CAIRO BULLETIN: THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, 1880, GENERAL LOCAL NEWS. Notices In tlicso columni, tou cent! per line, cuch insertion, Mr. John Reeves took a trip oujt In the country yesterday. Probate court, Judge Yocum presi ding, is in session. The city council will inert on Tuesday next to canvass the vote of the late elec tion. Mrs. John Austin of Metropolis is in the city, visiting the family of Geo. W. R. Corliss, Mr. E. A. Burnett left for St. Louis yesterday morning, and will be absent sev eral days. A few cases of supposed scarlet fever arc still reported, but no apprehensions are felt on account of them. The Misses Oberly, Edith and Ger trude, will probably prolong their stay in the city tor several weeks. Taxpayers should remember that be ginning on the 1st of May the one percent. per month will be added to all uupaid taxes. The Ohio river is slightly on the rise, but the rise i of such a character which 'cuts no tiL'tire." It is but slight and spontaneous. Marriage license were yesterJay issued by County Clerk Humm, tor the marriage of Mr. George DeGclder and Miss Minnie Zononie both of this county and highly respected. Mr. E. P. Powell, one of the gentle manlv and valuable attaches of the New York store has taken possession of Mr. Totten's handsome little cottage.situated on Eighteenth street. Messrs. J. B. Reed and .1. S. Hawkins graced the court room of Squire Comings vesterdav morning. The case, which was not of public importance, was decided in Mr. Hawkiu's favor. Mr. Bob Beard, w ith a number of com peteut workmen, is engaged in raising the old "pilot house" and placing a new foun dation under it. Beard, like Summerwell is a "brick" at such business. Messrs. Lancaster & Rice have of late- enlarged their lumber yard to meet the re quirements of their growing trade. This is not a fact of national importance, but is ot sufficient local interest to merit mention It is altogether likely that the very thing vou have been "longing for" will be offered for sale at the auction sale of M. B Harrcll, this morning. Sale commences at 10 o'clock, on the premises, "02 Washing tou avenue. A force of hands -sons of Erin were vesterdav at work replacing the old rails ot the Cairo and Vincennes road with new ones and generally improving the bed of the road a work which always gladdens the hearts of our sturdy draymen. The sale of Mr. M. B. Ilarrell's house hold effects will commence this morning at 10 o'clock. Sol. A. Silver acting as auction eer. Everything will be sold, without re serve. Parties desiring to purchase an ex cellent second hand piano good for ten years service, should b on hand. We publish this morning the commu nication of I. A. M., which should have ap peared on Sunday last, but which owing to a lack of space has not readied the pub lie eye until this morning. I. A. Ms articles are always full of interest nndhere uter will appear upon the desired days. There appears to be scarcely a doubt now that there will be two Democratic state conventions in New York, and two delegations from thut state to Cincinnati. Tildcn and Kelly are patriots of such pu rity and virtue that rather than forego the chance of ruining each other they prefer to ee their party ruined. The citizens of Illinois will be called upon to vote next fall for a constitutional amendment extending the term of the offices of sheriff and county treasurer to four years, and providing that no such cffieial shall be eligible to re-election to said office for four years after the expiration of the term for which he shall have been elected. We learn from the Massac Journal that the Massac county agricultural board ln.s fixed the time for holding their annual fair for Wo, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, o.-tober B'.th to 1fith. They have enlarged their grounds so that by the time of the fair they intend to have a track and fair grounds that will compare favor ably with the best in the west. A letter from Andy Cane, who has been in St. Louis for the p:ist three weeks for the benefit of his health, states that he is gradually improving and regaining his former good health. He expects to return to this city before the close ot the week and thinks he w ill be able to "weather the gale" hereafter. That he mav besneedily and permanently cured is our hope. Geo. Oluistead has been elected police magistrate, and, with the majority of the people of Cain, we n -juice in the fact be cause we believe him to V as goo 1 a man for the place as could have lieen selected. Many have been the compliments tjm i,y his numerous friend ', Tin; Bci, 1,1; ns not excepted, mid we believe that he will prove in every re pect worthy of them We believe that he is a man of good common sense, honest in his convictions of riht, reasonable in his views, with a just regit d for the interests of the city and a ma 1 win w ill not allow himself to bo inrlunced in favor or against cither party in a case by selfish considera tions. We believo Georgo Oluistead to bo incorruptible and incapablo of rendering a judgement contrary to his own con cience and the cvidenco iu any case. A gentleman, John Johnson by name, did yesterday with malice aforethought and inspired by his satanic majesty, "in dulge" too freely and was thereby induced to tear his Appollonian locks and start out on the war path, offering to decorate the faces of various citizens with his fist. He was arrested, tried by Squire Comings and sent to jail for ten days. Notices have I om scut to our prominent citizens, requesting their presence in the hall of the Arab engine house to-night. The object of the meeting is to talk over and talk up the organization of an Alexan der county fair association and since, as we have repeatedly shown, such an organiza tion would result in great good to our city, the attendance will doubtless be large. The Tenth street music stand has been repaired, and since the tootcrs who compose the silver cornet band are now almost nightly engaged in practicing, we suggest that, on pleaant evenings, they avail them selves of the opportunity of earning the thanks of the community by occupying the stand, and, in the language of Cowpcr or some other genius, fill the public ears "with melting airs of martial, brisk or grave. The new revenue law imposes a heavy ,-i,ti-i!v imon those W ho delav the j.avtnent i t . . . of their taxes beyond May 1st. There no escape from this penalty: and the col lector, having no discretion in the matter being unable to relieve or commute delin quencies has a.-ked us to give this last notice to delinquents that they mi st pay. They must pay or suffer the consequence of their delay. Yesterday evening a man by the name of Win. Morris-m attracted some attention by his peculiar actions. He entered Mr. Phil Saup's candy factory and wildly pleaded to be protected from a mob that threatened him, as he thought. He was tound to be suffering the torture of deli rium tremens, and his rantings created sympathy in some and merriment in others, among those who saw him. -Our readers doubtless ail remember Paul Boytou who floated by this city in his rubber suit some months ago. We see it from an exchange that he is now lec turing in the southern cities and proposes to devote the proceeds of his lectures to the relief of the Irish. Paul might be gracious enough to semi himself as a con tribution to Ireland, and thus, for once, de vote himself to the relief of the Americans. -Mr. John Regie, we are reliably in formed, has rented or leased the sausage factory of Mr. Frank Klein, and contem plates at no distant day to furnish our peo ple with sausages of his own make. As a rule, sausages, like the laws of our country, cease to inspire respect us one becomes acquainted with the mode of their making, but to this rule, as is well known, the sausages of Mr. He j,ie have al ways been an exception. A Cairoite writing to the Chicago Times asks thy editor of that journal : "Would you be kind enough to answer by letter whether Gen. U. S. Grant bore the name of Hiram, as I have a bet of $25 that he did. or some other name besides U. S.. and it is left to you to decide the mat ter' T think he ma le the change or h ft off the name Hiram upon his entering West Point." To which the editor replies; '('.en. Grant was called Hiram at home. At the West Point academy his name was in advertently catalogued Ulysses S., and he chose to adopt it." It may occur that, under the inexorable decrees of the goveruiiie-.it. our signal ser vice agent. Sergeant fr. II. Ray. 11, ay, in in July next, be assigned to some other service. We cannot say less of Sergeant Ray, than this; that, although he was de prived of assistants, the duties of his office were well performed; or, in o'her words, the sergeant always proved himself equal to all the demands of the occasion. He is well liked in Cairo everybody likes him; and we will, should he be assigned to other quarters, part with him with sincere regret. In conversation with one of our citi zens yesterday we were told that "lengthy and elaborate sermons are not popular these spring days or nights with the young people who attend churches on Sundays, "and," continued he, "a fifteen or twenty minute sermon generally has a good effect where one more lengthy, however able, not only fails to make the desired impression, but prevents them from 'calling again.' In giving publicity t this opinion Tiik Iln.LKTiN has but one object and that is to sustain its reputation as a dispenser of relig join intellgeiice only this and nothing more. --The citizens of the neighboring towns and cities who came to Cairo upon an invi tation of Miiyor Thistlewood and Col. S S. Tavlor, and aided in the reception of General Grant, mav rest assured that their presence here was duly appreciated by (un people. Where so ninny were present it was, of course, impossible to extend to nil the many little courtesies fur which our pjoplo are proverbial, but quite all tho strangers who were here had tho good will of our people and they may depend upon it that their presence was a pleasure to us, although no unusual courtesies wco extended. Josephino Fields and Chas. Holly, both white, had sumo misunderstanding some days ago, during which Charles, who is generally known as a hard case.thrfcatencd Josephinu's life. Sho swore out a warrant for his arrest, intending to have him bound over to keep the peace iu the future. Of ficer Monroe Wooten, after search suc ceeded in arresting Holly yesterday and brought him before Squire Robinson, but owing to the non-appearance of his accuser, he was acquitted. Mr. Miller, of Green Line fame, has returned from his trip to Bvansville, ac companied by the youngster who stole his wife's golden watch. We are told that he proposes-to do one of two things either keep the watch and send the boy to tin re form school, or keep the boy and send the watch out of his reach. We are inclined to the belief that the former course w ill be pursued. P. S. Since the above was placed in print we have learned that the boy, named Michael Murphy, has been sentenced to three years in the reform school, by Judge Yocum. Two men, a negro and an Irishman, names unknown, boarded the Grand Tower at Yicksburg, on her trip up. The latter was somewhat under the influence of liquor, and having taken several tnoii drinks, he became quarrelsome and at tempted to pick a light with s-veral of the hands on the boat, but without success lb- til. ik turned upon the negro w ith whom he had come aboard and succeeded in en gaging him in a quarrel, during which Ik shot the negro in the ear, the ball glancirg off and lodging in the si ie of the 'ac For some reason, a good one we suppo-' nothing was done to either j-.arty on t.i. boat's arrival here. We arc indebted t Mr. Sol. Silver for th. se purticu'.f.r. The statement recently ma le in an a- sociate press dispatch from Washington that in the four weeks past eleven death had occurred in New Orleans, has thorougl ly aroused the press of the Crescent City which denounces the report us a fuu.-ida tion'.ess lie."

Intemperance prevai.s to sucli an ex tent in many portions of Nu;.h Carol in among the better class ..f young mc,i, as to excite serious attention.

Mr. Ya vaxter, who is a colored man, was d. feati d in the Second ward by Mr. Blake. Our health officer, Mr. Samuel Orr, has been very efficient since his recent ap pointment. He has traveled the city from the point to the cross levee, and from river to river, peering into every noolc and cran ny that might conceal anything likely to prove injurious to the public health, mid lie tells us the work of ridding the city of ull objectionable matter-will be a herculean job, for there are loads of rotting vegetables, general kitchen offal, and carcasses distrib uted in various portions of the city which would, under the influence of the sun.de velope into just so much deadly poison. Mr. Orr has alreialy pio.eu himsc f equal to the task of cleaning nil this foul matter away. With the assistance of M . Cocoran iu the Fifth ward, Mr. Morse n the Fourth wind, Mr. Pitcher in the Third, Mr. Walker in the Second and Mr. Schutter in tho First ward, he w I la a short time bo able to lender tin general condition ot the city such its to leave no ground for apprehension, even in the minds of the must timid, and pin 0 Cairo entirely beyond the danger of Inter nal causes of disease. Pof lbs B'i'.lutiu. RICH AND GORGEOUS, BUT NOT GODLY. Sittiug alone at my window, this bright, beautiful Sabbath morning, a weary in valid, and as such shut off from the out side woild, with all its pomp, display and hol-low-headodncss; a question which lias so often before presented itself to my mind, again arises uppermost in my thoughts, as I gaze idly on the moving throng in the street below, as each individual wends his or lu-r way to somo fashionable church. The question is this: Why do people consider it necessary to dress so extravagantly to at tend the house 0! God, and does the thought ever occur to those who may have the means to indulge their tastes in this matter of dress, how many of God's poor they may keep away from their father's house by thus gratifying their own pride .lad self indulgence? There the rich and poor meet together aixl the Lord is maker f them all. Have the rich then any right to shame those that have not, and by start ling contrast of their magnificence with the plainness of the poor, drive them from God's house or expose them while there to painful humiliations? Is it good bree liii" or kind, to say nothing of your duty as a tollowerut the meek and lowly Nazarene, to make the pour feel out ot i.lae.-- I intruders iu fact, upon ground to which their right is as undoubted us your uwn? Nor is this all the bitter fruits that ure born of this worst kind of worlllincss that is shielding itself under a wretchedly thin di..gui-e of deference to the sanctuary. There is a family, we will say, in moderate circumstances, enabled by the temperance and industry of the father, and .strict ec-u .'my of the mother, to get along comfoit ably and pay all their indebtedness. Tiey desire to bring their children up in the church, and in.i.t upon t'.i-ir regular at tendance at some church the parent, may choose for them. All goes well for aw-hile, but. by and by, as tin; children glow c. l.-r the f tot becomes painfully apparent, to their mind tint they are ti"t dressed as line or stylish as many that bow the knee with them in the same sanctuary. They may be ia ide more conscious of this fact by oer-hearii:g a whispered set:te.-:ce a suppressed titter, or by seeing a slight shiug of the shoulders between some bet ter dressed companions of their own ac. What are the f'reliug. thus awaken -d In their young, an I heretofore happy hearts? ami wh.it is the con.equence! They return home unhappy avid li..itiiie I, an 1 begin to clamor for either finer clothing, or to be al. owed to absent them.e!ve. from Go I s lloii.e u'tog. ther. Here Is a sad di'emaia t'-r the poor mother. Shecannotoot.tr forget the duty she owes her children as to allow them to get in t;u-habit of rot at tending church; still tier tender mother heart '.'utinot compel them to gi nud sub-j.-ct them to this painful humiliation again. What, then, is to be done? She cor.f'-is with her hu.sband and not withstanding his assur ance that he is already dres-itig hi family to tile extent of hi ability, she begs l.i.n to try and manage some way by which they may be dres.el better; and so it imp; i-".s that by and by . the children are drcsse 1 befer then their parent, cm offord. and some body must pay fr the extravagance. I do not mean that they are tempted to steal but I do say they ohind. Tiiey iii-m s. iee how to get it out of the milliner, out of the dr.-. maker, or out of the merchant. They intend to 111 ike one h-m 1 wash the other, and they go in debt an 1 resort to petty 111eannes.es to bring it about. And this i)e. in- to drc better then they caa afford, is taking ml the ven e.iamel of their vir tue taking out the very stainiiu of their r. ligious life. "Why b you n.-t attend church;" asked the writ'. r of a poor hard working woman, who was complaining of the little comlort she had in this life. "At tend church 1" she repeated ; th.-n, with a w. ary sigh, added, "oh the church is only for the rich and aristocratic and those who can dress in silks and velvets and not for such poor unioiiuuaies us j. How my heart echoed that pier woman's sigh and how I wished that it was fashion able to go to church, if to no ether place 11 earth, simply and plainly attired, and save the purple, and flue linens, silks and satin s and jewelry, for receptions and grand dress occasions, to which tli.f poor have no desire to be admitted I- A.
