Sam. Howles, editor ef tho Springfield

but ho rise ubovo the temptation. Ho
refuses to bo mayor.
A telf.orau informs tbo public that
toveral deaths from (mall-pox havo re
cently occurred atCarlinvllle, that "some
'twelve or flftoon cases nro now
'down and tho diseaso reportod on
'tho increase" Tbo disease will cotno
wandering down through Cairo in a few
weeks, if but what's tho uso of talk,?
Our folks don't care. SmalWpox can't
frighten thorn; and tho council hat u
weakness for it.
Says tho 'Sun,' Cairo and Alcxandor
county havo pro.yeethtly lost largtly in
tbo proposod Issue of $0,000,000 of stock,
"Prospoctivo loss," is good. A loss to bo
lost is a loss wo nro at a lots to compre
hend. Tbo 'Sun' intondod to say that
$5,000,000 of stock were too much to pay
for the road. So much stock for so small
h road will ronder tho county's and city's
portion of that stock of liltlo value. Vi'o
don't know this, and tbo 'Sun' don't. 'o
boliovo tbis stock will bo valuable Hut
tho city and county whon they eubscrllol
didn't caro whether thoy got any stock for
tho bonds they voted. Thoy wero willing
to irr $100,000 bonds each for the rail
road. Thoy did givo abaolutoly gavo
away 535,000 oach to tho Cairo and Yin
cennci road, and tho 'Sun' has no word of
regret.
Our pooplo, says tho 'Sun,' loso bocauso
the Cairo and 8t. Louis railroad was not
commenced at this end. This is beg
ging tho question. "Wo asked the 'Sun' to
point to ono cent tho ;f nfr of tho city or
county had lost, and tho 'Sun' replies In
cOoct : Cunningham has lost, unci Par
sons, Davis & Co.'haro lost, bociuso tho
i old was cot built from Cairo to Murpliyi
boro boforo it was finished from St. Louis
to Murphysboro." Vory true ; and tho
road thould havo been commenced at this
ond ; but no contractor could bo found
who would consent to build tbis end
of tho road tlrst. Tho company was
charterod eovon or eight years ago, find
Cunningham lost many a dimo bocauio
the road was not completed sovon years
ago; llallldav Bros, aro losing many
dollars becauso tho Cnlro nnd Tcnnosseo
Kivor road is not finiehoJ, ami wo havo
ell lost money becauso tho fifty roads
wbich will center boro in n fow years
wore not complotcd a century ago. To
say that Cairo and Aloxnndor county
bavo lost money becauso tho building of
tho road was not commenced at this end
and because it was not completed three
months or six yoari ago is almost as funny
an assertion as to say, a tho 'Sun' doot,
that they havo "lost money pros
pectively" bocauso It has boon pro
posed to hsuo $6,000,000 of stock.
'Tiijc pcoplo havo lost by tho
promise of a narrow guago road instead of
a broad guage road," says tho 'Sun.' In
our opinion tho promise of a broad guae
would b about as valueless as tbo
promiso of a narrow gutgo. Hut the 'Sun'
means that a broad guage road Is more do
slrablo than a narrow guage road, and that,
whon tho pooplo subscribed, they bollovt-d
they would got a broad guago road. Thfy
did so beliovo,but they subscribsi in aid of
a road not of a broad or of a narrow
guage road ; and whon Col. Taylor, and
Moisrs. "V. J. Allon, and D. Hurd ascer
tained that a broad guago coulJ not bo re
cured, thoy agrood to lake a narrow guago,
and the city und county consenod to tho
chango. Did the county lose a cor.t by rea
son of thocbango? Uow much 1 If any
thing, the difference between the value of
the narrow gauge und a broad gauge in
the transaction of tbo business of tho city
and couity. If tho narrow gauge will
do tho business of tho city and county its
wU at a broad gauge it will be of as nmtU
value to the people. Tbis is a question
that cannot bo decided until tho road has
been tried. We don't want tho 'Sun' to
tell us what It thinks tho oily and county
will lose, but what it knows thoy havo
lost.
A LOUD CALL.
There is a well-founded rumor in tho
city that llev.U. 11. Thayer, of tho First
Presbyterian church, bat received n very
pressing invitation to visit an important
church in one of our western c!tio, and
preach with a vlow of becoming it)
pastor. Tho salary offered him is 2,000,
to bo Increased to $3,000 aftor tbo Crst
year. In addition to what had boen pre
viously received, a telegram reached Mr.
Thayer at lato ai 1 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon in rogard to tho matter, and ask
ing an immediato response. Last evening
Mr. Tuayor Lad not telefraphod his rc-
"W ra euro Mr. Tbayor'i congregation,
and ih citUeui who know bita well,
would regret his deporturo from Cairo.
Socially ho Is popular, and his church
mombori, who havo llitenod to lilm Sun

Wo had mournod him for lost both to

ho had winged his cplritual flight to Den

Ing shore. Wo wero plunged into tho

SEXLESS HUMAN 11E1NGS.
Sclcnco is becoming impudent. Having
thrown down and destroyod the popular
understanding of tho Mosaic account of
tho croatloc nnd tho Grand-father Adam
tradition ; having displayod to human in
vostlgation tho mysteries of the earth, uir
nnd skioi ; having given to tho world util
ized steam nnd electricity, Sciunco is now
seeking now worlds to conquer. It- is
ubout to mako electricity tho servant of
man, his laborer ni well ns his errand boy,
and it is contemplating giving to tho earth
a soxless ordor of human beings.' A sciont
ill writing to tho Now York 'Graphic'
says tbcro is nn ovident deslro in tho pub
lic mind to get rid of tho obligations nnd
duties imposed by thu division of mankind
into mon and women only.
"Thoro are," says this scientist, "scores
of women who strongly dlillV:o the fact of
tholr sex, and would gladly belong, were
it possible, to n soxless order of beings.
Now. why should not scionco abolish sox
at will I Wo aro already nblo to produce
roses of any color wo choose, to chango
tho llavor nnd shnpo of strawberries, nnd
to control to somo extent stock-raising, so
as to produco buch animals as wo may de

among tho human bolngs, which, boing
frcod from tbo trammel which tox Im
poses upon us, snail bo nblo
to do tbo labor that tho world
needs, prccisoly as tho sexless drones do
tbo labor of thohivo? I am engaged In
tudying and experimenting in connec
tion with tho subject, not without hopes
of success. 1 n m suro of tho co-operation of
tho strong-mlndod womon who nro at
onco ashamed and angry bocauso thoy aro
womon, and who would gladly become ep
icono woro it possible. Of courso a sufli
cient numbor of men and womon would
bo desirable in ordor to perpetuate tho
race, but 1 inn porsuadod that If a sexless
ordor of human boings could bo producod
tho world would havo nn army of workers
such as it has never known." Wo wish
this philanthropist success in hit great un
dertaking. If ho should In his experi
ments deilro n specimen of tho peculiar
boing ho Is desirous of creating, ho can
find u perfect ono In this city, Tho editor
of tho 'Sun' it not a woman, and thoso
who know him best do not for a momont
suspect him of being a tr.un. Uo is there
