all this in celebration of West India eman-

Mr.. STEELE. the Grecnback orator, was
in the city yesterday on his way to Hodges
Park, to attend barbecue OF colored
people, and engage with Mr.. Inscore in "a
political debate. This discussion will he
an exceedingly interesting one and should
be enjoyed by all who can appreciate good
speaking, barbecued meats and dancing
A special train on the Cairo and st. Louis
railroad will leave the ST. Charles hotel
depot at 9:30 o'clock this morning, and
another at s o'clock p. III. The discussion
will commence at o'clock p. m, and the
entertainment be continued until II O'Clock
at night
The heat of yesterday had a runaway
effect upon several teams. Dick lluris
left the front of Woodward's store about 3
o'clock in the afternoon and ran at break
neck speed down Ohio Levee. At the cor
ncr of Tenth street the horses ran one each
side of lamp post. One Of them imme-
diately initiated circus man and stood on
his head while the other made flying
leap into the air and fell upon
his back. No very serious dam
age was done excepting to the harness
Adolph Swaboda's horse also took occasion
to try his speed and at once engaged in an
interesting runaway. He broke his har
ness and the wagon, but fortunately did
not break any persons neck. The team OF
John Meyers of Missouri also made quick
time along Ohio Levee without the permits
sion of the driver With the exception of
a wrecked wagon no great damage was
DONE
DIR. Thompson, an old man who came
to Cairo from the northern part of the State
about year ago, was found dead in the Of
flee occupied by him above Ayers store on
the levee. He was homeopathic physician,
and for several months after his arrival here
made and sold medicines, and managed to
exc out scanty subsistence. Some two
months since his health failed He was
reallya paupcr without relatives or friends
at least in this community. And the gen
eral impression is that his death was caused
by neglect and lack of medical attention.
A charitable lady of the city sent him meals
during his protracted sickness. A meal
was left with him Tuesday night, and last
night it was found untouched The old
man was lying beside it, cold and rigid in
the sleep that knows no waking. He had
on all Of his clothes, except his coat, and the
position of the body seemed to indicate
that he had been sitting upon his cot and
fell back upon it to die. Little is known
o. his history. He appeared to be harm
less, eccentric creature, extremely reticent
as to his circumstances, and was too proud
to beg. Not a few people knew of his
helpless situation, and among
them some high in authority and
whether the hand of charity was unjustly
withheld is aqucstion we TO bear to dis
cuss. This we do know that he wasted
away in slow decline, and died at last, in
the heart of the city of Cairo, without one
friend to do him kind act, or whisper in
his ear word of sympathy.

The New York papers announce the death,
Mt his residence near Liverpool, Of Capt.
Charles Ii. Z. Judkins, the famous old Com
modore Of the Cunard fleet Of steamers. He
had been in the service of the Cunard line for
forty years, having worked his way up from
d subordinate position. He was we'll known
on both sides of the waters and was regarded
as one OF the best sailors that ever com
manded Il ship. His first ship was the Gale
donia, and afterwards he commanded the
Arabia Persia and Scotia. The New York
Times says of him:
Over 400 voyages across the Atlantic. to and
from New York, were made by Capt Judklns
without the loss Of a single lie ana WITHOUT
material injury to the vessels he commanded
SO great was his popularity that it was COM
mon thing for passengers TO wait over untl the
vessel he commanded was ready to sail. and

we're always placed under his protection; all q

Of those who had made passages with him. On

Much odium has been cast upon me for not

ton Of this system strenuously when proposed
But since 1t has gone into operation / have
found that the specifications are so loosely
drawn that the contractors can be held to no

they choose to do. I cannot. without the Coun-
Gil. bring the city into court to litigate with
them nor can / afford to stand personally the
great expense Of individual mandamus suits.

await me.

have the matter acted upon by tho Council, Sc
cured thousands Of names, many Of them large
property holders and mon Of position. certify
ing that the city had never been cleaner and
the lists published occupied nearly the whole
Of one sheet Of the papers publishing them.
When the contract system was adopted my
facilities for street cleaning were taken away
from me. and the public had no dependence but
the contractor, such as 1t was. Had stopped
this machinery by hopeless litigation and left
the city completely uncleaned what would have
been the verdict of the people?
I have been gOaded to make this appeal by
what / believe to be foul conspiracy against
me: and to solicit a suspension of public opin-
ion; for, with time and oven half justice before
this committee, will come out with q record rs
bright as had hoped ever to maintain In tho
meantime I trust my friends will do me the
justice to stand between me and the successful
calumniaion Of this atrocous conspiracy.

AN APPEAL.
Camp Street Female Orphan Asylum.

On behalf of 100 helpless orphans, committed
to their charge, the Sisters of Charity of the
New Orleans Female Orphan Asylum, Camp
street. appeal to the benevoence of the public
for means to continue their support. All these
orphans are under the age of thirteen years
Eighty of them have been seized with the
prevailing epidemic and suffered for want of
proper food, clothing and medicines until re-
lieved by the noble Howard Association.
The other children not yet attacked are In no
less need The subsistence of all is precariOus
from day to day, the sum Of donations received
from public and private sources having shrunk
under pressure Of the times and general sick
ness to an amount insufficient to provide the
common necessaries of life. They appeal not
only for present aid, but in vieWof the gloomy
prospect Of the approaching season, respect
fully solicit contributions in money Or in kind
to meet their large Indebtedness for food al
ready incurred, and make some provision, at
least, against the rigors of the coming winter.
The oldest Catholic asylum in the city, and
out question as to, origin or creed, it must ap
peal to the general public, no particular parish
or portion of the city being charged with Its
maintenance. Thousands of orphans have on
tered its doors and been saved to society, and
their gateful prayers have risen daily and will
continue to ascend invoking Gods choicest
blessings, both temporal and eternal. on all
their generous friends and benefactors.
