BARLEY Campbell, with his theatrical
troupe, was greeted with large audence
at the Atheneum last evening. Besides the
crowd Of Cairo people, there were in atten-
dance large number of Mound Cityites,
who came down on the steam
yacht "Waife.n "Matrimony" was the
play presented and it proved to be fully up
to the highest expectations OF the public.
Not only is the piece itself an excellent
one, but the manner of rendering 1.-THE
perfection and power with which each
part was gven-made it doubly interest
ing. The troupe is undoubtedly composed
of gentlemen and ladies of talent, who not
only spend much time in acquiring the
characters which they are to impersonate,
but who understand human nature
thoroughly. The company, as at present
constituted, must succeed wherever it goes
and tries to do so.

North of us, at st. Louis and other
points, the river is falling slowly. The
report at the United States signal office
here yesterday showed a fall Of six inches
at 81. Louis from the day previous. II
will be but short time now before the
principal rise will be felt at this point, but
there is not the least cause for ap-
prehenslon. The water above being spread
over such a vast territory, the rise
here will not be near what it would be
were the entire mass Of water to come
down in one compact body. But even were
this OF the case-even if the lcvecs above |
US had held prisoner the roaring waters
within their Legitimate channel-there
would YET be no reason for alarm here, for
bur levees, in worse condition than they
are in now, have stood the severest tests.

Ought not Cairo to make an effort to
get some Of the many railroads that
ire now in conrse Of construction TO this |
,ity TO locate their machine shops herei
The time to make the effort is now, while |
he roads are in course of construction, and |
before they have agreed to locate their shops |
elsewhere in compliance with the urgent |
requests Of other communities. One good |
machine shop would increase our popula-
ion by several hundred by bringing skill
I'd mechanics with theira families here; it |
would necessitate the erection of twenty, |
i've or fifty more houses, thus giving en-.
ployment to our carpenters and business to
our lumber and hardware men, and it |
would bring thousands Of dollars yearly to
the city, which would be distributed by |
these mechanics among our merchants
grocers, clothiers, dry goods men, etc.
These results are certainly worth striving
Tor.
