The proclamation of the mayor, pub llshedip another column, directs that 11 do found runnmg oV large In the city without a muzzle, shall be destroy, d, and charges tho city marshal aud day policemen with the duty of destroy ing them. Thin measure, In view of the prevalence of hydrophobia In tho Bur rouhcllug country, Is regarded necessary for tho protection of our citizens. Every street and by-way of tho city Is thronged night and day by dogs of all degrees, many of them worthless, ownerless, ncnklng, thieving curs, that should he killed on sight on "general principles." A single rnbld dog among these would, In due season, furnish a "mad dog" for nearly every family In tho city, creating a panic, If nothing woroe, that It is well to L'Uanl iiL'tiillHt. 'l'heactunl value of tho dog.i that In fest our streets, market places and com mons, will be determined at the hour of 12 m. to-morrow, nx, at that hour every owner in ml prt with his dog or with Ix bits the price of a muzzle. After that hour muzzled dogs will be esteemed as the lx bit dogs and the unmuzzled canines as the miserable, egg-sucking progeny of utichtuto muteruul uuceetor, not worth a copper. This Inst klud will feel the grip of one of Davidson's "iron hands," and afterwards the crash of lead through their brain, that will relieve them of u worthless existence, nud fur ther danger of hydrophobia. Of the i-lx-bit dogs there are not one hundred In the city. Of the others there are over one thousand, fully six hundred of which are owned by the two hundred negro families domiciled on our envi rons. There are four negro families In the city thut own, in the aggregate, thirty-three dogs; and the general average will not fall short of three dog to each colored family. Among this largo num ber there U not a single dog that Is worth tlx bits. From this showing it will be seen, not only how Cairo Is afllloted with dogM, but what a Uog-killing Job is in re serve for our marshal and day policemen. RUMORS OF WAR. The country wa slightly "Interested," jeelrrday, by the telegraphic aunouuee neat that France, England and Hpaln Jaad'madeaomeadvaucus toward a triple alliance, offensive aud defensive against theUnted States. While nobwly was badjy scared, a great mauy placed no reliance whatever In the rumor, regard lutf.11 as purely, sensational, aud as set -aflqat li the Interest or stock-jobbers. This view Is strengthened, too, by the 1mc that not one word concerning such a movement has been received from the Legation in London, Blnce.lt It very.'IgyncraHf known last Jncie jjam has fas good aV two million soldlers'ln the fl'eldwell disciplined and hardy as lignum vjtctu knots, and since It is further kuown that the Russian War and.

I Of all the editors InCalro on the 2I-i JTmWa'ff, of thDecatirf "Magnet,' Is the only one who discovered that "Cairo was muddy" and why? Because he was the only editor wboTiwt?d' visit the negro quarters; and guzzling the "boomernlcklo" sold there at three drinks;' for a fdlmeihe took thb J)lintatMers4 While, ho was In this condition, a negro "confidence man" beguiled him to a point In the .rear pt the city slaughter pens, where, two hours afterwards, ankle' deep In slush, ho was found celebrating, tho "Fourth of July'' by .loading oind firing a wagon tongue. The success of the darkey sharper may bo Judged when wo remark that Shoatr had to borrow a quarter to pay his boot-black. There fore, under nil the clrcumstuncos, Cairo uw, to bhoafT, somewhat after tho man ncr of his own mind whllo here, a Utile muddy. Iiut, lire's what Shoafl'says, good, bad and IndliTcrcut: CAIHO. Tho metropolis of Southern Illinois, and tho prido of uvery truu Egyptian heart. Cairo was muddy Cairo, If no muddy, would not bo Cairo; and even some people with vivid Imaginations have gone so far as to say that the inhab itants of that enterprising city uro am phibious and that they are web footed. We do not believe this, however, and even If It were true, wo would have no hesitation whatever In pronouncing the pooplo of Cairo a whole-souled gener ous, enterprising population, whoso hospitality Is as deep aud unbouuded as tho mud which boleagurcs their watery city. In Justice to tho prosperous city we will state that we beheld many mas sive brick blocks and elegant private residences, and that the hum and bustlo of trade aud commerce resounded along the wharves and levees, indeed, every body appeared to be busy aud rushed about with a rapidity that plainly showed that the business men of Cairo do not allow the grass to grow under their feet. It Is emphatically a busluess city; the merchants aro liberal, active, and enter prising men, and fully understand the secret of making trade. Although pot containing, by a couple of thousands, as many Inhabitants as Decatur; yet they liberally sustain two Ant-class dally newspapers, both of which are well filled with prof table advertisements. i i On Wednesday morning, about 10 o'clock, the asociatloa'Membled at the Athuueuiu for the traaeaction of busi ness. We were called te order by our go-ahead President E. H. Grigjrt, of the Itockforel 'Reglater.' HelntroaucedHon. John H: Oberly, otiheCalro JBalletin,' who ki the double capacity f brother editor a mayor,' weTeeme the associ ation la a most sensible, well-timed and eloquent manner. Ho briefly reviewed the history of.Cairo, stating, in, a, clear and lucid manner the dlracuU!es that had to be met and overcome before the city reached Its present Importance, and in conclusion, tendered us the hospital ity of the city. Considerable bHslaese, was discussed aud acted upon, which being only of Interest to the craft is not of suOlcleat general Interest to authorize Its' publica tion. We,re,Indebte4.tothe p.ditowT,of the Itrfor'many.cQtJrtesles'extfthded'to ns L-our star; The latch string was c durln out all the time, and we enloved several pleasant moments In the Times' and 'Bulletin' eelabllahntepji r Having received au Invitation from the city authorities, embarked on the steamer Gen, Anderson for , And a pleasaut ride of some thirty min utes landed the party at' their destina tion. Here; we were met by ,tha corny mlttee .of reception, beaded by Mayor. Casey, who, In a few appropriate re raarksrextehded on the part' of Mound City, a hearty welecpaeRto lu guests. After brief responses by Messrs. Griggs and Oberly, the party adjourned frou the boat to the city, escorted by the re ception commjttee. i i , Commodore Walks, an able and ac complished officer, threw.open the gates of the navy yard for Ihe Jospectlou of the visitors. The officers aud men. by their courtesy and uaremlttiag atten tion to every one alike, won the highest ftralse from all, aud well maintained the lonorof the uniform they wear. A trip through,. the monitors, was in Itself, a decided featuroof tbo occasion, and well worth the visit. After viewing tho yard a visit was paid to the national cemetery, north of the city. The hospitality of the city wan un bounded aud prerase. All seemed to vie In paying attention to the editors and laale of the party. We easnot be deemed in vidioue J n statins; that' May or Casey and Captaiu.Hambletou enter tained the guests with prineely munltl oeuce, aud that they proved themselves true goutlemen who will be remembered gratefully by all composing the party. The banquet served up was ono of the iluestaudmostdellclous woeverpartuuk, aud In addition to tho sumptuous viand we also enjoyed' "a feaBt of reasou and a How of soul." Many toasts were road and responded to, aud Joy and hilarity marked the hour At ten o'clock we returned to Culro, all highly pleased with the good treatment wo had experienced at the hands of the genial and generous Mound Citiyltes. . To quiet a crying baby It is ouly tic cessary to prop It up. with pillows, If it cannot sit alone, and smear its flngi-n with thick molasses, then put hull u dozen feathers into Its hands. It will bl and pick off the feathers from out hand to the other till it falls asleep. When ii wakes up more molasses aud more feathers. This reoelpt is worth thou Bands of dollars.

Robert J. Walker has written a letter which fills about twelve columns of tho Washington 'Chronicle,' on the proposed annexation of NovaScotia to the United States. He declares that the feeling of the United States is strongly in favor of her admission as a State of the Union; that tho terms would be made favorable, and that the probable effect on the wel fare of Novr Scotia would be highly ad vantageous, He says that "there is no area of tho world, not larger than that of Nova Scotia,, on which the Creator has lavished such bounties aud such wonderful natural advantages. Taklug the combination of all these advantages, there Is no State of this Union, nor of tho world, Uiat, in proportion to her area, can oojnpare with Nova Scotia. FOR RENT. 'POR. Btr!fT.
