Only two lump posts have bo for been spoken for on Ohio Levee, where there nhoulil Lu not less thnn six between St diml to Fourteenth street. Tliu merchants alonj,' the street hnve certainly some in terest in hnvinj; their premises well lighted. Most of them live ilown in town ami ut ui'ht ure nway from their storeB with no one in particular to watch them. It wotiM be (lesircdblo and certainly incrcn-e the Rifety of their property to hnvo street linnps at regular diHtunctn. Levee street needs to he lighted ns much if nut more than any other street in the city, because tirnt, it i.s the most fre quented ut uiojht by strangers nnd citizens leav'w orcomingon bouts or trains, whose condor, ''safety demands nUt. Sec ondly, it is tho first and only sight ot the city obtained by passengers on boats lyiny at our wharves, or passing by, upon whom Levee street, well lighted, with its many grand buildings, would make a very favora ble impression, which all friends of Cairo must regard with'somo desreo of satisfur,- I tion. Taking this view of it, all will admit that it i.s very much to the general interest of C'aiio and its citizens that the requisite number of letup posts be erected along the levee in accordance with the speticatiom in the ordinance upon this subject and we hope that, by the first of March, the posts will be ready for lighting. A week or ten dys ago the newspa pers and people of Alton were very much exercised over a great equable between the mayor and the council of that city, who used some very strong language towards one another, and now the "Alton Democrat" has stirn d up another hornet's nest in its attcu.pt to compel the board of school directors to comply with the law of the state requiring them to publish their pro ceedings in one or two of the newspapers of the county. There are, we believe, but comparatively few school boards in the state that comply with the laws ot Illinois in this respect, the Cairo board not except ed, and why this is so we cannot under stand. Why school boards should consider themselves privileged bodies and persist in a wilful violutiuti of a plain law; and that, too, in the face of a popular demand that they should comply with it, we admit is something that we cannot comprehend. Our school board has, so long as we can recollect, held its sessions in secret and never attempted to inform the people of the character of their proceedings, or the state of public education in this city. That 1 they have been honest and competent and attentive to their duties is questioned by no one, and when it is considered that they receive ne coinpsenation for their services no one will say that they do not deserve credit fur their devotion to the public schools. Hut all these things do not justify them in a glaring violation of a state law, which requires them to publish an annual reports in a newspaper of the city. For the benefit ( f those who have doubts on this point we quote the following from the Illi nois statute nf 1ST1 : Section eighty, chap ter 12:', page DTU, undet the head of "An nual Report" says, "the board of education shall annually picpareand publish in some newspaper or in pamphlet form a report of the number of pupils instructed in the year preceding, the several branches ol education pursued by them, ot the number of persons between the years of twelve and twenty -one unable to read and write, ami the receipts and expenditures of cttch school, specifying tho source- of the receipts and the objects of each expendi tures." Ci.eaii bead and voice, easy breathing, sweet breath, perfect smell, taste and hear ing, no cough, no distress. These are con ditions brought about in Catarrh by the use of Sanford's Radical Cunt.

A WOIID FRO If THEBES. Editor Bulletin. This is court week; wonder if those poor tellows, who have been "forthwithed" by the deputy-sheriff nre at all reminded by this, of the days they went courting their sweethearts! I guess not, but rather think that instead of building lovecastles in the air, they build a great number of dams, finished up with an n, especially those whoe lot it was to be excused ; they being outofjiocket (provided they had it) their board bill and traveling expenses, besides the loss of time. It may b3 right for a state to require the attendance of ius citizens at court without compensation, but I don't believe it, us the state is abundant ly able, I believe it to have no more right to enforce gratuitous service than a private citizen, lo require a jioor inati to tramp twenty-five or thirty miles through mud half leg deep, simply to tell him that the lawyers have no use for him, and witlmut the compensation of even a nickel, is alto gether too big- n joke on our free institutions. The news came here in the country that one hundred and fifty persons were ordered to be summoned, as out of one hundred besides the regular panel, only live jurors had been obtained. This certainly sp-uks well i. lie; intelligence and honesty of tin: po.iple of our county, fur 8S the liw stands, or as it is interpreted at courts, eligible juryman on any important case is required either to be a know-nothing or a carel'urnolhitig ; of coui.-i', a man that r ads the jiapcrs is wholly unqualified. Mr. Editor, you and your brethren of the press fraternity bad better gie up your business entirely, for il ) ti keep on disseminating information, knowledge ami news in the ratio you have for the last decade, at the end of another ton years, you can't pick one eligible jury man out of every hundred thousand people, and our machinery of justice!?) would have to Stop. With your permission, Mr. Editor, 1 beg lief to submit tho following grave and important question for the considera tion ol our legisl iture, viz: Is it better to prohibit the working of all educational ma chinery schools aii" I printing (tresses, or so to unit-ml the law that a disinterested, honest and intelligent citizen shall not be refused as a jurorl Mkn'sciiknkrf.cnd.

From a contemporary we learn that tho book "consists of a scries of pictures of ani mals, with apparatus for producing sound in imitation of each creature rep resented. Opening the book, the illus tration is on one side of tho pago and letterpress description of it on the pagn facing. Thelext covers concealed me chanism, comprising bellows and whis tles of peculiar construction for imitat ing various voices. The bellows are blown by pulling a button at the edge of the jingo, tlm button bttlonging to tho j)ieture on view being pulled to jiroduce an imitation of the cry of tho animal exhibited." Scrap Bags. It is a good phm to have pretty scrap bags in hilling room, dining room and bed room: they may bo ornamental, and are certainly very useful. Since trying this I have saved paper rags enough to buy all tho new tinware needed in tho house, and have occa sionally bought a broom also. Every bit of cloth, every postal curd and cir cular that wouhf otherwise have been put into the stovo ns not being worth the trouble of a walk to the regular rag bag, finds its way into-the little scrap bag. m - pan Scenery on the Colorado. The chasm of the Colorado river scores with tortuous course through the entire length of the Colorado plateau. From :1.hm to o.OOO feet below tho general level of the plain the river wanders for hundreds of miles. For sitxy-live miles it runs through Marolo canyon. The limestone walls, which are "from 2,mh) to 4,500 feet in altitude, are often polished to a high degree, and are of many colors white, gray, pink and purple, with saffron tints. At one point there is a plain like a marblo jiavement. polished and fretted in strango devices, and embossed in a thousand fantastic patterns. An Anecdote of Prentice. When George I). Prentice was editor of the New England Review he made some relloctiou upon the management of a Sound boat, then commanded by John Vamlerbilt, a brother of the Com modore. A writer in the Hartford Courant says that Vanderbilt was so offended that he called upon Prentice to give him a thrashing. Prentice's office was in the third story of tho building, directly at the head of the second flight, of stairs. Vanderbilt made his buisness known, ami in less time than it takes to toll it, found himself lying on the side walk in front of the door, lie soon pot tip and went to his boat, swearing vengeance. In his next issue Prentice gave nn account. of the affair and invit ed Captain Vamlerbilt to call again when he saw tit, at the .same time tell ing Captain Vanderbilt that he (Pren tice) weighed fourteen stone, used both hands with equal dexterity, and swung a pair of lists like tho halyard blocks of nn East Indian schooner. Vanderbilt, did not renew the quarrel. Slightly Prevaricating. Old Burly Willard was a wheelwright by trade, and, though nn excellent workman, was remarkable for his habit of procrastinating, lie would promiso ami then break bis engagement over and oyer again with as little scruple and as many "positively lasts" as a the atrical star." Having pledged his word to a very urgent customer, for the third time, he would have his cart done by a certain day, Baity again failed to keep his engagement, and, on tho arrival of the owner tho cart was still unfinished. "Well," says the customer, "you hnvo got my cart done by this time, of course?" "Yes," said Baity, "I had done that work and supjiosed it was quite ready for you, when I discovered that I had mailo a mistake a very unaccountable mistake, -that will put mo back a fort night," "Ah. indoocJV' said tho customer; "what's the trouble ?" . "Why, you seo" M'd ,?arty with jrravity, ami an air of extreme vexation, "you ' ' have made a mistake I nev er made such a blunder before in my life I have committed the ridiculous mistake of making both wheels for the same side; they aro both off wheels!"
