' tf A large plateful of nicely cook craw fish, in tho window of tho European hotol of Messrs. Bowers & Barbec, attracted much attention and mado many a mouth water yesterday afternoon. Thero is an assorted stock of goods next to Gross' saloon, on Washington avo., which has to bo sold, on short order, regard less of cost. Small dealers and familcs would do well to examine. 3t A twenty-four quart crate of straw berries which arrived from Arkansas yes terday afternoon brought six dollars. They were retailed at thirty-five cents per box, each.box being supposed to contain a quart, of course Mr. O. M. Alden recieved them. The averago thermometer at twenty one different points in tho northwest ac cording to yesterdays afternoon's report was sixty-six degrees above zero the highest be ing seventy-eight, at Dodgo City, and the lowest, forty-six, at Bismarck. Hero it stood at seventy. Rain was reported from three places; Chattanooga, 11-100; Shrevo port, 1-100; Bismarck, 2-100. Mr. Geo. E.

The news item comcB to ub that "Mrs. Geo. Clinton Smith, of Springfield, 111., is compiling a female hymn book." Wo never saw a female hymn book, but presumo it will bo a good thing. Tho old fashioned male hymn book is too much addicted to chewing tobacco and swearing for attend ance at church scrvico, .anyhow. A few days ago Chief Myers received a dispatch from tho sheriff of Carroll county, Tenn., asking him to arrest "a ne gro, six feet tall, wearing a checked shirt and gray jeans pants." Wednesday the chief arrested a fellow answering tho de scription given and placed him in jail, where ho now lies awaiting "extradition.1 The chief has written tho sheriff of Car roll county informing him of tho capture. A warrant was sworn out yestorday for tho arrest of Wm. Scott, proprietor of "Scott's Congress," charging him with keep ing a gambling house, Tho trial was set for two o'clock yesterday afternoon in Jus tice J. II. Robiuson's court. At tho ap pointed hour Mr. Scott appeared in court ready for trial, but his accuser failed to keep his appointment. The case was ac cordingly dismissed. The Ohio river rose seven at this point during tho twenty-four hours ending at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, at which hsur it marked thirty feet seven inches on the gaugo. At points above changes were qb follows for tho same period of timo: Chattanooga, full of six inches; Cincinnati, rise of two feet seven inches: Louisville, rise of two inches; St. Louis, rise of throb inches; at Quincy tho latter river has been rising very rapidly within the last few ditys no fears uro entertained that tho Iovoob will give way. , Some time ago a negro was indicted for grand larceny by the Nashville grand jury. Tho negro, whoso name was Virgil Burnett, learned of the action, left tho city ami came to Cairo where he was known as Guy Holland. About a month ago Chief MyerB received a dispatch from tho mar shal of Nashville, giving a partial discrip tio.n of the negro and asking that ho bo arrested. List Sunduy tho chief espied the negro on Ohio levee, arrested him and notified tho Nashville officer who canio down during thu first of this week and took liis man back. At tho recent charter election in Spring field, thu general incorporation law was adopted on the samo day tho vote was tuken for the new city officers, On account of the adoption.of tho general law, tho in cumbents then in offico claimed that they were entitled to hold until their successors wore elected and qualified under tho gen eral law. The case was taken Into tho circuit court, and Thursday Judge Seano do cided that tho candidates rcceiviugtho highest number of votes at tho lato election are entitled to bo declared elected nod to hold tho offices until tho next regular elec tion in 1883.. Tho Illinois legislature is locked over tho Republican apportionment scheme Republican members have absented them selves in such numbers as to disable the party, nnd tho Democrats are using this op portunity to prevent the passago of tho Republican bill. Iu view of tho fact that tho bill purposed to be passed by tho Re publicans is very unjust to the Democratic party throughout tho state, in that it gives that party, which cast forty-five per cent, of the votes of tho state at the last presidential election, only twenty-six per cent, of the representation in tho state legislature--in view of this attempted outrngo upon tho people of tho state, tho Democrats ore do ing the peoplo a'servico and are only do ing their duty in preventing the passugo of tho bill as long as they can. It would booiu to bo in order to pros ccutoto tho full extent of the law some of tho negroes who are known to have been guilty of tho crime of concealing cases of small pox or varioloid within their families or houses. Tho ordinances are ex plicit on this point and their violation at this time isdangcroU3 and should bo vigor ously met. Tho negro woman on Twen tieth street, who had nearly recovered before she was known to have the (liscaso may, liko tho woman found with it on Thirteenth street yesterday, been tho cause of circulating tho gorms of the diseaso among a number of her ncro friends or relatives, who in turn communi cate them to others, both white and black. The prosecution of ono or more of these secret contagion circulators would proba bly have a beneficial effect. Several fine cowb belonging to different citizens have of late disappeared, and as the animals were in the habit of coming home regularly and can now nowhero bo found, tho impression has very naturally gained ground that they were stolen and killed. This impression is strengthened by tho fact that thefts of this kind havo been ot fre quent occurrence in the city and havo been very nearly traced to tho perpetrators. Evi dence is now in tho possession of tho offi cers which points strongly at certain in dividuals who, it is belived, havo for years mado a systematic business of catching up, killing and selling, in tho most expedi tious manner, fine cows, without tho knowl edge and against tho consent of tho owners thereof. But their littlo gamo will prob ably soon be up, and they will find them selves in close quarters surrounded by prison walls, etc. Soveral uew cases of varioloid were discovered yesterday afternoon. One on Thirteenth street, one on Eleventh street and one on Tenth street, all between Wash ington avenuo and Walnut street. The first named is a ncgress, living on the north side of tho street, near the centre of tho block. Sho had been in tho employ of Mrs. D. Arter, on Tenth street, as cook ; and when bIio was taken with tho disease, she was too mindful of her pecuniary inter ests and too careless of the lives of those with whom she camo in daily contact to notify any ono of her dangerous condition. It was not until after sho hod communi cated the deadly disease to Mrs. Arter and her littlo eight year old grandchild, which is living with her, that the truth was learn ed. Sho is now confined to her homo and made to conform to strict quarantine regu lations. Mrs. Arter had but a very light attack and has about recovered. Her littlo grandchild is still confined but has also but a mild form ot tho disease. Tho Ele venth street case is a negro child, living near the city jail. All premises havo been placated and subjected to tho usual restric tions, It is desiroablo that Cairo young men should organize a baso-ball club; one which can be a.credit to tho city and estab lish a reputation for ability. There will very likely boa number of clubs in tho city before the season passes away, but they.will bo composed mostly of juveniles whose presence as clubs will hardly bo known beyond thoir own circlo and whoso knowledgo of tho "manly sport" is barely sufficient for thoir own amu.susiont. In former years Cairo had clubs which could call out and entertain tho public, and which were known and envied by a!l cur neighboring towns. Sucli a club, composed of young athletes who lovo tho sport and would take pains to become perfect in it and make a reputation in it, is what wo want. Such a ouo should be orgauizod at oucu in order that it may bo up in practice with tho clubs of our neighboring villages of Charleston, Paducah, Anna and St. Louis. The meeting which is to bo held at Mr. Harry Walker's, Sunday afternoon will prob ably result iu the organization of such a ono. A club organized under tho auspices of Mr. Walker a year ago was a good one, "layiug out" tho clubs iu several of the vil lages uloro said. Tho new National Guard Armory at Seventeenth and Pino streets, Ht. Louis, is now completed and will bo ready for tho formal opening beginning May 8th. This superb structure, tho largest and best of the kind west of New York City, occupies, ft space 200 x 109 feet, is three stories in height, and is built in the most substantial manner throughout, It will bo occupied jointly by tho 1st and lid regiments of in funtry, Company A, light cavalry, and Bat tory A, artillery, the entire two lower floors being used by these several branches of .tho service. Tho upper floor is ouo largo room or hall, 101 x 101 feet in area, which will bo used fur regimental and ba- tallion drills, or for public entertainments when desired. A truss roof, CO, feet 'from the floor, leaves this grand hall without a pillar or obstruction to freo movement. It is designed tomuku tho opening ceremonies of a character. to correspond with tho build ing. On tho evening of Monday, May 8th, prominent ladies of St. Louis, to tho num ber of over JlOO, will open tho festivities with a grand military fete, entitled an Historical Encampment, which will con- tiuug every evening and Thursday after noon until Friday, May 12th inclusive. Sat urday flight, May 13th, will bo marked by Calico ball. An exchange makes tho following sensible remarks which are as applicable here as in any other town and more so than in msny others: "Thero is a class of per sons in this world, by no means small, whoso prominent peculiarity is whining. They whino because they arc poor, or if they arc rich they have no health to enjoy their riches; they whine because they havo no luck and others' prosperity exceeds theirs; they whino because some friends havo died and they aro living; they whino because they have aches and pains because they whino. . They whino no ono can tell why. Now a word to those whining per sons: First, stop whining it is no use fretting, complaining, fault finding, and whining. Why, you aro the most deluded persons ever lived 1 Do you know that it is a well settled principal of physiology and common sense that theso habits aro moro exhausting to nervouB vitality than almost any other violation of physiological law? And do you know that life is pre.tty much as you make it? You can make it bright and sunshiny, or you can make it dark and shadowy. This life is mado only to discipline us to fit us for a far higher and purer state of being. Then stop whin ing and fretting and go on your way re ioicing." An Indiana mob has an expeditious and effective method of rebuking courts and juries. They do not hold peaceable, orderly mass meetings in a public hall, and make speeches and pass resolutions. That method of expressing their feelings is en tirely too tnme for them. Nor do they, liko tho peoplo of Alexander county and Ballard county, allow criminals to be ac quitted in the face of evident guilt, with out making some demonstration of dis pleasure. At Orecnsburg, Ind., a few nights ago, they hanged to a maplo treo near the jail a man who had been acquitted by a jury of complicity in an assassination, but as a chance to try such cases. So many guilty criuiiuals escape lately, that there is a growing contempt for tho courts in criminal cases, and tho failure of juries to convict tho guilty is in large measure responsible for tho prevalence of lynching. Nor are juries altogether responsible. Tho law affords criminals too many loop holes for escape. The prisoner is given every possible advantage,' and the prosecution none. All this is dono on the just principle that it is better. that ninety-nine guilty men should escape than that ono innocent man should be convicted, but the principle is altogether too lax in its application! No just rights or rules should bo abolished, but some amendments ought to be made in order that convictions of tho guilty can bo easier and surer. Thu Sparta Plaimlealcr says: "If new narrow gaugo roads are Boon finished from Toledo to St. Louis and from Cairo to tho capital of Mexico, tho St. Louis & Cairo will havo a grand opportunity to build it Bclf up as an important liuk in tho railroad system. But if it is as slow about making use of its opportunities as it has been in moving tho shops, it will bo left in tho lurch and sink into insignificonco. Already sonic dissatifaction has been manifested by tho donors to tho shop fund because the company is so slow in its movements. If tho railroad company does.not begin work soon, amovcrwill bo mado to withdraw tho oiler from tho narrow gaugo and donato tho fund to somo other enterprise." Ilayo patience a littlo while longer, good Plain dealer. Tho narrow gaugo railroad com pany is a naturally slow moving con cern, and being bo, it has lostjsevoral op portunities to increase its wealth and extend its business. Had it not been a slow mov ing concern it would not havo allowed tho water to interrupt its traffic with Cairo for a mouth or more every year, thereby loos ing ovor threo thousand dollars per week; and it would not have been involved bo long in difficulties with tho city council of Cairo. And its failure to "move" promptly iu theso things probably caused a failure of the purposed connection between its road and tho Texas narrow gouge for St. Louis, which connection has recently been con cluded with the Illinois Central railroad company. But it is probable that tho company has learned something from its past experience and will be moio cuorpctic now. Give tho company a chanco to re cover from the.disastrous effects of its past inactivity und bad management, then if it doesn't come to terms with tho peoplo of Sparta let loose upon it. The present abnormally high price of beef iu this city and elsewhere is tho sub ject of somo comment aiming - consumers. The causes for this does not lie with tho butchers; their profits are not only no moro than usual, but even loss and they are put to much trouble and expense to procure good beef.

These were chiefly the younger animals, they being least able to bear and survive the exposure, and the loss thus fell among the very class of cattlo which come into the stato in the fall. It is, reported that $30 per head was paid about a month ago jn Montana for two-year-olds to be taken upon ranches where tho destruction had been the most severe. Also a large immigration of last year caused a much larger demand for cattle to Btock new farms, which was a further drain upon tho available supply. 2 Tho scarcity ot corn in many sections and its high price every where, has prevented a great many cattle from .being fed into killing condition. Thero were thus fewer to market, and those that were marketed cost more to fit them for tho hands of tho butcher. The number of animals that were kept waitiug for grass feed was sufficiently lurgu to make a declino in prices probably when they como freely on tho market a few weeks hence. 3. From New Year's day to date our ro ceipts of cattle aro larger thuu for tho cor responding time iu 1881 ; but during tho last threo or four weeks this is reversed, and tho smaller supply is met by an in creasing demand for export of animals and meat. Fivo or 'six thousand animals now leave our shores weekly for Europe Thero is recently on increased demand to supply tho manufacture of canned bctf. Two now factories havo sprung up in Chicago during the past few months. Tho growing demand for canned meats is possibly connected with tho falling off in tho export movement of pork products.
