DIED

AT 10; 80 o'clock a. m, yesterday, at his
residence, George Wellington Whitlock
aged siXiy.three years. Funeral services
will be held at the residence on Tenth
street, between Walnut and Cedar streets,
this forenoon, by Rev. B. Y. George and the
remains will be taken to Jonesboro by ILL
nois Central train at If o'clock.
The cause of Mr. Whitlock's death was
complication of ailments, chief among
which was an affection of tho lungs. A
severe fall down cellar stairs, which he re-
celved some time ago, has caused him much
suffering, but his last hours were very
peaceful. He was an old citizen of Cairo
and has been an honorable one in all his
varied relations with those who had any
dealings with him. He lived to ripe age,
aud had it not been for the accident refer
red to, he would probably have been with
us many years longer. He leaves wife
and two children who, in their sorrow,
have the sympathy of their many friends
and acquaintaintances.

A Fearless Snake-0atcher.

Sig. DAlbertis, recent explorer in
New Guinea, is remarkably bold
seeker after snakes. In an account of
his travels he says that at Yule Island
the natives had found large snake
under tree, and all ran away from it,
crying out AT last | went to the ma
tives," he continues, land tried to as
certain the cause of their conduct, and
they made me understand why they had
fled. then returned to see the snake
myself, which in fact did, although
two-thirds were hidden in hole in the
earth. His size was such that he could
not be poisonous, and at once grasped
him by the tail. While dragging him
out of his lair with my two hands | was
prepared to hatten his neck close to his
head with one foot the moment he
emerged, so that he should not have
the power of turning or moving. My
plan succeeded perfectly, and while the
snakes head was imprisoned under my
foot grasped his body with my hands,
and, as though had vanished terrible
monster turned toward the natives
with an air of triumph. They, struck
with terror, had looked on the scene from
safe distance. must confess that the
snake offered little resistance, although
it writhed and twisted itself around my
arm, squeezing it so tightly as to stop
the circulation, and made my hand
black. | remained, however, in posses
sion of his neck, and soon secured it
firmly to long thick stick l had
brought with me, then gave the rep
tile to my men to carry home" This
serpent was thirteen feet long. 1t was
kept alive and became quite tame, and
when the natives saw D'Albertis kiss its
head and let it coil around his legs they
howled with amazement and admira-
ton. Six weeks after the capture he
writes: "My snake continues to do well;
it has twice cast its skin, is well behaved
and tame, and does not attempt to es-
cape, even when put it in the sun out
side the house; and when | 60 to bring
it in it comes to me of its own accord.
1t never attempts to bite, even when |
caress or tease it. While am working
often hold it on my knees, where It
remains for hours; sometimes it raises
its head, and ticks my face with its
forked tongue, 1t is true friend and
companion to me. When the natives
bother me it is useful in putting them
to flight, for they are much afraid of it;
it is quite sufficient for me to let my
snake loose to make them fly at full
speed" He kept this serpent for near
ly six months, and latterly another of
the same species with it, till at last
both escaped, and he mourned their
loss as dear friends, adding, "for
loved them and they loved me, and we
had passed long time together"

1t is surprise to many that so little
interest is manifested by our citizens in the
rapidly approaching city election. There
certainly is some ground for surprise.
There has, perhaps, not been so little ex-
cltement, ten days before an election, at
any time in the city of Cairo, as there is
now There have been no meetings Of any
consequences; there have been no speeches
mat aroused any feeling; there has
been but little electoneering, and
that has been carried on in a whisper, as it
were. The candidates, with the exception
OF those for the Office Of city clerk, have
been slow to come forth; for the Offices of
treasurer and attorney each, only one candi-
date has so far announced himself and, so
far only one candidate for alderman as out
The voters have paid but little attention to
the state Of the campaign in fact so little
do they seem to have interested
themselves in it, that we doubt
if one voter could be found
who knows all the candidates, few as they
are, for the several offices. It is now only
eleven days before the day set for the mu-
nicipal battle, and yet there has been no
formation Of the lines, no preparation for
the tray, not even display Of anxiety on
the part OF those who are TO take part in
it. This is not as it should be; the city
election now is just as important as il was
two years ago the principles TO be fought
for are the same as those two years ago,
there is as much at stake in the coming
contest as there was in the one that is past
why should it not therefore awaken as
much interest as the other did, Excessive
excitement is not desirable in an election,
for that often defeats the ends sought by
those who have the best interest Of city
at heart; but the other extrcme--a dead
calm-bas also its evil effects, for it shows
a carelessness-a total lack Of interest--on
the part Of the voters as to the present and
future state of the affairs of the city, which
bodies no good, There should be held a
number of public meetings at which the
merits OF the several candidates should be
discussed and the city's interests consider
ed in fair, dispassionate manner. We
shall wait patiently for the first gun of the
campaign.

every foreign born man, in America, to pur-
sue their own vocation or trade free from
being tramped upon by British law and
avarice, so called by our statutes. We
know our productions would be enormous
If the law would allow all producers to
work.
The ingenuity then displayed in America
would be the admiration of the world, for
we have the resources, our people have the
capacity and why should we stay under
such bands of poverty and misrule, when
we have such great chances for advance
ment before us. We are hedged in by the
wicked schemes Of the law, and we must
break the bands that bind us, like the
great immortal Washington, when he
fought the tyrant George III for 7 long
years. and when it took 20 thousand fight
ing Frenchmen and the noble Lafayette to
finish the battle for American liberty.
We must all remember that good laws
make good government, and good gov
eminent makes good people, who always
flourish and feel well all over, when they
live in their natural clover.
