OF the county will be conducted with accus

must be the rule-retrenchment of the mos
rigid and cxacting character.
In the evening yesterday the rain fall
put on increased activity, and for awhile
promised to reach our standard of an en-
joyable rain storm. Cistcms against the
bottoms Of which the draw bucket had COM
menced to bang, were abundantly supplied
with water.

them have been secured, and but short

The lazy, DRILLING, drowsy rain of yes
terday, impaired a gloomy look to every
thing tainting ones thoughts and feelings
with its own coloring. We like a stout
vigorous, earnest, drenching ran-one that
fills the spouts and ovcr.runs the cave.
troughs, and sends big streams of noisy,
muddy water hurrying along the cutters.
But drip.--drip. drip! Goodness! If
anything in the world can afford shade of
justification for "self-suicide, ;" it is just such
a rain as that of yesterday. Itrcndered all

If important dispatches are respon.
sible for the report circulated in Metropolis,
that the guests of the Arlington House, of
this city, were compelled to go to bed sup
PEERLESS, few nights ago, because the
cooks had "struck" for higher wages, then
important dispatches" circulated false
hood. The guests of the Arlington suffered
no such deprivation, and are not liable to.
The cook really Struck few days ago,
thinking he would compel the patrons of
the house to 90 breakfastess; but his aim
was foiled Among the other employees
Of the house were found fifteen or twenty
men, all of whom served seven years ap-
premiership at the cooking business, under
celebrated French masters. The result was
that instead Of dcpriving thegucsts of their
breakfast, the irate striker was the unwit-
ting means of placing before them the best
prepared and most abundant and tempting
breakfast that had ever been spread in the
Arlington. If "important dispatches" want
the public correctly informed in the matter
in question, repetition of this veracious
paragraph will 'do the business" hand
somely.
The one half Of the sad stories of real
suffering and of wonderful endurance that
must be charged to the late epidemic. will
never reach the public. We give one; but it
is only one Of many that might be told, with
out passing beyond our corporation lines for
the subject A young married woman was Ia
ken sick early in October. An old lady
who may be credited with more deeds of
charity and bencvolcncc than any other wo-
man in Southern Illinois, nurscd the invalid
through to conyaesccnce. The patient
was getting along finely, when, from some
cause, dog suddenly sprang upon her
bed, and threw her into violent commissions.
The paroxysms were terrible, and were fol-
lowed by u mishap to which married wo-
men are at times subjected. Other conyul-
sions followed, and at the end of three days,
then occurred what our obstetricians must
regard as most wondeful-a second mishap
like the first one. At deaths door the
young woman remained for several days
oscilating between life and death, clinging to
the one, but apparently in the very grasp Of
the other, But strong constitution and
the solictous nursing of her guardian
angel prevailed. The young woman has
now completely recovered, to recount an
experience that not more than one in ten
thousand Of her sex could 30 through with
and live. The recovery furnishes case Of
human endurance that can have but few, if
any, parallel among those who were smitten
by the scourgc, and out-liycd the terrible
ordeal.
We saw negro man yesterday, named
Sam. jenkins, who had come to Cairo from
his home in the ncighborhood Of Mayfcd
Creek Kentucky, to consult a Cairo physi
clan. He was suffering the most cxcruciat-
ing pains from the presence Of worms in the
muscles Of his legs, The glutius medius
and maXimus muscles of the thighs, and the
