The propriety of reducing the price OF
beer to three cents glass is being discuss
ed in Eastern cities, and popular sentiment
is on the side of the reduction. We should
regret to see any reduction in the price OF
beer IN Cairo, for it would have u bad effect
upon the cause of temperance. The out
rage of charging five cents for small glass
of beer drove many good man into the Ke'
form club, and we fear that the reduction
would have the effect Of letting them out
again. BY all means, then, let the beer re-
main at five cents-or even raise il a tide.
Let us have no wholesale backslid'ng'

Yesterday he attempted 10 perform one OF

ground and broke tSo bones Of his arm.
DR.. Dunning made the young gentleman
whole again, and he impaired the secret to
the doctor in confidence that he hopes to
be all right IN a short lime, as he was sure
he 'could do that act
About ten o'clock last night some IN
div .dual in Jaeckel's saloon, opposite THE
Bulletin Office, was taken suddenly sick,
and his yells could be heard three blocks
off. They were pro-. acted far INTO the
night, and the piercing and unearthly
sounds of the poor sufferer would awaken
sympathy in a tunip. 1t appears that he
was afflicted with an overdose of water
melon, and gave vent to his feelings in this
way. A Few supplemented people thought
that the fellow was singer, who was living
on high notes, but the fact that
he yelled through his nose and seemed to
have been deprived of the use of his vocal
organs, dissipated all belief in the theory that
he was sweet warbler. He was accompa-
MED in his sickness ly superannuated gu!-
tar and professor of he divine art.
A gentleman, deep in the study of the
finances of the country, walked '1to one of
the city banks the other day, and made in
quilJ OF the proper officials as to the pros
poets of obtaining loan. He was asked
the amount Ia good round SUM and stated
it. Certainly, they had the money, and
would accommodated lin at a reasonable rate
of interest upon acceptable collateral. He
didn't have the collateral. He visited an
other banking 'nstitu, on, and his experience
was precisely the same as at the first bank.
They had the money, and were ANXIOUS to
loan it upon reasonable rate of interest up
on good collateral. His reception at both
banks set the gentleman to thinking. He
had been pronounced advocate of fiat
money. He found money ABUNDANT, but
collateral scarce and collateral is now what
he is after. He has therefore transferred
his allegiance to new party hay '1s for its
object an unlimited increase of collateral
to be called the "More Collateral" par !,
and having as the only plank of its plat
form the simple declaration; More Col
lateral" The object of the gentleman's
party has the merit of simplici,.', as it can
be readily understood. Give him more
collateral, he says, and the money problem
v il cease to bother him.
During the recent hot weather certain
tobaccopist, of this city, betook himself,
weak, hot and weary, to his 'front.' porch, in
quest of the sweet restorer." His zee had
been spent amid rustic simpliciiJ and hon
esty. He was ignorant of the clark ways
and vain tricks Of tramp3 and sneak
thevce. Dotfing his hat and pair of new
$500 shoes he lad down to sleep, "perchancc
to dream" The gentle breezcs played de-
lightfully upon his throbbing temples; the
mild radiance Of the stars soothed his
nerves; the soft warblings of the hooking
bird fell upon his ears, soft and subduing as
the ''memory of buried love-" There was
no ripping streamlet near to lend helping
influence and the great rivers were too far
off for their sullen, monotonous murmur-
ings to be heard. But water music was not
needed.
"I In sumbcrs of midnight the ,obacconis, 10y,
Ills hat and shoes swung loose at the sport OF
the MUD,
While watch.wOrn and weary, his cares few away
And visions Of happiness danced 'cr his mind
The heat of the morning reused him early.
He yawned, reached for his shoes, but they
were far, far away on the tired feet Of some
poor tramp. Our friend sought his family
saddcr and wiser man, Since then red
aye, white heat, has failed to drive him from
hisroom inthe night time. lie prefers to en-.
dure the ills he has rather than fly to Others
he knows not Of.
