ment closed at 80 p. m, and the audience
dispersed well pleased with the enjoyable
evening they had spent. Miss Dixon goe:
to Rockford, Ill.,, in few days, but will re
turn shortly and make tour Of the state.
We had almost forgotten it, and haster
to inform our readers in order that they
may not forget it, that the Ladies Aid So
ciety of the Methodist church will spread
an excellent supper for the benefit of the
church in Temperance hall this evening
The ladies have prepared supper which
will surely tickle the tongue Of every
Cairoite-male and female-old and young
and are particularly anxious to "feed the
hungry" In order, we believe, that they
may be enabled to ''clothe the poor" This
is commendable, and since the supper will
consist of such excellent and
toothsome articles as the most
delicious oysters, pickles and slaw; the
lightest Of bread; the sweetest of golden
butter, and the famous coffee-served in
abundance IN the most attractive style, by
the ladies themselves, we predict that the
hall will be crowded this evening. But
this is not ALL Delicacies of various kinds
will be served, among which may be men
toned, Ice cream cake, etc.--making in all
feast for the gods Don't fail to 90 and
partake.
"A general desire for change Of ad.
ministration cannot be created by keeping
the spirit of partisan rivalry conspicuously
in the foreground. There is much in the
plea taat change should be made at this
time. There is nothingln the additional
plea that it should be made in order that
Democrats should take the seats vacated by
Republicans at the money tables in the
temple. Republican office holders should
20 out, not that Democrats may go in, but
that public opinion may assert itself as
being superior TO caucus rule and bureau
cratic methods. Let any intelligent repub-
lican think, for moment Of the possibili-
ties OF the coming election, and he will con-
cluie that the success of Garfield and Ar.
thur could not be classed among them,
were it not for the powerful official ma
chinery under the control of the present
republican administration. The influence
Of this machine can hardly be appreciated,
and the despotic power it wields over the
minds and hearts and conselences of men
can hardly be understood by those who
have never come IN contact with it. 1t
overshadows the land IN its colossal proper
tons and ramifying influences. It's net
work Of wires, reaching everywhere, aud
controlled by one master hand. Before it
bow down the mInions Of the official SER
vice, whose name is legion, and whose
works are manifold.
Cairo undoubtedly has q great future
before it which will only be fastened by
the fact that Jay Goulds promise to put
bargc-line into the grain trade between ST.
Louis and New Orleans is being carried
out, He is having 50 many barges built as
will be necessary to transport 100000
bushels Of grain per day, and that there
may be no baulk or hindrance at New Or
leans he is there building three large ele-
vatoFs. 4 friend Of Mr. Gould explains
that his object is mainly to extend the
grain-carrying facilities Of the Mississippi,
not to divert the trade from the Atlantic
seab0ard. There are times when the grain
awaiting transportation at st. Louis for the
southwest is stored there in such quantities,
owing to the lack OF carrying facilities, that
much loss Is sustained by the owners in
consequence Of the expense for storage.
Shippers often have to wait a long time for
barges and the design OF the projectors of

time they may be wanted Mr.. Gould, he
said, had no desire 10 monopo!ize the grain
trade, or to work in the interest Of any one
person, but merely to furnish to all alike
the means Of transportation. During the
winter months, when the railroads are
blocked with snow, the river will furnish
an outlet to the ocean by the way Of New
Orleans. The barges will be made up in
town during the whole year, and since the

Cairo the headquarters Of his grain trade.
