The injury was so severe that Mr. Loin, even now, thuU locomotion most difficult. Tho dance at the Reform club rooms was ordinarily well attended last night, al though the participants, as is usual at till the hops given by tlio club, enjoyed them selves extraordinarily well. It is reported that Dr. J. C. Fisher, of Chicago, will arrive in Cairo, in a few days, to tako tho place of Dr. Kcyes, in the ma rine service here, Dr. K. having been as- siirncd to seivico elsewhere. Persons who are compelled to "pedet- trinate" extensively on Washington avcinio between Eighth and Ninth streets, will wel come the new sidewalk jut below Ninth. It displaces tho worst suction of sidewalk in the city. Tho E. 8. & L. S. held their meeting at the residence of Mrs. Hiley, lat evening, having chauged the programme as to the place of meeting. It would have been neighborly in "our neighbor" to have stated this fact. It was announced some time ago that the passenger trains of the Cain) aud Vin cennes road would stop at Ilarrisburg for meals, and not at Stonefort, as they have lone hitherto. The Harriuburg Chronicle says that Harrisburg "grubs" a few freight hands; "nary passeugior." The Murphysboro Era-Illiuoisan says. We hear Judge Mulkey favorably spoken of as a candidate for supremo judge. Judge Mulkey would certainly make au excellent supreme judc, and his opinions would command the respect and admiration of the ablest lawyers of our country." Tho boys and women who are seen .gathering up coal ulxjut the coal cats ou the levee, are not averse to levying occasional contribution -upon the can themselves. So very materially have cur loads of coal been diminished, during the present coal weath er, that tho owners of tho coul think of set ting a watch. The music for the Delta tlanco to-night, will lie furnished by Messrs. Uoicourt, Swobods, Bros, Heilcrt and Lentz, the last named gentleman using a tine new flute, presented to him as a birth-day gift. Tho music will bo of the choicest kind the gentleman named knowing exactly how to produce it. The efforts of Messrs. Strode, Pernio baker and Stewart to establish a Baptist Sabbath school in Cairo, have been crowned with a success that can scarcely fail to be gratifying, as well to tho Baptists of Cairo as to the gentlemen uamed. Tho school is an interesting one, and is in a really flour ishing condition. The yioleU that ventured to show themselves in the side yard of Mr. aud Mrs. Walters home, formed a bright, beautiful spectacle; but the present cold snap has ad monished them that they were a"loetle" too forward. There is a moral lesson covered by this floral experience, by which almost any of us might profit. Aa not one white man in 5,000,000 ever attains the ago of 105 years, and aa a great many coloied men no reach that age, we took it for granted, on hearing the facts we published in connection with the name of Enoch Raines, that ho was a colored man. He is a white man, it is said, as well in the color of his politics find character, as in the color of his cuticle. Since the C. & V. company haa already incurred four-fifths of tho expense, why not incur the other fifth, and establish a street railway, ssy from tho company's freight headquarters on Fourth street, to Twentieth, and thence along Twentieth to the court house. It would be a big thing for the papers to talk about, aud, during court time, if not at all times, would bo self-sustaining. Sometime during Tuesday night, a thief, who had one or more confederates at hand, effected an entrance into Fred. Tich nian's tobacco store, and carried away to- Ijhcco and smoker's goods of tho value of $25 or $30. It is thought that the sumo burglars ransacked Ince's gun shop, who lost goods of about the samo value as those lost by Tichman. The rascals had not, up to yesterday evening, been arrested. We give below a list of the officers of the Cairo commandery, installed Monday evening, with interesting aud impressive public ceremonies, via : Eminent Comman der, Sir Charles W.

Any person is entirely welcome to a copy; but it was not intended that they should Iw given out by the dozen copies to children who hixa no earthly use for them Mr. Henry Clav Sexton, chief of the St. f.'xiis lire department, having been in viled to deliver a lecture before tho Cairo l'el'oi in club, has signified a w illingness to accept the invitation. Although for vears at the head of a tiro department, where the temptations to "indulge'' were strong and numerous, .Mr. Sexton never tasted a dro a liquor in his life, never took u chew of tobacco' or smoked a pipe or ciirar. It is only the fewest of men can say us much We can't truthfully do it ourselves. The time for Mr. S. s lecture is not yet fixed. Miles Parker's restaurant is eligibly situated, particularly if it be desirable to be thrown in contact with every trump who visits Cairo. The mayor's office is next door to Miles, and as all the tramps call ou his honor, fully nine-tenths of them avail themselves of the eligible opportunity pre sented to do a little in the way of begging. If it were not utterly impossible to disturb the equanimity of Miles' temper, we might expect to be called upon, some of these 3 ays, to describe a large and varied assort ment of animated kicking. Only a few days more, and the man who isashamed if caught carrying home a beef-steak or n quart of dried beans, will bo seen as a great moving pyramid of different sized bundles, hobby-horses, sleighs, dolls, toy locomotives, drums, trumpets aud jump-ing-jacks, to say nothing of the sixteen pound turkey, arm-load of celery, and string of flopping fish that can't be left behind be cause "the man" might change Vin on him.'' Thus far St. Nicholas saith truly; but the addition that such a human puck-mule "will feel proud and look happy," is an ob servation that must pass without our in doi'scuicnt. Wc would impress upon the minds of our readers, und especially those who are interested in the maintenance of our Cairo fire companies, that the grand holiday ball of the Delta City company, conies off in the elegant hall of their engine house, this evening. A large string band has boon em ployed; the several committees have been assigned to active duty, and a good time is a.ssured to all who may participate. An oyster supp'.-r will be served, so that those w ho tlo not dance, can drop in, secure a plate of soup or a dozen raw, at a nominal price, and thus contribute their mite to help the Deltas. No company has a stronger claim upon the support of our citizens. Let that claim be recognized to-night by a large luru out. Our neighboring exchanges have so mixed recent ruilroad changes and transac tions that it is a difficult matter to separate them. One of them has it that the C, & V. company has purchased tho Danville d; I'aducuh road; another that the Wabash company bus purchased the C. & V., and a third that the C. & V. has "gobbled in" the D. aud P. road, with a view of secur ing a more dirct route to Chicago. It is our understanding that no sales or trans fers have taken place; but that negotiations aro landing between the l'aris, Danville & Chicago ami the C. & V. companies, where by the fatter by the construction of a short line, will open up a new and direct route between Cairo ami Chicago. How much truth there is in tho report given out through a late number of the Vineennes Sun, that the two companies last named, and the Yincrnnes and Indiunnimlis com pany would effect a grand junc- junction of their roads ut Lawrenceville, and erect union car shops, hotels, etc., ut that place, we are unable to say; aud wo take it that the companies interested don't caro to tell. It has, for years, been a matter of sur prise with observing men, why Cairo has not been made one of tbo leuding grain markets in the country. The location of the place, in the center of tlio best corn growing country in America, with rivers and railroads so permeating aud ramifying that country that every farm is almost within sight of cheap and ample means of transportation, the only thing lacking to build up a grain market here that would stand second to Chicago only, is the thing that is most easily supplied, to-wit; plenty of money. And now, after so long a time, thu leading men of tho country begin to open their eyes to Cairo's udvantages in that respect, and wo are strong in the hope that something will come of the awakening. Mr. J. C. Clarke, vice-president of tho Chi cago, St. Louis and New Orleans railroad company, is not ignoraut of Cairo's advan tages as a point for the establishment of a gr.-at grain market, and, in replying to a suggestion mado by F. Donohuo & Co., of Now Orlouus, that Mr. Clarke's railroad emu nnny establish a great corn market at connection with n barge lino to New Orlouus, employs tlio following lan guage : "There is uow at Cairo an olovator callable of handling 25,000 bushels daily from rail to river; this elevator Is in good running order, and operated by tho Halli day Bros, I don't suppose there would be any dilllcully in shipping grain from ('aim to New Orleans if there was river tonnage to meet the demands at that point, und tho parties engaged In tho buying made a mar ket nt Caiio. There arc but few, if any farmers who send their grain to Chicago-or other markets ou their own account, but it is sold to dealers ut the various railroad stations from which tho grain is shipped. If these dealers have their financial arrange ments with New Orleans' houses, to furnish them the umoiiut ut money ncccssury to handle, the grain, I have no doubt a largo amount of it would probably find its way to a New Orleans market." A mass meeting of the Democratic vo ters of Ballard county was held in Bland ville, hist Monday, for tho purpose of indi cating the choice of the Ballard Democra cy, for thu ollices to be tilled by the election next slimmer. The meeting declared that its first and only choice for Governor of Kentucky, is Dr. Luke P. Blackburn; first choicoforLieut.Gov. T, II. Corbett; sec ond choice, II. A. Tyler; first choice for Auditor, Fuyctt Hewitt, socond choice, J. P. Mickols; for Supeiinteiidenu of Public Instructions, Z. P. Smith; for Attorney General, T. E. Moss; for Register of the Land Oilice, W. L. Vories; for State Treas urer, J. W. Tale. Mr. W. M. Coffee was chairman of the convention, and Mr, W, W. Jenkins, Secretary. Tho convention was comjKjsed of good, substantial citizens; and although the matter is one in which our Illinois people feel no direct concern, the expression of preference given wil 'en wiltdiave lure counii considerable weight in tho future of the Kentucky Democracy. The Massac Journal is disposed to as cril)c to the improved tone of Cairo morals to Republican ascendancy in Cairo, As all our peace conservators, with a single excep tion, ure Democrats, the Journal's solution of the matter, won't do. The gratifying change is due to the enforced good conduct of the Republicans. They have been taught by experience that, before the law, they are no better than Democrats; and seeing Demo crats filling the ofiicts of shcriif, marshal, and coroner, and noting as constables and policemen, they kuow that, to a dead moral certainty, if they olfend, they will be punished. Our former full jails, and Alexander county's heavy con tributions to the penitentiary, have taught them this lesson, ami they are profiting iy it. It took our Democratic ofhciuls it lung while to teach the IL-publicitn element this saluturv truth. But full juils ami striped ;armctiu finally enforced conviction, and now, in point of good behavior, it is difficult to tell a Republican from a Democrat. --Harry Taylor und Dive Harper, two colored roust-abouts, were arrested by offi cer Axley and Wilson, yesterday, and taken before Judge Bird, on a charge of carrying concealed weaxms. Tbo churge was sus tained, nnd a line of twenty-Jive dollars und cost was imposed upon each of them. Of course, although they were provided with means to tuke the life of others on the smallest provocation, or nono at ail, they were entirely destitute of means to preserve their own liberty. They were cslaboosed for '.''J days. (1 Khl citi.'iis will commend the hiliiction of this punishment, h-urti!y. Three-fourths of the homicides committed now-a-days, are chargeable, not so much to the depraved and bloody-minded character of our people, as to tlie circiimstauee tnat one oi the parties to the trouble huppm to have a knife or pistol directly at his hand. Break up this practice; punish every man found with a weapon concealed alsmt his person to the full extent of the law, and the number of homicides that uow so fre quently appal the people, will ut once be lessened fully 80 tv.-r cent. Barton, of the Carlxmdale Free Press, seems to think a soup house, for the feed ing of tramps, would be n pretty good thing, as well in an economic as a humane view of things, lie is mistaken. It would serve ns a magnet to draw to Carliondale all tho tramps within a circle of a hundred miles; and what a blessing they'd be when once collected I Wc have urged the policy of close-fisted niggardliness, in dealing with, the trump nuisance- no food to healthy tramps, uud none to any kind whose breath may Ihi perfumed with whisky; and, al though the policy has only been partially adopted, it has had a most salutary effect. If any considerable portion of the vaga bonds would accept work when tendered to them, our charity would be of a broader kind; but not more than one in twenty-five will work, at any price. Only a few days ago, a levee man had work lor fifteen men. He offered twenty cents an hour, and to test the disposition of the tramp, ho tried every one he could find during the day. Ho ad dressed more than fifty of them. Five out of six absolutely and pointedly refused the work; a few pretended that work was just what they wauted; but at night, ono hour's work had been performed by one tramp, uud tho gentleman had more trouble in set tling for that hour s work than for nil the work performed by tho balance of his force. Givo them soup, and you encourage thu presence of a nuisance, aa ungrateful as it is generally abominable. Tiikv say business is dull; sugar aud cof fee aro selling slowly.
