THE DAILY;

If your good fortun5out-wolghs your
misfortunes, you haro occasion to gWo
thanks. If your misfortunes out-weigh
your good fortune, you havo causo to give
thanks, in tho fact; that the matter is. no
worse. Few there 'are among us who are
not burdened with cares, beset with difli
cullies, and halted by obstacles in their
.. ' i . . .. .
pathway Wlilcn they llnd most Uilttcuit to
surmount. But it is indeed on unforlunata
creature, who, living in & world where
there is so much to enjoy, and so much to
make tho heart glad cai find nothingTor
which he fools grateful, If there bo any
such in Cairo, let them be objects of our
commisscration and prayer, for they will
deserve them. But enough. We couldn't
indulge in a homily on Thanksgiving, if
wo would; and wouldn't if we could so
sacred do wc hold tho domain ot the
preacher.
But the day is upon us. Give thanks.
Closo your stores and shops. Pile
up the fat things of lite wpoa
your tables, nnd by your presence and bear
ing make your homo happy. Go to church.
Pay attention to the ndmonitions of the
minister act the part of a respectable, ra
tional being, and on the morrow you will be
all tho better that you have observed
thanksgiving.

Miss Sarah Black, daughter of Mr. A.

She had lecn absent several months.
The snow fall of yesterday was one of
tho heaviest that has visited this country for
many years. Had tho ground been frozen,
instead of wet and sloppy, the snow would
have reached a depth of seven or eight in
ches.
Our fire bells giro out so many fu'se
alarms that citizens give but a sluggish re
sponse, until convinced that the alarm is
warranted. There is altogether too much
of the crying " wolf! wolf! when there is
no wolf."
-We are comparatively happy. We
have found a river editor who dot s not com

J. J. Stelzer, late of this city, finding

A wedding of some note is to come off

Tli! criminal, law and chancery dock

or four suits for divorce are entered, notice
of the pendency of one of which suits ap

the other cases are colored people. On the
criminal docket there is not a single case in
which the public take an interest.
At a late hour last night we learned
that the wife of Mr. Louis Petrie, living
near the box factory, was very seriously
burned. Mrs. P. was washing at the time
of the accident, having her back toward
the Are, when her dress caught from
the stove, and before the flumes could be ex
tinguished, she was very severely burned.
Owing to the lateness of the hour we were
unable to learn further particulars.
We can't charge it to the compositor.
There is no loop-hole through which to es
cape. We did it ourselves, and must and
do beg pardon. Without her knowledge
or consent we changed Miss Rogers, of the
Eleventh street primary school, into a Mits.
Rog"rs, and with a persistency quite exas
perating, used that unauthorized prefix
three several times. Why we did so, wc
have not tho remotest conception.
If dipt. W. P. Wright doesn't succeed
Col. MrKeaig in the Cairo post otllce, the
fict will not be ascribable to any want of
effort on tho part of tho captain's friends,
or any lack of endorsements as to his fitness
for the place, or a favorable expression of
sentiment on the part of the Cairo people.
The captain would make a very affablo and
obliging postmaster; ami no Republican in
Cairo has shown greater fidelity to party,
or walked within tho prescribed limits of
republicanism with greater exactness than
he has.
It sometimes happened, but not olten,
that the meeting of two or more youngsters,
yesterday, did not at onco provoko a snow
balling contest. For a period of two or
three hours scarcely a man, woman or child
passed the corner of Thirteenth and Wash
ington who did not get soundly thumped
with snow balls. A number of the attacked
parties resisted, a part of them endured the
attack like martyrs to tho pranks of child
hood, whilu others cut nnd run liko quarter
horses. Like ' sport," if it can lo called by
that name, formed part of tho day's pro
gramme in all parts ot the town.
Mrs. Towers, who resides on Thirteenth
street, mi t with un accident yesterday

While on her wny to market, tho heavy

umbrella with such forco as to precipitate
Ikt from the sidewalk. Her arm, at tho
wrist, was broken by tho fall, tho fracture
involving the wrist joint. Dr. V. It i'h
was called upon to attend to the caat',' set
the broken bones, nnd made the
sufferer as comfortablo ns possible. Tho
break is considered a bad one, and it will
bo several weeks before tho injured limb
can lo used again.
A lot of thoughtless lxys engaged ia
the cruel sport yesterday afternoon, of snow
balling tho harmless simpleton that bus
been seen upon our streets tot several
months past. Constable McAllister inter
fered, scattered the thoughtless young ruf
fians, and scared one of them out of a year's
growth, by taking him to tho gate of the
calalwose, avowing a purpose tho while, to
lock him up amonj the prisoners. Tho
youngsler lagged most piteously to be re
leased, and entered into covenants with Mr.
McAllister, which, if observed, will make a
vast improvement in his daily walks and
conduct.
The near approach of the day f xod for
tho Cairo postmaster's term of service toeud,
is excising theseveial applicants for that po
sition to active effort. Tus Ucxj.eti.n lias
no say, in the matter, although doen'y in-
teusted in the conduct of the office. As
letwecn C'apt Wright, Al. Slon, Everett
Munn. Col. McKeaig, Mr. C. N. HiHiea
and other avowed applicaalsfur the office we
have no choice at least none of so decided a
character as to authorize public mention.
The selection of any one of the gentlemen
named would meet tho general approval of
our people, and that, after all, should le
the controlling consideration.
The editors of the Puducah News aid
Sun are at it. ''hammer and tons," concern
ing the ut'i1;ly of the work in progress on
the Grand Chain. The News insipid that
the work ia producing obstructions fastT
than it removes them; that steamlioat pi'ots
express great dissatisfaction with tho plan
adopted, anil think that congress sliou'd be
petitioned to stop the work. The Sun en
ters a plea of getieml denia1, nnd suppoits
it with vigor, if not w ith effect. Tiik Bit
LFTix has great confidence in the prac :cal
common sense of Capt. Hil'. who is pe -
forming the work. The Captain has devot

the improvement is his own, it will be ve.y
apt to work out all the ends aimed at.
The fire bells rang out a noisy alarm
about 10 o'clock yesterday; and the news
Itiug abroad that the Rev. Mr. Shores'
church was on fire, a large crowd besides
the firemen, hurried in that direction, hop
ing to be able to render assistance in saving
the structure from destruction. Not until
scores of persons had waded through long
stretches of muddy streets, did it become
known that there was nocause for the alarm.
The women and children in the church saw
several flakes of soot sift down from the loft
along the stovepipe, and without making
any examination whatever, concluded that
fire had broken out between the roof and
ceiiing. The conclusion was wholly unwar
ranted, as not a shingle or plank of the
building had been even scorched by the
fire.
As Justus Cunningham hw been prac
ticing at the bar but a short time, the suc
cess that has attended his efforts is actually
wonderful. We are disposed to regard
much of his success to his strong voice.
When warmed up he can be distinctly
heard from the court house to the post of
fice; and don't tell us that the '"thunder
of eloquence" has no effect I Wc know bet
ter; else, why would Messrs. Linegar, Mul
key, Allen and other lawyers of great ubil-
ity roar like the bull of Bashan. Mr. Cun
ningham bus n market! advantage over any
of the gentlemen mimed, in the strength of
his lungs; and if an occasional roar on their
part is u good '.bing, tell us why a continu
ous roar on the part of Mr. Cunningham is
not a better thing. The courts like it, it is
effective with juries, and Mr. C. will con
tinue to supply it.
The Chicago Tribune, speaking of the
Humpty-Dumpty troupe that will appear in
Cuiro, for one night only, next Monday
evening, says that vast crowds collected to
witness the performance and the universal
verdict was that it was the best show of the
kind ever seen in Chicago. Continuing, the
Bame paper says: "Denier has embellished
and spiced the ever popular "Ilumpty
Dumpty" with new tricks and transforma
tions. The first act is devoted to tho fairy
opening and transformation to pantomimic
characters; the second act to a variety inter
lude, and the third and last to the quips and
pranks of Clown and pantaloon. Grimaldi
acted Clown with his well-known ability
and agility; J. C. Franklin ably assisted
him as Pantaloon, Wm. Eunice made a
lively Harlequin, Ada Boshcll a charming
Columbine, and Victoria North a most
queenly Fairy. In tho second act the vari
ety specialties included Venus and Adonis
who have got to bo quite a big boy and
girl since last seen here, in tuoir very ad
mirable velocipede act, and Venus in her
balancings on tho slack-wire; Miss Victoria
North, who, attired in a very tasteful cos
tume of white satin, sang serio-comic songs
charmingly; Lester nnd Williams, who, in
white faces, gave somo laughable songs and
dunces; Grimaldi, who did his celebrated
stilt act; Clifton and Fox, who performed
excellent feats upon triple horizontal bars;
Miss Motilton, who swung clubs skillfully;
and Cliaa. Diamond, also in white face, who
with his capital harp-accompanied songs
and dances. A feature of tho entertain
ment is tho exclusion of all negro business.

The corps of civil engineers appointed

The Reform Club ball was a pronounced
success in every particular. Despite the
pitchy darkness of the night, that enforced
our absence, the rooms were well filled, the
crowd embracing the leading ladies and
gentlemen of the city, nud quite all of the
young folks who usually give zest and eclat
to occasions of that character. The man
agement was unexceptionable, and during
the whole evening, there was not an occur
rence or a mishap that marred the festivities
fora single moment. It was, in short, the
most enjoyable re-union that has been held
in the city this season.
The following card which apN-ared in
the Cairo Sun Tuesday evening, is an ample
assuranc; that the Rev. Mr. George intended
to make no invidious distinction between
tho physicians of the city, und 'that he was
not, iu the remaiks ascribed to hi r.i, cor
rectly or fully reported. The card reads as
follows:
Editoii ok the St N: Your brief, and
necessarily inadequate report of the im
promptu remarks I made, by request of Dr.
Gordon, at the Arlington Saturday evening,
might be construed as implying a contrast
between the two physicians named and
others in Cairo. No such intimation was
made, and no such thought was in my
mind. I will go further, and say that it
would have been not only in bad taste, but
unjust to have limited to those two physi
cians the praise of professional fidelity.

Editor Cai no Bt ii.etin:
I noti :n the Cairo Evenhig Sun, of yes
terday, an extinct from a speech of Rev. B.
Y. George, made on the occasion of t!ic pre
sentation of a gold medal to Dr. J. J. Gor
don ot this city on Saturday evening last,
which says : ''Then; wen- two physicians j
who, hand in hand fearlessly visited the
sick and suffering, never refusing ut any
hour of the day or night to respond to any
and all calls for their services, until one
was stricken, and the other took the work
of lmth." Now does the Uev. gentleman
wish the public to understand that Cairo
can Ixiast of but two physicians who stixxl
nobly at their posts of duty, fearlessly vis
iting the sick and sulTering durinir our late
epidemic.
If so, he certainly has not taken the pains
to inform himself correctly on this subject.
But if he does not intend to convey tho idea
his words would imply, then ho has been
very unfortunate in his selection of words.
Any Btranger to tho facts would at onco in
fer that every other physician in our city
had cither fled at tho outbreak of tho
scourge amongst us, or positively refused to
respond to professional calls. There wcro
six or seven physicians besides the two
named, who remained in the city whilo the
yellow fever raged, and if any of them ever
refused to respond to calls for their service-,
I am happily ignorant of tho fact. But for
one of tho number I can vouch. Ono who
wont fearlessly and readily where
ever ho was called, und never re
fused, tinier any circumstances what
ever, to administer to tho sick and suf
fering, going at any hour of the day or
night, regardless of solf, without thought or
hopo of pecuniary reward, ami with tho
most untiring devotion, J many whoso
lives ho was instrumental In saving will at
test. I doubt not tltat other of our physici
ans huvo dono as nobly; but of this one
case I can speak freely, coming as it did
