ask that some means be adopted by the Of
fcials whereby they will be relieved Of
the nuisance
A large delegation of Cairo people will
attend the barbecue to be held on the fair
grounds at Charleston to-day, to hear the
address of the noted Missouri stumper,
Hon. Geo. G.. Vest. A special train will
leave this city on the st. Louis, Iron Noun
tain and Southern road for Charleston at
$50 O'Clock, carrying passengers at reduced
rates for the round trip. The Charleston
people anticipate an immense crowd and
great deal of pleasure from the affair.
The lower part of the city was thrown
into a state of feverish excitement about
noon yesterday over the report that a South
ern gentleman, who had been stopping at
the St. Charles hotel for several days, had
been stricken down with yellow fever. All
the doctors in the city were quickly enlisted
to labor in behalf of the victims life, but it
was soon ascertained that the patient had
nothing more than severe attack OF chills.
He is now as well as could be expected Of
one with his ailment.
On the Dist Of this month, Nincennes
will commence four days race meeting
which promises to afford great deal of
fine sport for the lovers of fine horses.
Some of the finest running and trOtting
horses. including Rarus, the horse that has
recently 10y his unprecedented performances
completely laid IN the shade Goldsmith
Maid and all other flyers, will be there and
compete for the various liberal purses Of
fcred. The Cairo and Vincennes company
will sell tickets, at greatly reduced rates
TO Vincennes and return over their road
| during the meeting.
An old woman named Brown appeared
before Judge Bird yesterday morning, and
complained to that gentleman Of the very
|
bad conduct of a lot Of young boys, rang
ing in years from twelve to fifteen, They
had, on Monday night came to her house,
where she and several daughters were
peacably conversing and without warning
or cause, began pelting rocks and sticks at
the doors and not until she had procured
the aid of officers AXlcy and Cain, could
she induce them 10 desist from their shame
full work. Three of the youngsters, whose
names we will withhold thi, time, were ar
rested, and fined by Judge Bird yesterday
afternoon five dollars and costs.
While the apologizing mood is upon
us we wish to do justice to Capt. Jas. John
son, of the Illinois Central railroad. In
our report of the meeting Of the Board OF
Health last Sunday, we represented him as
saying that he would arrange it so that nc
more through tickets would he sold ovci
the Mississippi Central north. What he
did say was that no more sleeping coaches
after certain time, would be transferred tt
this side of the river, and the suggestion
made by DR.. Dunning that it would be wei
to leave all through coaches on the Other
side of the river was the occasion for the
Captains remark. A moments reflection
would have satisfied our reporter that thu
Captain could not have used the expression
attributed to him.

a Geographic dispatch from Cairo in
regard to the steamer Golden Crown, states
that the health officer of that city, on a
careful examination, found lady passcn-
ger on board sick of yellow fever, whom the
Memphis physicians had pronounced sui
tcring from intermittent fever. The only
Memphis physician who went on board the
Golden Crown was DR.. Laurence. the quar-
antine officer, who refused TO give her q
clean bill Of health, stating that she had
yellow fever on board in letter which he
intrustcd to the officers of the boat, to be
delivered to DR.. John Erskine, the health
officer, but which was not delivered. On ar
irving opposite Memphis, the tug boat en-
pOycd as guard to prevent boats landing that
are not authorized to by clean bill of
health, would not allow the Golden Crown
to touch our wharf, and ordered her up the
river. The captain Of the Golden Crown
has made Misrepresentation to the public,
acted in bad faith in this whole matter, and
deserves the scvcrcst ccnsure. No man who
is not lost to all sense ofwhat is right, or who
does not want to subordinate everything To
his selfish purposes, would, in the face Of
physicians declarations that he had yellow
fever on board, try to land at any port
where the fever was liable to find Judgment,
and so spread disease and death around
We say again that the captain of the Col
den Crown is in the highest degree ccnsur-
able, and his case should be warning to
all transportation agents, whether on river
or railroad

The Germania prints the text of the
settlement between the Roman Catholic
hierarchy and the republic of Colombia,
by which the priests have been restored
to the exercise of their ecclesiastical
functions. The point at issue between
the parties was the extent of the au-
thority OF the state in Church affairs.
The clergy OF the republic sign the fol-
lowing declaration: "We declare that
by our adhesion to the protest of our
bishop against the laws decreeing the
supervision of divine worship, and
against the Punishment of some bishops,
we have only fulfilled a duty of con-
science. But wa did not and do not in.
tend by this act to disturb public order
in thu slightest degree. Farther, we have
no intention of refusing tho state that
obedience which We owe to it according
to the prescriptions of religion and NOR
ality, and rs servants of the Catholic
Church. On the contrary, our office in-
poses upon US the duty of striving to
maintain peace, and Of instructing the
people in this sense, as we do by this
declaration" Suits against all priests
who sign this declaration are withdrawn,
and they are restored to their positions,

The dairymen north OF this city are
seriously alarmed concerning an
epidemic that has broken out among
their cattle. From eating dew.covered
white clover. q certain highly expansive
gas is formed in the bovine stomach which
penetrates to all parts OF the animals
bodies, causing death in few hours.
There is only one known remedy, and
that is to thrust knife into the sides Of
the afflicted cattle just behind the shoul-
der blades. This affords an outlet for
the gas and brings instant relief. Cat
tie suffering from the gaseons complaint
look as though they had been fed on
compressed yeast. The dairymen have
associated themselves together for mutual
prosection. and BY adopting this method
manage to prevent very extensive
mortality, though probably a hundred
COWS have died from the disease thus far.
The gentle herdsmen now go around
with long, keen knives, which they slip
into the sides Of their COWS when occas-
Ion requires. The cornfeld subdivisions
north Of the city have been converted
Into immense clover fields, and it is here
the grazing kline are encountering the
death-dealing white variety. Dairymen
call the disease ''cloveriug." 1t has not
yet attacked the pumps, and the milk
merchants do not .febi entirely iisheart-

TEST OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

There is no sentiment SO difficult to
test as that of "Trus friendship" and
yet how often men think they are sur
rounded by real friends, when all is hol-
low and selfish in the regard and the
favors Of their acquaintances towards
them. "A friend should bear friends
infrmities." these are very pretty ideas
about friendship, but they are but as the
outline Of one wave compared with a
panorama of the whole ocean. They
give no definition OF thing almost
indefnabls, and which fhe divining rod
Of no eloquent philophosy has yet
pierced to its core.
We may give. however, more perfect
idea of it, by saying that true friend is
never non.committal; never lacking in
jealous consolation and advice when we
apply to him in sorrow or doubt for
counsel; never halting or Stimulating
when he is to judge between US and an
other friend; never dumb when he hears
us reviled in our absence; never wordy,
when We are present; in our praise or
blame; always as ready to act and think
regarding rs; and as clear as mirror,
and steadfast as the sun; that his can
dor and uniformity, his stability, faith
and distinctness are always an ark OF
safety and solace. This is true friend
ship; here is true friend. How few
and far between are they. How many
selfish and vague characters there are.
wrongly exalted to an eminence like this.
When We start in life, friends appear
everywhere; "but old birds are hard to
be caught with chaff." The colors OF
the rose die from their characters; and
as the soul Of the self inundated Hindoo,
appears the horrible detormity of the
Juggernaut, whose wheels have crushed
him into view OF the wild and immortal
beauty of the real God, so glare the
threadbare fabrics, whereto once we
looked for affection and faith. So rare
is fidelity that dogs are universally trea-
sured for their chief trait; and love with
out it is trained into hatred and a curse.
Reader, if among your aoquaintances,
you detect in any one the above gems of
rare and noble nature. remember that
they are the nucleus of the brightest
graces of human character, and bscome
the object Of their benignity, if you
oare.-G New Age.
