The Robbins Show.

The till boards, windows and dead
walls in aud around Cairo are covered with
the bills which announce the coming OF
Burr Robbins circus, Aug. IS. Let Burr
come, for the children want to see the
elephant, and great many grown people
stand ready and willing to take the little
ones TO the show and see that the lions do
not eat them while there, but to pay their
way into the tent as we'll. Of course the
grown folks do not want to see the circus,
they simply want to show the little chill
dren the animals, including the elephant
and the behemot mentioned by Job.

Credit Due Mayor Wales.

Mayor Wales is entitled to great
credit for the moral advice he gave his
police force at the Sunday morning re-
view. He had been informed that
some of the members of the force were
in the habit of using profane language,
which he considered not only an i'm
moral but 4 very disgusting habit, and
in substance he said he would be very
glad if those who indulge in profanity
would at once hand in their resigna-
tions.
Some who heard this deserved and
sharp reproof expected to see several of
the force unbuckle their trappings and
hand them over to the Mayor for it is a
well known fact that several of the
force are highly accomplished i'll the art
of profanity. We say this in sorrow,
for there is nothing that so detracts
from the dignity Of man, especially a
public officer, than for him upon every
trivial annoyance to befoul the air
about him with vile curses and I'M
meaning but nevertheless disgusting
oaths. That this has been done is well
known, perhaps by none better than by
those who use such language, though
we are charitable enough to believe
| that those who use it do so without a
thought of the consequences or without
any intention of making themselves
disagreeable. 1t is an evil that at least
should be checked amongst policemen.
The members of the force that curse
and swear promiscuously and Tor
every trtiing cause lose the respect of
even others who are at times prOfane,
and thus in great measure detract
from their usefulness on the force.
Every good citizen will thank Mayor
Wales for his seasonable advice, and
none should thank him more than the
members of the force, for whom his ad.
vice was specially intended.
The Mayor could, with commend
able degree of propriety, have gone a
little farther and threatened with i'm
mediate dismissal from the force any
member who leaves his beat while in
