ST. THOMAS STATION, Jan. 10.
New York, Jan. 10 -Advioes from Paris
report that Messieurs Delaroy and Dufaure
have successfully endeavoured but failed to
constitute a cabinet. The formation of a
ministry will therefore be, it is expected,
i~ntrusted to the Dukes of Broglio and De-
cazes.
The Times says that the forthcoming min
istry will simply conduct the new elections.
-Four members Of the American cabinet have
privately disavowed portions of General
Sheridan's reported conduct In Louisiana.
ST. Thomas STATION, Jan. 10.
The Duke of Broglie refuses to participate
in the formation of a Cabinet until the AS
sembly votes the Constitutional Bill. The
President Mac1Iabon requests the present
ministers to continue in office until then
which they are willing to do, with the excep-
ton of the Minister of the Interior, NJ. de
Chabaud Latour.

FIFTY THOUSAND MILLIONS.
A FABULOUS FORTUNE AND A TREMENDOUS
WEDDING.
From The SUM-

D"IAMANTINA, Brazil, Nov. 10 1874.--The
hour is midnight, and 7 have just come
in a tri1o faded, but before retiring I
purpose, while yet the facts are vivid in
my mind, to give you some account of a
wedding | attended this evening. 1t was
o wedding, | make bold to say, the like of
which was never celebrated on either con-
tinent. The high contracting parties to
the marriage were Malta, only daughter of
Da Souza Cabral, the great diamond
king of South America, and George Arthur
Throckmorton, a native of Kentucky,
United States of America, who, for the
past five years, has been successfully en-
gagged in railroading in this country, with
head quarters at Rio Janeiro. Da Souza
Cabral is principal owner of nine Of the
richest diamond mines in South America,
and from them, in the aggregate, he de-
rives an annual income of not less than
$780, 900, 900. His interests in gold mines
probably amount to as much more, and |
am cognizant Of the fact that last August
he sold O one tenth interest in the celebra-
ted Bahia Mine-of which, until then, he
had been sole proprietor, for $500, 900,
gold. His diamond interests in South
Africa and Siberia he lately estimated I'M
der oath Gn some legal proceedings before
court in Mines Geraes) at the enormous
sum of $5O,OOO,OOO! He has beside, a
great penchant for real estate, and I was
but recently informed by one Of his agents,
q thoroughly trustworthy man, that Ca
bral's rentals in London and Glasgow
alone yield over 915O,OoO annually. In
1868 he purchased the patent of q machine
for making eyelets, from a poor fellow
whom he found starving in a garrett at
Maranham. To-day the machine is extern

EDITOR BULLETIN 1T 1, q fact that
the city Of Cairo subscribed one hundred
thousand dollars TO the Cairo & Vim
cennes railroad and paid over the same
when certain conditions, contracted be-
tween the above named parties, were
complied with. No citizen OF Cairo MUIR
mured--all were satisfied, aud consid.
cred the act wise and judicious, aud to
the best interest Of our city. In addition
to the above named subscription, our
county subscribed and paid to the Cairo
81 Vlncennes railroad company one hun
dred thousand dollars, and all was well.
We have fulfilled our obligations with the
railroad company strictly. in accordance
with our agreement. Now let US see
how the railroad company has treated US
for our favors. In lsG9 the Cairo 81 Vim
ccnncs railroad company petitioned our
city council for the right Of way over
Commercial avenue. Our council granted
said petition, at the same time creating
all ordinance stipulatipg the contract and
oiluing Doth partics W thc aeTeciheH'
in this contract. The railroad company
agreed to always keep the crossing in
good repair and the track surfaced so as
to allow a dray or wagon to cross con-
veniently at any given point. Have they
done IT. No. What is the condition of
the Cairo q Vincennes railroad to-day:
There is not a boy Of ten years old in Cairo
to-day but is ready TO answer, and the an
swer is: "A dog-goned nuisance" think

and all we ask Is, treat Us as we have
treated you; fulfil your promise with us
as we have done with you, and your hum

II Is this, no doubt, that has inspired

Roughs in days gone by, when they
were gay and festive. and prompted
them to extend ~ cordial an invitation TO
the younger and fun-loving portion Of

War on Owners OF billiard Tables

The police officers Of this city are max
ing war on the owners of billiard tables.
1t is claimed by the officers that several
of the saloon keepers have billiard tables
in their saloons upon which they pay no
license, and upon which they allow the
game to be played the same as upon
those that do pay license, and the author
tiles are making an effort to bring the
owners OF such tables to time and make
them hand over the requisite amount OF
license. In one case, that OF Mrs. Ma
sano, Judge Bross assessed fine Of IS
and costs, but in the cases of several other
saloon keepers, who are accused Of the
same offence, there seemed to be some
slight hitch, and they were postponed
until this morning at eight o'clock. A
number of witnesses have been sum-
moned by both the defendants and
plaintiffs to testify in the cases, and the
trials will doubtless be made very inter-
csting.
