!. adapted to all uses where the real stone can
be employed, it promises to become espec
tally useful in Southern Illinois inthe man
ufacture of sewer pipe. Neither heat MOI

effect upon it. II becomes as hard as gran

the pipe can be made of any size desired, q
10 inch pipe, with fall of inches to the
100 feet having discharging capacity Of
800 gallons per minute. 1t can he used
wherever iron or clay pipe may be used,
and its superiority suggests itself.
Mr.. Klein will have machine
or mould for the manufac-
ture of the pipe, in working order in a
short time, and will soon be in condition
to supply demands when he will tell the
readers of The BULLETIN something fur

For some time, in fact for long time
it has been unsafe for either citizen or
stranger to pass along Commercial near
Fifth street, at any hour of the night, after
~ o'clock. More men have been garrotted,
Knocked down and robbed, or been robbed
| without being knocked down, In that vicin-
| ity, than in all the balance of the city.
George Stadler was passing along there,
about Il o'clock, a few nights ago, and see.
ing crowd of eight or ten negroes on the
sidewalk, had no thought of being molested
in the presence of so many persons but the
moment he entered the crowd one negro
seized him by the shoulders while another
negro nfed his pockets. George had $3.50
in his pockets; but the robber did
his work so clumsily that he found
only $3.50. Obtaining this booty, the ras-
Gals started George out of the crowd with a
violent push, admonishing him that if he
looked back he'd get his head Knocked off.
This is certainly quite trough deal for
an old citizen to be subjected to, on the
open streets Of the city-but who can help
it and how! As long as that part of the
city is made the rendezvous of gamblers
rufians, bawds and dead.beats, such things
are bound to occur, and to occur frequently
The name of Miles W. Parker is used
elsewhere, in connection with candidacy
for the office of County Treasurer. He is a
man who will be warmly supported, for sew.
eral reasons. He is a man of excellent
common sense and ripe Judgment. He was
born and raised almost in sight Of Cairo,
and is therefore well acquainted with the
property of the city and county, and can
form Just and intelligent estimates of its
value. He is honest and incoruptible. and
VIII prove as true to the line of duty as the
needle to the pole. He is a poor man. to
whom the emoluments of the Office, though
small, will prove most welcome and
grateful help; and finally, he is a deserving,
generous hearted fellow, in every way
worthy Of the position he seeks. 1t is our
opinion that, should Parker be elected, no
man will ever have occasion to feel any
self-reprobation because he helped to elect
him.
We have, IN Cairo, dozens and scores
of boys, both white and black, who indulge
in species of malicious mischief that is
more or less cxasperating to the public, and
especially so to the parties directly con-
cerncd. We refer to the destruction and

1t matters nothing to these abandoned
boys how costly or attractive the posters
may be, or for what purpose they are
