pay her expenses 10 Union City. She has
been assured that DR.. Edwards can remove
the distractions from the surface Of the
eye-ball and restore the sight. But the ex-
pense is more than her mother can provide
for, and there seems nothing else for her TO
do but sit down and let the long night
come on.
Dick Hodge, Samuel johnson and
Thomas Hurt, all colored were sent to Jail
by Squire Robinson, yesterday evening, be-
cause of their inability to give security in
the sum of 800 each, that they would be
on hand to await the action of the grand
jury. An old gentleman named Mac Nc
Even, feeling exhausted, fell asleep yester-
day, in the c. and V. freight house. When
he awoke he found hole cut into his
pocket, and his S. or SO gone. The evil
dcncc against the parties named being pref
ty strong, Schuckers and Hogan arrested
them and Robinson jailed EN- as above
stated,
Herr Skoot is one of those singu-
larly fortunate colored men who have won
the treasures of white wives, But it was
not his good fortune to retain his jewel.
She left him, a few days ago, and took up
quarters elsewhere. Yesterday evening
skoot called upon her, and used all the per
suasion of which he was capable to get her
to return; but she was incorrigible, She
had had three husbands before she got him
and she was tired of men-she had had her
fill of them, and would be wife to no man
any more. Skoot begged and implored,
and Mrs. Skoot stopping in meditative
mood, as if she were half persuaded, Skoot
thought to incline the balance in his favor
by kissing her. But it was an ill-starred
thought. She dealt him clout in the face
with dish-rag! 1t was enough. That
blow sealed her doom. He turned on his
heel, and left her, to grub as she may for her
own living, uncheered by the thought a
loving husband is in wait for her return to
take charge of her earnings.
If the Mississippi valley is again smit-
ten with the yellow fever, Cairo can and
must, profit by the terrible lessons she
learned less than twelve-month ago. We
learned then that Paducah, Columbus, Cape
Girardeau, even Mound City, at our very
doors, escaped the scourge, because thell
quarantine gates were not thrown open to
the Poyters, that came reeking with the
germs of the disease from the fever smitten
ports OF the South. We learned that Cairo
did NOT escape, because our quarantine
gates we're opened and the Porters came ill.,
We must profit by this lesson. Our expert
ence tells us that, should we be smitten
again, we must call things by their right
names. If a case Of yellow fever makes its
appearance among US, it must be called
yellow fever, and not "pernicious bilious.
If we are threatened, as we were
last year, we must put ourselves
in readiness tor the worst, before the
worst is upon US; and above all, we must
summon to our aid the deliberation, the
resoluteness Of purpose, and the practical
common sense that then were conspicuous,
alone because of their absence. We feel
an abiding confidence in the opinions Of
those who, being well informed, declare
that the disease will not assume an cpl
demic form during the present year. But,
should these forecasts prove at fault, an the
disease SHOULD assume an epidemic form,
let US guard against both concealment and
exaggeration. Could the people Of Cairo
feel assured that they will be informed Of
the worst when the worst is al
hand, the assurance would fortify
them against panic, and give
their practical common sense, a chance tc
assert itself. To this work THE BULLETIN
promises to lend itself, commencing now
with the assurance that single sporadic
case, the first of the season in city o.
100000 inhabitants, ESQ miles away, il
not sufficient cause for immediate alarm in
Cairo.
