OF HEALTH WARRlORS-HOW An HONEST
PENNY CAN Returned.
CAIRO, August 2G, 1878.
Editor Bulletin:
Evidently the quarantine at Shawncetown
is proving "a most complete success.
The Silvcrthorn, on her last trip down, was
hailed in and boarded by skiff containing
tic quarantine officials Of the oldest town
in Illinois, and laconically instructed not
to land here.
The boat, however continued to hold in
toward the town, and as she headed the
whart-boat the State Militia and guard
minated in very emphatic language that
they would sink the Cd d-n boat if she
made the landing. Not having the Silver
thorn fully insured, Capt. Humphrey decided
with other philosophers gone long before,
that discretion was best under the dircum,
stances. ordered the boat out and was pre-
pairing to 90 down the river, when he was
hailed by the chief official, probably Of the
board Of health, and informed there were
three passengers who decided to 20 down
the river. Capt, Humphrey informed them
he would send skitf out and take them
aboard, which suggestion was scornfully
rcpudiated with the additional remarks,
'they would bring them out in skif of
their own and the three victims were
each charged the small amount of
twenty-five cents, which oiftnsc goes
to the credit of the health fund.
The Silvcrthornc was unfortunate in not
having the Golden Crowns lay cannon, with
which Capt. Walker nearly scared the life
out Of the militia who congrcgated on the
wharfboat to prevent his making his
landing.
They do say that when the cannon went
off such demoralized mob of idiots as
went scampering and hollering up the
Shawncetown levee, never was heard q
even by "the Oldest inhabtant," and dis
patches have since been received from dis.
tant parts Of the country, that many are
still running for their lives.
Let the Cairo people learn from the ex-
ample set them by the Shawncetown quar-
antincrs that there is more ways than one
whereby wind may be raised for the benefit
of the yellow fever sufferers. OHM.

SOME SERIOUS CHARGES.

AGAINST AN OFFICIAL OF THE BOARD OF
HEALTH AND OTHER CAIRO OFFICIALS by
A CORRESPONDENT OF THE PADUCAH SUN
In the Paducah Sun of Friday last we
find communication from which we give
some extracts. The writer makes grave
charges against some of our officials and
from the fact that no names are mentioned
We are led to the belief that
the accusations are the off
spring Of spite and disappointment. The
writer, however, makes one charge-that
against an official of the board of health
which we are sure that body will deny au-
thoritatively at once; for the facts of th,
case can be readily ascertained and without
much tIouble. We are free to say Il O
charge in the Paducah Sun is news to this
community, and that our first knowledge
of it comes from the extracts appended from
the Sun:
Cor instance, on recent trip of the Fisk,
the boat was not permitted to land passen-
gers, but was compelled To return TO Mound
City. One of the officers OF the Cairo
board of health either returned on the Fisk
to Mound City. or met her at that point
and took under his charge noted Paducah
prostitute-his mistrcss-and escorted her
triumphantly into town. The fact can be
established by incontrovertiblc evidence.
Decent people who have been put 10 great
trouble and inconvenience by the childish
and sensclcss regulations of that port very
naturally wonder if the mistress of Il GER
tain member of the board of health is per-
mitted to enter that town AL lib. why they
should not have the same privilege! Have
prostitutes who sustain intimate relations
with certain members of the board rights
that people who strive to live yirtuous can
not Obtaini
And again
Letters have been exhibited in this city
and are now supposed to be in the hands of
n legal firm in Cairo, which seriously inn
plicate other officers of the city Of Cairo in
operations which, if the letters are true
Cand they come from member of the
board of health to a prostitute), would fur
nsh abundant material to the district Mt
torney of Alexander county, His for series
of tirst-classs criminal prosecutions. We
are informed that the writer states that
he and several other officers naming
ing them-have formed little ring for
the sake of skinning strangers who may
have been caught in trouble in that delccta-
bic city, In reciting one case, this virtuous
member of the board of health, SO it Is stat
ed, says his share of the swag was dia-
mond ring and $50. He adds that if she
the prostitute will come down there he
will give her the ring. She went.
1t will be observed that in the last ey-
tract corruption is charged upon "a men,
Der of the board of health We are quite
sure this is a SANDER, and that investigation
will bear us out in so characterizing it.

uneasily around the room.

Nellie, sweetly.
But they look so bad, said Tom.

Toms face Redeemed.
- never saw your room look like this
before" he said, hesitatingly. 81 shouldn't
like to have any one step in"
"Why not2,' said Nellie. eve might
as well keep things handy. What's the
use of having house if you can't keep
things where you want to2'
Toms face got redder and redder. He
tried to look serious, and then broke into
laugh.
"Oh, that's your game, is itG'' he said.
Crying to beat me with my own weapons
are you little womana'
'.Well, don't you like the plan?" said
Nellie, demurely.
mo, by George, I Gon'tw said Tom.
"Well, then, I'll make bargain with
you. As long as you will keep your
things in their places, I'll do the same
with mine; and whenever you dont"-
"Oh, I will" interrupted Tom.
"Come, Nellie, I'll confess like man
you've beat me this time. Only JUST nut
things right in this awful room, and I'll
never throw anything down again. There
now, let's kiss and make it up, as the
children say" -. "-'..,
Nellie rose, and laughingly held up
her sweet mouth for the kiss of peace.
And then, under the magic influence of
her deft fingers, confusion was suddenly
banished; and when Mr.. Granger came
round to spend the evening, he decided
that nobody had a prettier wife OF tidi-
er home than his friend Tom Carter. 49,
Wise little Nellie having gained pos
session of the matrimonial field, took
good care to keep it until Tom was quite
cured of his careless habits. Sometimes
he seemed threatened with a relapse;
but Nellie, instead Of scolding, only
had quietly to bring something of her
own and lay it beside whatever he had
tossed down, and it was sure to be put
away Immediately, for Tom seldom failed
to take the hint. --.E
And if some other little women, astidy
and as wise as Nellie, takes hint also,
this little story will serve its purpose.
