We beseech him to write right along. Mrs. Y. H. Wilcox owns 8,000 or 0,000 peach trees, all of which would have come into full b-aring this year. She will be more fortunate than nhe expects to be, if she gathers a wagon load from the whole orchard. The attendance at tho Reform room Sunday night was unusually large. Miss Willurd. the speaker, came up to the expec tations, even of those who expected most. She is gaining an enviable reputation aa a public speaker. A box car loaded with household plunder, and standing In the I. C. U. R. yard, was broken into before daylight Sun day morning, and sundry articles carried away. A car loaded with wheat was also broken open. John Gladney requests us to say that he collected $8.85 for Shelby, the sick man; bought him food, medicine and fuel with npartion of the money and paid the balance into the sick man's hands all of which was very kind in Gladney. Three ot the candidates for City Clerk told us yesterday, each, in his turn, to mark his prediction. The prediction was that he was tis sure to be elected ns the sun was to go down on the evening of election day. The candidate who pooh, pool is the idea that there was any doubt about his election didn't call around. A negro man, with a leg swolen to the size of his body, almost, is hobbling about tho city, obtaining his food and lodging wherever he can, He says he is a river man, received his injuries in the service, and although entitled to admission to the hospital, he wan refused. There is another side to this story, undoubtedly; but be hat as it may, tho poor fellow ought to be cared for. Grave fears are entertained for the safety of the peach crop. It is believed that the earlier which nre the best varieties, arc entirely cut off. In some localities the buds were on the point of bursting into bloom. Many of the pluin trees were white with full-blown blossoms. A snow storm would have wrought no serious conse quences; but a sleety rain-fall and freeze, have, it is believed, worked general havoc. From this time forth until the new Cir cuit Judges are elected, Judge Dougherty will fill the bench in Alexander county. At a recent conference between him nnd Judges Crawford and darker. Judge Dougherty was assigned the Counties of Union, Alex ander, Puhbki and Franklin. Judge II.tr kerbas been assigned the comities of John- sin Massfic, Hardin, and, conjointly with Judge Crawford, Pope county. Judge Crawford takes the other counties of the circuit. Some time ago we publicly appealed to tlie overseer ot the poor to increiisi! the allowance to old "aunt" Han Lee and Bill, tromone dollar and a quarter a week to two und a half. The allowance was promptly increased to two dollars per week, but we did not learn the fact until recently. While coarse edibles bread, meat and vegetables, can b" bought al present low pi iees, the wret.-.hed old creatures need no! suffer, lu ll a-. I, after living for many months oil' of $l,2", the sum of $2 will furnish them tin ,Mtui!--.nt Mlillnililw,fi We hear rumors to the effect that 11 walking match will soon come oil' in Cairo. Wo have quite a number of gentlemen in the city who enti rtain no doubt of tle-ir ability to vvidk a hundred miles in Iwenly fotir hours, Wc have quite a number of other gentlemen who tire equally confident that the first mimed gentlemen can do no such thing; and these diametrically oppo site, convictions threat n to eventuate in it walking "match ugalnst time." Tlie ru mor that Professor William Lee will under take to walk a fourth of a mile in four days lacks confirmation. A colored man named James Shelby, occupying a room in the old Baiungard rookery, was taken down with a congestive chill, six or eight days ago, and being pen niless when taken sick, hits suffered alika for medicines and attention ever nince. The condition of the poor man becoming known to constable Gladney, that kind hearted in dividual went upon tho streets, and by so liciting small contributions succeeded in raising several dollarsenough to supply him with such medicines and nourishment M lei limy tined, am) to h -juru lor him thn attention of u nur -. It was a very proper and humane thing for John Glad ney to do. Last August little Johnny SeliuekeiH fell down and slightly punctured th.- palm of Ins hand. He eouiHainud of tin pain th'i cut inflicted, hut it seemed so trining. that Lut little attention wim pu'nl toitaad it soon healed over. Last wck he re-, newed his complaints insisted that thn hand hurt him, und his mother, feeling a hard lump under the idun, applitd 11 poul tice. The lump soon festered, and on Sunday the festered portion gavo out a piece ol window glass about an eighth of nn inch wide and over threc-qnnrters of an inch Inur! The little fellow had curried it in his hand about seven mouths. A colored b:y i.amod Rock, landing on Commercial near Twentieth street, 011 Sunday, saw an intoxicated IrishmaiMicross the way, committing a nuNunce, (. Being visibly cxhilerated himself the colored boy hove a brick at the Irishman. Tim progress of the brick was arrested by the Irishmana back, whereupon, ho gave voice to several profane expressions, nildressed to no one in particular; but the negro taking it all upon himself, crossed the way, knocked the Irishman down and gave him a sound thumping. For nil of which Mr. Rock was fined by Squire O.sborn. yesterday morning, tho sum of live dollars, and, of course, the official requisites. Little Ida, youngest daughter of Squire Thomas Martain, of (loose Island, met with a mishap, Saturday, that caused her death on Sunday. The little girl accompanied her father to the orchard, and Mr. Martain noticing a patch of dry grass applied a match to it, and then proceeded to his work of pruning his fruit trees. He had pursued this work but a short time when ho heard the scream of his child, and looking around saw her enveloped in flames. Her cloth ing had taken tire from the burning grass, and before he could reach her, her clothing had burned from her body and fairly cooked her limbs and a portion of her body. The little creature suffered indescribable agonies for about 2 t hours when death kindly came to its relief. The child was about five years old. A crowd of negroes gathered in the Fifth ward, Sunday, and it was not long lie fore four or five of them became tangled up in a promiscuous fist fight. Just how the mat ter terminated wo didn't learn, except that nobody was seriously hurt. Two of the lookers-on, ufter peace was restored com menced boasting ot their pugilistic abilities, each one claiming that be was the best man of his inches in the burg. Of course the other fellow was not of the same opinion, and it was ar ranged on the spot that the diff-reiice of opinion should be settled by a fight accord ing to the rules ot the prize ring. But the the impatience of the fistic chumpions fpoiled "the fun." Insisting thut the con flict should come off right then and there, an officer happened along, nnd much to the chagrin and disappointment of the crowd, the wou'.d-be prize fighters were taken un der arrest, and tin; beastly exhibition didn't come off. 1 One ot the most impudent confidence chap? that visit (,'uiro. was hero it day or two ao. His name is Maje. He hid gathered a groiipe of greenies about him, near the corner of Mth nnd Poplar, and had the only man in the crowd who had uny money about him,.in a terrible state of xcitciuciit so completely taken in that he was cuger to bet $51) on the strap trick. Just at this juncture an ofli-cr put in an appearance, which B.-emcd to discomfit Maje greatly: "P it," he i-xcl-tiined. "Why didn't you stay away ten minute longer ? 1 had this greeny on r.r. hvok, and in ten minutes, yes two minute? more Id pulled him in for fifty dollars;" but you "That's enough, icjoin.'d the oflleer 1 gu -ss 1 will "pull you 111 lor aiiout me ; same amount, unless you g-:t out of this ; h0Wn tostay, within the space of one hour. Then divesting the cheeky fellow of his straps and other confidence accoutrements he started him, and true- to his promise. Maje immediately got out of the city.

Hut nine and clloii n .ces-arv 10 produce such a result, are so ineousid -iiiSic that no good citizen will hesitate oin- nlll. met to take the one and expend the ode r. Should it occur, however, that we tire mis. taken in this, and good citizens do h'-sitnti-, then other good citizens will sustain Mr. Wootenifhe applies a little vvhtilesoia,. ctdiiptilsiou. The yards, outhouses, cellars, etc., "denuded" of their trash am liastiii'ss, a libera1 use of the whitewash brush, und it copious sprinkling of llnie or copperas should follow. And lo oueniinig,. this work the city should provide a Mm-lt of lime and copperas, that nil who do not able to buy supplies, can be furnished gratuitously. In '.his way the di-iiil'eetnn!s would he used where most, needed, Another desirable result would follow, in the n.--r:il use of the same disinfectant. Last yi .u- one mm) used copperas, another used coal tu,.( ;l third carbolic acid, a fourth sone thin,rp,,,, and n',1 being of a vo!ailij nature, th , jv. ingsolT the whole lot met and mingled, und to what extent they neutralized each other wo arc not prepared to say; but this we can say, that experience has shown cop peras and coal tar to bo the best.the most dur able and the cheapest disinfectants known, and it would be foolish, not to say hazard ous, to experiment in the hope of finding something better. Let the cleansing process k on, then; let the city furnish lime to those who will use it in whitewashing their fences and out houses, and copperas for dis infecting purposes to those who are unable lo buy it. These suggestions acted upon, promptly and generally, and by the first day of May we will have the cleanest and healthiest city in the I'nited States. We wili then yield to a feding of security, and look forward to the I10L days of the sum hut hop Ttiliy with a convictio-i that we have erected a mor If rtive barri-r against the approach of cpid -inics than would he afforded by a cordon of at ni -d lien. Isn't such an end worthy the trilling expense ami labor required to bring it about Let tlie experience of last summer, answrr. It is quite u fortunate thing for tic colored people thems"lve-i that their pecu liar habits of magnifying mere peccadil loes into great crimes, and suspicious of wrong doing intostartling Inrnrs. is under stood. Were it not generally understood, they would be continually talking one an other into trouble. On Saturday la-d a col ored man named Gwinn called upon Mrs. Ross, also colored, and gave her a very an imated, "able-bodied" cursing. Mrs. Ress sued, and Squire Osborn fined (i v. inn five dollars and cost. Prior to the tiial and dur ing its progress , the topie of dis cussion among colored spectators was the sudden death, a few nights before, of Mrs. Ross' little step-child. It was alleged that the woman declared she'd "choke the day lights out of the brat before it w.-t-sa week older, for she 'expised' it anyho.v." A woman who was in some manner related to to the child, declared that the very night tho child died, she dreamed that a two horse team came dashing down that very street and fairly brushing her dress as she jumped out of the way, it ran directly over two or three children, and scattered their arms, heads ami log, toes, fingers and teeth, all along tlic street to Commercial avenue; and "how could I dreamed that way," in quired the superstitious creature, "if that child wasn't choked to d-ath ?" A third declared that ho heard the woman say she had put the little devil where it would quit wearing the life out of her; and still another had heard threats and confes sions that pointed rather directly to a case of murder. The Squi re living caught most of this conversa tion felt quite confident that 1m was going to ferret out a case of murder. Happily he had got together the witnesses that would establish at least a stiong probability of guilt; and he at once shaped his qii"s',ions to that end, putting nearly all those who had been talking the matter over, under oath. And right then and there he learned, if he hadn't learned it before, that negroes are wonderful panic-makers, horror lovers and sensationalists. While all of them lied, wit', out any compunction ofconsciei.ee. in talking the matter over tee tlier, none of ih -m would repeat th--ir statements under oath. And thus were the Squire's hopes of tUM-nsthing a murder, suddenly d:s:ipa !:!, diish-.-d down i:;;d "don 1 for."

To these privileges the railroads are , mdebted to Cairo and its 1',-op-i ty Trustees, solely. For the millions of pounds f 1 freight that are received and forwarded, and the thousands of passengers that take the ears here annually, the roads are indebt ed partly to Cairo, nnd partly to the country north, sooth, cast ami west of us. This business and travel render ('aim the most important station between Chicago and i'W' Orleans. These facts standing con fessed, is it any wonder that the citiz-n ms well as tho stranger should express sur prise thet the railroad companies concerned have: not erected depot buildings, offices and repair shops here, in keeping with Urn magnitude of their business, instead of contenting themselves with the present wretched, gloomy, con tracted structures, (ho liku of which can bo found in no other city of even half tho bus iness Importance of, Cairo, in the United Blittes?

One of the candidates for a ci'y ofiicc called upon a colored preacher, the ntherday, and avowed hiins-lf honored by the ac quaintance ; deeply interested ill the welfare of the colored race, and as ever ready to lend a helping hand in every scheme that looked to their moral and mental elevation. Then spake the colored niinit.ter substan tially thus: "You and I, sir, have lived in this city many years tyg'-th'T. The honor of my acquaintance, which you profess to prize, could have b- i-n enjoyed by you hmt; ago. low happens it you postponed the cnjoym'-nt of that great honor until the eve of anel-'clion in which you are a can didate. Y'ou say you are a fri.-n 1 of the colored race. Have you been procl.-iimine-that fact by word or deed th -s- many years, or is it a new born friendship awak ened on the ev : of an election, in view of the negro's right to vote? You say you have always been ready to lend a helping hand to the colored man that he may rise men tally und morally? Let me s'-e! The brethren, wanted to build a church They appealed to the white peoplemore than a hundred put down their n tmes sum", of them for five and some for t.-n dollars.

A colored church was enclosed a fair was determin ed upn to raise money to build a pulpit and seats--filty dollars was rn-ed'-d toget up the fair. The colored people again appeal ed to their white friends for 2") cent contributions-. Aft'-r more than a hundred had given their quarters, oil were waited upon. In an irritated tone you declared vor who had never given the colored people adini" that the "blamed niggers nr.-always beg- ging. and I 11111 going to shut down on that j thing right now," and turning on your hec : you went away.
