And behold it yesterday came to pass that news was scarce in tho land and the faith of the reporter of Tn k Bulletin in tho truthful ness of the saying "seek und yo shall find," was somewhat shaken. A gentleman named John Everly, formerly in charge of the signal service stution at Dodgo City, Kansas, is on his way here to act as assistant to Mr. W. Ray, signal service observer at this place, who has been doing the work alone for nearly a year to tho injury of his physical organism A man named Smith a teamster while driving down Washington avenue yesterday morning with n span of spirited mules and a heavy dirt wagon, fell from the wagon in front of the wheels, two of which passed over his shoulders. His in juries, though painful for a time, were not serious. Yesterday morning brought1 ! the news that Rev. Hooper Crews, father of Mrs. P. W. Barclay, died nt Oregon, 111., after having been sick tor some time. He was u minister ot tho M. E. church, and was in the third year of his appointment as minister ot the church in Oregon. He was seventy-.-ix years of age at the time of his death. A man from Carbondalc, bound for home on the Mississippi Central railroad, Monday evening, left the coach when it was ou the transfer steamer McComb and, sitting down in some convenient place, died. It is believed that his ailment was au affection of tho heart. He was taken home by his son, who bad accompanied him on his trip. A colored man named Thomas Harris, who confesses to having murdered a negro woman at Brooklin, opposite Paducah, Ky., was yesterday brought here from Helena Ark., by a Memphis detective named W. G. Pride, who placed his prisoner in our coun ty jail for safekeeping and took him out in the evening to continue ou his way to Me tropolis, where the prisoner will be tried. A number of the street crossings are in very bad condition, which is a serious impediment to draymen and teamsters. Another impediment is the gravel that is lying in heaps along Ohio Levee, which should te ccattered as soon as the weather will permit. Draymen pay five dollars a year licensf, and teamsters seven and a half dollars. Besides this, they pay taxes, and it would seem only dm; to them that the streets should be kept in as good a condi tion as circumstances will permit. We yesterday had the pleasure of forming the acquaintance of Mr. II. G. Carter, of Mound City, one of the able at torneys who have been engaged for'the de fense in the Znone divorce case, and who if reports uiay be believed recently shuffled off this mortal coil. It is but jus tice to Mr. Carter to say that bince tho an nouncement of his death he has been among us in a decidedly materialized state, which fact would be sufficient to warrant a jury in pronouncing him an unusually lively corpse. In the trial above referred, his efforts in behalf of tho defendant ore highly spoken of. The argument in the Zanone divorce esse was closed by Judge Davis, ot St. Louis, yesterday evening, 'after which the jury retired to find a verdict, which they did after having been out but a hhort time. They did not grant the divorce and Mr. Zenone is compelled by their decission to support his wife. The final argument for the defense was made by Judge Green, whose effort is highly lauded, as one both logical and eloquent. He is a polished speaker, who invariably has the patient attention of all who come within car-shot of his remarks. We learn from City Engineer Thrupp that in some places the gravel that has been spread upon the Btrcets does not answer the purpose as well as it should. The trouble appears to be that it has not the requsito bottom to ret upon. The ground underneath becomes soft, and the gravel gradually becomes displaced and sinks down from tho con tinual use to which it is subjected. The remedy he suggests is, that gravel bo secured from "Island No. One;" the sand all sifted out, and the pebbles used in re pairing the streets that have so far been graveled ; and the sand, being worth one and a quarter dollars per yard, could be used in various ways. Our young gentlemen readers will this morning find another "matrimonial rhyme," from Anna, on our second page, which is as well worded and witty as tho former. Wo may state in this connection that the initials signed to tho former rhyino wcro not those of tho writers, but wero signed by us with out any knowledge of who the writers were. But even had the initials been thoso ot tho young ladies who wroto the rhyme, there could have been no serious objection to their initials op pearl ng beneath It, since it was known by qmto all our readers that it was written purely In a spirit of fun. It was well re ceived in Cairo and created a goodly amount of merriment, but never onco a serious thought; and wo need but say, in con clusion, that if the authors aro as handsome as thny arc witty and we have ft slight suspicion that they arc they will, but I we forbear further comment.

The State Journal says: "There will be lively time3 when brother Oberly gets his journalistic artillery in position at Bloomington, and properly trained upon tho works of brother Dowdull at Peoria." This i9 a mistake. There will be no time of any kind between these two warriors bold un less it be a friendly time. They have for given and forgotten each other's-shortcomings and, with arms encircling each other's necks, have wept the tears ot repentencc. Their respective weapons, now rusted and corroded and unfit for use, quietly repose ut the bottom of their editorial ink bottles with no hope ot resurrection, anil, in short, they are as "two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one." The wedding of Miss Moliie Clark aud Mr. John F. Clardy, took place at the residence ot tho bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Clark, in Missouri, yesterday morning. It was a notable affair, since both psrties to it stand high in social circles, and are blessed with innumerable friends, both here, and" in the state where they live. Miss Mollie is known as a most love able young lady, being refined, intelligent, accomplished and in every way fitted to bring happiness wherever she goes. The fort unate groom, Mr. Clardy, is no less worthy and is amply supplied with the various es sentials to a blissful union and a prosper ous and happy life. A large number of friends of the parties attended the wed ding, which was one of tho most brilliant affairs of its kind. We tender our con gratulations. We have just received, in pamphlet form, an essay read by Dr. H. Wardner, president of the Illinois state board of health, before a meeting of tho tri-statc medical society, held at Louisville, Ky, Nov. 10th, which discloses the remarkable fact that beforo the adoption of t.'io late law by which all physicians were subjected to a rigid examination, nearly two thousand quacks had been imposing themselves upon the public as physicians in Illinois alone. Tho doctor says: "In a few words, the board of health in itsentorcemeut of the law, has sought sim ply to ascertain in each cuso whether or not the person undertaking to treat disease was properly qualified to discharge his func tions intelligently and with skill. Never theless, even under so liberal a system as this, ono thousand seven hundred and fit ty men who hud been practicing medicine in Illinois were compelled, by their discov ered ignorance and unfitness, to abandon practice or quit tho State. Ono hundred nml twenty others have been restricted to practico under tho su pervision of preceptors, five hundred and fifty havo entered medical schools tor the purpose of securing tho requisite medical education; thirty-six aro awaiting exami nation, and tho applications of one huu died and Bcvcnty-four aro under considera tion, their qualifications being . undeter mined. These figures are simply astounding. In a single stato nearly 2,000 men were so illy qiialillud to treat disease, so ignorant ot medicine, tnat they couiu not satuy tno liberal conditions already outlined; in short, 2,000 quackB had been imposing themselves upon tno public as physicians, and recklessly nssumiug functions upon which health and life depend." A i.AiioE proportion of children who die early aro thoso whoso brain development is unusually largo in comparison with tno body. Why is this? Simply because tho functions of the body aro too frail to sup ply tho wasto going on in this brain conse quent upon active intelligence. Fellow's Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites is so prepared that It imparts tho vital principle directly to tho brain, while it assists in de veloping ft vigorous ana robust nouy. Wiiy lins Homeopathy become so popu lar? Because their medicines aro so easy to take; and this Is ono reason why Carters I.ittlo Liver Pills arc so very popular.
