The Legislature of Illinois is about to
denouncc as criminal, that which the
vicious literature Of the day has popularized,
viz the marriage Of first cousins. The
bill, already through the senate, declares
such marriages incestuous, and void. The
mere contemplation of such unions is re,
voting, and if there is any truth in the
teachings Of physiology the progeny of such
parents are liable to be, and frequently are,
human monstrosities, The bill ought to
pass the house and become law.
Carl Peters hennery is proving an TN,
expected success. His processes insure
good health among his fowls, and brings
chick that is just out of the shell up to the
estate of a "spring chicken" so rapidly that,
unconscious of its size, and governed only
by its young instincts, it seeks its customary
shelter after it is big enough to hoist the
mother hen, bodaciously, six inches from
the ground In other words, after three
weeks, the mother-hen may ride one of her
chickens; but she can't "gather it under
her wings"
Mr.. John Rolston the Briton to whom
we referred, yesterday, called at the Office;
but the editor Gas has been the case during
| the week. was out. Mr. Rolston avows
purpose to vindicate his rights. He was
merely setting upon the steps, violating no
law, human or divine, and his arrest was
nothing less, he says, than an unwarranted
exercise of "brief authority" suggested by
personal resentment, and nothing else. This
is his opinion, and the City Attorney evil
IDENTIFY shared it, else he would not have
dismissed the prosecution.
Carl Peters has nine farm wagons for
sale, and very wisely advertises them in
THE BULLETIN. Having quit the wagon
making business he will close out this lot
at very low prices. Better wagons were
never put up in Cairo, as Carl never learned
how to slight job or use bad material.
He has reputation as an honest man and
reliable mechanic that he would not dam
age to effect the sale Of nine hundred wag-
ons. If, then, any of our readers want an
everlasting wagon, very cheap, Carl Peters
is the man upon whom they should call.
On the downward trip of the Fisk, a
day or two ago one of the passengers who
was stranger, evinced great anxiety to
realize the Money on some checks he had on
the city of New Orleans Unable to get
the cash on a $3.50 check he had, he
concluded he could get along if he could
realize on two other checks, one for SEQ and
one for $50. He realized and the hold
ers of the checks hold that much worthless
paper. The sharper left the boat al this
city, and the police, it is said, have been
keeping a watch for him; but so far with.
