A Card for Rational Readers

Irrational people always reject good
advice and in nothing is their folly more
frequently conspicuous than in ignoring
precautions necessary for the retention of
health. Forecast, on the other hand. is a
notable characteristic of the rational, and
it is the exercise of this quality which
We would suggest to them. Protect the
system against diseases which tasten
upon the debilitated, the nervous and the
dyspeptic, by bracing the physique, regu.
lating the stomach, bowels and liver, and
banishing dependency with the purest
and most efficient OF botanic invigorants,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. That these
effects follow its use. and that 1t pre-
vents as well as annihi lates intermittent
and remittent fevers, are facts established
by indisputable evidence. TO enjoy the
twin blessings of "a sound mind and
sound body" in all their plentitude, try a
course OF this sterling medicine,

The German Vote

1t is charged on good authority that
Mayor Winter has accosted one OF the
Democratic candidates with PROPOSE
ton to turn over to the candidate in
question the negro vote OF the city, if in
consideration therefore the German vote
can be given to him. Thisis proposition
which every respectable German in
the city must regard as an open
and direct insult, and one which
they should not be slow to resent at the
proper time, and in manner that will
teach "his honor" and all other men
that the Germans OF Cairo are not a
class Of men whose votes can be bought
and sold at will. OF all men the Ger
mans are perhaps the most Independent
in politics, and the mere suggestion on
the part Of any candidate that he can
control their votes in con-
test like the present stamps him as either
fool or q knave. The Germans will vote
according to their convictions of right
and duty; and it is not in the power Of
any man to deliver their votes to Mr..
Winter or any other man. The proper
sition made by Mayor Winter is an Inn.
putation against the character of the
Germans OF Cairo which they Will cause
to return to plague him at time when
he least desires it. And tits right they
should do so.

A Hint for Judge MA

The Sin OF Wednesday last contained
the following item, which was evidently
meant for Judge Bird
We learn that candidate Tor a city
office is very much alarmed at the pros
pect OF the Republicans nominating a
ticket, and declares that such action will
ruin his prospects. That's it, is it.
Does he care more for his own success
than he does for the interests of the citi-
zens OF Cairo! 1.-The does, then he does
not deserve to be elected. and we hope
he won't be.
The Stos was opposed to the Republic
cans nominating straight ticket, because
like many other Republicans it was OPP
posed to division of the offices with
the negroes, and to nominate ticket and
not give the negroes half the offices,
would create such a row in the
party as to insure the defeat
of the entire ticket. Having
succeeded in bull-dozng the party into
making no nominations, it now proceeds
to throw dirt at Juge Bird. Whether the
San desires to see Judge Bird defeated
we do not know, but if it does not it
has very poor way of showing its
friendship for him.

One of Mayor Winters strongest and
most potent arguments IN the present
municipal canvass is his opposition to
what il commonly known as the''hog or
dinance," which Is law passed by the
city council to prevent stock, and more
particularly hogs, fir ON running at large
on the streets of the city. For months
past Mr. Winter has lost no opportunity
TO pour into the ears of every laboring
man whom he could induce TO
listen to him the story of
his efforts to induce the
council to repeal this, in his estimation.
most obnoxious and oppressive law.
Now, without entering into the merit.
or dement's of the ordinance in question.
we shall prove that Mayor Winter Ia not
sincere In his assertions regarding his
efforts to do away with the "hog ordi.
nance;" that he has had an opportunity to
veto the ordinance, but that
he neglected to take advantage
of it, whether designedly or through
mere negligence we do not pretend to
say but that he approved the ordinance
when he had an opportunity to disap-
prove it, and compel the council to pass
it over his vote, il they could, is Ger.
tain. Last year, or about one year ago,
the city council employed Hon. John NJ.
Lansden to revise and codify
the ordinances. OF course the
revised ordinances came before
the council for approval the same as a
new ordinance. Among the ordinan-
oes so revised was a section in which
was embodied the ."hog ordinance.
The revised ordinances were read In
open council three separate times, and
on as many different occasions, and on
the third reading were adopted by the
council and received the signature Of May
or Winter IN apprepal. Mayor Winter
cannot dodge the responsibility of the
hog law. He had AN opportunity to
force the repeal Of the law, but de-
clined, or neglected, to take advantage of

ADasperAie NeRr0.

Yesterday afternoon while a number
OF small boys, among them son of Col.
John Wood, son of Mr.. John koehler.
and two or three others, were playing
near one of the slaughter houses near the
Mississippi leyee, colored boy named
Peter Brown came upon them. Brown
had shotgun on his shoulder, and as
he approached the boys one Of them
said something to him about
shooting, and in reply Campbell Woods
said to Brown: "You can't shoot flea, ~
ioung Woods, who Is perhaps twelve
years Of age, was standing near an
empty barrel. and as he made the remark
he saw Browns gun 90 up to his shoul.
der, and the little fellow lodged behind
the barrel just in time to escape the en-
tire charge of buck shot with which the
gun was loaded. Charli1 koehler, an-
other Of the boys was
not so fortunate. for he received six or
seven of the shot in his legs in the vicinity
of his knees, wounding him so severely
that he had TO be carried home. DR..
Gordon was called in to see the wound
ed boy, and found that the shot had en-
tered deep into his legs, but the result
of the wounds cannot be determined for
several days. II is feared however, that |
one OF the knee joints has been so badly
hurt as to render the boy
a cripple for life. After
the shooting Brown walked off,
and up to late hour last night had
