need to be scraped Through constant
use they have become covered with dirt,
carried upon them from the unimproved
streets by wagon wheels and households,
until it has reached the depth Of several
inches in some places. The mild winter
with which we are threatened will keep
these paved streets, rs all the rest of the
streets, constantly muddy and sloppy I'M
less this thick layer of dirt is removed. To
scrape all the paved streets twice during
the winter months would keep them com.
paratively dry, if their drainage isgood,
and it seems to be SO. The earth thus &C.
cumulated could be used in repairing the
unpaved streets. This would not cost
great deal and add much to the comfort of
teams and drivers, and to the appearance Of
the city,.

The Cairo oil company will not be
quite ready to begin operations on the first
of the coming month The reason is that
the company has been compelled to wait
for some of the machinery which it is hav-
ing built new. The holidays will also in
terfere with the progress of the work, as
the workmen and mechanics will desire to
observe them. Yet the company has al
ready received and stored away many tons
of cotton seed and is receiving fresh install
ments every week, SO that when the time
comes to begin, there may be no delay on
account of lack of material to work upon
Mr.. Davis, the company's manager here,
states that cotton seed is unusually scarce
this year and that many of the OF! mills of
the south are short, and are threatened with
entire lack of material to work upon. He
has no doubt but that his company will be
able to dispose of all the oil and meal it
can manufacture, though its large mills
be in operation day and night to the ex-
tent of their capacity.

The increase of the revenue derived by
the government from beer marks the vast
consumption of that. popular beverage in
the United States. In the year 1868 the
revenue derived from the tax on beer
amouted to 81 100000 only, while in the
year 1881 it will reach fourteen millions
dollars, an amount in excess of what was
required to pay the entire expenses of the
government fifty years ago. For the four
years of the admiration of John Quincy
Adams the total expenditures of the govern
ment aggregated something over $52, O00,-
900, and were considered enormously tex
travagant." What would the men of that
day have thought had they been told that
the time would come when an internal tax
on beer would exceed the then 'extra-
VACANT" annual expenditures of the govern
ment2

Mr.. Joseph E. Lemon, of Bond coun-

increase and improve the accommodations
and beautify the place. He proposes

valids. Among the new Improvements will
be a fence that will enclose park large
enough to take in both the magnesia and
iron springs, and number of foot bridges
across chasms that will admit of more ex.
tensive strolls among the rocks and hills
These changes will have tendency to
make Dixon more popular than ever as a
summer resort.

Some one started the rumor late last
night that Mr.. Thomas w. Halliday had
been accidentally killed at the Egyptian
mills. 1t was cruel joke. The news
travelled like wild-fre, everybody flew to
the telephone and the poor fellow at the
central office was deluged with requests for
connections from all parts of the city with
all parts of the city. 1t was about an hour
after the rumor began that its contradic-
ton from Mr.. Halliday himself quoted it
down somewhat. But it is probable that a
number of persons in the city even now
who do not know any better, therefore, this
contradiction.

The seizure of the papers, books, and
other property of the Pullman company by
the Montreal authorities is based on the
charge that the cars of that corporation
used in Canada have been repaired in Chi
cago, Detroit and other points of the Uni
ted States; that the material used was sub
ject to duty under the Dominion laws
also that the cars have been furnished in
United States with articles dutiable in Can
ada; and, generally speaking, that the Do

The sunny side of the street was the
most popular side yesterday. The indica-
tions of a change in the temperature here,
given in Sergeant W. II. Rays report the
day before, came true. Crowds of men
and boys, including the boot blacks, stood
in rows, with their backs against the sun
warmed sides of houses, their hands in
their pockets, watching the shadows grad
ually turn toward the east.

Street Superintendent German had
teams and men at work yesterday, repair
ing Sixth street, between Ohio levee and
Commercial avenue. The street was very
much in need of repairs; ithad been allowed
to remain unattended to too long; but the
reason was that there was no gravel on
hand with which to repair it. And there is
no gravel now; the holes and ruts are being
filled with broken rock from the 'jail
quarry. which will probably serve the
purpose better than gravel would.

"A case of human suffering and human
heartlessness was brought to public notice
yesterday evening. 1t was white woman,
about thirty years of age, lily clad and
emaciated, lying upon the sidewalk near
the corner of Twenty-frst street and Wash
ington avenue, crying and shouting by
turns, telling men as they passed her by
that she was injured and needed medical
attention. But strong men, reputed to be
of sympathetic nature, came and went
without needing the poor creatures pitious
appeals; nor yet her loud shrieks, which
must have grated harshly upon tho ears of
sensitive persons for squares around. The
woman lay upon the sidewalk for hours
until darkness began to fall-and t's1, at
least, came partial relief. Constable Guy
Morse and NJ, Chs,hbIy found the woman
'and conveyed her to the county Jail and
laid her upon mattress, and

The year now drawing to its end has
been very severe one upon the gardeners
in and just outside of this city. They
had spent as much labor as usual upon
their large well-kept fields and everything
came up nicely, and they worked diligently
to keep down the weeds, only to see in the
end that all the efforts had been in vain
that the green stakes and vines peeped over
the ground, waved in the breezef
little while, and then withered
in the scorching sun without full.

though sorely disappointed at the discour.
aging results of their labor, took heart and
placed the seed for late crop of potatoes
corn, peas, beans, etc, then worked, perhaps
with less good will, but the same energy as
before, hoping to regain in the second et-
fort at least portion of what they had lost
before; but they were again doomed to dis
appointment. The same cause winch frus-
trated their work before was active sec
ond time and again they saw their fields
first thinly clothed in green and then grad
ually change to dingy brown, indicative
of death. One gardener who had planted
several hundred bushels of late potatoes will
not realize crop equal to what he put into
the ground. Corn is the same way, and as
for late vegetables, there are none, and the
city markets are almost entirely bare. II
seems almost as though we were on the
road to universal disorder; but will charge
this state of affairs to the comets and to
the laundering weather prophets, of which
this sphere has had more than its share
within the last year.

"A Cincinnati physician asserts that the
germs of smallpox are frequently con-
veyed in the refuse animal matter used in
the manufacture of bogus butter. The
Chicago Herald sees very little reason to
doubt this statement and says that germs
thus taken into the system through the d.
gestive apparatus would develop smallpox
in person who had never been outwardly
exposed to the disease. This is tough
theory, but if it will contribute to the good
work of driving bogus butter out of the
market we bopeit may find credence on
every hand. Nasty butterine and other
stutfs called butter are worse affliction
than smallpox or the mud of Alexander
county roads.

He afterward returned to Chicago and

He was exposed by the Times two or

He threatened suit, and visited the

grew tiresonae, and one day he was

The Mustang Of kustralIa.

The mustang OF the American cont
nent has its counterpart in the 'fbrlm-
bic" of Australia, large herds OF which
exist in the interior parts of Queensland
and New South Wales. These animals
are so numerous that they have often
been destroyed and boiled down for the
sake of their tallow and hides and in
some of the newly-settled districts they
swarm in such numbers that the squat
ters have to protect themselves and the
pasturage against thir inroads. Brumbie-
stalking is q recognized pastime, the
destruction of the wild horses being as
necessary as the destruction of kangaroos
or rabbits The sport OF capturing and
tanning these animals, however, has
attracted a good many adventurous
spirits, who adopt tactics somewhat SINH
lar to those adopted by the inhabitants
of Mexico and South America. The
hardness and size and strength of these
brumbies are remarkable, and when
trained they are of considerable value.
Their progeny, when crossed with Euro
pean horses, possess excellent qualities.
1t is recorded that in one year no less
than seven thousand wild horses have
been shot on a single station in New
South Wales.
