The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-06-14

Neither the new shoes nor the cashmere
hat has beeh found. Concerning the money
he lost, the corner sleeper says not word
only sits no natter" and as money is
matter, the remark is problematical
Years of experience enables the aver.
age policeman to detect the thief or rascal
on sight. There is an indescribable some
thing in the bearing, countenance or con-
duct of the wrong.doer that gives him away
every time he comes in contact with the ex-
perienced policeman. A few days ago,
stranger arrived in Cairo, bringing with
him horse. The average citizen could
detect no difference between this stranger
and his horse and any other mounted stran-
ger, butnot SO with the practiced eye of the
old policeman. John Sheehan saw the
man, and had not eyed him two seconds
until he decided that the fellow was thief,
and horse thief at that. Assured OF the
correctness of his conjectures he took the
fellow in charge, wormed from him the
name of J. W. Alexander, and the fact that
he had come from Memphis. Mr. Sheehan
Immediately wired the Memphis Chief OF
Police and was informed, in due time, that
Mr.. J. w. Alexander was wanted in Mem
phis to answer the charge of horsc-steal-
ing. The animal he had in his possession
had been stolen from the Third street liv-
cry stable. AS Alexander did nothing that
was inconsistent with an honest ownership
of the horse, what did Sheehan see in the
man that marked him as horse thief
The great and constantly growing de-
mand for freight cars on the western and
southern roads, suggests the establishment
here in Cairo of an establishment to supply
That demand No where else in the United
States, perhaps, can there be found so many
of the prerequisites to success. Every we'll
built car in use in the South and Southwest
is of Northern or Eastern manufacture
was brought from points a thousand miles
distant, and the material Of which it was
constructed was collected at the manufac-
tory from points perhaps equally re-
mote. That large and properly managed
car building industry here in Cairo would
be we'll patronized is incontestibly proven
by the fact that the needs of the South ere
ate large demand; and that such an In
dustry would prove immensely remunera-
tive is susceptible of actual demonstration.
In the item of lumber and timber-the con-
venience and low price Of pine, oak and
hickory--Caro possesses an advantage that
ought to, in itself give the manufacturer
here good margin for profit. But this is
but one of the grand total of the advaatag-
es that will impress itself upon any intelli-
gent man that may choose to enter upon an
investigation. While the locality presents
all the advantages presented by the most
favored points, it also presents many and
most important ones that are peculiar to
itself. Hence, let a car building interest
in Caro- be established when it may, the
man or set of men who establish it, will
have started themselves on the high road to
fortune.
| If newspaper men were infalible the
pursuit of the profession would be "life
among the roses" But, being as they are,
very close akin to humanity IN general, they
are given to the errors and short-sighted-
ness of their kind-mistakes and blunders
that bring them in almost daily contact
with broad shouldered men who, in show
Of no gentle mood, demand to know 'why
in h-ll they did," or ''wby in h-ll they
dldntl" Only yesterday we expressed the
hope that the Detas, Arabs, Roughs, Cas-
mos, Turner's or some other organization
of the city, would engineer a celebration of
the coming 4th, in st. Mary's park. We
didn't mention the Hibcrnians because we
had received the impression that it was the
purpose of that enterprising organization
to oXcurse across the river and picnic in
the woods of Kentucky; and, further, we
concluded that, whether the impression was
authorized or unauthorized, the remark
cor some other respectable organization
would certainly include the Hbernians It
turned out, however, that our impression
was at fault. While we were writing the
paragraph in question, the Hibernans were
in session, arranging the preimnaries for
celebration of the 4th in the park; and
had never even discussed the project of a
celebration elsewhere. We feel kindly dis
posed towards the Hibernians. They have
been steadfast and liberal patrons of THE
BULLETIN office, and as they are prompt
and efficient tiremen, we are glad to num-
Der them among our near ncighbors; hence
this prompt amende honorable, and the
