A NOTABLE EYENT

One OF the most notable events of III,
season, was the reception and Afternoon
lunch rendered the members of the Wo.
mans Club and Library Association by the
Secretary, Mrs II. II. Candee, at her resi-
dence on Thursday last. Despite the drip
ping rain. and muddy streets at the appoint
cd hour the attractive rooms were comfort.

the Club.
The literary exercises were carried OUT
without single omission. A most inter.
estlng paper was read by the Librarian
Mrs. p E. Powell, entitled "a trip to Old
Virginia." gives to the ancient historic
site of jamestown and vicinity and of the
Yorktown Centennial.
The next in order was an appropriate
sentiment by the President, Mrs. Taylor

May it live and flourish thousand wears
and become in the not very distant future
indispensable in the minds of the people
and next in importance to our Public
Schools as an educational power.

George, who was detained at home by sick

mankind can ever fail but, like the deer

perhaps, the most distinguished that has
ever been here and number of citizens
gathered at various places in the city to
get sight of them, Gould in particular,
of course. The opinions concerning Cairo
formed by these gentlemen after their sur.
vey OF the place were very favorable, but
there was no time for an interview. One
OF them however, Mr.. A. L. Hopkins, the
| first vice president Of the Wabash road, re-

tent judges thousands OF times before. that

From the Proud Standpoint

ST superior style" the languid city beauty
surveys the imaginary physical shortcom-
ings OF her rustic female cousin. Yet il
the latter possess finer set of teeth, as she
probably does if she uses Sozodont, and the
metropolitan belle does not, that striking
contrast SO much in her favor enables her
to turn the tables with avengencc. Peary

RIVER RISING.

The following dispatche was received
yesterday by the signal station here from
General Hazen, at Washington
WASHINGTON d. c. JAN. 18th, 1889.
Observer, Cairo. Ills
The lower Mississippi will continue tc
rise and probably reach the danger line at
Cairo on Sunday and the danger line at
Vicksburg during the coming week. Very
heavy rains have fallen in the Ohio, Cum.
berland and Tennessee valleys and floods
will probably occur in the lower Mississip.
pi valley.
If General IIazen means that to-day the
Mississippi river will reach point here
where it will endanger Cairo he makes q
mistake, The Mississippi river is now
quite low at this point and would be much
lower but for the back water of the Ohio
river which is tolerably high. Cairo could
stand between fifteen and twenty feet more
water on the Mississippi side without being
in any danger But by "thc danger line''
General Hazen probably means that point
where the river will leave its course and
flood the bottom lands above and below
Cairo.

the week not less than four hundred more

Already the many excellent qualities
and superior ability Of Mr.. John II. Oberly,
Of The Bloomington Bulletin are being
recognized in the senatorial district in
which he resides and he is being urged to
become candidate for the state legsla-
ture from that district on the democratic
ticket But with characteristic modesty
he declines in the following Language -
Come, now; this will not do. We blush at
the compliments; we laugh at the sarcasms;
we decline the nomination. We will not
be considered, even in the remotest sense, q
candidate for any office in the gift of the
American people, and much less for seat
in the general assembly. Davis intended
to be sarcastic when he nominated us the
other day; but he neglected to add, as Ar
temus Ward would have done: "This is
sarkusm;" and the innocent Baldwin took
the nomination as a well intentioned COM
pliment! Baldwin, old boy don't you
know that member Of the Legislature re-
quires accomplishments we cannot boast
and that only a Peoria man has in perfec-
ton, Don't you know we don't drink
and that, since we arrived at Bloomington,
we have been getting better ana better
daily, until now we are almost too good to
even visit Springfield tor few hours
The temperance agitation, and association
with Gov. Hamilton and 'Pantagraph'
Davis and the Bloomington mob, has made
us too good for the Legislature. We in
tend to live in Bloomington! on modest
fare, to vote the democratic ticket with be-
coming regularity, to stay out Of the legis-
lature, and to thus continue growing bet
ter day by day until at last we join the
church and 20 to heaven or--return to

The carpenters, brick masons and
other mechanics in the city are much elated
at the brilliant prospect of unusual activity
in their lines of trade in this city next
Spring. Some of them are already fixing
their wages at a figure to suit the times
that are to be. The anticipations of these
gentlemen are not groundless; besides
the five or six large buildings which the
Singer Sewing Machine Company will erect
anumber of business houses and residences,
for some of which plans and estimates have
already been made, will be built. The
open winter and the bad crops have natur-
ally affected Cairo, as they have every other
city within their range, and the result has
been that business is not quite as good, and
improvements not quite SO actively engaged
in, as would have been the case had the
crops been good and the weather appro-
pirate to the season. If the river were
closed between here and st. Louis, as was
the case last winter, most all south bound
freight would have to come to Cairo by rail
to be reshipped from here by river or rail
as might be desired. Our wharves would
do trebble the business they now do boat
and other stores would be full of customers;
the town would be full of. railroad men,
all at work and making money, and there
would be business in all our retail stores,
our saloons and-our police courts, Then
everybody would be making money and
there wonld be more happiness. But it is
all right as it it; business is fair, anyhow,
and there are the strongest prospects of
another grand boom for CAIRO in spring.

Postage stamp Frauds.

In our paper for August 26th last, We
gave resume of the probable modes by
which frauds were committed by the re-
use of postal stamps, and we pointed out
some of the directions in which improve
ments might be made with probable ad-
vantage.
The principal losses to the government
appear to be, in brief, from the following
causes.
l. Stamps are not cancelled, or are so
slightly defaced that they readily pass
into second use and escape detection.
2. Cancelled stamps are removed from
the letters, the canceling ink washed
off, the stamps regummed, and sold for
reuse.
3. Uncanceled stamps are removed by
rogues in the postoffices, and old can
celed stamps substituted. This is prob
ably the way that large loss is occa-
stoned.
1t would seem that the inventor who
can make a really serviceable postage
stamp that can be readily applied to an
envelope, but which cannot be removed
without the total obliteration of the
stamp, will have produced valuable
imp .ovement. By serviceable postage
stamp is meant one that will bear req
sonable handling without injury, that
has no poisonous qualities, that is easily
applied, and, as just stated, that cannot
be removed intact after it is once put on
the letter. Scientific American.

SalutatiOp.

Each nation has its own method OF
salutation. In South Africa it is the
custom to rub toes. In Lapland your
friend rub BIS his nose against yours. The
Turk folds bis arms upon his breast and
bows very low. The Moors ride at 8
gallop towards q stranger as though
they would unhorse him, and when close
at hand suddenly check their horse and
fire pistol over his head. The Egyp-
tian solicitously asks you;
"How do you perspire?" and let's his
hand fall to the knee.
The Chinese bows low aud inquiries,
"Have you eaten?"
The Spaniard says, God be with you,
SIR" or "How do you stand?"
And the Neapolitan piously remarks,
"Grow in holiness"
The German asks, "Wie gents? How
goes it with yon?"
The Frenchman bows profoundly
and inquiries, How do you carry your
self?''
