The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-08-27

Cairo twenty years or more, ana every BODY
speaks of her rs q deserving woman.
The Marine hospital contains only ten
patients at this time, The last arrival was
that of Young man who had been working
on the lower river, who came by boat to a
point short distance below No. /, reached
Fort Jefferson, stayed there a short time,
and then came on by skif to Cairo. The
means he employed to get around quaran-
tine. were not disclosed until he had been
in the hospital several days
-Archy Robinson having from so to 100
days imprisonment hanging over his head
skipped out several days ago, and 1t was
hoped the city was happily rid OF his pres
cnee. But the hope was delusiye, Monday
night policeman Tyler came up on Archie
and took him in to finish out his term in the
calaboosc The city ought to provide con
slant employment for such fellows, or hire
out their time to the best bidder.
Lizzie Fowler and Catherine Letter,
brace Of Era2en-taccd nymphs
were arrested yesterday,
for Haunting themselves" too conspicuous
ly ON the public highways, Arrests of
like character should be made every day,
until the more impudcnt of the gaudy cyp-
rians are retired from the streets again.
Such presenccs have become entirely too
numerous of late.
We are apprehcnsiye that our physi-
clans IN both city and county are quite
careless in their observance ofthc birth and
death registry law. During the month Of
July only sixteen births and six deaths for
the whole county, were reported. These
returns are so palpably out of accord with
the facts, that a respectable, pointed al
tidayit as to their correctness, could not he
procured, il needed, for less than three
dollars
"A number of black boys decoyed a
little white boy into the box factory lumber
yard, yesterday, and tortured the little tcl-
low in manner that was cruel, even fcnd-
sh. With pins fixed in the ends Of sticks
they prodded the little lad until his con
tinucd cries arrested the attention Of wo-
man. living fully two hundred yards away,
who came to his relief. The boys body was
puncturcd in scores and perhaps hundreds
of places, and it is not improbable that the
Young sayages would have scriouscly in
ured the child had he been beyond the
reach of help
-CentralIa has organized building and
lean association, the like OF which We have
often urged as one of the needs Of Cairo.
The members met Monday night, and elect
ed nine directors. The capital stock is fixed
at 100000 divided into 1000 shares. No
person will be allowed to subscribe tor more
than 50 shares. An assessment OF s. q
month upon each share will be made
until the full amount is paid in. The money
thus accumulated is loaned to members who
may desire to build. a reasonable rate OF
interest is exacted, and The returns thus Sc
cured form the dividends of the stockhold
ers. That such associations are blessings to
honest mechanics or working men who
would provide homes for their families; and
also great promoters of the growth Of the
towns in which they are organized, are
facts entirely too apparent to require urg-
ing,
| The owner of one Of the corn.tields on
the outskirts, is much annoyed by the
Reverend Jacob BradIcy's mule. If ever
mortal man had occasion to Spite q mule
he has occasion to 'spi2e the Reverend
Jacobs. 1t gets into his corn-tield, He
turns 1t out, and it gets in again. This
turning out and getting in has been re-
pcatcd so often that it has lost all its novel
ty. 1t is the only mule of the three hun
drcd owned in the city that foragcs ON his
growing corn. He has notified Jacob Of
the mules frequent trcsspasses; but go into
his field when and as often as he may,
there he finds that persistent, long-earncd
progeny of a jack ass, Yet little longer
and we shall expect to hear Of the enforce
mcnt, about that field, Of shotgun quar-
antine.'
The mere closing of The doors of our
saloons has hitherto been recognized as a
compliance with our ordinance prohibiting
the sale OF liquor on Sunday. Although it
has been known to every officer who las
served the city at any time during the past
ten years, that liquor was sold behind the
closed doors of every saloon in the
city, no saloon Keeper has ever
; been prosecuted. For this reason
