Cattle Thieves.

For courage and skill in footing cattle
no race OF scoundrels can make a show
with the Marris and, other jewellers on
the frontier OF Sindh. Theingenuity OF
these people is almost unc inny They
have knowledge of the bovine charac-
ter well worth scientific attention, and
they use it in con junction with study
OF human frailties which is equally
minute. The simplest of their processes
is to cut through the stable wall-cattle
are always stabbed in country so per-
ilous for them and lead out the ami
mails. Two or three boys are intrusted
with business of this kind, and they
are expected t. succeed, though. it be
needful to make the oxen step over o
watchers body. At one of our posts
the commissariat cattle were lodged in
walled Enclosure which contained sew
eral masses of ruin. Every morning the
tale OF beasts was short. In vain the
distracted go-naster applied for more
ssentries and more frequent rounds. At
length. by mere accident, the secret OF
the nightly disappearance came out.
Thieves had tunneled under the wall,
shielding either exit behind ruins. Such
engineering work is familiar to people
who, conduct water underground from
the spring TO the place where. it is
wanted. But to induce half-wild cattle
to descend a steep incline, pitch dark,
hot'as aiurnace nearly. and that with
out making suspicious sound, requires
either arts unholy or such influence as
one would like to observe in action. =

Bad Manners in Parliament.

There was time when manners were
very bad in the English Parliament, but
this was when Parliament had not estab-
tablished its supremacy, and it is worth
remarking that manners improved from
the time when Parliament grew SUI
preme, and when it came to be recog-
nized that this supremacy could only be
maintained il on many great questions
both parties acted in concert. Pepvs,
writing ON the 10Th of December, 1866,
describes queer scene which he wit
messed in the House of Lords: ..My
Lord buckingham, leaning rudely over
my Lord Marquis Dorchester, my Lord
Dorchester removed his elbow. The
Duke asked whether he was uneasy.
Dorchester replied yes, and that the
Duke burst not do this if he were any
where else. 2 Buckingham replied, yes,
he would, and thathe were a better man
than himself. - Dorchester said that he
lied. With this Buckingham struck Of
his hat, took him by his periwigg, and
pulled il, aside and held him. There
is nothing SO bad as thisSin the Parlia-
meRtary annals of the GEORGIAN er:i.
Chatham is said to- have been more
feared than any orator of his time, but
his inyective was carefully measured
Speaking of Newcastle, then Prime
Minister, he once asked whether Parlia-
ment sat only to register the edicts OF
one too-powerful subject. Hereupon
Newcastle is reported to, have been
frightened almost out of his wits. But
this was fair fighting There was no
imputation on Chatham part of ignoble
motives; he simply accused his adversary
OF the splendid sin of ambition, ..,itng
gOuf Parliamentary history abounds
with encounters of This sort, in which
the thrusts delivered, whether in earnest
or in Jest, were often heard, but always
bestowed according TO fair rules, and
with an absence of that implacable AMI.
mus which leaves combatants enemies
when the fight is over. Everybody
knows the story of Sir Robert Walpole
having dispute with Pultney about q
quotation from Horace The Minister
bet guinea that his own version was
right; Horace was sent for. and Sir
Robert proving tolsbe in the wrong,
threw down gSinea, which PultRey
pocketed with the remark that it was
the only money ever paid blythe Min
lister which a member could accept
without shame. The words were not in
the best taste, perhaps; but how English
the whole thing was, and how Suggestive
of goOd-humored sparring with the
gloves on!-Lo1ldon Times. ~

The usual menthly Missionary Mass
Meeting of the Baptists Of this city
was held at the First Baptist church
last night. In addition to the regular
pastors there vac in attendance an
English gentleman who has passed
eight years in Africa as missionary
OF the English Board. His account
of the progress he made with the
natives was both amusing and instFpc.
i've. At the cloge Of his remarks he
sang q song in the language which he
has almost learned TO call his own,
from the fact that he has become so
accustomed to using it that it is as
familiar to him as the English. BE
tween the remarks Of tho different
speakers excellent music was furnished
by the choir under the leadership Of
Prof. Hughes, A collection was
taken for missionary work In our own
city, and a very neat sum was realized.

The Argus Is doggedly silent about
the election didn't have word to say
about any Of the candidates yesterday, ex'
cept what was paid for. The Argus has
very bad case of weak back and we sug-
gest Poor mans" plaster as a means OF
relief, The BULLETIN asked it to tell Its
readers aud the public whether it favored
Mr.. Halliday as candidate for mayor at to-
days election, aud instead of answering
the very civil question as it merted, the
Argus snapped at us like mad dog and
refused to answer at all intelligently. The
BULLETIN asked it again and this time its
request is CONTEMPORARY ignored. All
right, you unamiable little dodger; try as
much asyou will to hide your deplorable
lack Of moral courage 10 stubborn silence,
the public will yet penetrate your guize.
Probablyit Is none Of our business what
the Argus thinks about Mr.. Halliday IS
mayor; and, come to think Of it seriously
now, perhaps we shouldn't have asked the
question But We did think i, was the
publiCs business "a ittle--and for ourself.
we only just wanted to know, you know. We
thought that the readers Of the Argus and
the public might be just the least bit curl
Gus to know what the Argus thought of so
important matter as the mayoraIty OF the
city--feel just ashadow OF interest aud its
opinion--perhaps even have some respect
for such opinion and feel inclined to be
guided by 1t toa very small extent, But
now, after sober second thought, we confess
the utter toolishuess Of the idea. The Ar.
gus itself very evidently believes that i,s
readers and the public don't care cont.
nentaldam for It's opinion on matters Of
great public Importance and have DO bus,-
ness to care, aud, Of course, the Argus
itself ought to know, YOU know.

THE NAN WE WANT AND THE MAN
WEDONT WANT.

The election of to-day will give character
to the city government for the next two
years. The mayor five aldermen,
city treasurer, and city clerk are to be
chosen, and there is q good man IN the field
for each Office. 1t is important that good
men shall be placed in all these positions,
out it is most important that the first
named office shall be held by superior
man.
No direct issue is made in this election,
Of any important question of public policy;
but the general good Of the city is at stake
and several very weghty matters that have
been pending for some time still await ad-
justment, and the interests of the communi-
ty at large demand that, with reference to
them, there shall be no change OF policy
on the part Of the city government, so that
the verdict pronounced by the voters oi
Cairo, at the election of year ago, may
be fully carried into effect.
As rule, the mayor of city gives char
acters to its government, and if he is not
q ninny, direction, also, either for better or
for worse. Hence, 10 order that the gov
ernment of Cairo may be one rejecting
credit upon the people and directed by
wisdom always IN the channel Of the great
est good for the greatest number, it is
necessary that it shall be characterized by
good judgment, deliberatioD, economy,
energy, progress, tact; it is necessary that
Cairos executive officer shall be man of
executive ability, an honest, sober, intelii'
gent man; man of enough brain power to
think for himself and conclude for himself;
a man of good judgment, not rash fool; a
progressive man of broad views, who can be
guided in every act by the interests of the
city at large, both present and future, not
q one ideaed municipal Rip-Van- Wrinkle,
the victim of narrow, factional and indi.
vidual prejudices; we want man of stable
character, reliable and respectable, not a
political demagogue, whose word is chat,
whose every act will be dictated by his own
pecuninary interests or those Of u stubborn,
misguided few, aud whose leading charac'
teristics are, an ability to accommodate
himself to all shades of public opinion on
short notice and an undying hankering after
Office. We want man who combines all
the good qualities mentioned and many
others, and such man is to-day before the
public in the person of Mr.. Thomas W. Hal
liday.
