city, after having banished all saloons
keepers from their midst, have now con
cluded to revoke their former decision be-
cause, while there were no licened saloon
keepers, the drug stores sold nearly as much
whiskey, etc, as was sold before that time
and the city was deriving no revenue there
from, as was the case when saloons were
allowed to exist.
About this time" as the almanacs
used to say, "look out for dol4iul forecast
ings of a scarcity Of ice during the ensuing
summer. The prophecy has become so
familiar that it is quite Il matter OF course
that we are now told, or at least the dozenth
time, Of an impending ice famine. Judg
ing the future by the past, however, after
the fashion of distinguished Revolution

1t may be of interest to the converts of
Susan B. Anthony in this city, to learn that
the Boston women pollcd nine hundred
votes for school directors at the recent cleo.
ton, and although beaten they are not at all
discouraged. They were treated with the
utmost courtesy at the polls, and they urge
their sex to pay the poll tax and register so
as to be able to poll bigger vote next year.
The ladies have issued an address, in which
they say "that tue political parties Of the
city are willing to nominate women as
members of the school board; that the de-
termination of the women to vote for good
candidates only had its effect upon the NOM
nations Of both parties, and it is now pos
sible to anticipate that the days OF mere
Office seeking are near an end, so far as the
school board is concerned
We see from the Paducah News that
there is no little uneasiness felt among the
residents of Paducah as to the result Of the
present unusual weather upon the health of
| the people next summer. A few OF the
| people of Cairo feel ditto and while many
are of the opinion that nothing but the
best OF sanitary preparations can ward off
! great sickness as the result Of the warm
winter, some of the oldest inhabitants poiut
to certain years back when, as they assert,
lettuce was ready for the table in February,
while in March and May all kinds Of early
vegetables were upon the tables, and the
unusual good health was the subject of
| everyday comment. 1t would seem that
there is, therefore, no great cause of uneasi-
ness, though 1t would, no doubt, be safer to
| work to prevent the dreaded sickness.
Should stranger be informed that at
| the next term of our circuit court twenty,
seven prisoners would have hearing, he
would naturally suppose that this city
was really as corrupt and immoral as it Is
generally represented Now let us see
| from whence come these prisoners. Among
the twenty seven only two are citizens of
Cairo or this county and these two are
out on bail. They are Rev. Jacob Bradley,
charged with perjury, and Tom Charleston,
charged with stealing sack of coffee
from Messrs. Stratton & Bird. Both OF
these are negroes and the remaining
twenty-five, both white and black, are
strangers and thieves on general principle,
who jump from one town to another
and out of one Jail into another, They are
men for whose actions Cairo is not respon.

it bears abroad.
Eastern exchanges state that the vol
umc OF business at the great seuboard cities
since the opening OF the year has been
light occasionel chiefly by the high values
current for home staples generally, which
has checked the export trade. This is par
tcularly the case with wheat, cotton, and
provisions. Complaints Of inactivity il

ports on the Atlantic and are made The more
loud 10y the abundant supply of tonnage
waiting for business to revive. With the
large visible supply of wheat at Western
centres and on the scaboard the European
markets (aIso showing fair stocks) are de
