not follow that there is an absence Of dan.
ger this, Where there are iirc-escapes,
they should be carefully kept ready for
use, and where there are none on the premi-
SEES that offer no safe exit in case of fire,
they should be provided We want law
requiring more attention to this matter,
especially where many persons lodge or
work on one premises. A single pair OF
stairs which may be the first thing burned
down, is unreliable, and other means of
escape should be provided.
On the evening of day before ycstcr.
day eight pair Of shoes and two pair of
slippers, valued at twenty eight dollars,
were stolen out Of show case which was
standing in front of the dry goods
store Of Mcssrs. Burger & Bro
Yesterday afternoon white man
entered a downtown barber shop, and dis.
playing two shoes-cach made for the
right foot offered to sell them for ten
cents. Officer Tyler, who happened to be
present, questioned the fellow as TO where
he had obtained the shoes and being unable
to give satisfactory reply, arrested him
and brought him into Judge Oimsted's
court for hearing. He stated to the court
that his name was James Hogan, and that
the shoes had been put into his hands by a
man, who had offered him half of whatever
he could obtain for them. Mr. Burger re-
cognizcd the shoes as his propertp, and
Hogan was committed to the county jail in
default OF one hundred and fifty dollars
bail.
AT the last meeting OF the city council
the mayor stated that he had received and
accepted the resignation Of Officer Lally
and asked that body wha. else should be
done with it The matter was debated,
and tpally on motion, the council voted to
receive the resignation. This
was all wrong and established
u very bad precedent 1t is right
and proper that the council should confirm
the nominations Of the mayor, but 1t is the
mayors exclusive privilege to accept the
OF any officer The presiden; Of
the United States appoints the members OF
his cabinet and the senate confirms them,
and should any member thereof resign the
president accepts or rejects the same as he
sees fit, without the advice or consent of
the senate or house Our
mayors in the past have been governed
by the same rule, and there has oeun no mis-
understanding between him and the coun.
Gil on account Of it, and hence the action
OF the council at its last meeting in voting
on the resignation was without excuse and
established precedent which may at some
future time cause considerable trouble
This community will soon be seeking
the most interesting and profitable manner
to spend the long winter evenings, and we
would suggest series Of lectures as the
best means to entertain and please our citi.
zens Cairo has an abundance of home
talent that could be utilized in this way
with the most satisfactory results The
pastors of the several churches would we

these entertainments should be TO gain

'eatediy told by different persons, that they
we're glad that the excitement was over.

sentiment, but much as We may deplore the
wills resulting from the excitements grow
