1r there is n merchant in this city who
can,ssy that THE BULLEriS has not on all
occasions advised and even solicited all
our citizens to patronizc home institu-
tions let him speak, for him We have Of
Tended. "Buy your groceries, your dry
goods your clothing, your boots md
shoes, your whiskcy, your prcaching,
your hardware, and 50 forth, in Cairo,
has been our constant advice. We have
not done this because We bolie,c ed
that groceries, dry goods and par
ticularly clothing, could not be
bought at lower prices in st. Louis
than in Cairo, but because the patronage
Of home industry contributes to the pros
perity Of the city--the well-l eng of us
all. On the other hand, there may DO one
or two men in the businesses indicated who
refuse to give their printing 10 foreign
drnmmcrs and allow Tux BULLETIN to
do it-but not more than one or two.
Our business men have II weakness for
foreign printers, no, because they csn get
work done for lower prices bu.-just be-
cause. They have no good reason for send
ing their work away. We can and will and
do print oil kinds of job work as neatly and
as cheaply us tho same kind ia or can be
done in any other city; and yet our mcr-
chants send away work and pay moro for
it to the foreign printer. Take for in
stance this fact There is in this city

HORSE EPIzOOTIC AGAIN.

VIM. Horne, a western veterinary
surgeon, says, IN a recent number of
the Western Farmer, saThere Is every
indication that, without great care, we
shall have another visitation of an epi-
zootic which seems to be of worse
and more fatal type than the one we
passed through last year and which
made itself so terribly felt" This
opinion is based upon his knowledge of
the condition of many horses through
out the country. He adds:
81 am afraid, if great probationary
measures are not observed, we shall
have another visitation which, if not of
so universal a nature, viii be worse,
much worse for those whom the NAL
adv does attack l would suggest the
strictest sanitary measures-good food,
cleanliness, bountiful supply of pure
air, care In working, above all, prompt
ness in securing the best aid as soon as
the disease shows ITSELF"
The symptoms of the disease are that
the animal is taken with a cough;
throat seems sore, sometimes swelled;
animal discharges from the nose;
seems cold; loses appetite. DR.. Horne
says:
Il would recommend. as soon as the
throat becomes sore, that either a
strong blister be applied or very pow
erful liniment-equal parts turpentine
doilweIl mixed and wellrubbedin; and
to stop irritation and cough, give gelse-
minum one dram, fluid extract lobelia
two drains, few drops over the tongue
at time, often, and wash mouth and
nostrils with TilGen's & Co.'S Bromo
Chloralum, one to eight of water. Give
apart from the other medicine, half an
ounce Tilden's Iodo- Bromide Calcium
Compound in one OF. water; this is a
powerful Alternative.

1t is believed that only two of the
cases In the above list were properly
appealed, VIZ: the claims of two cor
porations organized under the laws of
the Confederacy, and the question to
be determined on appeal is whether
such corporations are valid. With
these exceptions not one of the cases
given raises question of law, and why
the appeals were taken has been the
subject of no little inquiry.
But the most singular part of this
business l have yet to relate In the
list of cotton claims given above, which
were appealed to the Supreme Court, it
will be found that a mojority of them
are printed in italics. The claims so
distinguished represent judgments
amounting in the aggregate to $685.
71l93. The appeals in these cases
acre all acithdraJCn IN a single dag.
namely: the 18th of the present month,
the causes for withdrawal being as
mysterious as those which originally
led to the taking of the appeals.

man who came here from Georgia with

ton of which was awarded him after

FARM AND GARDEN.
A NEW MEDICINE FOR DISEASED
GRAPE VINES.


The Abba Roland has communicated
to the CuItiUate1w de Ia Region Lyon
maise an ''infaIlible remedy" against
the phylloxera, which, after two years
trial, he recommends with confidence"
to vine-growers. 1t consists in inoccu-
lating the vine with the pure essence of
Eucalyptus glob'ttus, which has lately
attracted so much attention in medical
circles. A broad ineision is made
through the bark at the neck OF the
vine, in which few drops of the es-
sence are deposited by means of a
small camel-hair brush. The result is,
that in about three days the phylloxera
entirely disappears, while the vine is
not the least injured by the operation.
The incision may be made through any
other part of the bark with equal sue
cess, but the result is more speedily
attained the nearer it is made to the
roots.
We hope the above statement will
prove to be true, not so much to destroy
a bad parasite on grape vines as an
encouragement to search and find some
simple remedy against the secret agents
that produce fevers, cholera and many
infectious diseases. We must learn to
pass easily from things known to things
unknown. Farmers know what will
kill smut on seed wheat, but not rust
nor Hessian flies. We can destroy the
curculio on plums and peaches, but not
blight on pear trees.
