OUR PRESIDENTS.

First stands the lofty Washington.
That nobly great immortal one.
The elder Adams next we see,
And Jefferson comes number three.
The fourth is Madison You know,
The fifth one on the list Monroe.
The sixth an Adams comes again,
And Jackson seventh In the train.
Van Buren eighth upon the line,
And Harrison counts number nine.
The tenth is Tyler in his turn.
And Polk eleventh as we learn.
The twelfth is Taylor that appears;
The thirteenth. Fillmore. fills his years.
Then Pierce comes fourteenth into view,
Buchanan is the fifteenth due.
Now Lincoln comes two terms to fill.
But God o'errules the peoples will;
And johnson fills tn appointed time.
Cut short by an assassin's crime.
Next Grant assumes the lofty seat
The man who never knew defeat.
Two terms to him, then Hayes succeeds.
And quietly the nation leads.
Garfield comes next, the peoples choice;
But soon ascend's mourning voice
From every hamlet in the land.
brutal wretch with murderous hand
Strikes low the country's chosen chief;
And anxious millions plunged in grief,
Implore in vain Almighty aid.
That Deaths stern hand might be stayed.
Arthur's term has now begun,
Which makes the number tweuty-one.

The enormous increase Of private
fortunes within twenty-five years is
attracting attention. and exciting
comment. The property of Mr.. w.
HI. Vanderbilt is variously estimated
at from 5000, 100000 to S300.000,-
600. He is without question the
richest man on the globe to-day.
He could buy up any of the Roth
childs and still be the richest man in
the world. And, unlike the rich men
of England-the Dukes of Bedford.
estminster, Argyll and Buccleuh,
who inherited their great estates
Vanderbilt's property has been ac-
cumulated in two generations, most
of it witl.ia- thirty years. OF course
it is impossible to tell how much
property men in the midst of great
financial operations really own. The
following list given in one of our
daily papers is supposed to be ap-
proximately correct. Gould, $780,
100000; Mackey, S50,000,000
Crocker, $4,000, 900: John Rocka-
felIer, of the Standard Oil Company,
| $40, 0,000,000; c. p. Huntington,
100000 D. O. Mills, S20,000,-
600; Senator Fair, $50, 1000, 900; ex-
Governor Stanford, 10000, 900 :;
Russell Sage, s15, 100000; J. r.
Keene, S15, ,O0O,0 900; S. J. Tilden,
S15, 900; E. d. Morgan, S10,-
100000; Samuel Sloan, 100000
600: Commodore Garrison. SO. .000,-

Hugh j. Jewett, $4,000, 900; Sidney

900, 900; John W. Garrett, S5,000,-
900, and W. W. Astor, 5,000,0 900.
Indeed, the list of fve-million men
in the different cities of the Union is
too long to give. The world has
never before witnessed such rapid
and vast aceumulations of wealth in
so short a time in few hands as in
the United States during the last
thirty years. We leave the facts to
the consideration of thoughtful read
ers who will find in them very protita-
BILE food for reflection.
THAT's THE TROUBLE.-A few years
ago, while riding in manufacturing
district, returning home one Sunday
evening from ministerial duties,
was accasted by man, who, though
intoxicated. seemed resolved to enter
into conversation. He admitted that
his conduct was wrong, and said he
was constantly forming resolutions OF
amendment. He was poor, and un-
happy at home because he was 9
drunkard. and a drunkard because he
was a Sabbath-breaker, MANY q
time" he said, II leave my home Oh
Sunday morning to go to a place OF
worship. but then the public houses
are open. | generally pass one OF
two. and at the door of the third
stands perhaps All old acquaintance.
He invites me in and then it is all
over with me. | spend the money
should keep my family with, and
have to work hard all the week, and to
struggle at the same time with head
ache and hunger" | shall never for
get his concluding words. They were
spoken with the energy of great feel
ing. The poor fellow talked himself
sober. Sir said he, IF the great
folks want to keep us poor folks
sober, they should shut up the traps
that catch us. ''-Erchdnge.

the above named counties cannot well be
beaten. Medley has a site on the Mississippi
that is charming; Mrs. L, F. Medley has
general store here that would
do credit to our own city.
Her interests are we'll guarded by Mr.
Charles Hoglan and Mr.. Guy Stephenson,

AN IMPORTANT EVENT.

Since Monday the Texas s St. Louis
railroad is transferring cars between this
city aud Birds Point, Missouri, and yester
day the Offices of the company here were
thrown open for the reception of freight
bound for any point along the line of the
road. Monday about fifty cars were
transferred, and yesterday train load of
cotton arrived for reshipment from here to
St LOUIS, via the Cairo Short Line.
The event will be hailed with pleasure
by the business men of Cairo, for it is the
signal for the opening of a splendid field
of business activity. What We want now
is an acquaintance with the peaple along
the line of the new road, and it should be
formed by the merchants of Cairo before
Others do SO. A splendid opportunity Is
presented, to take advantage of it is the
thing.

A Woman With a Big Bouquet,

A dreadful old woman, armed with
huge bouquet of wild flowers, was 4 fea-
turc of the congroga,ed life on board an
open horse-car at the South end the
other day, says the Boston JounaL The
bouquet was bri5tling thing, abound
ing in ragged ends OF foliage aud serried
spikes OF flowers, which stood out in 50
many directions that the affair looked
like pOrcupne that had called in the
service Of some good fairy and got itself
turned into q vegetable, When the
woman rot aboard the car she knocked
oil with her bouquet the hat of a man
who insisted on keeping the end seat,
and over whose feet she had to stumble,
and after she got herself settled with the
flowers before her, their ends so bebbed
about and ticklod the necks of the pas
sengers on the forward seat that they
struck out wildly, supposing the trouble
to be due to the flies and then glared
at the old woman when they discovered
the true facts in the case. And when
the conductor came along to take her
fare she laid the bouquet down beside
her being like all women in horse cars,
without the remotest idea OF what she
had done with her ticket-and "A near
sighted young man who just then got in
sat down upon it, and found therein
keen-toothed thorn and bunch of wet
moss, and retired to the back platform
TO rub himself furtively and dry off in
the SUM- And all through the trip every
body was anxious to see what the bou-
quet and accompanying woman would
do next, and general sign of relief
went up when they finally left the car
together

Pisoatorial Rat Catching,

So a novel mode of catching rats is thus
Described in the American Angler. The
writer says that person having the pa
tience Of most fishermen can have much
sport in hooking the vermin. The ware
house adjoining his place of business is
infested by these file tails and our
friend may be seen in the early spring
and late fall, on an occasional evening
just after dusk seated at the back win
dow Of his counting room Overlooking
the yard Of the warehouse), with an or
binary rod in hand, strong linen line
and spring hook, commonly called a
"sockdolages." balted with a lump Of
fresh beef, patiently waiting for Il bite
1t does not tarry long nor does it con
sumo itself to nbbles but with hungry
snap the bait is seized and the hooks of
the sockdologer impales the raj, when
the excitement commences. A lusty
rat is no mean antagonist at the end of
plant pole and two feet of line, and
his plunges, twisting and straightaway
dashes are more perpleXiDg to the angler
than the leaps, surges and sulkings Of
the gamey trout or bass. The rat is
generally landed after soasonable sport
and killed by blow from Il bludgeon.
In this connection we may state that
thousands Of small hooks are bought by
sugar retiners for rafting purposes, The
hooks are baited with small pieces Of
beef on zach, aud then distributed about
the building. The rats swallow the beef
and hook. The first is digested, the
latter is not-death, of course, results.
The remedy is said to be infalible.

The Canadian Indian Policy,

The good fruits Of Canada's Indian
policy were shown in II striking way a
week ago when large body of red men
met to dedicate the council-house which

number only 220 persons, own 1000
acres of land divided into tifty-acre
farms, and all under civilizations; they
maintain church and n school, and
have 100000 in the government funds.
Thinking that their prosperity entitled
them To the convenience OF u council
house in which to transact their bus
mess, they erected n neat and comfort
able building. and asked their friends to
help them dedicate it, About fifteen
hundred members of the Six Nations and
Indian delegates from remote points
were present. Songs, speeches, dances,
the music cf brass bands and an album
