President Arthur has evidently very
little regard for the quotation, "there is no
fury like woman scorned." or else he has
fortified himself against that fury; for it is
announced that he has determined that in
the future no women shall be appointed TO
Offices of trust under the government. This
rule will apply to such offices az post Offices,
pension agencies, etc. and will not, of
course, have any bearing on positions in the
departments President Arthur's reasons,
as given by one Of his friends, are that the
post Office department has had great deal
Of trouble as the result ofappointing wom-
en- TO Office, and that such appointments
have caused good deal of dissatisfaction
in the party. This rule will affect num-
Der OF post offices, the pension agency at
Chicago, etc. 1t is, perhaps, safe to say
that President Arthur would not have done
this had woman the right to use the ballot
They would then be a power in the land
whose anger, or even displeasure, he
would not have had the courage to arouse.

The Wabash railroad office building,
on Ohio levee, is all torn up internally.
The counters, desks and screens are scatter
ed all over the room below. The reason of
this disturbance is that the offices are be-
ing remodeled and consolidated. A straight
counter is to run along near the centre of
the room, similar to that in the Illinois
Central railroad Office, aud the door, now
opening in the centre of the front, is to be
closed and the one to the right side is to be
used for ingress and egress. The general
freight agents Office and train masters
Office, which are now on the second floor of
the building, will be brought down to the
first floor, so that all the officers of the CON-
pany here may be on the first floor for the

had been i'll but short time and so little

inform Mr.. Fitch of his fathers illness at

For several days passed there have
been rumors in the streets to the effect that
smallpox had made its appearance in the
city. Cases have been reported to exist in
various portions of the city, which, it was
said, resulted from one case which ended
fatal in the hospital few days ago.
These rumors are, so far as can be learned
with any degree of certainty, foundationess.
The hospital case referred to was river
man, who had received an injury in the
head, which, having been neglected, began
to tester, caused fever, and other disorders
coming in connection with this, finally
caused death. The case reported to exist in
little shanty, at the corner Of Thirteenth
and Walnut streets, is entirely fictitious,
there being not even a case of sickness in
the house. Until now Cairo has been as
healthy as ever-free from all diseases of
virulent character-an there is no mme-
diate prospect that she will be visited in
this way. But there is possibility which
needs to be guarded against by every Cit.
zen, and there is no better way known to
science in which to do this than by vac
cination. Therefore, we say, vaccinate

erected very good Touring mill at
Bismarck, but the probability is that
they do not propose to carry the town.

scarce in that region, it would make
a desirable home. If man could get
