SOMETHING OF THE LATE PEsTrLENcE AND
THE BULLETINS SHARE IN IT.
When men are moved by panic they
are, in many particulars, not unlike mob
moved by anger or resentment. Their dis
erection yields to impulse, and they do and
say things which, in their cooler moments,
invite the reproof Of their own copsciences.
Acting under such spell not a few Of the
good people of Cairo have heaped upon the
BULLETIN building and its owner storm
of reproaches and anathemas, which to a
timid man like him Of the BULLETIN, were
as appalling ss they were plentiful.
Mr.. Nally sickened and died in his room

young Crofton and young Sullivan, all Of

friends and relatives, elsewhere These
results, following in quick succession, Gre
ated much alarm throughout the entire
city. The proprietor Of The BuLLE-
TIN and the surviving attaches OF the
Office, left the city, and then 1t was that
busy tongues commenced their ven.
omous wagging: "Nally, ct ais. had
contracted their sickness from local causes
the BULLETIN building was breeder Of
pestilence, and giver ont Of dread miasma
that stole abroad by night or in broad day

cellar was a cess-pool-a reeking reservoir
of unapproachable nastiness, and, oh,
horror. "the proprietor Of the BULLETIN
precipitously fled the city, leaving the dead
body Of poor Nally, where the breath had
left it, to undergo, there, the sickening pro-
cess Of decomposition" Furthermore, and
equally shocking, "the cistern water used
by the family and the other inmates Of the
building was as deadlya liquid as hydro.
cyanic acid, or the sap Of the deadly upas
tree" These and other unfriendly and
damaging fabrications were passed from
tongue to cor, until worn threadbare by
constant repetition. Some Of them, and
they of the most damaging and exaspera.
ting, found their way into the papers.
We have charity enough to believe that
nine out Of every ten Of our citizens who
repeated these slanderous fslsehoods did

THE CAMPAIGN.

THE DEMOCRATIC RALLY LAST NIGH At THE
ANTHENEUM - ABLE AND PATRIOTIC
SPEECHES BY HON. X. T. LiNEGAR AND T.
". HALLIDAY.
The Democrat, rally at the Atheneum
last night was perfect success, both in
point Of numbers in attendance and the
speeches made. Although the notice Of the
meeting was short the attendance was large
and the house was fairly filed with an en-
thusiastic crowd.
Hon. Thos. Wilson, chairman Of the
county Democratic central committee,
presided, and read letter from
the Hon. S. s. Marshall, stating his inabili.
ty to be present, but giving words Of cheer
and hope for the success Of Democratic
principles in this part of the state. AT the
conclusion Of the reading of Judge Mar.
shall's letter, Hon. D. T. Linegar was called
to the stand. Mr.. Linegar opened his
speech by saying that never in his ex-
perience had he known a time when the
people were so anxious and willing to hear
the questions Of the day argued in fair
manner than in the present campaign, This
he regarded as good forerunner Of bet
ter era in the politics Of the country.
He then proceeded to discuss the fnan.
cial question, and for nearly two hours he
held the large audience attentive listeners.
It is impossible for us tonight to give any.
thing like full report Of the speech, and
we will only say that it was mastery eff
fort, and the speaker was frequently
applauded. Hon. r. W. Halliday,
Democratic candidate for representative,
made short address, defining his position
on questions more Of state and local impor.
lance than with reference to national poll.

Another case Of sickness among the
uptown coopers, developed itself yesterday
But as it Is the opinion Of epidemic ex.
perts that it is impossible to contract
the disease while the thermometer ranges
at present figures, but little alarm is fell
in any quarter.
Nearly all our people who left the city
during the yellow fever excitement have re.
turned, and our streets once more present
their Did time appearance. Business, too,
is resuming its wonted way and merchants
generally anticipate lively and lucrative
trade during the remainder Of the fall and
winter.
--Frequenters of the Cairo market have
no cause, now, for any hesitation about Wis
iting the city. The repeated frosts and
freezes have efiectuallv nipped the germs
of the epidemic in the bud. Our quaran-
tine has been raised, refugees have returned,
and business is rapidly assuming its wonted
aspect of life and activity.
Nick Williams wishes it said, through
TIE BULLETIN, that he is again on hand,
and resumes business this morning. His
shop, at the corner of Twentieth and WASH
ington, will be found supplied with beef,
pork, veal, sausage and mutton Of as choice
kind as is kept in the city. Nlck's shop
is a necessity in the nelghborhood where it
is located
-Conjecturing that somebody will find
something in the columns Of the BULLETIN
to-day, that will serve them as warrant
for giving h--ll to Oberly," we feel called
upon to say that Mr.. Oberly was in Carbon.
dale when the paper went to press, and as
utterly ignorant of the contents Of the Bull.
IETIN as were "Hole-in-theD Day" or "The-
Young. Mar. Afraid of His Horses"
We are much gratifed with our re-
ception from our patrons. Among the many
hundred who take TIE BULLETIN in the
city, two are afraid to read it before De-
cember, two stopped because times are 20
hard, and one because we would not send
it until arrears were paid up. To balance
these losses, we have added eight new
names to our list, with prospects Of many
more.
The Jonesboro Gazette says that "Jobn
@. Hartman, the Democratic nominee for
Appellate Clerk, formerly resided in Jones
boro, and is we'll and favorably known to
the democracy of old Union. John has no
superior in clerical capacity, and will be
elected in this Grand Division by large
majority, on next Tuesday" The citizens
or Cairo, among whom Mr.. Hartman has re-
sided for more than quarter Of 3 century,
will endorse all that the Gazette has said
and more. As circuit clerk, Mr.. Hartman
had no superior in Illinois, and he will be
no less efficient in the responsible position
to which his fellow.citizens intend, on
Tuesday next, to elect him.

The National Scourge.

1t is estimated that the annual dam
ages caused by the ravages OF insects and
worms exceed $3.50 900 900 in the United
States alone. Truly an enormous loss
Yet it sinks into insgn6cance when
compared with the ravages of that more
terrible scourge, Consumption, which
annually sweeps hundreds of thousands
of human souls into eternity. The causes
of consumption are various, dependingin in
every instance for the development of
the disease upon the scrofulous diathesis,
or temperament OF the victim Thus the
same cause which will produce in one
person an attack of acute disease or
slight nervous prostration, will engender
consumption in person of scrofulous
habit That consumption can be cured
by proper treatment will be readily per-
ceived when the exact nature of the dis
ease is understood, viz. the accumulation
and deposition of scrofulous matter
(tubercles) in the lungs. Obviously the
principal remedies required are O a
powerful Alternative, or cleanse the blood
of the scrofulous matter, and (2) mild
cathartic to expel the diseased matter
from the system. This course of treat
ment, in conjunction with a strict by
gienic regime, has proved the most sue
cessful method of curing this disease.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purgative Pellets are the
best alternative and cathartic remedies
before the public, and have been alone
used in thousands of cases OF consump-
Uion with the most marked efficiency.
DR.. Pierces Invaids Hotel, at Buffalo,
N. Y, affords special and une equaled ad-
vantages to consumptives, not only pos
s~ssing the best medical and hygienic
means OF treatment but having the essen
tial advantage of being situated in eli
mate where the inhabitants are notably
free from this disease.

Store Pay.

The Grand Jury of Jackson county
according to advices received at the Of
Ace Of the State Bureau of Labor Stats
tics, has found indictments against coal
and iron companies in that county char
ed with paying employees in goods, scrip
check, etc in violation of the law passed
last winter Senator DUNCAN has been
appointed by Court as special prosecutor
on the part of the State. The defence
will be on the ground that the law is un
constitutional and interteres with the
validity OF contracts The case is one
which will attract much attention in the
coal and iron regions. and will be hotly
contested on both sides.
We find the above in the Ohio States
man. If we understand the provisions
of one of these laws. it makes it crime
to make a contract to pay in anything
except money. A farmer cannot con-
tract for a horse to be paid for in corn a
newspaper publisher cannot contract to
advertise and take his pay in type, no
matter how well such contract may suit
both parties.

a FABLE.

There was once very cunning old fox,
whom we will call Sam. He was very
ambitious fox. and worked INCREASINGLY
for his own interest If he could only
install himself safely il the barpyard,
his most ambitious dreams would be re-
allied. This barnyard was a great place,
and contained great many fine animals
Sam did not like the way in which the
poultry were managed, so he went about,
and sent other foxes about, among all
the animals, crying fraud against the
managers of the harnyard the affairs Of
which, he claimed, were going to rack
and ruin.
So it chanced that there was to be q
selection ol ruler Tor this great barnyard
The candidates for this honorable posi-
ton were Sam, the fox, and q noted calf
which had been on exhibition at many
county Fairs.
1t was noticed that when the animals
Of the barnyard congregated for the Sc
lection of a ruler, the rats and weasels
were wildly enthusiastic in working for
the fox. However, the calf was selected
as the chief, whereupon the fox and the
rats and the weasels raised great squeak
of fraud, asserting that the whole race Of
animals would be utterly ruined.
1t chanced that some fine fowls, which
the owner, by an odd conceit had named
Revenue, Income, &c, had disappeared
The fox and his friends looked wise, and
pointed to the calf and his friends, and
said I'VE told you sol
So the friends OF the calf instituted q
searching investigation, and 10 the
wings and feathers of large number ot
missing fowls were found in the den o
the fox AS they were brought forth the
fox was silent for some time, but at last
he denied all the rats denied, and the
weasles denied.
The inhabitants Of the barnyard then
in formed Sam that they did not consider
him fit creature to preside over them
whereupon he retired to his den. and the
outcry of fraud against the calf and his
friends, was heard no more.
