Quite a crowd of southern people passed through here, yesterday morning fromChiengo-aiid bound for home. Most of them spent their time, while hero, in pur chasing such eatables as the j might need on tho balance of their trip.

We aro informed by City Clerk Foley that a popular resident of the Fourth ward, with whom Mr. Dave Barry has an intimate acquaintance, has como to the sensible con clusion that it Is not well for a man to be alone, end that since one of tho fair daugh ters of Eve has already said "yes," the Fourth warder will engage the 6CMlces of tho priest in the near future.

Our readers will remember that tho Cairo and Evansville packet company's new steamer Dexter was burnt, a little above Evansville not very long ago, while coui'ng dowii the river. The packet company hns just set tled with the insurance company lor tho loss of the steamer, receh'ng $14,300 and the hull of the boat. The hull is to he put iu order for tho reception of the Bell's machinery, end the boat put in the Cairo and Evansville trade as speedily as possible. "Between the Acts" cigarettes, whole sale and retail, at F. Korsmeycr's. A few days ago himdbi''s were thrown about our streets which adverted, over the names of Walter W'lkerson, John Sides and Pink McA";ster, that the col ored people would, on the 21st inst., gather in St. Mary's park for general enjoyment. As before said, yesterday was the day fixed upon, but owing to the fact that the "windows of heaven" were open the greater portion of tho day the colored peo ple wisely remained at home. About two o'clock p.m., yesterday, a team of mules belonging to Hal'iday Bros., and used in hauWig bran, flour, etc., from the mills and warehouse to the wharf boats, was being driven over the stage leading into the second stoiy of HalUday and Phillips' wharf boat, when ono of the mules became obstreperous, and, shoving tho other off of tho stage, fell on op of him, both becom ing entangled in the harness. The wagon remained on tho stage uninjured. By cut ting the harness the animals were extricated f'oui their painful position, and, be'ng placed upon their pins again, were found to be all right. The way the money goes from the pockets of mechanics and laborers can be discovered by investigating the beer saloon business on the question of receipts. On Saturdays the beer saloon keepers gener ally change numbers of five dollar bills, the niechar-'cs and laborers being paid off on that day. On Monday the five dollar bills are gone, and silver dollars are pre sented. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays half dollars are received, ami on Thursdays quarters, while on Fridays dimes end nickels are brought in and credit is asked for. Tho famous Salwater beer, kept con stantly on ice, will be found on tap at Chas. Pflfferling's ou the corner of E'ghth end Commercial to-day. '1 his beer is of the rarest aud mo-t wholesome quality. It is cooling to the ni'id end body, gives origin ality of thought and clearness of m'nd to the politician, lawyer and professional men generally. It cheers the sad, revives the old, inspires tho young, makes Weaiiness forget his toil, nnd Fear her danger, and opens a new world when this, the present, palls. Try it Tho boiler formerly used by A. Mackio & Co. in their corn mills, and which lived through the fire, was loaded upon a cart and an attempt made to transport it to Mr. Smith Torrance's boiler shop lor repairs, yesterday. Six horses were hitched to tho cart, and when they had proceeded as far as Eighteenth street with it they became balky. Numerous aud various were the plans to make them complete the trip, sug gested by the curious crowd, but, though somoofthem were actel upon, tho mules refused to go. About an hour was spent in the vain attempt. We did not stay to see tho end. If there ever was a time :,i tho history of business when advertising could bo made to pay, that time is surely just now. Tho vast crop of wheat is being turned into money with ninrvolous speca, nu 1 a good proportion of that money will go for dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes, carpets, watches, jewelry, books, piunos, organs, pictures, groceries, furniture, cutlery, hardware, millinery, clc. etc. The moral of all this is, that those who have any of these things, or any other things to sell, and can bring tho matter before tho people iu tho most favorablo and speediest light, will reap tho fruits of their enterprise ut tho expense of tho slower going neighbors. . Tho grocery store of Alderman Pettis, on tho corner of Twenty-eighthVtreet and , Commercial, was night before Inst entered by a thief or thieves, ond believing him self or themselves owaer or owners of all ho or they surveyed, appropriated to bis or their uso ono hundred end flf: pounds of fine bacon and then, 'n tho light of tho full moon took himself or themselves to somo safe retreat. Although sonic effort has been made by the ever ilgllent officer, Lally and oflurs, to discover the where abouts of tho thief or th'evcs no cluo has been found to him or them and it is our private opinion, publicly expressed, tho prospect for never biinging him or them to justice is very Jino and large. Somo time ago Mr. A. J. Curie placed a fine blooded horse into Mr. Joe Clark's pasture in Missouri. The m'tnal made its escape 60on after and was lost. Upon dilligent search and inquiry it was found that a fanner had captured tho horse, used it iu the plow and killed it, or, at least, the horse died while in his possession. Mr. Carle sued the farmer for the value of the horso pnd received judgment from Judge Harker in this county. The o'her party was dissatisfied with the dec'sion and appealed to Missouri law. The suit was accord'tigly taken there ond lias re cently como off. The court there susta'n ing Judge Barker's decision. Mr. Carle received judgment for $318.00 which, together with all the costs, will make 'ho sum that the defendant will have to fork over, about five hundred dollars. The follow 'ig dispatch to the St. Louis Republican, dated at Springfield, is of interest to our Democratic and Repub lican readers alike: "II n. I). Gillhatn, Gen. Lewis Parsons, A. Orendorff, C. C. Brown, Chas. Ridgely and Hon. J. II. Oberly, members of the' Democra.'c state executive committee, have been engaged all day in making out a campaign route for speakers from home and abroad, commenc ing September 1. The design is to open with a grand mass meeting at some cen tral point in each congressional district, and follow these meetings with coun.y mass-meetings at eveiy county seat rnd principal town. The assignment is not complete, but your correspondent is ad vised that the committee have arranged for the most thorough canvass ever made by the Democratic poriy in Illinois. Among other prominent speakers who have signi fied their intention to assist in the canvass are Hon. Thos. Bayard, John Kelly, John W. Forney, and Wade Hampton." The News ot last eveuing publishes an item intended to justify the broad and un truthful assertion always made by ignor ant and boastful Republicans that the lie publican party saved the Union. In order to gain its point it proceeds in this case, as it has done in others, to grossly misrepresent facts. It seems to be the highest ambition of tho editor of the New s to serve the Republican party, aud this, too, without any regard to the character of tlio means used in the accomplishment of his purpose. We had pictured him as a man of brains and prin ciple who would not condescend to a falsehood, not even to serve his own personal interest, much less to further the interests of any politiaal organization, or to ruin another. But we fear that we must abandon our ideal as a fraud spurn our sweet dream as a hallucination, and relight our little lan tern to continue our painful search for an honest man amoug Republican newspaper men and office-holders. Would that wo could believe him to be only mistaken, we would then still rejoice at his innocence, but he is (or ought to be) too intelligent for that. But enough ot this. The item to which we refer gives the soldier vote of Ohio, Penn., Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan and Califor nia. It gives the total number of ' soldier votes" of these states cast ia 1364 as 129, 572 and says that only 23,347 of this num ber were Democratic votes. The editor comments upon these figures as follows: "These figures would seem to indicate that for evey Democrat in the army there were about four Republicans.'' The News man appears to be, to say the least, either natur ally obtuse or willfully obtuse. But we we believe that ho is neither. It is bad enough to take it for g.'ented that all those who cast their votes m those states at that time for the Republican were Republicans; for mnny Democrats voted w ith them because they were for tho war aud the Union, which were the chief issues before the people in that campaign; it is bad enough to name tho vote iu only six states, all of which ure, and have been ovcrwhelmingly Republican and which must therefore of necessity have furnished more Republican than Demo cratic soldiers, but, to take a list of tho lit tle batch of men that these states furnished, throw their respective members into col umns, Htriko a total of a little 139,572 men, showing that only twenty per cent, were Democrats, and then exclaim with a victor ious air that "these figures indicate that for every Democrat in the entire urtny there were about four Rcpulicans this, we say, is too glaring a blunder to be excused. If the editor will search for the truth he will find that "the nrmy," tlio Union aimy,we menu was not composed of 129,572 men, but of about 2,000.000 men ; and, wo venture to say that if "the army" not 9. litth) handl'ullof it taken from a few of the Republican states, but tho entire union aiimy, is subjected to this analysis, the percent c of Democrats will bo found very respectable nnd tho Republicans will have no reason to crow. But I it should be also considered that many of tho Union Democrats refused to vote at all, either ono way or tho other. In conversa tion with Mr. Burnett, who has been tn tho Union army, we learned that company B., Oth Michigan, of which ho was a member, and whoso officers were Gen. Geo. H. Thomas.called the "savior of tho army ;" Col. McKay, of Texas; Capt. Barlow; Ad. Gen. Flint, ond Gen. Von Schroedor, all the offi cers ond two-thirds of tho men, wero Demo crats, nearly all of whom refused to vote either way. We append the following from the official records for the perusal of whom ever it may concern: From April 15,1801, to the close ot tho war, Missouri, a slave stats, fu-nished the Union army 199,1 1 1 troops.

FAU'S AND FIGURES. WHICH WII.LTUOVE HEAVY READING TO THE KOMANTIC MIND, BIT IMEKEsTINli TO MANY Of OL'H UEADEHS. Glancing over the statement of property assessed in Alexander county, for the year lSO, we discovered some ficts which will prove interesting to the readers of Tue BlXLETIN. Of improved lands, Alexander county contains 20, 470 acres and these are valued at $205,273 or, on. an average, $7.75 per acre. This shows that there are a less number of unimproved lands in this county th in any other in the district, but its valuation is higher than that of Jackson. Johnson, Massac,Pope or Williamson counties. Of un improved lands this county has 82.324 acres and their average value per acre is given at $2 14. The total number of acres in the county, improved and unimproved, is 103, 800. ' The number of improved and unim proved town and city lots in the county are 7,702 and their average value per lot is given at $144.75. Of improved lota there are 18.j. ind these arc valued at $154.25. The unimproved lots, which are .1,907 in number, are valued at $47.55 per lot The total value of all property assessed in the county $2,031,019. The number ot horses which enjoy life in Alexander is 1,305 and $27.29 is what they are valued at a piece. Of cattle there are 2,930 and these are valued at $133 a head. Of mules and asses 735 have their being here and the value of these per head is $32.31. Of sheep there are 1,125, and of hogs, 5,097. Sixty-live fire proof safes aro to be found iu tho county aud these aru valued at $10.23 a piece.

Alexander county has more pianos than any of the ten counties which comprise this district, except Randolph county. Alexan der has 127 pianos and Randolph 131. But it appears that our pianos arc of a bet ter quality than are those of Randolph county, since ours are ass ssed at $74.02 apiece and those of Randolph arc assessed at only $44.02 apiece. Of melodeons and organs we have only 23 an J they aro valued at $27.00. Merchandize, $138,243: Material and aud manufactured articles, $0,488. Manufacturers' tools, implements and machinery, $103.15. In these Alexander county is ahead of all other counties in the district, except two. These two aro Union and Williamson counties. Tho assessment on agricultural tools, implements and machinery Alexander county shows up less than any county in the district, except Pulaski county, the assessment on those Particles in that county beiug $3,354 and Alexander county $10,300 In regard to tho assessment of gold and silver pinto and plated wnro our county "takes the cako" of any In tho district, as it I does also iu diamonds and Jewelry.

MINOR MISDEMEANOR-n Night before last a colored man entered tho bagnio situated somewhere on hell's half acre, inhabited by Julia Jones and EmmaNiirhton and yesterday morning left the place a sudor and wiser inau. Ho caused the arrest of the two women named, charging them with stealing twelve dollars out of his pocket, wh'le he was asleep, and had them brought before Justice Olmsted. The women took a change of venue to Squire Comings and wero ucquitted by him. There was one other case one of less consequence before the Squire, but lie having failed to furnish us with the notes, our readers will blame him and not us for the non-appearance of the particulars of the case. Too following were the cases before Justice Olmsted yesterday: Agnes Smyth, arrested by Officer Lally, charged with disorderly conduct, was fined live dollars and cost. John Reynolds, was arrested at the cor ner ot Fourth street and levee after mid night by Officers Schuckers and Hogan, t ight before la.it. Ho was tried for va grancy and fined $ 0 and costs and w as sent to the city jf'l for fifty-six days for non-payment. Two white women were arrested for abusive language and were also before Jus tice Olmsted. The guilty one of the two, was one Katie Cooper and she was assessed five dollars and cots.

We hear of men' rights, women's rights boys' rights, girls' rights; who will take up the pen in defense of babies' rights? Ba bies certainly have some rights which arc loo frequently denied them. One which is the right to it's own mother's care and su pervision. The mother may not be strong enough to hold the child or carry it out for it's airings all through its months of helplessness. Very often it is much better for both mother and child that the help of a strong, healthy nurse is secured to assist in the care of the babes; still, no matter how worthy of trust we may consider a nurse or servant, a babe who's lifelong hap piness may depeod on the way it's baby hood is passed is too precious to be given unreservedly to her care. One very hot August day not very long since, as I was enjoying the grateful shade from tho tierce noonday sun, on my own cool piazza, I was startled by the pitiful wail of a babe. Upon looking up I saw an elegant baby carriage wheeled by a colored nurse cornitTg down the street while the poor little victim I can call it nothing else) iuside of the perambulator was writh-in-', sobbin''. aud moaning in its discomfort. Stepping to the gate I called to the nurse to stop, and releasing the little creature trom its nest oi not pa- lows I took it in my arms, carried it in the shade soothed, fanned and comforted1 it until with a sweet smile on its beautiful, innocent, face it diopped to sleep on my bosom. "Whose chill is it," I enquired of the nurse, who had dropped in a chair and was fanning herself Igorously. "Mrs. ,' she replied. "Is that possible"! exclaimed. She lives fully a mile from here. Surely you were not going to carry the child all that distance through this blistering sun, ana uoes mo motner Know mat . .. i" r 1 1,, you nave U so lar ironi nmnoi were my eager questions. "Oh, she docs not care where I take it so I take good care of it. She is not afraid to trust me !" Can It be thought that a mother could be so de ceived in a nurse, or is she culpably care less of tho welfare and comfort of tho innocent creature God has given to her care? Ah! no wonder so many little cherubs change their dainty dresses for their tiny shrouds while yet iu their helpless infancy. Another right that babies aro olteu denied is the right to be alone. A healthy babo coolly and loosely dressed, judiciously fed aud frequently bathed will bo good-natured and happy if it is not nursed and fondled too much. I have seen a sweet baby lying in its little' crib looking at its hands, cooing Hiid crowing to itself in just tlio sweetest baby fashion, when in would come some one, snatch it up, smother it with kisses, bounce and jump it up and down until its tranquillity and good nature was completely destroyed; then those un reasonable people would wonder what was tho matter with baby that it is so restless and uneasy... After a babvs wants aro sup plied it Bhoiild bo allowed" to quietly sleep, rest and grow, instead of keeping it forever in motion, and wantonly destroying Its peaco and contentment. How can wo ex pect a babe to bo otherwise than uneasy, nervous and fretful, when it Is wildly caught up every hour in tho May. bounced and trotted and petted until it is thoroughly out of sorts? How would fathers and mothers endure the martyrdom to which they allow the babies to bo subjected? I. A. M. Cairo, 111,, Aug. 81, 1880. .l - V,: .!, : '
