There is in the air these mornings a
faint suggestiveness of frost. We forget
the Sweltering period just past and look
forward to the melancholy days that fill the
air with haze, paint the forests red and cool
off the Republican corpse for burial. There's
good time coming, and THE BULLETIN
will grow in grace and good works till the
political and journalistic millennium is
| reached.
Capt Hiram Hill with his force of
men and machinery has mastered the Mis-.
sissippi river current At Birds Point and is
making good Roadway in the work of max
ing the Texas and st. Louis incline firm
against the action of the water. For
while the water seemed to have the upper
hand against the work that was being done.
1t is thought that the incline will be ready
for use again in week or ten days.
The current number of the st. Louis
Leather Gazette protests agains. the barbed
wire fence as an enemy to the leather
dealer. The ground taken is the curious
one that the barbs scratch the skin of the
living cattle until it is valueless for leather,
the dry hides, in the language OF the Ga
zette, looking like war map or an illus
tratiOn of the burnt district after the Chi.
cago fire." The matter will be called to
the attention of the cattle convention to be
held in this city.
Mr.. Mathew Walsh, tho new agent OF
the Iron Mountain road here, arrived yes
terday from st. Louis, to prepare to take
charge of his Office here He is not quite
we'll and will probably "lay off" for a day
or two. 1t is understood that he will take
charge on the 30th instant, and that efforts
are being made to secure front room on
the first floor Of one of Mr.. Neff's new
buildings on Ohio levee, for the offices.
Whether there will be any change in the
persoLel of the Iron Mountain Office after
Mr.. Walsh shall have taken charge, is not
yet determined.
The annual fall invasion of America by
a countless horde of actors and singers
from the etfete monarchies of Europe has
begun, and soon they will be devastating
our cities as the grasshoppers were wont to
CLEAN the grain.tields of the Northwest.
Why is there not laid upon this pauper
talent of the Old World tariff sufficiently
high to protect our infant theatrical in
,dustries? True, Booth, Mary Anderson,
Lolita, Barrett, DAILY and a few others from
this side are now, or have been, across the
ocean on reprisal expeditions, but the bal
ance of histrionic trade is largely against
US, and we insist that Blaine and Logan be-
gin at once the building of that Chinese
wall Of protection around the fifteen or
twenty million free born citizens and citi-
zenesses of the United States who would
stalk upon the stage at once, were the pro-
tecting wing Of the American policy" ex-
tended over them.
There was an unusually large attend
and at the Methodist church Sunday night
to hear the farewell sermon of Rev. J. A.
Scarritt, who left yesterday for Carlinville,
to attend the Methodist conference in sas-
sion there. In the course of his sermon
Mr. Scarrtt stated the following interest.
ing facts about the church, the pastors and
the congregation; as per the Argus of last
evening: "During his remarks he stated
that this church had been in existence in
Cairo about 20 years, and in all that time
it never had been without regularly ap-
pointed pastor. During those 30 years, as
much as people abroad have to say about
the sickliness of Cairo, not single pastor
or pastors wife had died here. Mr.. Scar
rift was here in '5S when the water came
| in. The church at that time was mission
charge, and about $3.50 was about all the
money he aud Mr.. Linkinfslter, who was
his assistant at Mound City, got for their
pay. 1t was the hardest year financially,
he ever experienced in his pastoral work.
1t was due to the people now to say that
the past year had been marked by the best
