste-
Matte the thinking faculty, and to produce
the greatest result from the eXertion of the
intellect. tits one phase of the same power,
of thoroughness of work is another; for, If
the ability of mental concentration can be
acquired, its by doing most thoroughly and
earnestly the work in hand. So the true
worker or thinker never wastes time and
strength in going back to what he has al
ready accomplished; but having done it
once, he is prepared for the next process,
and sc goes on with the least possible dis
persion Of his mental forc.-Sci.ntifc Amer

WOMEN IN FRANCE.-Franch women OBJ
tain a partial freedom by marriage. but as
we all know, liberty is Of very little Use TO
those who have not been taught how TO use
it. And marriage. rs even the advocates of
the fullest and ireesS equality in il admit,
involves personal restraints and obligations
peculiar to itself. The imposition Of these
restraints and Obligations is generally the
last consulnaiing act OF French parental
tyranny. imposed as thew arc, quite regard
less of the wishes or inclinatlons OF one OF
the principal parties to the contract. The
education and training, then, bestowed upon
a French girl, are but the fitting prepara-
lions for securing her submission to this
final decree of the infAlli5ie authority of her
home. OF men she knows nothing in any
sense of the word. She has never sssocla-
ted with any beyond The narrcwest limits
of her home circle. ard even in that she IL
kept as much apart from her brothers a.

~. OF the man she is to marry. she knows
as little as CT any, possibly even less than of
some. She may be some what versed in the
arts OF ccquettry, but of the ply steal con-
ditions ofmarrisge, with suc1 an edu cation as
this, it is needless to say she knows nothing.
This ignorance explains the willingness
with which a French girl of sixteen or sew
enteen will submit to her fathers behest',
aud contract a marriage that a woman or
ripe years and understanding would shrink
from with r~epugnance.

the width of the track. but 60 the necessity
