The Bottle Fountain.

What is called '.The Bottle Fountain
may be made from an ordinary bottle
and piece Of glass tube. The tube
should be somewhat smaller at one end
than at the other. Place the tube, with
the large end down, through the cork
stopper Of the bottle. Let the bottle be
about two-thirds full Of water, and let
the tube nearly, but not quite, reach the
bottom. Blow with all your might into
the tube, and quickly remove your
mouth. Then, if the arrangements have
been made properly. the water will spurt
out and there will be fountain of spray
until the water is exhausted.

Jennie Cramer.
Ipa.l,a c..I.

A year ago Jennie Cramer was the
most beautiful girl in New Haven.
and to-day, if Gabriel should blow bis
trumpet, be wouldn't be able to get
enough of her together to make QUO
rum. Girls who are taking the chan.
ces that poor Jennie took, every day,
by taking wine baths inside, bought
for them by young, brainless spend
thrifts, had bert think over the case of
Jennie and imagine how they would
like to be analysed the way she has
been. From the testimony before the
Malley entertainment, it appears that
her brain was given one doctor to sift,
her lungs to another, her heart to an
other, her liver went begging for a
customer, and her body was divided
up into choice cuts, her bones sent to
bone-boiler with M. d. attached to his
name, and there probably is, not
enough left of the poor girl to wad
gun. 1t is awful to think of the way
that child was cut up, and boiled, and
fried. and friccaseed, and roasted, and
sifted through a cullender to find
traces Of poison. And during the
testimony before the Moot Court,
every allusion to any part of the dead
girl which had been treated by the
physic sharps, smiles would adorn the
faces of the prisoners and their friends
the jury would laugh, and the audi
ence, composed mostly of women,
would blush behind fans as each organ
of Jennie's was discussed, and evidence
given as to the search for foreign sub
stances that would kill. There are
thousands Of fool girls that think they
know more than whole families oughtto
know, who could be greatly benefited
if they were taken across somebody's
knee and compelled to listen to the
reading Of the life of Jennie Cramer
from the time she first got mashed on
q two-legged jackass until her body
was cut into thousand pieces to find
out what allied her. About the FIRST
step that a young girl takes that is
wrong is to get an idea that she eknows
more than her mother, and that the old |
lady is "back number" and doesn't
know any thing about the fun of be-
ing out nights swilling beer, swallow
ing highwlnes. and riding IN a red
buggy with horse that will drive
himself, whether anybody has hold Of
The lines or not. The girl is liable TO
Be deceived in the old lady, That
sstimable person no doubt knows alll
lbout it, and knows what a fool it
makes of agirl. And when girl will
lot listen kindly to advice from her
mother, she should have the conceit
aiken out Of her with q press board.

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the ong sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood. 7'A
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

bank on the Mississippi side aud explained
his theory of preventing sipeage into the
city N the future. The Trip to Mound City
was for the purpose Of examining into the
merits OF the sipe watr pump recently
bought and put up by that town. The re-
sutof these investigations was the APP
pointment Of asub committee, consisting of
Major l.. w. Halliday aud Mr. L. Pine, to
make inquiries, during voluntary trip to
Chicago which they had decided upon
making for business Of their own, rs TO the
cost and possible accomplishments of steam
pumps, aud other matters pertaining to the
subject under consideration. AS first step
of the committee this is very long aud an
important one and the next and subsequent
steps it may be safely expected will be
equally SO.
On the 10th inst. one Geo. w, Green,
living up town. lost revolver and a gold
watch and chain worth about ninety dol
lars together, which were stolen from his
house during the night. The case WAS
given into the hands Of the officers, who
worked on it diligently, but trultlessly,
until yesterday, when the chain was seen
by Officers Martin aud Mahanny, in posses
| sion of a man. The man was arrested and
questioned closely, and he admitted that
he had bought the chain from Sol. Farm
baker. The officers called upon Mr.. Farm
baker, who admitted that he sold the cham
to the man upon whom ii was found, but
refused to tell from whom he himself OBJ
tanned the chain. He would not, be said,
tell from whom be got the chain if he
were offered hundred dollars He adj
mitted, however, that the person from
whom he bought the chain said that it was
crooked" that is, that it was stolen, The
officers, therefore, saw themselves compelled
to arrest Farnbaker on the charge Of know
ingly receiving stolen goods and OF larceny
Justice Robinson held Farnbaker to bail 10
the sum Of two hundred dollars, which the
latter promptly gave, and the preliminary
examination will take place at nine O'clock
this morning The officers are satisfied that
they have a good case.

WHAT LIE Has DONE.

Republicans know Congressman Thomas
better than the Democrats know him. The
Carbonate Free Press is an orthodox Re.
publican newspaper, and from its issue Of
the 6th inst. we copy the following
"Why have we opposed Capt Thomas,
Because he has been weighed and found
wanting because he has been guilty OF
treachery because he has been guilty Of
faIsehood; because he has thrown insult
into the faces OF good working Republi
cans because he is unpopular aud cannot
be elected. Good and sufficient reasons,
we think"
And from the same paper Of the same
date we copy hefolowing:
"CoNUNDRUM: What has Capt Thomas
done for bis district during his four years
in congress!
Answer: Put the Democratic Holiday
into Office and secured positions for host
of his rebel kin in Maryland aud Missouri.
IL that all
No. He voted against the appropriation
for the Mississippi river recommended by
the Mississippi river commission, one year
ago
Is that alI3
No He lodged the Mississippi river
appropriation now pending IN congress.
Is that alli
No He secured an appropriation for
building road to the National cemetery
by absenting himself from Washington
when the bill was taken up and passed,
Is that alli
No, Hchas eAectually shown himself tc
be incompetent and unworthy of the trust
roposed in HIM by the Republicans of the
district, and by 50 doing has performed the
greatest service of his life
And he will never 60 back to congress
any more"

at Memphis thirty-eight years ago, in
truth an finland sea- 1t will become
part of the great commercial "high way of
nations.n
The improvement OF the Mississippi river
is only possible by means of money given
by scongress. The money is given in
the form Of an appropriation in what is
called the "Riyer and Harbor Bill The
river and harbor bills are usually passed
through congress by Democratic votes aided
by few Republicans. When our last
Democratic representative Hon. William
Hartzoll, was IN congress, he twice voted IN
favor Of a river and harbor BILL Our pres.
ent Republican representative in congress
has twice had achance to vote for river
and harbor bill, and he has both tim es
failed to vote for it; and once voted against
it. With these facts before the voters of
Cairo, 1t will be natural for them TO con
clude that it is best for the interests Of
CAIRO that this congressional district should
be represented by Democrat Extreme
partisans OF the Republican party aud the
oiiice-holdrs and their dependents and re.
latives may think differently; but all other
citizens Of Cairo will, we believe, feel 1t to
their duty at the next election to support a
tried friend Of western and southern i'm.
pruvoments.
