The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1881-06-22

ioTh III OnIy tnat nc might nave an OppOr-
tunity by patriotic service to redeem the
place he once held, but lately has begun to
lose, IN the regards of a large portion OF the
American people who in years past were
his personal admirers and stcadfast politi-
col adhercnts and if New York must look
elsewhere for a senator she could not do
better than turn to Illinois. If, however,
he should employ the senatorship to crafty
the hatrcds engendered by his defeat at
Chicago, il were better for his own reputa-
ton that the proffered honor be elsewhere
bestowed.
Yesterday Chief Myers and Duputy
Health Officer Olmstcd paid their respects
to the famous Wilcox block and found
matters in such a deplorabe condition that
they arrested the entire eight families and
took them before the Police Magistrate,
who find each $500 and costs for maintain
ing nuisance. We had occasion refer to
this block while the sipe water was up, and
stated that the block was provided with
only one closet and that led into the cellar.
Health Officer Phllis ordered this abated,
and it was filed up. The occupants were
ordered to provided themselves with the
regulation tubs, but they did not and it is
enough to imagine the result. The block
is to be cleaned, disinfected, and the tubs
provided at once, or the occupants will be
subjected to another and heavier fine
Argus.

which mirror social and civic life, all of
which glow with his wonted iervor Of
style, while they impart healthful moral
stimulus TO character. Madame Necker, as
is well known, was the mother of Madame
de Stael. In this volume vol. lid we
have most interesting "reminiscences of the
early life of the daughter, and much about
the social life in France which preceded
the bloody reign of terror. 1t is an ex-
ceedingly interesting book translated by
Mary Stuart Smith.
1t is a good thing, pleasant thing,
and not an Improbable thing as regards
health, rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes and the
etcetras, to be farmers daughter. Not a
farm drudge, mere dairymaid, farm
servant, rising with the sun after sleeping
In an attic; but woman with true
poetical love of nature, keen intellectual
appreciation of the nobler things in life (;
and plenty Of leisure to muse and medi-
tate, and to roam through fields and mea-
dows, where the sun shines pcrennally and
the forest streams whirl along with gentle,
pleasing music and melody. This is the
ideal country lic-for which the city
dwcler signs for nine months, and fails to
find with constant wearisome labor during
the balance of the year. 1t was such a
farmers daughter who, under such cir.
cumstances, wrote the song of the wheat
This liz the wheat
The wheat woll.grown, mans lawful spoil
The new lucked fruit of patient toll
Pledge me the farmers sinewy hand
His goodly acres waiting stand;
Pledge me the hands his force can WELD
To pillow, to SOW, TO reap the hcldl
Bruise the bright heads and break them sore.
Scatter the chat from door to door
Show me the kernel sound and sweet
The nations bread, the winnowed wheat
These are the men
The men who cloave with sturdy stroke
A fallen giants heart of oak
Now build for life and llie's demands,
And I'LL with bread tho waiting lands
Clash rhyme with rhyme the thra sher's song,
Deal blows on blows, strike loud and long;
The wrench of hunger drives at length
The iron of unyielding strength
Weld the bent blade again, again
And serve the puny race of men
