He obtained about $10, OX) valuation in addition to his first list. The latest scenic sensation in our town was that of two boys on Commer cial avenue sitting back to back on a pile of lumber with rod and line fishing for two straw hats whichjwouldn't bite. We counted on Twenty-first street, at an eirly hour yesterday morning, in one bunch, six mangy curs. These are dog days mad dog days and owners should be careful to keep their valuable canine stock tied up, tax or no tax. Owing to the unfavorable condition of the weather, the work of lowering the sidewalks on Washington avenue between Twenty-firit and Thirty-eighth streets it not yet completed, but is being for warded with all possible dispatch. Green Masiey, of Santa Fe, lately sent off specimen of the clay, called by him terra alba, to Trenton, N.

Uo left Cairo about two weeks ago on a visit to a brother llv ing about twenty miles above Champaign and on Monday last Mrs. M. recoived ii dispatch informing her of his dangerous itate, and requesting her immediate pres enco.

THE TRIMEVAL'S PASTORAL. ily grand father Jock was an upe, Ills grandfather Twist was ii worm ; Each age has developed In shape, And ours has got rid of the suulrm; If the law of selection will work In our cue, We'll develop, In time to a wonderful race. My sweetheart has claws, and her face Is covered with bristles and hair; She's feline In nature and (,'race, Shu's apt to (,'et out on u tear. She's cursed with u passion to drink after night; But these she'll evolve and develop all right. One race has evolved In tho sea, And partly got rid of their scales ; Though cousin by faces to me, They're cousin to fishes by titlUj Hut they'll ever remain simply mermen und women, or selection won't work in tho world thut they swim In.

Possessing a fair knowledge of fruit culture, we were able to appreciate the handsomo show of tempting fruit which gratified the tight. Long, double rows of pear trees extending tho whole length of the garden, were loaded down to the ground with perfect fruit of tho best varletiet; among them tho Bell Flower and Bartlett of very lino appearance. The bearing, trelllced grapet of the Jo Kalon, Roger and Iowa varieties, not to prolific a might bo expected, owing perhaps to rather too rich culture, wcro still good to look upon. Somo oi them are ripening fast. Never, perhaps, wore splendid tomatoes moro properly and care fully framed; tweet potatoes', remarkably healthy, peaches in great nbundance, and a profusion of vegetables. The gardener, a colored man named Wm. Itogcts, n long timo in Mr. Unlliday's employ, is a pro ficient in the gardening builness a faith ful employo and an cnthusiastlcJGrooley man. We alto noticed some magnificent red flowering oleanders on tho front lawn. These beautiful premises are now furnished by one of Dixon's wind-mills for drawing water for irrigating, etc., and it performs its otBco well. Messrs. Tom Hallidsy'j, Morrison't, Mrs. Stm Ualliday't and Galllgher's pretty placet all looked trim and elegant, but we could not tpare time to inspect detailt. We thall take another time to do to. Police, attention 1 Pigt, fourth ward. Pigs I attention I Police ain't after you. The contest of the bashful Myers and the gentle Martin with the negro lady on Eighth street, Thursday night, was very entertaining. She would not go to the calaboose, and she and all her house hold, twenty in number at least, and rang ing in size from the lenghth of your thumb to the bight of a hickory pole, cried 'long and loud", murder and fire. Mar tin came out shirtless and Myers tired. The jocatlve Myers, the lean, infantile Arnold, and other stars deployed in skir mish line on a dive of "fallen sister'," known to the fraternity at tho " Flat Top," located below the Commercial hotel on Commercial avenue. The inmatet were captured, bag and baggage; completely demoralized, tboy niado n stampede for their old quarters at Paducab. They took their extensive and fashionable wardrobe with them on their backt. LOCAL POLITICAL SQUIBS. Even Paducab is ahead of Cairo in the Greeley ratifying business. -Tho Greeley party in Cairo is run ning itself, and is running well. Webb stands square-footed in the Liberal platform, and is for Honest Horace to the hub. Shorifflrvin's friends expect that his majority will reach up into the neighbor hood of 400, while Mr. Saup's friends are of the opinion they will bo able to give Ham a close race. The politicul standing of Mayor Lansden has not$'et been clearly defined, but it is suspected he did not go back to Grant. She pressure upon him to do so has beon Tnlenso. Tho Rads are looking about for an In dependent candidate for Circuit Clerk in opposition to Ilarman. The Independent dodge Is going to be their high card this Fall, but it will fall if tho Democratic mangers act "square." POLICE CATASTROPHES. A large, mixed assemblage, gathered in Squire Shannessy't office during the morning session of yesterday. The activi ty of tho pugilistic business was evinced in the damaged phiz of a colored wench, who Indulged in a combat with another white wench in a low dive on Fourth streot. Molly got the worst of it, and was besides, fined $5 and costs; total $7.&ol bhe was arrested by Marshal Cain, who ac companied tho gentle Moll to collect the tald amount. "The Assyrian " (Myert and Martin) "camo down liko a wolf on tho fold " and incontinently went in for Frank and Kate ivnox, for scratching, pummolinc. and biting one another somewhere about Eighth and Loveo streets. Theso colared " Purdners " are, of course, from Padu cab, and havo beon cohabiting without tho preliminary ceremony requited by law Being threatened with prosocution, on 'luesday last they joined hands, if not hearts, and havoeeu fighting and bellow, ing over since. The gallant Myer led thi attack in front, while tho strategetlc Mar. tin mado u flank diversion, and victorv seemed doubtful, but finally favored the attacking party. Martin lost his shirt in tho skirmish, and Myers his shukoo. Hi honor thought tho battle wus worth SI und the extras, cuch, amounting in tho whole to over $25. The sad alternative of ten days each InMcHaie's invulnerable castle, with hard work, was tho result of having no current funds wherewith to oblige the public. An extru session at 'Squire Bross' jus tice dispensary was held yesterduy after noon, for tho especial benefit of John Cor coran, a caso continued from preceding day, charged with tho offonso of renting n house on lot 10, block 16 for lewd purposes, knowing it to bo used as such. After hearing tho evidence, tho caso was dis missed by agreement. Defendant to pay cost, for which judgment was issued" amounting to $0.30. He promised nover to do so any moro. CORRESPONDENCE. Hero is what " Inquirer " has to sug gest on tho wagon-peddling quottlon, which hat grown out of tho tomato agita tion : Editor Cairo Bulletin -. In your ltie of tho 10th lnt., "31c chanlc " says that ho don't know whether it Is right for people to noil from wagons with out a license or not. If he don't know right from wrong It Is probably his misfortune. "Enquirer" dare not complain orthosc who sell from wagons without n license, nor against any dealer, be he itenerant or resi dent, who can or doe sell for lcs than he does, but ngalust the law that compels one merchant to pay n license while another pursuing the same btislnes Is exempt; and he charges upon the city government on act or gros Injustice and oppression for allow ing euch n state or things to exlt. suppose a case : A dry goods merchant establishes himself In n wagon, In front of R.H.Ciiunlngham'sand begins to sell. How soon would he Inqiilro if said party had a license, ir his stock In trade consisted In drugs. Schuh would tunc his gentle voice for war; but If some one coiiminenccd to peddle protlsloni In front or King's produce store, neither or those city guardians and doughty champions or equal rights, would think of entering hi protest ; and If asked to do so would otter the weakest kind or an excuse for not dolng'.lt. The dealers of this city ask nothing un reasonable. They demand simple Justice at the hands or those whom thev have Intrusted with the management or" the city's af fairs; and our eltv fathers are recreant to their trust, ir they do not mete out Justice to all. Start us even gentlemen, and to the one that wins be the prize awarded. Inijuikeh. Remarks. "Inquirer" makes his point in a forcible manner. Tho dealer In country produco who lives in tho city should be treated with, at least, as much kindness by tho city authorities as the dealer who lives out of it. If he is re quired to pay a tax for the privilege of selling to his neighbor, why should not the produco dealer who comes into town dally in a wagon bo also re quired to pay u tax for tho privilege of selling? What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, but in this instance the council seeks to compel the goose to take for sauce something it does not feed to the gander. All dealers in produco in Cairo who are fixed to the real cstato of tho city, and pay taxes, and spend thoir money hero and help maintain tho city government, are compelled to pay for a license to do business to sell; while tho dealers in produco who soil in Cairo, on wheels, and who pay no taxes to tho city but carry out of It all the money they tako in for their stuff, pay nothing. This Is manifest injustice, and is in opposition to that just rule which declares that all pub lic burdens must bo equal. If tho council does not legislate this wrong away, our produce dealers must put their stores on wheels and flourish in untaxed liberty. Tho asphaltic correspondent comes back at us again as follows: Cairo. Julv 10. 1S7! Editor Daily Bullkti.v. Dear silt : So voti think I :un not posted In the matter or brick and asphaltic pateuients. Permit me to say I have lived in cities where thev have been used for vcar. and have done well, orcotir-e neither are equal to Hag stone, which Cairo is, at pres ent, unable to atl'ord : but cither are prefera ble to oak plank on the score or either dura bllity or economy. At least such is the ver dict or municipalities where thev have been used. Respectfully Erroneous. Remarks. "Erroneus' never lived in city like Cairo before. To put down brick or asphaltic pavements would cost a bigger sum of money than our poor prop erty holders could afford. Plank side walks aro tho only practicablo ones that can be used now in Cairo, except whero the front of lots aro up to grade, or on tho levee whero rich men aro putting up big buildings and don't care for expenses. A Texas judge lately decided that bad cooking on tho part of a wife was good reason for granting tho husband a divorce. Our advice to Texan ladles get a good supply of Burnett's steam cooking vessels d-tf. In retiring from tho business of tho old firm, I return thanks to my old patrons for all favors shown us, and ask a continu ance of the samo to Mr. Walsh, who will continue tho business in his own interest, while I will be happy to meet one and all of my customers and friends at my old stand on Fourth street.

By a misapprehension it was stated thut this court would adjourn Monday morn ing ; instoad of which, it should huvo been until Monday morning utO o'clock. CIRCUIT COURT. Chancory docket was continued general ly on the 1 8 th instant until next term. Tho interminable caso of Frick vs. Win ter, still continues to dazo tho brains of the Jury. Thrco lawyers yet to speukj It soems nothing short of a young earth quake, a general jam up will bring it to a cloio. Perhaps it will tako the jury a week to find a verdict.

Business continues good, and thero Is now a fair nmount of freight ready for shlpmont on band. Tho weather was pretty cloudy, nnd, considering tho timo of tho year, tho air was quito comfortable. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Tho Mary Houston had sixty passongors, but llttlo freight. Sho will probably lay up at Loulsvlllo for tho balanco of tho season. Tho llttlo stoamcr Judgo Bakor, which has been on tho docks for a few weeks, was let In the river Thursday uvonlng, and departod for Casoyvillo yos torday morning. Tho Wild Cat had a couplo of barges, loaded with pipe, from Gaylord's foundry, nnd takes them to Memphis. Tho Pink Varblo takes a load of oil cake from Mcmphlt to Now Orleant next week. Tho Jim Fisk, Jr., resumes her trips about the first of noxt week. She Is having her repairs done at Paducah. It will bo remembered that a number of years ago the Captain of the steamer Mosalla made tho remark as his steamer was leaving Cincinnati that ho would be at a certain hour at a given point or How his boat to h'll, and but n few moments afterward her boilers exploded, killing a large number of her patsongers, "Wo heard that the abovo remark was made by the Captain of ono of tho packets which left horo Thursday ovening. If it is true it is certainly a very poor assertion for a Captain of a steamboat to make, for acci dents aro liable to occur at any moment. There Is no reason In the world to bolieve that if such a remark was made that tho Captain was sinern in what he said and would bo the last ono to endanger tho lives of his passengers. Still the assertion was n careless one. The Minncola is still in port discharg ing her COO ton Cargo. The Julia brought out n fair load and added considerable here. PHIL.

Hois loud on betting, and beforo a crowd in front of tho Stokes house, offered to wagor a box of cigars that Greeley and Brown would not carry Illinois. It was promptly token by a Dcmocact, who then proposed to the radi cal that ho would wager a five dollar hat that Greoloy and Brown would carry evory stato in tho Union but one. and he would bet a fifty dollar suit of clothing that they would carry that one. It was a stunner to tho Grant men, and at the last accounts thoy wcro studying to find out if there " wasn't some d m soil in it." The U. S. Snog boat J. J.
