The Widows and Orphans Mutual AiC
! society has taken boom this month. Mr.

ships, insurng $l77, 100000 We learn tina
| he reported to the board Of managers OF
Tuesday night that there had been certif
Gates issued since the first instant to the
amount of $205,0O000, being the larges
amount ever issued in one month by the
society. We, like every good citizen Of
Cairo, hope that the W. e. 0, may continue
to increase until it becomes one of first
Institutions OF the kind in the country. We
are for every enterprise that IS calculated
to elevate Cairo.
The Argus may, by distoTting state
meuts Of The BULLETIN and numbering
the multiplication table, convince itself that
It's extrayagant figures on street filing were
correct, but the intelligent readng public
will not be deceived. A man who makes
an error Of million of dollars in ascer-
tanning the result of stated case in sim
pie multiplication, aud then regards the
error Of 50 trifling nature that he believes
that he can palm it off tor truth upon intel
ligent public, by sticking to it." is beyond
the reach Of ordinary means of correction.
The most convincing logic administered in
strong doses and with the greatest courtesy
would not have the slightest effect upon
him.
Russia seems to think she may as well
settle her little affairs with Austria while
the latter power is hampered with threat
encd revolution, aud before the terms Of her
present compact with Germany are altered.
BY that treaty Germany is not to be called
upon by Austria for active cooperation if
attacked by Russia only. The true secret
Of the trouble between these empires is the
question Of which is to own the whole of
the Danublan principalities in the present
and Turkey and Greece in the future.
Russia has ordered all private shipments
on merchant steamers in the Black sea to
cease SO that they may be available at a
moments notice for carrying troops, stores
aud ammunition,
Chester Clarion: "One day last week
part of the bones OF some large, extinct
animal were dug up in the north part of
the prison yard A tooth measured Az
inches long, 3 I. wide aud inches deep.
The upper part Of the thigh bone was six
inches ia diameter at the smallest part
Where it Joined to the hip-bone it was II e
inches in diameter. On Monday Of this
week part Of the upper jaw-bone was found
with tusk like ivory, rearly four feet
long These bones were found about thirty
feet under the surface and are in perfect
state of preservation. The warden has
charge of them and will keep them for the
state,"-Pretty big animal that. But its
nothing to what it would be if measured by
the Argus mans town raising rule.
Two carloads of stone tagging arrived
Yesterday, which is to be used for sidewalks
in front of The BULLETIN building, on Ohio
levee, and the business house of Mr.. h. H,
Cunningham, next below it. The main OBJ.
iect is to remedy the evil Of water running
into the coal vaults and from there into the
easements of the houses, whenever it rains
to amount to anything. The tagging will
be laid over substantial brick walls, and
cutters will be constructed to carry the
rainwater away. In order to make the
drainage perfect, the gutter must extend
the entire length Of this block and to this
end the other property holders, who are
likewise afflicted with the water evil, should
proceed without delay to make the same
improvement, The cost is trihing in com.
parison to the benefits derived, and Spring
field block would be improved in appear

The trouble with the new posta note
Is that there is too much work involved in
issuing it. Not only this, but it is kind
of work which, though simple, Is liable to
many mistakes. The town and state, the
dollars and cents, and the postmaster's name
must be written in. Then the correspond.
ing figures in the margin must be punched.
Thus, If the note is Tor Ma the note must
be punched three times, once for tho dol.
