The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-06-22

tween Cairo and Charleston clubs, are spo-
ken of as additional features Of the pro-
gramme.
Somebody moved by an unconQnera'
bic penchant for pigeon pot-pie, or by
pure cussedness, made raid on Roberts
pigeon cote Friday night, and robbed it of
all of the birds, old and young, even the
unfeged, helpless squads. A liberal sprink-
ling of duck shot, is what the fellow de-
scrved--not pigeon pot-pie, what he re-
ceived probably.
The sidewalk on Tenth street, be-
yond DR.. Arter's residence to Cedar
street is in shocking condition, and as it
is much travelled it should be put in order
at once. There are holes IN it from one to
five feet in width, and great danger is in
Cured by walking over it after night-fall.
Citizens in that vicinity complain of the
neglect, and certainly not uureasonably.
Isaac is a colored man. He and his
wife Anna no longer ABIDE under the same
roof. At late hour Friday night Isaac
passed Annals domicil, and detecting the
presence of colored masculine
holding pleasant confab therein, he let
90 of brick he held in his his hand, and
the missile flew through the window and
Isaac flew down the street, and finally into
the clutches of officer Gladney. That's
the way the story is told, at all events.
"A blind man who had come over from
Kentucky with two horse wagon load OF
leaf tobacco, lost a horse collar and lot OF
harness from his wagon while his son was
driving the team down the levee on the
return trip; and the lost articles fell into
the hands of couple of negroes. The ne
groes stubbornly refused to surrender pos
session unless they were paid half dollar,
and not until the police interfered were
the goods given up. Such happenings as
this are not calculated to give our neigh
bors very exalted opinion of Cairo, or its
market, either.
Harper for July is on our table, and
we find in it everything essential to per-
feet magazine. Its contents and illustra-
tons are such as can be found in no other
publication on earth, and it can be compared
with nothing save its own previous num-
beers. Copies can be bought at our book
stores, aud in what way can our people
more pleasantly or proftably spend this
blessed Sabbath day, than in a perusal of
the neat, the admirably filled and artistic
ally illustrated pages of Harper, for July
1872
Because the Cairo and Nencennes
railroad company has given no tangeable
evidence of a purpose to go ahead WITH IFS
union depot project, it must not be infer
red that the matter has passed out ofmind.
The plans and specifications have been
completed and the company is gathering
data whereby it may determine whether
it will be the cheaper to buy material and
hire labor, or to let out the whole thing by
by contract. The force of bridge builders
visited the city the other day, and looked
around With view to clearing the ground
of its encumberances.
MIR. E. c. Ford is the sole agent for
the manufacture and sale, in this section Of
the country, of Browns patent Ironing
Board, the best thing Of the kind ever
brought to our notice. 1t does away with
the chairs and other supports. 1t may be
rested on table or ndow ledge end is
so arranged that it braces and supports
itself. Mr.. Ford has sold nearly two hun
dred and has reduced the price to one
dollar-about the same as that OF the
ordinary ironing board. No housewife
having once seen their completeness and
convenience, will do without them. They
are manufactured and for sale at the Var.
iety Bracket Store, Commercial avenue,
between Ninth and Tenth streets.
A good many amusing scenes grow out
of the enforcement OF the dog ordinance.
One OF the negro catchers brought in a dog,
the other day that belonged to woman
living in the upper pat of the city. Lea a.
ing what had become Of the dog she hast.
ened to headquarters and let herself out.
The taking Of the dog was an outage.
1t was very useful to her, as it watched her
house when she YVES away, and she would
rather have gwen 'en dola,s than have been
served such scaly trick; and now she
wanted her dog to take home again. The
Chief Informing her that she would have to
pay S2.25 charges, she chPngcd her tune
Immediately. "What? Two dollars and a
quarter for such miserable. lp1k, worth
less little brute as that2-a creature that is
worth nothing to nobody. Its n shame 10
