CAIRO, Ills, THURSDAY EVENING, /

CAIRO, Ills, THURSDAY EVENING, /
April 20, 1878. I
The weather for the last few days has
been changable-windy and wet. On
Tuesday morning the severest wind
storm experienced in this locality In
many years passed over the city and por-
tons OF Union, Pulaski and johnson
counties, doing great damage to proper
ty and the growing crops. In this city a
number Of buildings were damaged, and
the destruction OF shade and fruit trees
and gardens was considerable. In the
vicinity Of Goose Island In this county,
and at Villa Ridge and Caledonia In Pu.
laski county, a number OF houses
were either blown down or badly wreck
ed, while the damage to orchards, fences,
etc., was very great. In the vicinity OF
Villa Ridge whole orchards were de-
stroyed. On one fruit farm no less than
five hundred trees were blown down,
broken or torn up by the roots; while in
many Others from two TO three hundred
ruined. At Caledonia the destruction
was equally as bad. The damage to the
growing wheat was considerable, though
not so much as was at first anticipated.
1t is impossible to yet estimate the dam
age, though 1t is very great.
The market is not materially changed
in any OF its leading features. Prices
generally are unchanged, though busi>
ness is light, and supplies of corn and
oats light, Hay is plenty and dull.
Stocks of flour and meal are good and
receipts liberal. Country produce Of all
kinds is plenty with no Indications of a
Stacking up of receipts. See quotations
below.
The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1878-04-26

Transactions have been light, though
while there is no advance in prices. the
market indicates somewhat tirmer feel
ing among holders. This feeling is the
result Of the TACT that wheat rules shade
higher. However there is nothing doing
outside Of the order trade. Stocks are
good and receipts liberal. Sales noted
were:

Christian Names in England

In looking through many volumes of
county records, [ have, of course, seen
many thousands and tens of thousands
of proper names, belonging to men of
all ranks and degrees-to noblemen,
justices. jurymen, witnesses, sureties,
inn-keepers, hawkers, paupers. Migrants,
criminals, and others-and in no single
instance: down to the end of the reign
of Anne, have l noticed any person
bearing more than one Christian name.
The first instance occurs in 1717, when
Sir Coplestone Warwick Bamfield ap.
pears among the justices who attended
the Midsummer Sessions at Exeter.
The first instances which | have met
with in any other place are those of
Henry Frederick, Earl of Arundel, born
in 16O8,and SirHenry Frederick Thyme,
who was created a baronet in 1641. Both
these must have been named after the
eldest son of James l., who was, of
course, born in Scotland. No other
child of James bore two Christian names,

who does not know that " papa " fire.
quently spends enough during the year
for tobacco and "drinks " to found quite
a snug little library.
One thing | have noticed that tends
to make boys grabbed, moose. and dis
obedient, is the habit some parents
have of constantly scolding and finding
fault, whether merited or unmerited on
the part Of their offspring. More than
once | have seen manly little fellow
struggle to repress the tears called forth
by what seemed to me an unmerited
rebuke. Boys as class are inclined to
be noisy and careless, but they are sus-
ceptible creatures for all that, and who
can blame them for ill-doing if their
best efforts meet with no more approval
than their worst faults
Another thing deserving of censure
on the part of parents is the idea that
any place Or any thing is good enough
for the boys, and | have known some to
go so far as to rebuke them for the
quantity of food they consumed. For
instance Jack comes in from the field,
where he has been hard at work all dav.
feeling, as he would express it, tired as
a pack-horse, and hungry enough to
eat boiled grind-stone, if he had one.
Well, he sits down to supper with such
an appetite as only boy can have, and
as he passes his plate for the third time,
mother greets him with the cheerful
assurance that he is greedier than a
pig, and she would as leave cook for an
elephant. Poor Jack Mothers words
have taken away his appetite, and he
pushes bis last plateful away unfinished,
and with it his cheerfulness and good
humor for the rest of that evening. He
had intended to interest mother with
some of the wonderful exploits of Bar
ney, the colt, and tell her how nicely
his pet pig IS thriving, but he has lost
ali inclination for talking, and sits in
the corner silent and sullen, and when
little Dick asks him to fix bis top he
burts out something about having done
enough already to pay one days board,
especially if ne is to be grumbled at
about what he eats. Presently he makes
OFT to bed, carrying his sullen looks and
wounded feelings with him. No fond
good nights are spoken, and as he leaves
the room mother looks after him with
reproachful froWn, and wonders what
does make Jack 80 cross and disagree

Prospects Of the Northern Pacific.
Chicago Times,

The action Of the house committe on
the Southern Pacific bill justifies belief
that Tom Scott and Central Pacific
Huntington have not been successful in
their scheme. The only fault they can
find with the Northern Pacific is that its
creditors, who are now the stockholders,
do not ask money subsidy. The fact
that they do not is so much to the dis
advantage Of the Central Pacific and
Texas Pacific lobbies. If the Northern
Pacific only ask few hundred million
dollars from the United States treasury
and 'put APP with the Hobbies to buy
votes enough to carry the measure
through, the opposition to the Northern
Pacific would amount to very little. All
that is asked, However, is an extension
of time in which to complete the road
upon the terms of the original act; not
a dollar is sought to be taken out of the
treasury. The completion Of the road
through to it's terminus is urgently de
manded by the commercial interest of
the Northwest, and it will prove an i'm
mense and permanent national benefit
because it will break down forever the
tyranny and extortion of the Central
Pacific and Union Pacific, and introduce
the benefits of competition as substitute
for the grinding monopoly which has SO
long prevailed. The prompt passage of
the house committee bill is very much
to be desired.

A Joke That Kicked.

Some practical jokes act on the joker
like rusty gun. One night d smart
young man, who lives in certain city,
found a toad hopping around in the
garden, and thought it would be a CAPT
tai joke to put 1t in a table-drawer and
let it hop out suddenly and frighten his
wife. Before he closed the drawer be
was called into an adjoining room, and
forgot all about the toad, which, during
the night, hoped out on the floor, and,
crawling into vacant boot passed
pleasant night of It, The next morning
the household was Mortified by snrieks
ofmasculine distress. and an old woman
on the other side of the street, going
home from market, was knocked near
ly senseless by flying boot that came
crashing through the front window
The smart man said this custom of
playing practical jokes on people was
as dangerous as it was foolish, and if he
ever caught any body fooling around
his boots again with toads, or anything
else, he would teach them salutary
lesson

nor did any child Of Charles l., except
Henrietta Maria, named after her moth
er, who was a French woman. No king
of England bore two Christian names
before William III, who was Dutch
man. 1t seems probable that the prac-
tice of giving children two Christian
names was utterly unknown in England
before the accession of the Stuarts: that
it was very rarely adopted down to the
time of the Revolution, and that it never
became common until after the Hano-
verian family was seated on the throne.

A NEW POPE

A VERDICT OF GUILTY.
A dispatch from New Orleans dated
at that place Feb. 9TH, 11:3O P. NJ. says
that Judge Whitaker finished reading
his charge to the jury, in the case Oft.
G. Anderson one of the returning board.
at 9:2O P. NJ. and the jury retired,
the attorneys for defense had left, no
body expecting verdict; almost every
body believing that the result would be
a disagreement. At 1910 P. NJ. there was
a loud knock call from the jury
room which was promptly answered by
a deputy sheriff who went at once to
the jury room, and returning quickly,
startled the judge, who with some gen
tlemen and reporters was in his private
office, with the news that the
jury had agreed upon u YER
dict. The counsel were sent
for, Judge Cullom, of the defense,
having arrived, the court was opened
again at 1O:4O z. NJ, and the jury
brought down and called. About forty
persons were present. Judge Whitaker
asked the foreman the usual questions,
when the verdict was given to the clerk
General Anderson was deathly pale,
twisting nervously the head of his cane
between his fingers Then the verdict
was read, as follows:
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 7, 1873.
We find Thomas G.. Anderson guilty,
and recommend him to the mercy of
the court.
Signed w. 7. CONVERSE,
Foreman of the Jury
The defense asked for the polling of
the jury. Each juror after his
name being called, was asked
"is this your verdict, -guilty-and
recommended to the mercy Of the
cOurt?' They all answered in the af-
firmative. The jury was then dis
charged, and the prisoner remanded to
await sentence by law A few friends
Of Anderson at once surrounded him,
and saw him off to jail.
