The retirement of Gen, Gilmore from
the presidency Of the Mississippi river
commission Just at this time is generally
regretted by the friends Of the Commission
1t is thought by some that his request to
be releved may have been occasloned by
the harsh criticisms to which the commits
sion has recently been subjected and by the
prospect of an unpleasant controversy IN
congress. Col. Comstock, who has been
designated to be president Of this commits
sion, has hitherto been somewhat more
favorable to the use of levees in connec'
ton with the jetty system than Gen. Gil
more.

We have some reason to believe that
the hotels and boarding houses in Cairo
just outdid themselves yerterday in the
way Of cooking. They spread some of the
finest, most varied and best prepared vtu

lngly thankful, Cairo public. And the re-
suit will probably be liberal installment
of dispeptlcs. Physicians may prepare lot
Of prescriptions for indigestion in advance,
so that they may be able to supply promptly
the great demand for them that will prob
ably follow yesterdays practical exhibition
of gratitude to generous God.
