The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-04-11

trate Comings for using offensive language
toward a negro tesmster, named Harry
| Wilson, who wanted to haul GlasOn S
vaise; and Wilson was fined the same for
abusing Glason for giving his valise to
another teamster to haul.
A new stage on wharfboat No. is IN
course Of construction. There is probably
more heavy hauling over the stages on the
wharfboats here than over those at any
other point on the river twice as large as
Cairo, hence the necessity of frequent re-
newals.
"A bill has passed the lower house Of
Congress to the effect that until 1886 trade
dollars shall be received at their face value
for all Government dues, but are not to be
issued by the Government, and after the
expiration of that time they are to be recoin-
ed into standard silver dollars.
Mr.. Thompson Bird is preparing to
again have his house moved back some
distance from the river bank at Birds
Point. The house has a good brick foun-
datiOn, but stands within few feet of the
river bank which will be cut away rapidly
as soon as the river shall have gone down a
few feet more. Another year or two Mr..
Birds fine orchard will suffer unless the
cutting is stopped in some way.
H. NJ. Sexton, young stranger with
more money than brains, was up before
Magistrate Comings for being drunk, After
paying his fine he displayed wad Of money
containing probably $3.50 and in maud
lin way boosted that he was no tramp,
etc. The court gave him some good advice
which he promised to take; but, though
sober, he talked like fool and probably
was one, by nature. Such fellows general
ly fall easy victims to designing loafers.
The down town sewers were opened
yesterday, but there was net much of an
exodus through them because the water
outside was SO nearly level with that in
the bottoms inside. The little check in
the rate OF fall here was due to the ST..
Louis rise of several days before which just
reached here. But the river is falling at
St. Louis aud the effect of the rise will
probably die away here during to-day after
which there is certain to be rapid decline
and speedy riddanCe of sipewater.
Now that the sipewater is going away
there ought to be preparation for grand
boom in the business of whitewashing or
the premises in the lower portions of the
city. The fences and outhouses that were
surrounded by water and bear the marks
thereof should all receive thick coating
of lime, not only as decoration but as
sanitary measure. Lime is cheap, so ar
;. brushes, and anybody can mix and hand
r them. There is no reason, therefore, 70
dirty board fences or barns or founda tio
i walls.
