The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1884-11-21

aad before he had fairly recovered from
the strain on his physical or nervous sys-
TEN he was invited to the Waverly to pro-
nounce the ceremony that doubles the joys
and divides the sorrows of John c. CriCe
and Miss Csllie Rich, Of Blandville, Ky.
We are promised very novel enter
tanment tomorrow evening at the opera
house. "rhe Adamless Eden" being the
extremely appropriate name selected for
the opera, and inasmuch as the male sex
are religiously excluded from the perform
ancc Che stage, not the audience) it is safe
to say there will be no mistakes or breaks
in the presentation Of the play. The street
parade by the ladies of the company Satur-
day afternoon is among the numerous at
fractions offered. 1t should take place and
doubtless will, before the "Wild West"
gates are open.
1t is said she minstrels always drawn
in Cairo" and the show last night WAS not
an exception, The house WAS fair and the
entertainment above the average. The
music was good, and the singing paricu-
larly fine. There was, Of course, few
thread-bare jokes, bu. they were sand
wiched with so many good things that were
new and original that the audience could
not complain or object to them. The fun
ny men were excruciatlngly 80 and the
FLATS as u,ual, dreadfully "soggy," but
the show can be classei among the best on
the road.
we learn from Geo. w. Corliss, who
came up on the City of Providence, that
Hickman, KY, was partially destroyed by
fire Wednesday night. A grand ratifca
ton jubilee was in progress and the pro-
cession was forming about o'clock when
a stray sky rocket set fire to the furniture
factory. From the factory the fire spread
to the railroad depot and warehouse, tee
graph Office, lumber yards and dwellings,
in the vicinity, and was still burning and
spreading when the steamer left there The
whole town from the elevator up was in
fair way to be destroyed.
WILD WEST tomorrow brings to Cairo |
two men of worldwide Ieputation-W. +. |
Cody and Capt Bogardus. Captain
Bagsrdus offers to bet thous-
and dollars to a hundred that no one can
beat his record or defeat him in a match
with the shot gun. The Captains record
is an enviabe one, he having shot 100
birds in 100 successive shots, and many
other performances of like wonderful ma
lure. He has family of four sons who
nave all inherited his talent in shooting.
Hon. W. f. Cody, Buff.lo Bill,i albeit
If such warliGe fame, is in his social capac-
ty "as mild a hammered man as ever cut
throat or scuttled ship" Mr.. Cody
las been in turn scout, Indian fighter,
1rmy guide, buffalo hunter, legislator and
ctor, and has won for himself fame in ev-
ry one of the various occupations which
le has pursued.
Blaine is not yet done claiming. He
discounts the Thichborn claimant. In his
asst speech he claims that one-ffth of the
southern states electoral vote belongs to
llm because as it now stands the colored
men of the south have no representation in
the electoral college. He might have gone
farther and said the democrats of Illinois |
and Ohio and other republican states, and |
the republicans of New York, Indiana,
New Jersey and Connecticut have no rep
rcseutation in the electoral college. One
claim is about as reasonable as the other.
To read his speech one is forced to the
conclusion that he is worse man even
than the independent republican papers
pictured him during the csmpaign-that
he would not hesitate if it were in his pow.
er, to revive all the dead and gone issues of
twenty years ago and plunge the country
into another civil war, if by doing 30 it
would benefit Blaine.
