will postpone their swims until after night
fall.
Pat Corcoran, "the solid Muldoon" o.
the Fifth ward, is the watchmcn of tho
government works on the Mississippi. liz
informs us that % men are constantly en-
gagged, and are pushing the work ahead
quite encouragingy. Barney kearncy is
the superintendent.
Health officer Wooten, bringing ten or
fifteen men to the work yesterday, about
finished up the removal ct the touIness
from the barge Thorpe, II was an UNI
wholesome job, and required strong stom-
achs and stench-proof nostrils to deal with
it, But men were found equal to the needs
of the occasion.
The work of the Mississippi Central
car hoist during the present month has
greatly exceeded that of any month since
the establishment of that very convenient
contraption. Up to yesterday noon 1888
cars had been hoistcd, 7SS OF which were
loaded. The work at the close OF the
month will fall but little short of 80 cars a
day.
Mike ODonnel bctook himselfto the
Future Great yesterday, to look after his
racer Harlem, which is now in that city
training for a dash against time, to come OIL
when everything is pronounced ready. We
shall not be surprised to hear that Harlem
has distinguished himself and that 0 'Don-
nell returns with his pockets well lined
with greenbacks.
Green Zook, the coorcd Vulcanite, at
the corner of Poplar and Twentieth, is con-
structing what is commonly designated a
"Flying Dutchman,' which he will supply
with dapple-gray, white, rhone, bay and
sorrel hobby -horses, all of equal speed and,
according to the estimate of enthusiastic
youngsters, "perfect beauties" The Dutch
man will probably be put up at Locust
grove.
1t will be seen by our County Court
proceedings that Mrs. Ernest Breucher has
been pronounced insane. Few women have
encountered more of the bitter side of life
than she. Her husband for many years
gave way to the deepest dissipation, and
wandering off to Memphis died there, last
summer, of the yellow fever. The immcdi-
ate cause of the poor woman's insanity We
did not learn.
We acknowledge, with thanks, the re-
ceipt of pressing invitation to attend the
banquet given by the Cairo Knights of
Honor at the Arlington House, to the Iron
Banks Lodge of Columbus, Ky. As we
had, in the Council meeting. an undefera.
bic engagement, we were denied the pleas
ure Of participating in what one of the
participants assured us was one of the most
delightful reunions he ever attended.
The Social Science Journal for May
contains the paper read before the Social
Science association in Chicago, October 8,
1873, by Mrs. II. H. Candec, Of Cairo The
paper descants upon the potential Mood
for Women and is production of I'M
| questionable merit. It's great length eX-
cludcs it from the columns of TIE BuLLE-
TIN, as an entirety; but we shall try to find
place for those passages which we regard
the most telling and effective
Mrs, Sarah Bayard, who lives near
Fourteenth and Walnut, complained to
Judge Bird, yesterday, that one Mrs. Jacks
had whipped her child. The evidence con.
flrmed the charge, and Mrs, Jacks was fined
s. and the costs. The child is said to have
been only four years of age. Mrs. Jacks,
in spirit Of retaliation feeling that she
too had cause for complaint sought the
Office of squire Comings and with what
result we shall probably know to-day,
II. A. Given, now attending the Ken
lucky Military Institute, at Farmdalc, Ky.,
sends us a copy Of the X, NJ, I. News, q
little hcbdomidal,' evidently published in
the Institute building. The news shows
that Given fills the position of right field
to one Of the ba sc ball clubs, the Shippers.
The paper is in mourning for Maj. Frank
D. Perkins, professor Of literature and law
His last words were very selfassurng;
"How glorious 1t is to die when one knows
he has done his whole duty"

Ambrose w. Pyatt and Miss Jennie Susan.

accomplished young Cairo lady, will be
celebrated and following closely upon the
