against him could not injure him. We de.
sire to say in return that we have no desire
to injure the young man and will not pub.
fish his record at the present time unless
forced to do so by himself, when we will
do so in our usual good humor, and with
marked exactness. OF course, we are not
ignorant OF the fact that such publication
would ipjure him but little, since it is a
difficult task indeed to spoil rotten apple.
--Messrs Caine, Foley, Wichert, Mason
and P. j. Thistlewood, are the gentlemen
who compose the committee, which was ap-
pointed by the Hibernian fire company to
call upon our citizens for financial assist
ance. Whatever money this committee
may collect will be faithfully expended for
fire works and the necessary Arrangements
to make the celebration all that could be
desired and one of which we shall have
reason to feel proud, The company is de-
serving the celebration it proposes to give
will be good one and will attract many
people here, and therefore the subscriptions
of our merchants should be liberal.
Reckless riding on horseback is again
becoming one of the nuisances of the city
and one that should have the attention of
those in authority. On Sunday evening
last two young men on horseback, ran their
horses at break-neck speed down Walnut
street, frightening women and coming
within hairs breadth Of injuring a little
child which was in the act of crossing
the street. Some of our bows and young
men have got into the habit OF trying the
speed of their horses whenever they believe
themselves out of the reach of an officer
and, we doubt not that serious results will
follow this practice unless stop is put to it
at once.
The ground was yesterday broken for an
addition to be built to Messrs. Green, Wood,
& Benefits MILL which will be erected be-
tween the present mill and the corner of
Eighteenth street. The addition will be
seventy feet deep with alevee front Of forty
six feet. The building will be two stories
high and located near the track. 80 that
freight can be transferred from cars with
out the use of drays. 1t will be used for |
warehouse, and for handling commission
and other goods in carload lots. II will |
add materially to the appearance of
that portion of the levee and will soon
prove an indispensable convenience to the
proprietors whose business is rapidly in
creasing.
The exodus to more northern climes
has already began, but We believe larger
of the wealthy classes will re.
main during the summer than ever before.
One would naturally expect the reverse, be-
cause the majority of the people are better
able to travel than they have been for many
years past. But the residents of Cairo
have at last found out that the summer
may be spent here both pleasantly and
proftably The truth is, the choice of
imusementsi is steadily widening. and moth
ng more has ever been necessary to make
summer life in Cairo pleasant. With q
view Of remaining, may of our people have
purchased fine turnout and will, with them,
while away the pleasant evening hours.
A short time ago the city council re-
fused to confirm the corporation counsel
and should It persist in the same course all
the legal business of the city, including the
important cases now pending, would be
thrown into the hands of our city attorney.
We did not. at the time, seriously question
the wisdom Of this step, but nevertheless,
had our misgivings, and doubted very
much that, under existing circumstances, it
would prove to the citys interest. The Of
