MIR. HARRELL'S GOODBYE.

With this issue we terminate our cOnnec-
ton with THE CAIRO BULLETIN, and our
labors in the field of Southern Illinois
journalism.
We came to Cairo when boy, yet in
our teens. We leave the place, after the
lapse of thirty-two years, gray-haired
man. We do not claim, as our partial
friend of the Peoria Daily Democrat was
pleased to insist, that we are as widely
known as Cairo; but we do claim that dur
ing the third of century We have resided
here, we have labored zealousy and indus
triously for the material advancement Of
the city and contiguous country, and for
the social and educational ell-being Of the
people. We have, with what little ability
we possessed, advocated all commendable
public projects and undertakings, withhold
ing our support from none that promised to
promote desirable public aims. In doing
this we may not have written better or
more wisely than our contemporaries; but
that we have written more and longer than
any Of them, and with as honest a purpose
10 serve the people, will not be denied by
any one.
We were Of Cairo when less than score
of dilapidated houses constituted the CITY,
and when l42 breathing souls" comprised
ats total population. Southern Illinois was,
then, comparative wilderness, and the
towns and villages that now skirt the Hi
nois Central, were not even dreamed of as
probable creations of the future, Four
years after our arrival in Cairo, the munif.
cent land grant that subsequently secured
the building of the Illinois Central railroad,
was made by congress to the State OF Hi.

the woods of Kentucky give back the echo

to be the state Of mind of many Demo

there is no doubt of Tilden's candidacy,

he was supposed to do, In short for his

In the last few days considerable atten-
ton has been given to a scheme for the Sc
lection of q commission Of well known
public men to act wholly apart from the
interior department officials, who shall in
vestigate the whole subject Of our Indian
system and report to congress plan for a
new form OF Indian government. The un-
satisfactory working Of the present system
and the evidences of the change suggested
by Secretary Schurz, with natural if not
reasonable objection of turning the Indians
over to the War department, are exciting
interest in the new proposal. Ii is believed
that men Of eminence, who would have the
confidence of both races, would gladly &C
cept the service, that they could arrive at
much more satisfactory resu IS than con-
gress or the secretary Of the interior would,
and that both whites and Indians would be
more likely to abide by the doings Of such
commission than by the treaties hereto
fore made, or that are likely TO be made
hereafter,

4 Remarkable Coincidence,

In 1858 four gentlemen entered their
sons at boarding school at Cokesbury,
S G. They had been for years intimate
friends and clergymen in the Methodist
church. These boys remained at this
school room mates and class mates for
two years; and entered Wofford college,
standing relatively first, second, third
and fourth in q large class. They re-
mained at this institution four years,
were room mates all the time, gradual
ing relatively first, second, third and
fourth. They entered law office at
Spartanburg, and studied law under the
same chancellor. The war Eroke out,
and at the Cali iOT troops they ali enter
ed Jenkins's lille regiment from South
Carolina, and were mess-mates in the
same company. Being near the same
height they stood together as comrades
in battle in this regiment, At the see
ond battle OF Man ssas, August, 1861 .
shell from the enemy's battery fell in
the ranks kill2i these four boys, and
none other in the company. They are
buried on the battle field and sleep to-
aether in the same grave. Their names
were: Capers, McGwaln, Smith and
Duncan, ana are the sons of Bishop Ca
pers, Hev. Drs. McSwain and Smith of
Souin Carolina, and Rev. Mr.. Duncan
of Randolph Macon College The grave
is marked by a granite cross and enclos
Ell with an iron railing.

hOW MOUNT VERNON GOT ITS NAME.
while every American mas heard of
mount Vernon, probably not one in a
nu ndred knows whence it derived the
name. The unfortunate Duke of Mon
mouth had a private secretary named
vernon, prudent, sensible man of
business, who, after the Dukes death,
found favor in influential quarters, and
under William III. became secretary of
state. He left a son, Edward, born 1854,
VINO greatly against his fathers wishes,
entered the navy, and serving with ear
ly distinction, rose to the rank of admi-
raj. In l122 he was returned to the
House of Commons and having in JULY.
1893, declared there that Porto Bello
might be reduced with six sail of the
line, and that he would stake his life
and reputation on the success of the ex-
pedItion, he was sent off with squadron
to do it, succeeded, and gave his men
$4,000, which had just arrived to pay
the Spanish troops. On returning home
be received the thanks of both houses
and the freedom of the city of London.
From that day, however, his star de-
cllned. An expedition to Carthagena,
made two years later, signally failed

accompanied the fleet, and has told the
story Of it in 'Roderick Random"
where he compares Vernon and General
Wentworth, who commanded the auxi-
llary land force, to Cesar and Pompey.
1.-The one," he says would not brook q
superior, while the other was impatient
of an equal; so that between the pride
of one and the insolence of another the
miscarried.u 1t was in the
land force at Carthagena that Lawrence
Washington, Georges elder brother by
fourteen years, had served, and APP
parently he esteemed Vernon, as he gave
his name to his home on the Potomac,
and procured misdshipman's appoint
ment for George, but his mothers inter-
position ultimately prevented the boys
availing himself of il, albeit she had at
first consented. Vernon's popularity
was so great that his unlucky expedi-
ton does not seem to have affected it,
and he was actually elected to Parlia-
ment for three places at once on his re-
turn. Probably, his known hostility to
the government had much to do with
this. In 1745 he was detailed to watch
the North Sea, in view of a movement
OF the pretender's adherents. The next
year serious squabble arose between
him and the government, resulting in
his producing two pamphlets, which so
eXasperated the authorities that by the
kings express command he was struck
oil the list of admirals. He died in 1757
at his seat in Suffolk, and notwiJhstand-
ing his disgrace, q handsome monument
to him was erected in Westminster Alb
bey. 1t was Vernon who brought into
use the custom of mixing water with
the ration of rum, which got the name
grog from his habit Of wearing grog-
ram waistcoat, and hence his nickname
of "Old Grog,' Altogether, the man,
who invented grog, is buried in West
minister Abbey, commemorated by
Smollett, and gave name to Washing
toms home, must be regarded as no or
binary person.

For the SPECTATOR.
Letter from Alton.

ALTON, VA, April s, 1880
Editor Spectator We sometimes
think that country people like to read
most about busy affairs of the city and
nation, while the city man likes to read
essays on rural subjects. Your thorough
countryman delights to read political
speeches and prophecies, and he will go
through the details and cross -examiDa-
tiODs of q famous murder trial with all
the assiduity of a keen lawyer. On the
other hand city people, and even young
ladies of the Blanche Amory type, get
from the libraries the chaste volumes Of
Ike Marvel's country writing. Rural
poets like Wordsworth and Buns, the
delight of our library hunters, while the
red tablecloth of the country parlor is
likely to have its exquisite sinoothness
broken by volume of Byron, Or story
of the court of Napoleon. The luxury
in its season, ss J. Carlton would say,
to city man, especially if he be a bust
ling newspaper man or a man all day
engaged over the busy figures Of com
merciai Eledger, the idea of q garden
comes in pretty, wholesome shapes, Civ
ing q little green to his life, and to bis
heart q little balance of repose Some
Of us have country homes, which in
winter we usually see in short slatches,
so that the puilets Of Novembe are hard
~ recognized by us when we see them
as niatronly, sedate hens of April. But
the lengthening days of the year bring
visions of poached eggs on toast and bits
OF crisp lettuce, which never are so good
as they are in their spring season. We
never appreciate green peas or crimson
strawberries in January, and our credi-
tors have encouraged our dislike. Or
anges and bananas are best when they
are picked fresh from the trees, and
green peas are best when you get them
Wrlnkled from your garden and eat them
with a spoon. That food is most delic-
ious which is to be found around you.
The Tuckaho pining for fish, oysters
and johnnycake, would not appreciate
sour krout, apple-butter and light-bread
diet, anG a 'cOlOred man. would hardly
thrive on the strung buffalo beef of Man
itoba.
To some men the first idea of spring
gardening comes with hints of lettuce
in hot bed. Now, we submit that this
idea contains very little poetry and
there is poetry, if you wish it, even in
breakfast by candle light. Hot beds
are useful, and utilitariaGism is a grand
thing, as we read long ago in the operose
volumes of John Stuart Mill. Once in
awhile man wishes to put aside figures
for poetry-not all the time, as Mr..
Beechec did when be chose pictures in
stead OF dates-but still wholesomely
and in q while. 4 man may have a
good idea of figures and yet forget to pay
his tailor's bill. He may have liking
for a garden and yet be found pegging
ledger's pages or swearing at proof
readers. TO us the first idea of spring
gardening comes in the shape Of gree:,
peas. II.
