The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1882-01-17

The ninth day of April, 1882, will be
the two-hundredth anniversary of the dis
covery of the mouth of the Mississippi river
by Robert Cavelier De La Sale. The
members of the Chicago historical society
think that this historical event should be
appropriately COMMUNICATED on that day.
In view of the fact that La Sale was one of
the first white men who ever set foot upon
the soil where Chicago now stands and
that his settlement on Peoria Lake, in
March, 1880, where he built Fort Creve-
CGur, was the first civilized occupation of
what now constitutes the state of Illinois;
and as it was from this point that he i'm
provised the expedition to discover the
mouth of the Mississippi, the society has
ventured to suggest that the historical
associations located in the valleys of the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers should unite
in celebration Of that discovery in the
city of New Orleans, April 9th, 1882.
The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1882-01-17

Yesterday the artesian we'll which is
being driven on the premises of the Hal
liday had reached depth of one hundred
and thirty-five feet. AT a depth of about
one hundred and fifteen feet layer of
small gravel, mingled with pure, white sand
was reached, which gives ground for the
belief that the water obtained from this
depth would be Of the purest kind. But it
is the object of Major Halliday, under
whose immediate supervision the work is
being done, to 90 down to depth of two
hundred feet in the expectation of there
obtaining steady, voluntary flow
Of clear, healthy water. The bed
of gravel was reached Immediately after
penetrating a thick layer Of sand. Wheth.
or the gravel bed has been penetrated and
another substance reached since the pipe
has gone twenty feet deeper has not been
ascertained. The progress Of the work will
be a matter Of interest to the Cairo public,
and if Major Halliday's venture proves a
success, 1t may lead to something of benefit
to the community ut large.

A prominent New York
Artist, photographed a
short time ago Mr.. Oscar
Wilde, the Esthetic apostle,
i'm many positions which
are very characteristic, as
being explanatory of the
doctrines of this new dis
ciple. Among many OF the
compositions which were
emblematic, were some,
with the dim and shadOWy
patterns of sunfiOWers and
lilies on the walls, and used
as accessories i'm the interi-
Ors, and when exterior
compositions were useds
then the artist was equally
happy i'm their arrangement
The proof of the negatives
gave Mr.. Wilde the greatest
satisfaction, as does the
Esthetic and other poses OF

Is 1t Another Fraud.

The Lewiston journal says: "a lady in this
city, purchased for her son, short time since,
from stranger then staying at Lewiston
hotel, the right to sell in Lewiston and Auburn
a patent mop-wringer. This was an ingen-
ious little contrivance, made OF a coiled spring,
to be attached to the side of the pail supposed
to be used in hopping. The young man had
secured quantity Of the wfingers and had
begun to sell them in the two cities, when
along came second stranger who claimed that
the patent was his, the first stranger had no in
terest in it, and his sale of any rights was
fraudulent. He agreed however, to relinauish
his claim for $25 or some such sum; otherwise,
he would prosecute for infringement. The
Lewiston parties refused to make any trade
with him, but stopped selling the wringerss,
and very properly placed the case in the hands
of an attorney, who is investigating. There
is an invoice OF wringers for them at a Lewis
ton station, but they decline to take the goods
until tho case is settled A gentleman in Leeds
has been served in similar way, and it is sus-
pected that other cases will come to light in
this county"

MONDAYS ELECTION
Many Unfounded Rumors in Regard to
It's Legality.

The many rumors that were current yester-
day in regard to the illegality OF the electi
Monday prove to be without any foundation
The principal defect alleged was that the City
Clerk failed to post up the voting lists in the
various wards, seven days previous to the cleo
ton Yesterday, as provided in the Revised
Statutes of Maine. The leading lawyers of the
city, including the City Solicitor, are of the
opinion that the provisions OF the statute are
directory, not mandatory, and that the second
election was perfectly legal The negligence
of one officer can not oblige the thousand
voters of city to hold another election. The
statutes declare that the Aldermen shall post
the lists at least seven days previous to the
election and provide penalties OF not less than
fifty or more than one hundred dollars, ana
thirty dollars additional for each day they fali
to do SO. But the statutes do not provide Tor
new election in case the lists are not posted.
The spirit of the law was complied with in this
case, in that the old lists were kept posted in
the ward rooms. 1t is also stated by leading
lawyers that it is not necessary to hold four
days' session previous to election and in Bid
deford it is not done.
