The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-10-10

to be present. Mr.. obcrly will probably
be there IN any event; but Halliday,
Wright, Wood, Linegar and Thistlcwood
4 ought to be there to cooperate win him.
/ --Blacksmiths, carpenters, painters, mer-
chants, tailors, everybody seems to be busy
We pushed inquiries, yesterday, among the
business men Of Commercial avenue, and
only found one man who felt at all inclined
togrumble, and he confessed that there had
been marked improvement. The truth is
not to be disguised. Business Of all kinds
is good.
NO arrests were effected yesterday OIL
during the night before. About 4 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon we saw gathering Of
fifteen or twenty individuals, near Eighth
and Levee, that promised to originate all
the business during the night that the pc.
lice force would care to attend to. 1t was
the toughest gang we have seen in many a
day.
The skating rink was opened last
night, and quite crowd Of our best peo-
| pie was there to share in the festivi-
ties of the evening. Mr.. Pettis guards the
reputation of his establishment jealousy,
and no one need entertain the slightest APP
prehension that he or she will meet any one
in the rink who is not of good repute and
respectable standing.
Just before midnight, Wednesday
night John Sackburger discovered that
| some rascallion had made a tour of part of
his house, bursted open a couple OF trunks,
carried off an overcoat and several
other articles, and left, in the
house, the chisel with which he
operated. The chisel has been recog-
nized, and may furnish clue to the name
and whereabouts of the burglar.
1t would be well for citizens to keep a
lookout as well as lock, upon their valu-
ables. There is an unusual number of sus-
picious characters in the city, and nobody
can tell what devilment night may de-
velop. 1t must not be expected that our
couple of pairs Of watchmen can patrol the
whole city and keep an eye on individual
dwellings and business houses. 1t is be-
You'd the ability of any tour or any ten men
to 10 so.
We are now repaying, with compound
interest added, the immense shipments of
cabbages the South sent into our Northern
markets while we were yet contending
with trosts and freezes. At the depot OF
the Illinois Central, yesterday, were five
immense box cars packed full of immense
cabbage heads en- route South Other cars
had gone ahead and still Others are to come
forward. If aggregated in one heap, the
beholder would stand appalled, at such an
alpine height of cabbages.
Until yesterday morning The BU1LE-
TIN was afflicted with a compositor who
was never known to "set up" the name of q
'treet according to copy. For Seventh
street he would give us Seventeenth, for
Fourteenth he would give us Fourth, and
so on, until the thing became so insufera-
bic that we do not now, and never expect
to feel any computations of conscience for
having cremated him in the furnace of our
boiler room, 1t was trough on him" for
few minutes; but he had been merclless
with us for several weeks.
Passing the corner of Eighteenth and
Poplar, yesterday evening, we noted down
the fact that hands were at work construct
ing much needed walk across Eighteenth.
Cheney, patting the neck of trim built and
sprightly animal, challenged US with:
What you dotting down, Mr.. Harrellm
We told him. aye rejoined he, 81
thought you were saying that Cheney has
the finest and fastest mare in Cairo; and |
was going togive credit for telling the truth"
And it is handsome animal for fact;
but as to the matter Of speed, there may be
those who will take issue with Mr.. Cheney.
The general interest in the New York
walking match is tagging. OF the thirty
five pedestrians who entered, twenty have
petered out, leaving only fifteen on the
track. OF these the little Havenstraw
briclmaker, Murphy, retains the lead, and
seems to be the tavorite At one o'clock
yesterday morning, he had scored $50
miles, being within "A miles of Rowe's
best time. Faber comes next, with 9t9
miles; Allen 9G2, Spellary 900 and Howard
2GO. The Others run behind, from 10 to
100 miles Of the 81 pedestrians in the
San Francisco long walk, only three scored
$50 miles and upward. Mcintyre made
his 800 miles; Carmichael47s, and Scott ASS.
1t is estimated that one hundred thou
