Alderman Itlttcnhouse hit a heavy
blow at a growing evil when hu Intro
duced Into the Council and had adopted
thu following resolution :
lUsotccd. That, hcrealter. the City
Council will recognlA! no bills presented
for payment, unless they havo first been
ordered by the City Comptroller or Clerk
and vouched lor by the chairman of the
committee of tho 'department for which
such services and supplies aro needed.
The Intention of till resolution i to
permit no otllcer of the city but the
Comptroller or Clerk to make bills,
:md of course the Comptroller or Clerk
can order nothing that ho Is not author
1cd by ordinance to order.
Clly officers have been In tho habit
of ordering little things sucli as gas tlx
turcs for police headquarters, publication
ot notices of assessment, collln, Ac.
without authority, and having the thing
charged to tho city. The Council, at its
last meeting, properly referred back all
such bills to the olllccr making the order
lor payment. If otlleers may, without an
order irom the Council, order work done
and buy articles for the city, the Council
might as well adjourn iir. tltc and per
mit the otlleers to take control of the
treasury, Such a dangerous .prac
tice was growing up, but the Council saw
It floating in the air and lias nipped It in
the bud.
Tho City Council ot Cairo pray
Judge Treat for an order upon thu Re
ceivers of the Cairo A Vlncennes railroad
requiring them to comply with thu ordl
nance granting said road right of way on
Commercial i7enue, andothcrordlnances
of the city. If Judge-Treat himself wero
guilty of Infringing, an ordinance of thu
city it would bo the duty of the city au
thorities to havo him adequately pun
ished ; but the council petitions him to
compel his receivers to not do what ho
himself would not dare do. Why don't
tho oftlccrs of the city arrest the Hecciv
crs, if they refuse to obey tho ordinances
of tho city Aro they afraid ol Judge
Treat? When did ho put ou a crown, and
become supericr to law ?
At tho last meeting ol tho City Coun
cil, Alderman Lancaster offered and se
cured thu adoption of tho following :
llrsolved. That tho Cltv Attorney bo In
structed to allow no side track or switch
put down on Commercial Avenue, be
tween Second and" Thlrty-lourth streets ;
and should It bo necessary to prevent
the same, that hu obtain an imjunctlouat
once.
Upon motion of Alderman Halllday
the voto by which this was adopted was
reconsidered, when Aldurman Lancaster
ollcred the following as a substitute :
llciulvcd. That should any persons or
corporation attempt violation of Sec. 11
ordinance 101, the City Attorney be and
ho Is hereby instructed to tauo sucn im
mediate legal steps to prevent- such vio
lation as shall lu his Judgement scent
necessary.
Thu Mayor is indignant because of
the action of tho dog-killers, and ho pro
poses to raise it disturbance with tliciu.
He says they aro hi tho habit or letting
dogs out of thu yards of citizens' and then
killing them, a hnblt which In Ills lion-

attempt to go to sleep, he commences to

lie does not bark lu different tones, but
th2 last hark lu the morning Is precisely
like the first bark at 10 o'clock at night.
He does not bnrk rapidly for live min
utes, nnd then stop live minutes,
but gives us a steady-going hark
every three seconds. He barks a second,
stops throe seconds and then barks again
all night, lie has made us lnanc three
or four times. Therefore his death wo

At a special meeting of tho Cairo St.
Patrick's Hencroleiit Society, the follow
ing resolutions were adopted, viz :
Wiieiif.as. it has nleascd Almlcbtv
Ood to remove from our midst, by tho
unsparing hand of death, our. worthy
and beloved brother Liiwrrnee J. Hvrnn ;
therefore be It
lloohtil. That while hendlmr in heart
felt submission to the wavs of the Al
mighty, we nro led to hope that our do-
parted brother his found a place In
heaven, through the mercy of God.
lUfolvol, That by his death thlsSocletv
has lost one ofitsmo-t faithful and devo
ted members : who-c whole oblect was
thu welfare and propagation of tho Cairo
St. Patrick's Hcncvoleiit Society, and
who-c culdlmr star has always been dc-
votedncss to his now widownnd orphans,
duty to God, frk.'iidsiiln. unity and true
Christian charity to hi brother mcmliers
mul leiiow-men.
Itttolttd. That to the family of our de
ceased brother wo extend our deepest
sympathy, and while we know that tnelr
loss on eartn is irreparable inueeu, tnoy
have at least the consoling hope that he
has gone to a better aail happier world.
llaoleed, That a copy of tho foregoing
resolutions be presented to the family of
thu deceased, and entered at large on the
minutes of this Society, nnd also puli

from tlih tilnco to at. Louis, n distance
of one hundred and tlfty miles,
I the largest narrow gauge
road In this country, If not In
the wtlrld. The gauge Is three feet and
tho road has been In successful operation
for the past three years, without an acci
dent of Importance. The cars and rolling
stock nre llrst-elass. Engines weigh six
teen tons and easily draw twenty freight
cars, carrying fight tons each, over ordi
nary grade. The passenger coaches will
seat thirty-live or forty people, are fully
equal to nny 1 have seen In the East, and
nro the most, comfortable, except the
Pullman cars. I over rodu on. I have
been over tho road at a rate of thirty
miles an hour and considered myself as
sare as II I was on the "Eastern It. H.'
The cost of the road was about two
thirds the cost of the ordinary road, and
Its success being so fully assured, a com
pany Is being organized to extend the
"little toy road" (as some ot Its enemies
call It,) to Memphis and Vlcksburg lu
the South, and to Savannah hi the South
east. The total expense ol running our
little road since it began business has
been only fifty-eight per cent, of Its gross
earnings. Wo can Imagine the result
when well established, and bettor Mine
prevail. It has already reduced the lo
cal freights one-half, nnd local fares
great deal In fact the narrow gauge
roads are. a success loyond all question ;
ami i am pleased to learn thai the peo
ple of Lynn have taken such an interest
in the "little toy" which will ply be-
twecn!Lynn and tlio"IIub." I will close
with regards to all my old friends, who,
though left behind, are not forgotten.

Cairo, where, for the past six years, I
have made my home, contrary to thu ex
pectation ol many of my friends, who
had an itlea that Cairo was such
"o unhealthy place, that onu could not
live ncro iw dm,, 8v months. Few.

a our expen-e, as Cairo has been feir-
fully abused by people ho. uastim.
through, lost no time In commenting
on our peculiarities, without glw us
due credit for our many natural advan
tages.
People in general, from what they ha ye
heard and read, have an idea that Cairo
Is a dirty, swampy, unintelligent city,
w here only thelves and gamblers find em
ployment; but a .short visit will counter
act all such Impressions, and, instead,
they wili;tlnd a thrling,wcil-bullt,clean,
well-governed city, whose people are
Intelligent, wide awake and industrious.
The climate Is unsurpassed for salu
brity, and thu healthfulness of its Inhab
itants cannot be excelled. There was a
time, however, before tho swamps were
cleared, before the leyecs were con
structed, and before the dead and dying
cottonwood, sycamore and other trees
gave way to tine streets and buildings,
that Cairo, like all other river bottom
towns, was unhealthy. Cairo dates its
existence from 18.l,"wiien the llrst lots
were sold and thu llrst improvements
commenced, and to-day has a population
of about 10,000, divided about equally
between foreigners, negroes and Ameri
cans. The country about Cairo, lu Illi
nois, Kentucky mid Missouri, Is of the
most fertllu and productive character; all
the agricultural products of tho North,
and many products of tho South, includ
ing tobacco, cotton, hump, llax nnd sweet
potato, aru yielded in great abundance,
and largu quantities of every variety of
fruit are annually shipped from this
neighborhood. Strawberries havo been
gone for two weeks, nnd peaches are be
ginning to make their appearance.
Of our schools wu aro proud ; wo are
credited throughout thu State with un
surpassed educational facilities in our
publlu schools. Our churches aro nu
merous and well nttmdcd. I am often
asked If Cairo olfors .my Inducement to
capitalists to invest, and to all I would
say, y. Every inducement that could
bo desired, except capital itself. The
Cairo City Property Co. will assist, as
far as donating land is concerned, all

our very door; and a market North,
South, East and West, with seven rail
roads and over live thousand miles of
river communication to carry our wares
to every part of thu country. Speaking
about railroads, reminds mo ol tho fact
that Lynn Is -soon to connect with lloston
by it narrow gauge road. I also see by
Lynn papers that there seems to be a
distrust In the minds of somu as to tho
practicability and safety of tho narrow
gauge roads, and perhaps a word In this
connection would not be out of place.

The river last evening was '.id feet on
the gauge, having risen 10 1-3 inches du
ring tho previous 'Jl hours. The reports
from the Ohio and tributaries aru ills,
eouraging; the Kanawha. Licking, Ken
tucky, Ulg Sandy, Wabash, and
Cumberland rivers aro at Hood
height, and carrying tilings before them,
On the 13th thu Licking was 10 feet high
er than the Ohio, and the floating eleva
tor of Gordon & McClure at Cincinnati
landing,'contalnhig 30,000 bushels of coal,
was sunk by a floating tree. The loss by
tho freshet "is estimated at 20,000. The
swell lu the Ulir Sandy swamped tho
sto.tmer Sam. Cravens, at Catlettshttrg,
Kentucky. The Thomson Hotel and
a dwelling house were swept
away, and the Sherman House
and several dwellings were mo-.
mentarilyexpectciUogo. At Louisa, Ken-1
tucky, thu Sandy was reported to feet
thP mid rising. From St. Louis and
above reports are mote r.
Mississippi lias commenced to decline
and no water is reported above to check
it. At Cincinnati, up to !1 o'clock p.m.,
according to the signal olllce report, the
river rose 10 feet I inches during 2 1 hours.
IJdt at Nashville a risu of 0 inches only
was reported.

The proposed moonlight excur.-Ion
on the Idlewild to Columbus and return
on Saturday evening next Is the talk ol

trip.
The tow boat Ike has been supplied
with the water circulating lire bed llucr
patented by Capt. Funis, of this city,
which docs away with the use of brick lu
the furnace, and will, It Is said, prove a
great fuel saver and will not burn out.
The furnace of the Uee is a very hot
place, and if Capt. Farrls' liner proves a
success there It can stand anything.
The ldlewlld will come through to
day to receive the Ohio river freight of

from New Orleans. Tho Dean will no
doubt reshlp her St. Louis freight nlso,
and go'to Mound City to havo her guards

the Fall cotton trade, providing sho has
not changed owners, as was reported yesterday.
