Koehler, brother of Fred, return ed home, yesterday, from St. Louis, where he had been under treatment of n physician ever since last fall. About fifty or one hundred loads of trash, fruit cans, bottles, and rubbish of every kind-the fruit of our clcauing-up, have been dumped beyond the levee, below the city. It is harmless trash, however. Subject of sermon at the M. E. church next Sunday morning "The Resurcction of j Christ." Subject in the evening: "Tern- perance." Temperance people und anti terrperancc people are invited. Seats free. Several gentlemen, carried away by the prevailing election excitement, are not paying due respect to their red ribbons; but they will come around all right again every one of them after the election is over. 'Good Friday," was observed by sev eral of our citizens, yesterday, conspicuous among whom were Messrs. Ivoeler it Co., boss coopers, who shut up their shop, and permitted their employes to enjoy a day of recreation. $300 deposited with Alex.

Proof, Warren, ot Evanville, who is making a short stay iu the city, will add the charm of the skillfully executed music of his cornet to that -of the Episcopal choir to-morrow an attraction that will add largely to the crowd that will assemble there. Tim Jouesboro Gazette, of to-day, speaking of Hon. .lohn M. l.ansden's candi dacy for the Circuit Judgeship says: "Mr. Lansdeii is one of the. most brilliant mem bers of the bar in Southern Illinois; a gen tleman of ii rcproachabh' character and ster ling integrity." An election, to chof.se a school trustee, will be held at the Arab engine house, to day.

Washburn, of Marion, a Democratic candidate for the oflicc of Circuit Judge, was In Cairo, yesterday, looking after his interests, etc. Mr. W. is a gentleman whose "walk and conversa tion" would quickly commend him to the friendship of Cairo people. Call and see Mr. M. E. McCammon's new Meat Protector, in his shop, comer of Nineteenth and Poplar. The choice beef ami pork, veal and mutton, kept for sale in (piantities to suit customers, are never touched by the foot of a single rly, or any other insect. Drop in and see. A little rumpus occurred in a down town gabion kept by a colored man, yes terday, in which a colored man named Shad struck another named lt'jbinson with a poker. The blow was received on the arm, ami was not, therefore, a serious one. Shad was arrested by constable Gladney. Tom Dalton, at one time an engineer on the Cairo and St. Louis railroad, claims that he made the best time ever made be tween those two cities. He made the trip in six hours and four minutes, which, al though not extraordinary time, is beyond doubt the best that was ever made. Mr. Dalton is now engaged ou the Iron Mountain road. The claim of the Jonc.sboro Gazette, that 1,000,000,000 feet of lumber in log Khape, have been stolen from the lands of the Illinois Central railroad company in Alexander and Union counties, and sold to convenient saw mills, or stolen direct by the saw mills, is no doubt a great exagger ation, as to quantity. The editor probably intended to say 10,000,000 feet. A distressing accident occurred on the Iron Mountain railroad, on Thursday last, near Ludlow station, by which Howard Hendricks, who was conductor of the train and who was riding on the engine at the time, was instantly killed. The locomotive struck a steer and was thrown from the track and into a ditch where it alighted upside down, crushing Mr. H. in such a manner as to result in his instant death -A gentleman who arrived in the city yesterday, furnished us the details of uu af fair that has convulsed the socialtcirclcs of the town of Mt.

A largo and elegant display of newly trimmed and stylish hats w ill be the chief attraction of Mrs. S. Williamson's "Spring Opening" to-day, to-morrow and Saturday. The ladies of the city are cordiully invited to come and inspect the assortment, as the variety includes something adapted to all tastes. Quite a respectable crowd gathered at the Reform club room, last night, notwith standing the attractions elsewhere. Mat ters were given an excellent start by eight persons going forward, putting down their names as members of the club, and taking the red ribbon. Very pleasant speeches were then made by President Williams Ex-President Barclay and others, and, at an e.tvly hour, the meeting adjourned. Itisimpossibleforsome men to look be yond their immediate surroundings. We have un exemplification of this in the anx iety to bet even largely, on the success of certain candidates, for no other conceivable reason, but the fact that their immediate neighbors will vote far them. It these parties would step out of their immediate circle they would discover that nine men out of every ten are hostile to the very men upou whose election they feel inclined to stake all they have or can borrow. The married ladies of the city are be coming deeply interestctl in the election, and some of them in their efforts to intluenee the colored sovreigns, are trying the potency of second hand-clothing. One gentle man, whose wife is deeply interested in the result, declares that if the election should happen to be postponed another week, he would have doubts about his abil ity to retain, a single pair of breeches! They would all go in the purchase of vot ers. We heattilv welcome''Ilusticia'' among our corps of correspondents, and shall feel inclined to insist upon a fulfillment of her promise to write regularly. Her items are put in very readable shape: and we can say of her manuscript what we can say of the manuscript of but one correspondent in a score that it calls for no revision; but can safely be handed to the compositor precise ly as written, without the addition, change or abbreviation of a single point, word or letter. End Whilcamp owns a cow that gave biith to a calf, about two weeks ago, that was perfect in every particular except in the fact that it had no eyes no cavity for eyes, or any visible organs of sight. Ap prehending that the stock with which the cal! was pastured would cripple or kill the sightless creature, Whitcamp knocked it on the head. Apiece from this was a calf that clumped home one day with one of Pctrie's cows. lis hoof's wen; not cloven, but pre cisely like those of a mule. The case under the civil rights law between one Dr. McArthur and ('apt. Tay lorofthe steamer Fisk. came on for a prelim inary hearing, yesterday, before Commis sioner Candee. The cause of the complaint is this, that Capt. Taylor, taking or mistak ing Dr. McArthur for a negro, would not permit him to occupy a seat at the general table. Dr. McArthur is of a complexion that would, in the opinion of nine persons out of t"n, justify Cuptain Taylor's conclusion; but the Doctor claims that he is of Scotch Spanish extraction and has not a drop a negro blood in bis reins. The case wasublv argued, and at its con clusion Commissioner Candee held Capt. T. iu bonds of $100 to answer the U. S. District Court. We have, in the iminens'! dagoes, now moved by single tow boat, an indication of what will be done in the carrying trade, when the great Northwest, under the touch of brain-directed industry, is giving up, even a tithe of the grains and fruits which her wonderful soil is capable of producing. The steamer Gilntore landed in New Orleans, on Tuesday last, from four barges, the fol lowing immense consignment : HOS'I sacks of oats. 77'.'0 sacks ot corn. ."41.s sacks of bran, 70,500 bushels of bulk corn ; IJO.OOO bushels of rye, 7'!H() sacks of oil cakes, to say nothing of over a thousand barrels of flour and a vast bulk mid weight of other articles produced by the soil and industry of thu upper portion of the Mississippi valley. Many of the readers of Tiik Hci, 1,1:1 in will recall the difliculty that occurred a couple of years ago between one Jack Me- Nainee, and Dr. Barnes, the then Superin tendent ofllie S. I. asylum. McNaimi. iSldj. sequently shot his wife and then, in her presence, killed himself. From a cin um stancc that occurred in Anna, a few .lavs ago, it would seem that the blnody mitul edness that impelled Jn,. t self-murder, runs in the family. The Jouesboro Gazette, of to-dny, says that nbout 0 o'clock, yesterday morning, Mrs. Hathaway, sister of Jack Mi:Nama(. .slip ped through a window into the restaurant kept by her husband, intending to kill him; but Mr. H. being out, she pushed i,.,, 1ir hair, and placing the muzzle of the pistol she held in her hund, directly ngaimif R.r temple, tire 1 and fell dead in hi t tracks The youngsters ol tho city , M1,)U. lariz.ing a new game.

One youngster whom we saw yesterday, had at least a pint of mixed pins. The excitement over a game waxes very warm nt times; and as an in dulgence in such pastime has a demoraliz ing effect, to say nothing of the heavy levies that are made upon family pin cush ions, it might lie well lor the parents of the city to declare the game "contraband" of good morals, and sec to it that it forms no part ol their little buys' pastime. -Captain Boyton was greeted by crowds of people along the entire route to Mem phis. The banks of the river on either side were fairly alive with curious, eager humanity, watching out for his coming; and at night time great bonfires blazed upon the banks at intervals of a mile or two, in the expectation that the wonderful navigator would bring himself within their glare. At Columbus a large crowd gathered, and as the Captain neared the wharf a brass band struck up "Hail to the Chief," as a signal of welcome, But the Cuptain merely answered by elevating his our, and giving a blast or two ou his trum pet. The current being rapid he soon shot out of sight, leaving the Culunibusitcs, and especially people who had ridden miles to see the show, somewhat out of humor over the response given to their proffered honors and hospitalities. The interest that has been maintained in the cause of temperance in Cairo, and the zeal and success that has characterized the efforts to maintain the reform organization in our our midst, are quite as wonderful as tin y are gratifying. When the movement was inaugurated among us, it was thought, even by those who were most active in for warding it, that it would prove a mere wave of enthusiasm that would find its level in a few months, leaving here and there, in the reformed condition ot a citizen, a pleasant reminder of what had been. But the enthusiasm has not died out. Dull and prosy and thread bare as temperance speeches are held to be, no occasion, having a moral tendency, calls out such rousing crowds of men and women, a. the an nouncement that somebody, citizen or out sider, known or unknown, is booked for a temperance speech. This condition of af fairs, a year and 11 half after th? organiza tion the club, in a ti.wn like Cairo where the opportunities und temptations to drink, are more numerous than almost anywhere else in the country, is certain ly a most surprising result -made none the less so by the remark that h-s than t"n per cent of the five hundred persons who signed the pledge at the start, have re turned to their cups and lives of dissipation. We are somewhat at a loss for an explana tion of this a result that ha no counter part in the history of any other club of which we have any knowledge. '1 he zeal and devotion of the ladies their frequent lunches and re-unions, and the maintenance of the reading room, have been wonderful helps have kept scon s in line who. other wise would have fallen by the wayside; but there are teasons anil agencies at work be sides these.

Liilleliii: Dkak Sik: Please allow me a short space in your inestimable paper to correct some mistakes that "Practical" in your issue of the 10th instant, is evidently tailor ing under. To begin with, "Beatrice" did not intend by her "moralizing half cynical tirade," (as "Practical" chooses to term it) on the Despotism of Fashion, that appeared in your columns, to insinuate that the lady readers of Tiik Bi 1.1. Ki ts arc composed ex clusively or even largely of the class much given to fashioinble follies. Now, while "Be atrice" is willing and glad to give all honor In the noble and sensibly dressed ladies who larg'dy compose the society ot our Mult eity, still it is quite impossible for her to attend the house of (iod - or evening's en tertainment, or even to stay at home and look out of her window, without see ing very much in the way iif fashionable absurdities of dress, to deplore. It is this class that she w ould "cry aloud" to and not to the blessed women who have striven and are still striving to bring about the sorely needed reform in dress, nor to the poor hard working class who could not, if they would, indulge in fashionable extrava gances. "Again "Practical" takes exception to the proposition of "Beatrice" "that, women cease to clamor for the rights of woman suirrage and devote tuWe of their time and talents in making war against Ihe gigantic and almost oinnipotuni tyrant Fashion;" and asks, "does this 'Beatrice' of ours know that the very women who clamor the loudest nnd strive the hardest for woman suffrage have brought about Hiid establish ed the dress reform movement here as else where if .'Beatrice' my be aware of this fact und Is perfectly willing to give all 'honor to whom honor is due' hut nevertheless she begs leave to whisper in 'Praetical's' ear that it is 'Beatrice's' opinion" (and she re peats it wilh ull tint! deference lo those noble workers) that had those very same 'strong-minded women" have taken upturn against the fashionable monstrosity of dress and fought nnd labored zealously for dress reform alone unconnected with the duestion of woman sutTr.i'je they might hav necm,; 1 pUshed a great deal more in this large field for labor than they have already done might even by this time have brought about such a general and decided reform in dress thnt men, generally speaking, would have regarded them as a class some thing better than mere insipid dolls of Fashion whose highest ambition is to be petted and carresscd and allowed to spend all the money they want, clothe themselves in the height of fashion and pass their time in the pursuit of selfish gratification; and men having formed a higher estimate of women would conse quently have been more ready to have ac corded to her the right of suffrage when the time was ripe for them to claim it. One thing more, my dear Practical, and I have done. You say you would give your best hut to know how this modern 'Beatrice' "spends her time, dresses her hair and per son." You shall know without the forfeit. "Beatrice" spends most of her time in look ing after her household, trying to train her children, doing such small good for her fellow creatures, as she, in her human weakness may be able to accomplish; never neglecting to try to sow good seed wherever she may find ground sufficient for so doing, leaving the result to a higher power, in short living up to uku highest conceptions of liht. In regard as to how she dresses hair, suffice it to say that she docs not wear it "banned" nor neither docs she dress her per-oii with dresses which trail a yard or more ou ihe Ihs.r or climr to her form with a clotness xsitive!y in delicate, drawn back bv some strange at tachment behind, which fetters every move ment.

So there, now ! Pclhaps the bread-eaters who read Till, lit 11.KTIN w ill be glad to know that the wheat fields in Pulaski county are growing beautifully u'reen and give promi;e of over flowing granaries. Ten years ago one could see only an occasional wheat field in this county ;uow such fields ur"to In- found on every farm running all the w ay from the five acre lot which the owner cuts with his cradle." ii. to tic three or four hundred acres, harvested with the latest improved machinery. In this viciui'y more attention is .aid to the growing of small Iruits and vegetable than ever before, though such things tire not the staples as at Villa Bulge. lb-pair on fences and building, with here and there a new house or liani. may be seen from one end of the county to the other. This indicati s a cessation of the "hard tinv"" we have heard so much of in the past. Can it be that we arc on the vc of the "good times" so long hoped fot ? Here in town one of our citizens is ad ding n stylish front to his residence, whilt others ure furbishing up with paint and whitewash. The hotel, which is quite roomy house, has not escaped the vernal renovation. Spring hats and calicoes l.rightcmd uj our stores two or three week ago. On Monday of last week, the fiftieth birth day of the Bartleson twins, William and Robert, was celebrated by a family reunion at the In. use of William, which is charm ingly situated at Grand Chain Landing on the Ohio. There were present six brothers with their wives, and two sisters and their husbands, together with a large number of children and grand children belonging to the several families. One brother in Mis sour ami another in Kansas, were unable to attend. The twins, who arc quite grey, still resemble each other su much that their friends often mistake one for the other. I have been told that their mother was often unable to distinguish them, even after they were grown. This large family came to this neighbor hood when the country was covered by dense forests, only broken by jiii occasional path which led to some pioneer's cubin, and while enduring privations incidental to life in a new country, all lived to reach the age of manhood and womanhood. It was then twenty miles to the nearest doctor, which may possibly account for this longevity. Then, too, they grew up useful and honored citizens, and loyal as well, judging from the l' t thai emht of them served in the Federal army during the late war. .ViimM.r ui,,,, preferred watching the conllict from his fireside, having had a stir 1'eit of military jjiory Mexican battle Bel'ls, upon one of which his father lost Ins life. , Prof. Crawford closed his schiol at Ihis nlace on U ftltliiUl1liV fit ti.i week.

But since the Professor's late pupils dwell nmid rural scenes, they put in the time pretty much after the manner of Mr. N'orvul, Jr., feeding their father's flocks on the hills, when they are not burning off meadows, taking the meul sack to mill, going to the blacksmith's, piling up wood, chunking up the holes iu the fences, in the vain effort to keep the neighbor's everlast ing pigs out of the potuto patch ; plowing a little, chasing the chickens and turkeys out of mother's garden, besides making themselves generally useful, The extra time they play ball, go in swimming, ami run the risk of having to take "Smith's Tonic" in August, but never do anything well, li-a-r-d-1 y t ver do anything that good boys ought to do, and that city boys would be sure to do in five months idle vacation, Last Sunday the church hoti.se was well filled with attentive listeners to quite an acceptable sermon by a Methodist minister. After Sunday .school, in', the afternoon, a gentleman of another denomination ad dressed the people, and at night still a third. Same one may say that so many sects inijfhl confound the listener, but re member the labyrinthine paths all lead to one grand centre.
