The presidents condition yesterday
morning as it appeared from the dispatch
sent from Long Branch was not quite so ia
vorable as had been as it indicated rise in
both the temperature and respiration. But
while this is true there 10 no reason for be-
lieving the letters of that unprincipled old
alarmist, Pulitzer, of the Post Dispatch,
who is rusticating at Long Branch. Yes
terday mornings dispatch to this city was
as follows. AT the examination of the
president at 8 a. m. to-day, the temperature
was 90 4.10, pulse 100, respiration 20. He
passed comfortable night, sleeping most
of the time, and on the whole his condi-
ton this morning is encouraging and gives
promise Of q good day"
An improvement that is much needed
in order to give the travelling public good
impression of the city is new sidewalk on
Ohio evee, between Fourth and Eighth
streets. This stretch of walk is more used
by strangers and citizens, going to and
coming from the different trains and hotels
than any other stretch of walk in the city.
In its present condition it is not only
very unsightly, but Is in a condition
that makes walking very uncomfortable. A
short stretch OF stone tagging here and
| there that is raised several inches above the
level of the plank walk on either side pre-
vents distractions which few pedestrians
are compelled to notice to their sorrow. A
good substantial walk, of brick or Tagging
the entire distance would be most desira-
BILE improvement of which the citizens
would be proud.
A committee consisting OF Messrs. j.
L. English, Rudy Smell and VIM. McEwen
has been appointed by the military COM
| pany with instructions to call upon the
citizens of Cairo and solicit contributions
from them to assist in paying for the new
uniforms that the company has selected.
The company has now been thoroughly or
ganized, is composed of some of Cairo's
best citizens who are determined to make it
a complete success and make it worthy of
the admiration and the pride of Cairoites
generally. The organization of
the company places Cairo on an
equal footing with other and larger cities in
the state and will enable her to send fit
representatives to the periodical reunions
and important military gatherings in the
state. The company will also be an admir-
able attraction to the various holiday occa-
sions in the city. The gentlemen who have
organized themselves into this company
are worthy of liberal support from the peo-
pie.
The object OF charity which the Mayor
judciously helped few weeks since was
only one of perhaps fifty Others that had
been similarly helped by the authorities Of
the city and was 80 far as known the only
one of the probable fifty in which the coun-
Gil refused to reimburse the mayor. This
action of the council was denounced by The
BULLETIN and the citizens at the time and
will very likely net be repeated by the
present council. This single little mean
action on the part of the council, which that
body has had reason to regret, has not had
the effect of drawing resolution from the
mayor that he will not lend assistance to
poor suffering wretches in the future. He
would have sent Woodgate to the hospital
the moment he saw the poor cripple; had
he not been satisfied that the railroad COM
pany which mutilated him, was primarily
responsible, and had he not
firmly believed that the
agentsof the company here would prompt
ly assume that responsibility. Mayor
Thistlewood has not throttled and does not
wish to throttle within himself the noblest
attribute of human nature.
There is, sixteen miles from CARBON
the Illinois Central railroad, a beautiful
and productive farm, with fine residence,
within stones throw Of the post Office,
offered for lease for term Of years. There
is on the farm, among other attractions,
springs that, all through the drouth, fur
nished pure running water in abundant
quantities tor stock of all kinds. The
farm is the property Of Doctor Z. NJ. Lowe,
who desires to lease ii that he may turn his
attention to other business AS an evidence
of the productivess Of the farm, we will
only refer to the fact that the wheat crop
