The Marino Hospital buildings aro making rapid progress toward completion. Tho wards aro both ready to rocoive the roofs and tho walls of the other buildings arc also nearly up. Mr. Win. Lonergan returned yesterday from Chicago, accompanied by his wife who was much improved but still hardly ablo to walk. Mr. Lonorgan's timely ar rival in Chicago was fortunato forlior. A negro named Scott and a switchman on tho Wabash road, named McBrido, had a tough light near tho Union Depot yestcr dag afternoon. OlHcor McTiguo arrested the negro who was fined before Justico Robinson. Tho Republican Senato failed to pass the bill which passed the Democratic house, and which forfeited millions of acres of land granted to railroad corporations upon certain conditions with which tho corpora tiona had not complied. Mr. J. J. Showles, contracting agent for the Burr Robbins circus, was in the city yesterday, arranging for tho appearance of tho show hero on tho 15th of next month. The tent will bo pitched on tho common back of the Library building. Passengers for St. Louis and points West, should bear in mind that the Illinois Central is positively tho only line running day coaches and Pullman Palace Sleepers through from Cairo to St. Louis without change, ami tho only line running threo daily trains to St. Louis. The Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Co. is furnishing efficient telegraph service to all points reached by their lines, at greatly reduced rates. A cheap telegraph service is what the people need and will look for. The office is located iu tho Texas & St. Louis R. R. building below Fourth street. Mr. P. J.Thistlowood intends to havo the premises upon which his new residenco is built, corner of Thirteenth and Washing ton, filled up to a little above tho Avenue, so as to givo it a good drainage. 1 tie house is now nearly finished, and filling will bo commenced in a week or ten days. A river man namod Thomas Rowdetn, who was left oft hero several days ago by the 6teamer James Lee, and placed in tho Marine Hospital, died there yesterday, and his remains were sent to Memphis yesterday evening, whero ho has relatives who will see him decently buried. The Young Democratic Club organ ized at the court house last week is reques ted to meet at tho Armory of tho Halliday Guards, on Tenth street, Thursday night. Business of importance is to be atteuded to, and arrangemcuts will be made to have a spoaker presont to expound, good Demo cratic doctrino to thoso present. By order of W. B. Pettis, Vice-President. 2t Atorco of men should be detailed by the city council to take the old scales, broken fence and all, at Tenth street, out somewhere and bury it. It has disgraced tho corner of 10th and Washington Avenue through two city elections already, looking like the dilapidated remains of au old country grave yard. Let it be burned or buried. Several of the leading citizens of Vi enna have sent Judge Bross word, that if he will come up there and liek hades out ot the man who abused him, they will collect enough money in an hour to pay all the fines that could be assessed against the Judge in all tho courts in Johnson county But Judge Bross lias gracefully declined the invitation. The caao of the man Smith, arrested by the night officers Monday night, upon suspicion of being guilty of robbing a sec tion boss nsmed Nolen of $40 in money and a silver watch in the Sherman house Mon day, was brought before Justice Robinson yesterday for examination, but Nolen was not in the city and the case was continued till Thursday, when ho is expected to be here to testify. The three greatest monopolists ia this country are Jay Gould, Cyrus W. Field and Russel Sage, Jay Gould says, "Blaine is the man I waut to sco President." Field saya, "Blaine is a strong and able man; I should like to see him elected." Sago says, "Blaino isasafo enough man for mo; I am warmly in favor of him." None of those men want Cleveland. Yet wo are told Cleveland is "tlio monopolist's candidate." If so why dou't tho monopolists support him? How can you tell a watermelon is ripe? Housekeeper. When a melon is rlpo the seeds are black.

Fischer, Tolodo, O., who will ac cept our thanks for a copy of this really beautiful song. Tho WabuBh railroad will ruu an ex cursion train from Stone Fort, Saline coun ty, on the IHh of next month. This excur sion is gotten up by enterprising business men of Viucous, who have contributed enougli money to hire tho train and will oifer the peoplo along the line, between tho tho two points named, tickets freo of charge provided they will come to Vincens on that day. Tho object of theso men is to attract the trado of these peoplo to flioir city and to hold it there. At present this trade, from Carmi down, all comes to Cairo, being brought hero by the accommodation train which tho Wabash has been voluntarily running for tho benefit of Cairo, llut now it seems that the merchants horo will have to do a littles somethlu!' to counteract tho otlorts of their Vincennes rivals. In a letter to Rev. C. Clark, Jr., of Portland, Maine, under date of July 8th, Neal Dow, the Prohibitionist enthusiast, writes this concerning Blaitie: In answer to your inquiry I say; I have had many letters from different parts of tho country making inquiries about Mr. Blaine. My reply has been that lie has always been a friond of the Maino law and has many times rendered important service to it. He is in favor of the proposed constitutional amendment and will vote for it. He is also a teetotaler and has been so several years. We, tho temperance men of Maiue, are firm in tho conviction that our object, the prohibition and suppression of tho liquor traffic, can never bo attained except by in dependent political action. The sooner that policy is resorted to aud vigorously pursued tho sooner wo shall win. This, from the St. Louis Evening Chron icle of Saturday, notes a little affair that oc curod, not noar Cairo, but in Paduca, Ky. : "Some boys living near Cairo, 111., yesterday visited a farm and collecting all tho ducks, pigs, gecso, dogs, chickens, and cats they could find arouud tho placo, tied their legs and threw them into a well. They then stripped the houso of bed-clothing, table ware, linen, etc., and piled them on top of the animals and fowls, topping tho whole with a large wheelbarrow. No causo is as signeb except a puro desiro to do mischief a lovo of cruelty. The frequency with which cases of wanton brutality are occur ring of late attract much attention. Wheth er tho morals of tho country aro sinking in to depravity, or whether some planetary in fluence is acting upon the minds of tho hu man race, are questions; but that the intel lectual man lias disappeared in many com munities and given place to the animal man tho brutal man and the bestial man, is evi dent from the crimes which are daily repor ted in newspapers, not only in this country but in Europe." Tho question arose yesterday afternoon between several businessmen on Commer cial avcnuc,who take au active interest in the political situation, as to what constitut ed tho "solid south," so called. This term is not applied to what we knew originally as tho "Southern states," nor to those states which seceded from tho union as soma sup pose, but is applied to a brace of states num bering sixteen, which havo for a Beries of years been undoubtedl Democratic. In the next electoral college theso states will be represented by 153 electoral votes, as follows : Alabama, 10 ; Arkansas, 7 ; Dela ware 3 ; Florida, 4 ; Georgia, 12; Ken tucky, 13; Louisiana, 8; Maryland, 8; Miss issippi, 9; Missouri, 10; South Carolina, 0; North Carolina, 11; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 13; Virginia, 12; West Virginia, 0. In the several "slates" prepared by ovor-sanguine Republican papers, West ' Virginia and North Carolina havo been classed as "doubtful" states; but the former gave Til- den a majority of 13,757 and Hancock 11, 148, and the latter gavo Tilden a majority of 17,010 and Hancock 8,328. Florida, which may, with more reason, be regarded as a doubtful state, was made to give His Fraudulency R. B. Hayes a majority of 010, but she gavo Hancock an honest majority of 4,310. Outward applications of so-called reme dies must prove worthless with diseases of the blood, and it ss now universally admit ted that neuralgia and rheumatism are dis eases of this character. Athlophoros strikes at the root of rheumatic and neuralgic troubles by correcting an unhealthy condi tion of the blood. Rev. Charles . Harris, pastor of St. Josbs St M. E. Church, New Haven, Conn., testifies to the valuable qual ity of this medicine. He was cured 'of a severe case of acuto rheumatism by one I bottle of the new and powerful specific. G. T. WHITLOCK.
