Mr. Wright, editor of tho Vienna 'Art
cry,' called upon us yesterday, but we did
not have an opportunity of conversing
with him. Ho it in attendance on tbe
Sabbath school convention, and ho had jnst
time to assure us that Greeley and Brown,
are the popular cbolco in hit county, and
that Grantitm it dead and buried.
Thi attendance at the M. B. Sabbath
School convention on yesterday morning
was very thin, indeed, thero being only
about thirty pertont present. Wo wore
given to understand that about twenty
delegates have arrived. In tbe aftornoon
however, the interest seemed somewhat
to havo increased, but not to that extent
which tho occasion seemed to warrant.
In tho afternoon and evening, tho at
tendance was slightly Increased, sufficient
to mako up a pleasant, conversational
party. We understand, howovcr, that tho
printed programmo wai crrrled out. But
tho energy and teal generally attendant
upon tuch occasions was not vlsiblo to tho
appreciative eye.
We are apt to concludo that religious
excitement don't go up with tho mercury
in this latitude. Persons may think much,
reflect seriously, and render devout hom
age silently, and yet not feel Inclined to
participate publicly in acts nf religious
worship, just at this season. It might
havo boen better had our fellow christians
awaited a cooler if not u raoro convenient
season for their convention. It might,
too, have boen more successful had they
sought to unito their oxcrtions in this be
half with other churches and so havo ren
dered the convention a suro and marked
success, Isolation is not advisable in such
mattort, and tho broad platform of charity,
that most oxcellont of all christian virtues,
is wldo enough and broad enough to rim
brace tho wholo family of christian work
ers. On anothor occasion it were well to
bear in mind that " Union ie strength,"
The threatened rain has not yet do
tceuded, at anticipated. Heat continues
to run the mercury up so fast, that tbe
fastest runner in Cairo bat run up out of
sight to catch it ; up to date he has not
been heard from. Notwithstanding,
howover, tho breeze, occasioned by tbo
rivor drafts tempers tho rays of old Sol.
Mercury stood at 00s at 0 a. ni. in the

From a privato letter to a friend in this
city, dated Charleston, Mo., Wednesday,
0, a.m., we were sorry to learn that Mr
Whitocomb, so long joint proprietor of
tho Charleston 'Courier,' is nomoro. The
letter says: "Ho commenced sinking
about supper time last evening, and imme
diately becarao unconscious. All night
tho death strueglo showed itself plainly."
Since then ho has breathed his last.
His remains aro to bo interred at St. Louis,
according to his expressed desire.
Cases of small pox aro now being re
moved to the post-house, which is a very
proper unci judicious arrangement of tho
Board of Health. A colored man of tho
namo of Young, living on Tenth ttrect,
was hauled to that establishment yester
day morning. Medical raoh request us to
suy that all extra nents trom persons at
tacked by this pestilenco should bo in
stuntly removed and buried, as, if neglected
to be dono, strange as it may seem, tbo
germs of the disease are carried in the air,
and thus spread in an otborwlso unac
countable manner. Tho same applies to
typhoid, and other epldomic dircasoa.
Wo bellovo that Health officer Bummer
well is faithfully discharging his duty to
tho public, and bo descrvos tho good will
ef tho wholo community.
Evert day it indicative of a "good time
coming" for Cairo. Amongst other wel
come signs may bo noted tb fact that the
Kentucky and Tennessee railroad it an
aisured fact. Tbo contractors for the
portion opposite tho city have commenced
operations; and they havo adver
tised for all the choppers they can get at
fair wages. Tho Messrs. Harklessaro up
right men, as well as energetic, and will
push on their part of the work in good
earnest.
Wo also notice that axo men aro wanted
on tho otbor side of Charleston, Mo., on
tho Cairo, Texas and Arkansas railroad.
Theso signs all go to give encouragement
to business men of tho right stamp to
corao among us, at como they must by the
very force of clrcumstanstancei, to help
build up, and participate in tbe growing
prosperity of Cairo.
THE ST- CHARLES.
On Tuesday evening, tho 0th instant,
we paid a visit to tho St. Charles ho
tel, and by the Invitation of tho polite
proprietor, F. D. Rcxford, Esq, Inspected
this desorvedly popular establishment
fiom collar to tho upper stories. Tbe out
side of tbe building, we need scarcely say,
has been much improved; for tho staring
red brick has been substituted with a soft
deep stone color paint, front, rear and
sides, which greatly enhances tho appoar
anco of this fine building. Insido, tho
office and reading rooms, and billiard
ball have boon entirely rennovated, and
presents to tbo tired traveler a promise of
comfort, cleanliness und rest, and anticipa
tion of otbor good things in prospective
The spacious and cool dining room has,
in liko manner, boon freshly painted and
fitted up in excellent taito; new Venetian
blinds, doublo folding, havo just boon
hung on the insido of all tbo windows.
It ts scarcely necessary to say mat mo
cuislno is of first-class quality, both in re
gard to tbe nuturo and variety of tho
viands served up, and tho exquisito man
ner in which they are cooked. The
waiters at the table know their
business, which is saying a good
deal, performing tbeir duties attentively,
yet without that prevalent obtrusivenets
to annoying to tensitivo guests.
Proceeding up ttairt, wo we-e shown
tbe family silting rooms, and weio sur
prised to find them elegantly furnished
with handsome furniture of modern style,
including finely toned pianos, and like tbe
sleeping rooms, next visited, spacious,
and what is of groat importance, tbor
oughly ventilated. Each bed if fitted
with a mosquito bar ; foot-baths aro to be
found, also, in each room, and nothing
seems wanting to invite to "tired nature's
tweet restorer balmy sleep." It is also
note-worthy that every hull Is furnished
with a good clock, Ico tank, and
one of Babcock's fire extinguishers,
ready charged for Instuntanoous
use (things not to be found in every hotel
by any means.)
Proceeding to tho kitchen, cellar, and
store-rooms, wo found in tho culinary de
partment, a double cookicg range,- of ca
pacity sufficient to supply tho utmoU de
mands that can be mado upon it, also u
fine bakery adjoining the kitchen; the
storerooms were fully up to tho murk, und
tbo capacious refrigerator is a small store.

is not a ghostly visitant of that ilk, wait

tho hungry traveller.
Mr. J. U. Clark is the head clerk, and
is amply qualified for tho station he holds)
and tho sumo may lu said of Ills assistant,
Mr. S. Levtcovitch, tho second clerk.
The proverbial hotel clerk is not fwuvc,
and generally feels too big by a few feet
but these gentlemen aro precisely the
reverie, and tho guest Immediately feels
at ease, on tho first salutation. The bur
room is furnished with such liquors as
might be expected in such an establish
ment. Tho barbor shop Is neatly fitted up and
fine cold and hot baths uwait, at a mo
ment's notice tho dust covered weary
traveller's pleasuro.
Wo have not in tbo least exaggerated
in tbo above statements, and wo may add
that in Mr. Rexford will bo found an
obliging and polito landlord, who keeps in
every respect a first-class establishment,
and who, from bis high character, as woll
as from tho great exponse and pains he
has incurred to rendor tbo St. Charles
second to nono, thoroughly deservos the
patronugo of tho traveling public, and
Cairo may well bo proud of tho St,
