especial care for consequences. Had the
fellow been sober, the falls he received
would have hurt him seriously; but being
drunk, he escaped with but little injury,
Officer Hogan finally happened along and
taking the fellow in charge, placed him in
the calaboose.
The specially Of the Milton MOBILES
troupe that will be here next Saturday
evening is "The Man of the People" 1t is
essentially an American drama, and pic
lures with singular fidelity to nature The
representative man of well known class Of
street characters. who are born with that
germ OF manhood in the heart that squalor
and wretchedness fail to extirpatc
The process by which the rude poetry Of
this mans nature is brought out, are thrill
ing, and present situations and effect of the
most impressive character. The action
never relapscs into dullness, or the dia-
lOGue INTO meulOCrlty.
One of the candidates for one of the
city offices to be filled next month, is adver
Using his candidacy through the the me
dunn of circulars. Others seem to think that
proclamation on the street corners; button
hole talks. etc, will suffice; but there is
only one sensible way to do the thing, and
that is to announce the fact in the papers,
The paper carries the announcement into
every home Of the city every day-gives
the voter fresh reminder every twenty
four hours; and as il always employs the
same language, the sovereign gets it by
heart.
The Rev. Joseph Cook said in late
lecture, II have little hope that the
ear of the United States can be caught by
the discussion of the diseases that spring up
in the squalid quarters of great towns. y
You are correct, Joseph. The public ear
cannot be caught 1t can't be caught in
Cairo, or else the warning voice of THE
BULLETIN would not be UNDECIDED. THE
BULLETIN desires Cairo to get up and clean
herself--to get up and make an effort to
keep the southern epidcmcs away from her
levecs. Cairo is the healthiest place in the
world, but Cairo people evidently desire to
destroy her reputation by inviting diseases
to the city.
At short intervals during the Who'll, OF
Sunday night, the popping of pistols was
heard in the Fourth ward, occasionally fol-
lowed by the yelping of scared or wounded
dogs We expected, Monday morning, to
find the dead carcasses of the canine species
lying around as plentifully as old boots or
bottomess dish pans, but not single dead
or wounded dog could be found anywhere.
Somewhat interested to know how the
Sheriff's dogs had Jared during the fusil-
lade, we called around to see. Much to
our disappointment, when that gentleman
gave the familiar whistle, every one of
his fourteen dogs, and all Of them in the en-
joyment Of the best OF health, promptly
responded. And thus, with our last hope
demolished, We terminated our inquiry.
The Ghost Illusion company closed
its engagement in Cairo Saturday night.
In his "yalcdctory' remarks Prof. Edwards
said that he hated to leave our little city;
he had been most courteously treated; had
made many acquaintences which he priced,
and had exhibited his illusions to no less
than five thousand persons. As the COM
pany averaged five or six exhibitions q day,
and remained here something over week,
the statement that he had had Ave thou
sand patrons may not be an exaggeratlon
If half the number were children, his gross
receipts reached one thousand dollars. OF
this sum he expended probably one hun.
dred dollars. For the remaining nine hun
dred dollars he left with US the recollection
ola clever delusion-this, and nothing
more.
