Mrs. Catharine Cheney, nee Smith,
died at IL 80 o'clock Thursday night alter
an illness of about six months. She was
the last of the family of Smiths, who were
among the first settlers in Cairo. She was
only twenty eight years of age and seemed
to be destined to live many years yet, but
consumption which had taken away several
members of the family before her also
brought her to an untimely grave. Three
children, all boys, and husband, survive
her.
The weather for the last few days has
been so abomlnably pleasant that some PEG
pie have come to believe that the meddlers
with the ninetieth maredisn have made
mistake and set the sun several months out
of the way. But this notion is probably
wrong. 1t is more likely that these few
days of pleasant weather are parting
smile from old Daddy Time as he shoulders
his cycle and departs with the close of the
year.
This is the 9Th day of what is known
in all almanacs and calenders as winter.
But in this latitude and longitude there are
very few evidence of winters icy presence.
What the month of December may pro-
duce, however, before it closes, (besides
Christmas) nobody not versed in meterolog-
icsl science can safely predict. But, in
Zadkiel's Almanac, we find the following
comments and predictions for December,
1888: The closing weeks of this year will
be marked by much sickness and high rate
of mortality. Serious accidents will be
witnessed IN the north of England. Extra
precautions should be taken by colliery
managers against accidents. At the winter
sols,ce Mars eliminates and is stationary
at the same time. There will be trouble in
high places! The government will be per-
picked with the state of home and foreign
affairs, and the people will find it hard to
satisfy the demands Of the taX-gatherer. The
stationary position Of Mars is very evil for
the rulers Of Germany, Russia, Austria and
Italy. France, too, will feel the effects, and
Paris will be greatly disturbed. In Ireland
assassinations will be repeated. All person
whose, sun, moon or ascendant held the 22d
degree of Leo must avoid danger this
Christmas, or it will be a sorry period for
them. The 18th is good birthday ami
versary for those engaged in martial occu-
pstions. The Goth is an evil birthday. At
the latter half of the month Uranus passes
the 2Sth degree of Virgo, hence places ruled
by the following sign Uibrs) Austria and
China. particularly, will be visited with
trouble and misfortune.
About o'clock last evening young
white fellow walked up to one of the figures
in front of Mr.. A. MARKS store on Ohio
levee, deliberately divested 1t OF an over
coat worth about $15 and started of with
it or his arm. Mr.. Marx happened to be
sitting on the sidewalk not far away, and
though he had seen the fellow take the
coat, he recognized the garment as his own
and the possessor as a thief. he caught
the fellow by the arm and made him sur
render the coat and then releasing his
hold, the thief made a break for liberty,
running down Sixth street, up Roilroad
street and out Of sight.
Now we are importing eggs from Eu-
rope. About 1900 cases have been re-
ceived by New York parties, and arrange.
ments to receive consignments weekly
have been made. The eggs are received in
cases Of 1850 dozen each, and are forwarded
from all parts of Europe The champions
who hold up our infant industries by the
tail should do something for the American
hen. By the cheap labor of pauper hens in
Denmark, Germany and Italy, the great in
