1t is stated thahthe Southern Illinois
Insane asylum at Anna contains six hun
dred inmates. To properly care for these
and the property OF the institution, requires
the presence Of one hundred employees. 1t
is--this asylum is, in slang vernacular,' a
big thing but under the skillful direction
of DR.. Horace Wardner all its complicated
machinery seems to move along in perfect
harmony. Capt. Fulton, the jolly oleogin-
Gus old Cairoite still bosses that part of
the machinery that is propelled by steam.
Dealers in Christmas goods inform us
that their sales to home customers were
quite as large this year as during any form
or year; but that their sales to outside par
ties were unusually light. But few ship
ments were made in any direction. 1t was
thought that the September hegira had so
drawn upon the purses of our citizens, that
but little money was left with which to buy
Christmas nick -nacks; but tins conclusion
was scarcely authorized. More candies and
CONNECTIONS were sold than at any time be-
fore during the fifteen years past
1t was urged upon us yesterday, that
we had unwarrantabiy used the prefix
Col" in connection with the name Of
distinguished Missouri gentlemen, here last
Friday evening in response to an invitation
from the Reform club. We plead guilty to
the charge. We used the prefix knowing
that the gentleman was a Doctor; but he
was stranger in Cairo, and we didn't want
to let it out on him. If this apology isn't
satisfactory, dissatisfied persons are invited
to call, to look over an assortment, and So
lect one that WILL be satisfactory.
William Rankins the colored barkeep-
er who was shot, Christmas morning, 10y
the negro desparado Burl Brooks, will, if
no unexpected contingency arises, get well.
The ball took effect in the left lobe of the
right lung, and inflicted a very dangerous
wound. The wounded man was splitting
up blood yesterday, which is said TO indi-
este an ability to keep the wounded part
clean OF irritating accumulations. and is
interpreted, therefore, rs good sign.
Brooks, who was shot in the upper part of
the thigh, has quite sore leg: but he
doesn't seem TO mind it much.
Rev Dewitt Talmage intends TO paint
the moral pictures of Boston. Philadelphia.
Chicago and st. Louis, should his sense Of
duty and the amount Of money offered,
prove too strong to be resisted. The sense
of duty might be ,quclched down; but tie
CENTS that provide ones creature comforts,
have seductive influences difficult for even a
preacher to resist. When he commences to
stir up the nastiness Of St. Louis, We don't
care to approach single step nearer tim
we are at present, If he'd pass around nd
give Paducah shake or two, we'd have
pcstilencc.
One of our Cairo friends having located
in the midst of the romantic hills overlook
ing Dongola, has been infected by his sur
roundings, At all events there are no hills
in that neighborhool that are loftier than
the name he has inflicted upon his newest
daughter. Here it is: "Vcdi Vassa Dido"
What think our readers OF that name, not
for broad shouldered, muscular man; but
for girl baby! We have thought, hitler
to, that one element Of our highland
friends mental composition was mercy;
but, as Stephen Backpooe was wont to
say "Wc do no, we do no, so say We,
since the naming Of that baby.
The efforts Of eight or ten individuals
to make u horse, attached 10 Il sleigh, on
Sixth street, yesterday get up and 90
along" were decidedly amusing. Three Of
them had whips, the fourth had a rope
around the animals front foot, fifth was
pulling at the bride, and three or four
were pushing the sleigh, Despite all these
appliances, the stubborn animal wouldn't
"budge.' Finally Crystal saloon man APP
pcarcd on the scene, and reprovcd the men
for irctting the horse, He patted and pet
ted the worried creature into n state Of
placid amiability took hold Of the bride,
and with snow, boy" started the horse off
about three steps backward, where he
was anchored when we left him. From the
