Mr.. Henry Eichhot, of whose arrest in
! st. Louis under charge Of obtaining goods
under false prctcnces, our readers were IN
formed sometime ago has turned upon his
/ prosecutors, and promises to keep with

cccdings for damage, and expresses conf
dence in his ability to teach the defendants
in the case that q mans character and libcr-
ty are not yet quite wholly worthless.
The enterprise of ST. Louis is wonder
! full 1t is said that her next great venture
will be National Exposition Of Feet. If
such an idea is carried out the health Of st.
Louis will demand that she quarantine

The citizen who reads his neighbours
copy of the BULLETIN, because he, himself,
is unable to indulge in the luxury Of II
copy, is always cxcusablc, and it is neigh
boYly in the subscriber to permit such use
of his paper But the citizen who stops
the paper ~ because it expresses views not
in consonancc with his own, or because he
doesn't like the editor, and wants to smash
| hm-the citizen who does this. and then
steals regular reading of the paper from
his neighbor, is of that class which right
thinking men denominate contoundedly
mean" We have in Cairo few such crca-
lures, happily only few
A six column folio sheet called the
Golden Rule Pilot is pu' lishcd weekly on
board the steamer Golden Rule Not very
long ago the name of the Golden Rule APP
pcared in number of the rivertown papers
in connection with sundry very caustic
comments on the conduct of the officers in
permitting the yellow fever to develop on
their boat, as was charged, without taking
precautionary measures to prevent itssprcad,
etc. The officers made very industrious
and persistent defense. and, for aught we
know to the contrary, the pilot" may be
the outgrowth Of that controversy. But in
any event the Pilot is a very readable paper,
and the largest ever issued from any Of our
western steamboats,.
Citizens of Cairo whose residence here
dates back TO 1863 can call to mind 1.-the
and rather handsome little girl named Nit
tens Willett daughter of Ed. Wifictt, at one
time connected with the Cairo Times and
Delta, and the old Cairo Gazette. This
then little girl, now promises to gain some
prominence on the stage. Last season she
was ION the road with the Mary Anderson
Company, and with that company visited
Cairo. This season she is with Lawrence
Barrett. She sustains the role of Lady
Florence in the pithess play Of Rosedalc,
Amminta in David Garck, Ncrissa in the
Merchant Of Venice, Georgianna in Money,
and, in fact, all the juvenile business of the
company with which she travels 1t is said
that the press has given her very handsome
notices, but none OF them have fallen under
our observation. For Eds sake, as well AS
her own, we hope the day is not distant
when Miss Mttcns will be starring it,"
Tile desperate who was shot by Con
stable Wilson, Monday night, is dead. He
died during Tuesday night. Even his
companions were ignorant Of his name.
They knew him as "Joc,' and had
heard that he was n moulder Concerning
the violent taking off Of this man there
seems to be but one opinion and that is, that
Constable Wilson was fully justified; that
he fred the fatal shot in defence of his own
life which was furiously and causclessy
impcrilcd. 1t was kill or be killed, with
MrWilson, and knowing novalid reason why
n strange ruilian should take his life without
the least provocation whatever he chose
the former alternative, and fred the shot
that resulted in his assaiants death. Mr.,
Wilson owes it to himself, however, to
have inquiry made into the matter, that he
may, in time TO come, have record evidence
of his justification.
