Our city officers and policemen paid off yeatcrday, leaving the treasury entirely solid. It will pay everybody to read the "small advertisement" column on this page. '...,,' Ouachita Bell came within speaking distance ot our lauding, backed down and coaled. No stampede followed. ' A heavy thunderstorm passed over the city about one o'clock yesterday. Tnc fall ot water for a few hours was very heavy, One of the Government's civil engineers is in the city, and was engaged yesterday taking abservations of t'.io river. Ho was assisted by Carsoa Martm. Harmon Black loft Cairo, yesterday, tor Fort Smith, Kansas City and Omaha, on a lookout for a place to locate for the practice, of his profession. The members of the W. C. T. U. meet at the temperance hall this afternoon, at 4 o'clock. Hereafter their meetings will be held on Thursday, instead of Saturday at ternoon. Mr. II. C. Loflin has been appointed by the Cairo Property Trustees, as night wharfmaster. Mr. Loflin is a No. 1 man for that KWiftioD, or any other tlwt lio un dcrtakes to ill!. Mr. William Etz, the blacksmith, ha s jast suffered aa enlargement of family. During the morning hours, yesterday, his wife bore unto him a fine tea pound cirl, bea!tiy and symmetrical in every particu lar. Col. Taylor and wife didn't get o'l night before last as was their purpose, but had every arrangement made to Heave last night, an it it is altogether probable that they did so. They will go East after alwut a week's sojourn ia St. Louis. - The city jail should be supplied with cheap, coarse mattresses. No human being should be subjected to the hardship of sleeping as our city prisoners do, on btrd. rcuah loards. Stronz ticks filled with straw would probably be most durable. The remains of Doctor Arter will be buried with Masonic forms and cert-monies, He had been connected with the order a!x.ut thirty-Eve years, and left a written request that his body be put away to its last resting place by Ida brcthen of the mystic tie. It is to be hoped that Cairo is now finally rid of that hitherto unsquelchable nuisance and police court pest, Mollie Bailey. On her solemn promise that she would leave the city at once and for nil, she was "given a stay" an a release from 53 days' confinement in the calaboose. Private advise? from New Orleans yes terday gave the cheering intelligence that no new cases had been developed during the proceeding twenty-four hours, and no deaths had occurred. There can bo little doubt, now, that the disease there is under control and will be effectually stamped out. The evening Brilliant is mistaken. Trk Bulletin did not 6ay that we would have no yellow fever in Cairo this season, although it firmly believes that we will not. It said that certain conditions lurnished us an absolute guaranty of safety, and it feels no disposition to recall or even modify the statement. At a late hour yesterday evening Christ Kelly was believed to be at the very point of death. His attending physician, Dr.Sullivan,thought it quite impossible that the pationt would survive the night. Kelly has mlny friends la the city and on the river who will be greatly saddened by the intelligence of his death. The rain, yesterday, lessened the num ber of the mosquitoes that infested the shady nooks of the cty, but those left proved as ferocious and savage as so many Zulus. They throw their suction pipes into the pores of ones skin, with skill and adroitness, ami tlwn "came down upon the brakes" with the vim of a Cairo fireman. The calaboose now contains only two prisoner--Thornton, the young man who persisted in swimming within the corporate limits during the hours o daylight; and Sarah Williams who is scr ing out a CO days' sentence for threshing Miss Lambau an operation which she declares sho will repeat the moment she regains her liberty. As tho National and Illinois State Boards of Health manifestly intend to carry out their hospital project at or near island No. 1, it wouldn't bo a bad idea in tho hos tilo Mayfielders to re-gnrrison Fort Jeffer son. If they could "hold the fort" as de terminedly ns did Cnpt,Piggott,therc wonld have to bo an enlargement of the army be fore the government could recover it. The occurrences of the past week have been of a nature so distressing to us, that it has required unusual effort to minister to our readers; find in making that effort wc seem to have been drawing on the fu ture. If, then. Tub Buli.rtin falls below tho average, during tho balance of the week, it will do so becauso of our mental and physical inability to perform the labor necessary for tho maintenance of tho usual standard. About half past 3 o'clock yesterday af ternoon, engine 03, doing switch joivico on tho Illinois Central, below Fourth street, was seen to become suddenly euveloped in team. At tho noise given out betokened omo Kind of an accident a crowd soon CAIRO' ' BULLETIN ; THURSDAY MOKMKU, AUGUST 7'.- W gathered around, and learned that In some mysterious way the driver had torn looso a clamp, the rivet holes of which communi cated with the boiler. Through these holes the steam rushed with great forco, creating a noise and presenting a spectacle that ar rested general attention. Mr. George G. Witchcrt left for St. Louis, last night, and will return in a few days with just such a stock aa is required to meet tho demands of tho Cairo market. I ne is determined to provide such cigars, tobacco and smokers goods as tho trade re quires, and that of tho very best that ready money will procure. Watch out for his re turn. George W. Norman, Esq., general tniv- eliua agent and correspondent of McGee's Illustrated Weekly, the only Catholic art journal in America, is in tho city soliciting subscriptions,and will remain several days. A copy of the paper left with us exhibits rare engravings, and is equal if not superior ia its typographical make-up to any other illustrated journal published In New York. The funeral train that is to convey the remains of Doctor Arter to Villa Ridge for burial, will leave the toot of Tenth street at half-past two o'clock this afternoon, the tu neral procession leaving the home of de ceased on Tenth street, a few minutes be fore that time. Services at the eouse at 2 p. tn. The friends of the family are invit ed to attend. We have heard it said that packages i of cigar scraps tobacco used as fillers we believe sent into Cairo from abroad, con tained foreign substances that added more to the weight than the value. But there is no cause for wonder in this. There is gouging, deception, fraud or downright vi'.laicy in nearly all the business pursuits of life, now-a-days except the job-printing and newspaper business! Capt. Hambletoa was in St. Louis, the other day, and was called upon to un dergo the usual infliction of newspsper no tices. It was he who purchased the Van Sant for the Illinois State Board of Health. If as the Timea-Journal says, theV.Z. was started for her destination oa Monday, she will doubtless be moored in the river above the head of No. 1, and ia readiness for the reception of patients ia a few days. Mr. Donnelly left his shop, Tuesday evening, wearing his "in-door hat." Ob serving the lact He seat his two little sons after his out-door hat. Looking back, alter the lapse of a few minutes to see what had become of them, he alleges that he saw Mat Cox in the act of throwing one of them from the sidewalk. He sued out a warrant for Cox's arrest, and the trial will probably come on for hearing before Squire Comings to-day. 'The regular annual meeting of the members of the Widow's and Orphan's Aid societ3', in the Reform Club room, was con tinued over lrom Tuesday evening to yes terday morning. The attendance was very fair and the proceedings harmonious. Mrs. P. A. Taylor, president, presided. Thirty one directors were elected, and these di rectors elect the president, secretary and treasurer and other officers a duty that will probably be performed at once. Tice and Mueller, in their forecasts of the weather, fixed upon yesterday as the hottest day in the season Tice unreservedly, we believe, and Mueller with the saving clause, that if it didn't rain. And the day set in with a manifest purpose to verify the the prediction. The score of Tuesday was 97, that of yesterday would scarcely have fallen short of 100, had it not been for the blessed rain that set ia just before one o'clock. The intelligence from Sproat's Arkan sas silver mines is confirmatory of that re ceived previously. Work upon the the shaft lias been suspended, and the force is busily engaged putting up tho machinery which is arriving from New York. With a crush ing machine and smelting works ready for operation, it is believed that Spront will soon send out a true story about silver in Arkansas that will exe'tto astonishment everywhere. "So mote it be." One of the deaths nt Memphis Mon day was that of Rev. Father Doyle, a Cath olic clergyman who through all the terrors of the plague had stood sturdily ut his post, nursing the sick, consoling the dy ing and ministering indefatigably to the distressed of the stricken city. At last, overcome by his noble labors, lie fell a vic tim to the epidemic, and Monday his martyr soul went to its reward, nnd Ins worn out body was consigned to its lust resting plncc. The self-abnegation, tho devotion, the fidelity and the calm heroism that wo seo in the life nnd death of such a man speak more for the hallowing influ ence of the Christian faith than all tho preachings and teachings o ages. Ex. Tho Cairo nud Pmlucah packet, Cham pipn, is winning upon the patronage and friendship of tho people quite rapidly. While tho Fisk people are ns clever ns peo ple can be, other people arc inclined to ro member that when the business was all subject to the Fisk's control sho did what almost any other boat in Christen dom would havo done, viz: maintained pretty stiff ratc3. Tho Champion cut down tho fare from 5 cents per milo to 8 cents, believing she could maintain herself at that rate Further cuts wero made in the "crush-out" spirit, and, although both boats are still in the trade, it is quito im possible that either one of them is making expenses out of tho legitimates Imsinos. If the competition has no sad icr end tbao the bankruptcy of one or both' of , tho boats, tlio conclusion will be more fortunate than is now generally anticipated. Empty cisterns, growing corn, parched gardens and sweltering animal creation, man and beast, rejoiced, yesterday, over the rain storm. It was a most welcome dash of drenching moisture, and all nature took on now vigor trom its cooliug and Inspirit ing iufluenco. The thermometer dropped at once from 02 to 80, aud before sun down dropped still lower. A shower that was ufore heartily welcomed has not fallen on the just and unjust for many a day. -jAmong other persons arrested, yester day, for doing business without a license, was Mr. Henry Throgmorton. Pre- ceedimrs were instituted before Squire Rob inson, but the caso was carried to Squire Comings, by change of venue. Mr. Line gar, attorney for the defence, made tho pout, that Throgmorton was not a mer chant, and did not come within tho mean ing of the law as such. He bought old chairs, sofas, tables etc., and exercising his skill nnd labor ns a mechanic, he converted them into partially new articles, different and of greater valus than tiny origiually were. Odd, broken and comparatively worthless furniture was the material out of which he made his saleable articles, and was not, therefore, pursuing a mercantile business; but a productive industry thut was not subject to the tax of n license. Squire Comings taking this view of the case Throgmorton was discharged. DEATH OF DR. DANIEL ARTER. The announcement of Dr. Arter's death, which took place nt a quarkr to 10 o'clock, vestcrdav morninir, will excite but little surprise among the people of Cairo. Something over a year ago his left lo was broken in two places by the fall of a wall, at the foundation of which he was working. Bein; at that time over 60 years of age, it was thought that he could not re cover from his miuries; out possessin;: a vigorous constitution and a well preserve! physical organization, he 60 fur recovered es to be able to move from place to place on crutches; and for a time he was piomiscd a renewed lease of several years of life. Five or six months ago, however, he was taken down with pneumonia, which being Pr eceded by other ailments, so reduced him in flesh and strength that his recuperative powers failed to assert themselves, and he was confined to his. bed continuously trom that time forward. The advent of the present hot weather had a most debilitating effect upon him, and growing feebler from day to daj-, ho finally passed away easily and calmly, like one lying down to sweet dreams. Doctor Arter was born in the State of Maryland, on the 3rd day of June, 170?, and was at the time of his death, therefore, 81 years, two months nnd three days old. He was married twice, having six chil dren by his first wife, only one of which now survives him, viz: Mrs. Louis Jaccard, of Caledonia. By his second wife, (who still survives him, and who bestowed most patient and loving care upon him during his long and trying illness) he also had six children, four of whom, (all being daugh ters) survive him and reside in this city. The Doctor 'came to Southern Illinois over forty years ago, during twenty-five years ot which time he lived in ruloski county, nnd practiced medicine. Always blessed with great vigor and activity of both body aud mind, he not only became a very successful physician in his treatment of the diseases incident to the country ; but become a widely known, popular nnd influ ential citizen. At tho outbreak of the war he moved to Cairo, and accepted na appointment from President Lincoln to the then very responsible nnd laborious position of Surveyor of tho Cairo port. This office he held, always person ally supervising its affairs, until the close oi tho war, when he retired from business altogether, upon a competence for his old age. Although often importuned to offer himself as a candidate for ofilcos of public trust, he seemed to havo no nmhilion in that direction, contenting himself during his cighteen-ycnrs residence iu Cairo, with a. single term as Select Councilman a position hcflllcd most intelligently and industriously. Although but littlo in public life, ns ul rcady stated, few men were more constant ly before the public. Known to and knowing almost everybody iu the country a man of quick perceptions, active intel lect und good judgment, he was induced to accept a directorship of the affuirs of tho Emporium Real Estate ami Manufacturing company, during the prosperous days of thnt corporation, and so well and satisfac torily did he discharge the trusts of thu po sition that, upon his retirement, liis co-directors and the olllerrs of the company tes tified their appreciation of his valuable aid, Iu the presentation of n splendid nnd costly gold watch. In the management of his own affuirs ho was reasonably successful, so much so that his declining years were blessed with n "temporal abundance." During the past ten years the Doctor gavo much thought to thu creeds of the different Christian sects, nnd embodied in pamphlet form the results of much of his thought and researches. Ho firmly believed in nn over-ruling, ever-present Intelligence. and in nn existence after death; but he din. carded all the creeds and bum of the chinches; nnd denied the inspiration of the scriptures and the diviuity of Christ To this delstic belief he dung to the lust rational moment of his life, fueling unsurcd that, whatever tlio mrure migui h 'u store for the creatures of earth, he would .. . ! - 1.1 !.... I- fare as well and happily as the rest. He approached death without a tremor or fear-noy,he longed for It as for a hoppy release from his suflbring-as for a sweet rest for his old and toil-worn body, uaiiy, almost hourly, for months past, he has ex claimed "Oh, will the end never come?" and, in tho growing certainty that the end could not long be delayed, he was never frightened or alarmed; but solaced and comforted.I le hud run h is course ; he had outlived tho allotted span; nature had pre pared him for tho change, and he contem plated it calmly, philosophically never as a terror; but. always as a rest to his tired, worn, pain racked, aud exhausted old body, nud wearied, but ever active brain. Now nnd here more is not called' for, at least nt our hands, Wc have known him ong and well os n most affectionate father to his children, nml ns a most provident luslmnd; and now as the survivingchildrcn and the bereaved widow commit his body to the earth, they can have tho solace of knowing that the world is no worse becauso Doctor Arter came upon it, performed his mission and passed away. Thousauds re member him to bless l.ir.i for his generous charities, and friendly aid and counsel; and blessed memories of him will live lougufter all that is uow left of him has become a mas? of indistinguishable dust.

THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCI ETY OF THE UNITED STATES MA KES THE FOLLOWING ANNONCE- M EXT TO THE PUBLIC: The . dissatisfaction which prevails throughout the community with regard to onerous conditions contained in life assur ance contracts and the judicial decisions based thereon, together w ith the public in dorsement of the lilHral usages of this So. eiety, as shown by its largely increased business, has led the management seriously to consider whether the contract could not bo slmpl'lid and certain conditions eresed therefrom which have leen the subject of much criticism and misconception. After a careful examination of the c.v periencc of 6omc of the best companies in Great Britain, who have shown a greater liberality than has been customary in this country, this society feels justified in adopt ing a form of contract in which the follow ing important concessions are made to pol icy holders throughout tho United States: 1. Policies will lie made incontestable after three years from their date. 2. Each ordinary policy will provide for adefinatc surrender-value in paid-up assur ance, in case the poliry is forfeited nfter three years from its date. 3. Each Tontine policy will contain a definite surrender-value in cash, in casiof withdrawal at the end of the tontine period. ' 4. The contract will be concisely nnd clearly expressed, containing only such provisions ns are necessary to protect the policy-holder. !. The above concessions will hereafter inure to the benefit of all policies already issued and in force, after three years from their dates respectively. H0'nLAR R I V A LS. 1'LANTEItS IIOl KK. 11. B.
