sult in failure. Jackson county has tried
il n number of years, and is heartily sick of
it. The voters will doubtless throw it off
next November, and at once return to the
older and simpler plan of County Commits
sioners.
The country will breathe freer, now
we feel load fall from our shoulders, ever
here in Cairo. Congress has adjourned
The food of party and buncombe speeches
that poured out from Washington, upon the
patient people, has been arrested; and for a
breathing spell at least, the American peo'
pie are spared the reading of Mr.. Hayes
veto literature. It is blessed relief.
--Jailor Mahoney's report for June shows
that the nineteen prisoners received into the
jail during the month, boarded with him
124 days, which was an average of over six
days to each prisoner A majority of the
prisoners were of the male persuasion, yet
the labor of three men one day, constitutes
all the labor performed on the streets dur
ing the month. The bill for dieting
amounted to $4,000.
The paralyzed horse to which we refer
red yesterday, was permitted to lie in the
burning sun all day, and was there late at
night, Passing animals attached to car
riages, etc, took fright at it, and the hair
breadth escapes from disastrous run-a-ways,
were numerous. Some humane boys seeing
the afflicted creature was nearly parched of
thirst, carried it some water-which was a
very kind-hearted thing for the boys to do.
Our young people, in fact all kinds of
respectable people, are looking forward
with pleasant expectation to the moonlight
excursion on the Eckert. The spacious
cabin and guards will accommodate hun
dreds; the music will be the best in the
city, and the management will be of the
watchful, patient character that will afford
everybody chance to share in the festivi-
ties. The boat will leave the Cairo wharf
at o'clock p. m.
Milton Jenkins bid was the only one
reported to the city council, yesterday
morning, for the reconstructing sidewalks.
| Was this so because other carpenters were
not informed OF the councils purpose tc
receive bids, or was it the only bid because
Milton is the only individual in the city
who cares to perform that kind of work
While we pause for an answer, the com.
mittee on streets, etc, will pass upon the
Jenkins proposal.
Don't lose sight OF the fact that the
rational way to enjoy yourself tomorrow
will be fill basket with edibles; board the
Eckert, at 0 O'Clock, and, leaving the heat
and dust of the city, spend the day in the
woods at Mayberry's landing. The recrea-
ton will cost but little, you will enjoy it,
the wife and children, the aunts, sisters and
cousins will enjoy it, and, having enjoyed
it, you will thank THE BULLETIN for It's
suggestion that you go, Don't fail to 60,
If our hackmen would establish regu-
lar routes, charging five cents for all dis
tances under quarter of a mile, and ten
cents for all distances over, the arrange
ment would bring them in many dimes
they now never see. Scores of persons
would avail themselves of the use of the
hacks for trips to the post Office, if the cost
were only ten cents but daily outlay of
twenty cents, they do not feel themselves
able to stand.
About three o'clock, yesterday after
noon, a strange woman, carrying a carpet
sack, called at the residence Of Will Ken
dali, on Thirty. fourth street, and asked
Will for permission to leave her carpet
sack, as she didn't wish to lug it about
with her Will consented; the woman de-
posted the sack at the front door, and left
the premises. A few minutes later Kendall
observed the carpet sack moving, appar.
emily without any human agency; and very
soon afterwards from the inside Of
the animated carpet sack came
the squall Of baby. fastening tC
the door he recalled the strange woman
who was yet within hearing, and compelled
her to take away her baggage. There cal
be no doubt that it was the purpose Of thu
woman to abandon the child to Kendall
care; and we shall not be at all surprised i
some family in the city, finds itself thi
morning, in the possession of one bah,
more than belongs it.
