AT six o'clock last night the Ohio river
stood at forty-seven feet two inches on the
guage at this point, which was rise dur
ing the previous twenty-four hours OF Just
three inches. When it is borne in mind
that at this stage of the river it takes an
immense volume of water to cause such a
rise, the three inches assume some lmpor-
lance. During the twenty-four hours end
ing at 4 yesterday afternoon the ONO
river fell two feet six inches at Cincinnati
and seven inches at Nashville, but rose one
inch at Louisville. AT st. Louis the Mis-
sissippi rose during the same period OF time
two inches, which is a fact of some impor-
lance to us in view Of the height of the Ohio
and the mild temperature of the north west
generally. But though the temperature OF
the northwest is almost as high as it is here
there is not much snow or ice which might
be melted and help to swell the mighty
floods. Yet the mild weather gives some
promise of rain which would be about as
bad as, if not worse than, snow.

The Aldrich and Parslow company
held forth to a fair house at the Opera
House last night. The audience numbered
about six hundred, which was more than
could have been reasonably expected, as
the streets and the weather were both
against it, and there had been but
little Advertising The play, my Partner,
was exceedingly well rendered. 1t is cast
in California, among the rough mining
population and affords much opportunity
for display of passion and cunning. The
parts were all ably supported by men and
women who understand them perfectly.
There has not been better pleased audi
ence in the Opera House since its erection
and there probably never will be- The
troupe deserved full house and would
have had it for several nights in succession
If the people were properly informed Of
its presence here.

This winter will doubtless cause
enough damage to the streets and side walks
of the city to keep the city busy all
next summer to repair them. Even the
paved streets must necessarily suffer great
ly, and all because nothing can be done to
them while they are covered with soft mud.
This experience will doubtless be profit
able one to the city fathers, who will here
after see that the streets and walks in the
city are in a fair condition at the begin
ming of winter and that material is kept
constantly on hand to make necessary re-
pairs even during winter.

soldiers who served in the war Of the rebel
lion. This bill proposes to do for union
soldiers, that which has been too long de-
layed, viz; mete out to them exact Justice,
by placing every soldier on precisely the
same footing as to bounty, which the
original Legislation of congress on the sub
ject failed to do. If this bill becomes a
a law, and that such will be the case, there
seems to be but little reasonable doubt
soldiers of the District represented by Mr..
Thomas, will receive under its provisions,
sum aggregating quite two hundred
thousand dollars. Another of these bill
provides for the construction of United
States Marine Hospital at Cairo, and APP
proprates hundred thousand dollars for
the purchase of proper cite, and the
erection of suitable buildings for use as
such hospital. When the fact is stated
that Cairo is the second port in the United
States, in the number of arrivals and de-
partures of steam vessels and the addi-
tional fact Is considered that in round num-
bers, fifteen hundred seamen received
medical treatment at that point during
the past year, at the hands, Of United
States Marine Medical Officers, the
necessity and importanceof an appropriation
for the erection of q Hospital building at
Cairo, as proposed by Mr.. Thomas will be
conceded. Mr.. Thomas is quite sanguine
that he will be successful in bis efforts to
secure the appropriation. Still another of
these bills, is one which provides for d.
viding Illinois into three judicial districts,
instead Of two as at present. and providing
that the courts of the additional district
shall be held at Cairo. Under this bill if
it shall becomes law, no expense will be
incurred in providing buildings for tho
holding of such courts, as the Government
has ample court accommodations already
provided in the Custom house there. An
additional district with courts at Cairo, will
prove great convenience, and ameasure of
large economy to the people of Southern
Illinois. This bill will DO pressed by Mr..
Thomas, and In his efforts in that direction
he will receive the cooperation of most, il
not oil tho members in Congress from Ill
inois, and Il will doubtless become a law.
Other Of the bills referred to will secure at,
tention in . fatule communication. Y

Chief Myers made two arrests yester-
day. One was man, who evidently had
not sufficient means of support, for he was
hardly able to stand up. He was jailed to
sober up and will probably be tried to-day
The other was bay horse, the appear
ance of which justified the conclusion that
he had been badly treated and was guilty
of the same offense as the man aforesaid
but only in different sense. The horse
is of medium height, is very lean and has
a sore back. He was in the act of enter

fined by the chief and the owner can

Ohio lcvec, Tuesday evening for the pur-
pose of protesting against the unjust dis
elimination in freight rates made by the
Illinois Central railroad against the city.
The meeting was an informal one and only
the first step toward an organization of all
the principal merchants in the city and a
vigorous protest against the now too glazing
injustice. 1t is said that the rates on grain,
etc. from this point south are the same as
those from points above us, which has
naturally operated very much against the
commerce of this city. Buyers of the
south, who have sough business relations
with northern grain dealers and other mer-
chants, have found it in some cases more
profitable to draw their supplies from points
above Cairo than from Cairo, and for no
other reason than because of the unfairly
proportional freight rates from Cairo. 1t
is likely that another meeting will be held
soon and that committee will be appoint
ed to confer with the proper officials of the
railroad company named with view to
having the apparent wrong righted

ABOUT CAPTAIN THOMAS.

A Washington correspondent Of the Mas
sac Journal speaks thus of the member of
congress from this district Of the legislation
he proposes to affect; "The appointment
Of Hon. John r. Thomas, the talanted and
popular representative Of your district, by
speaker Keifer, TO the Craftsmanship of the
Mississippi leveo and Improvement commit.
tee, gives great satisfaction to all here who
feel an interest in the improvement Of the
Mississippi the great thoroughfare
OF commerce-for its vast and immense fer
tile valley. The appointment Of Mr.. Thomas
to the Craftsmanship Of said committee, was
an eminently fitting and proper one. In
view Of the fact that the district Mr.
Thomas represents, has river front Of two
hundred miles on the Mississippi; and on
the OHIO, its tributary hundred and forty
miles, the consistency no member Of con-
gross from the entire west or south, has q
greater interest than his, in the improve
ment of that mighty river, the highway for
the commerce of its magnificent valley.
1t is well known too that no member of
congress feels more profound interest in
the improvement of the Mississippi and its
tributaries, or more intelligently and thor
oughly comprehends all questions bearing
upon the mighty interests his committee
have in charge, than does Mr.. Thomas.
Few members, serving their second term
in congress have made so brilliant record,
attained to the measure of popularity, and
command the large influence in the house as
does your representative. This popularity
ndinhuence, seconded by his untireingl and
wisely directed efforts, will assure the &C
complishment of all that is within range
of possibility, in furtherance of the great
interests involved in the improvements of
the Mississippi river.
The people Of your district, and of the
entire valley are certainly to be congratu-
lated that Mr.. Thomas has been designated
by Speaker Keifer, for the special work of
championing their interests in connection
with obtaining appropriations for the great
ly needed improvements Of the river
named. This work certainly could not
have fallen in ADLER or safer hands.
PROPOSED LEGISLATION IN WHICH THE
CAIRO DISTRICT HAS SPECIAL INTEREST.
Ever alive to the interests of his imme.
date contingency, Mr.. Thomas, your men,
Der of congress, gave much time and
thought, during the past summer and fall,
in maturing and putting in shape numer-
GUS bills for presentation to congress at its
opening this winter, which, when enacted
into laws, as surely will be the case at no
distant period, must of necessity prove
immensely advantageous to tho people
your entire district, as well as other porf
tons of Illinois, adjacent states, and some
of them TO the whole country.
OF these bills, your correspondent will
briefly refer to few Of special Importance.
One Of these is to equalize bcunties Of

The editorial 1--WE" is mystery to
many people. The Oil City Derrick gives
the following reasons: Self preservation is
the first law of nature. 1t begins at home
like old Mother Charity. There is some
human nature about an editor, public opin-
ionic the contrary notwithstanding. An edi-
tor thinks too much Of his as" to wear
them in mourning, and therefore when
speaking of some slab.sided six-footer as
miserable, red-nesed, pussilanimous, wife
beating snoozer he considers it the better
part of valor to drop in an occasional 1--WE"
This creates in the mind of the six-footer
the impression that the editorial force con
sists of standing army, armed with dread
full "we"apons. Furthermore, in cases
where the victim comes around to the of
flee to kill the writer of any particular
item, it is so pleasant to have the guilty
mans identity buried in the obscurity of
the plural "we." The editor-in.chief, the
commercial editor, the city editor, the To-.
cal editor, the reporters, the book keepers,
compositors, bookbinders, .jobbers, press
men, devil, and all the delivery boys are
thus placed on common footing by the
little pronoun 1--WE" and when the en-
ragged person looks about him and finds
how many wives he would make widows
and how many children he would
make orphans, by killing off all
included in the eve" at one fell swoop, he
sickens Of the sanguinary undertaking,
turns sadly away, goes to some bar-room,
takes drink, condemns the paper, proph-
estes that il is being run into the ground
and declares that he will henceforth exert
his political influence to squelch the sheet.
