All around is the sky clear, and the atmosphere is dry and quiet. Mr. W. W. Wooton, formerly of this city, hut for some years a citizen of Barlow City, Ky., died suddenly last Sunday of heart disease. Jno.

Coffee & Brosa. Many of the young people of the city will learn with pleasure that at a meeting of the Myths lost night it was decided to cive a calico hop at The nalliday on the night of Thursday, the 29th instant. Justice J. II. Robinson is having a new police office fitted up in the room next to his present office It will be larger, better ventilated and better lighted. The five thousand dollar libel suit, bo gun by Mrs. McLean, of Bloomington, BgAinst the Bulletin, of that city, was de cided by the jury in favor of the latter on Saturday. The masquerade at Washington Hall last night was a fcuccess in every way. Mr. Sheets had exerted himself to make it more an affair of pleasure to those who attended than a profit to himself. The attendance was good, and the enjoyment great and general. All but one ot the sewers in the city were open yesterday evening. The excep tion was the thirty-second street sewer. That on Fourth street wos stopped up in somo way until yesterday about noon when it began to emit water at a lively rate. The water in some of the low places was falling at the rate of nearly an inch per hour yes terday. The repairs on the flood-wrecked trucks of the roads in this immediate vicini ty have been somewhat delayed by reason of the scarcity of laborers. In view of the fact that our streets have been almost con stantly full of idle strangers, this fact seems strange. The idle strangers must have some conscientious scruples against work many of them have. -A scheme is on foot to build a bridge over the Mississippi river at Grand Tower. The conditions are said to be more favorable there than most anywhere else, by reason of tho rocky bed of the river, the rock banks and the several natural piers in the river. As yet the scheme is purely specula tive and will probably never to be any thing more. The river is now nearly low enough to begin work on the Btono wsll on Ohio Levee street, below Fourteenth street. This improvement will, in connection with that to bo done by the Illinois Central company, be one of the most substantial and impor tant ever dono by the city. Mr. ncaly, the Illinois Central company's civil engi neer, is expected here in a day or two and then the work of wall building, filling and levee raising will begin. The man-hole to tho Bower on Eleventh street, near Commercial avenue, caved In some time ago, leaving a large cavity In the mi Idle of tho struct. The result was that the sewer connecting the low lots in that part of the town with tho main sewers was stopped up and drainage obstructed. Yes terday Street Commissioner Baird had men at work repairing the damage. Another similar place is on Fourteenth street, near Poplar. The St. Louis husband who "got off" the following in support of a suit for di voice from his wife, must have been a col ored Baptist bishop, or something like that, but of considerably more book-knowledge than game of his sable brothers of the cloth in "these diggins" have: WI Was Missing money nut of my Pocket I Finally had to lock My Pantoloona up Nights the Way She Would Talk about folks Was a Sin to david Crocket the Six Weeks We Ware togother it Was Come and go you Shant She Never Caled me Geo or mr Little it Was go Come or Shant." The city couucil met last night in sec ond regular session this month. A bare majority was picsoutaud the business was not of extraordinary interest. The appoint ment of clerks and judges of election in the several wards for the coming municipal election, and the adoption of a resolution to raise the new levee one foot higher and repair what little abrasions were caused during tho late flood, were the only acts of any note aside lrom the regular routine of business. "Yes, sah, I bclicbs we cullud folks ought to hab better teachers. Dey ain't one u 'era got a fust-class cetifkute. Pufesso Paka ain't got a tust-clnss certifi cate.

At Jackson, Tenn, on the 5th inst, a quiet wedding took place at the house of Mrs. Copelaud, aunt of the bride, tho con tracting parties boing Mr. C. H. Tlirupp, civil engineer on the southern division of the Illinois Central, and son of Mr. Chas. Tboupp,of this city, and Miss Ma?gie W. Bottoms, of Atlanta, Ga. No cards. Tho groom was born and raised in this city, is a very promising young man, and is hell in high esteem by all who know him here. His happy union will be regarded with pleaeure by his many friends. Postmaster Murphy has on hand a quantity of garden seeds, of various kinds, sent to him by the agricultural bureau at Washington through Congressman Thomas, for free distribution among the gardeners of this county. The seeds are believed to be of the best quality from this and other countries, gathered up by the department and sent out among the gardeners ia every county, for the purpose of testing the land and the seeds and tho climate. Gardeners and farmers should apply at once at the post-office for samples of tho seed. The seed is given free of charge; the only con dition imposed is that if the recipient uses it, be shall give it a fair test and report to the department concerning the result of his labors. A little boy named Loud, living in Metropolis, was walking down a populous street in Paducah Monday, was met by a negro named Jerre Miles, tempted by the boy's watch and chain, who, under the proteose of leading him to a hotel, took him to a lonely part of the town and shoved him into a well. The boy, in falling, caught trie negro and pulled him down also. His cries for help were heard by officers and 'citizens, who came in time to see the negro hanging on to the side of tho wall, and with his foot shoving the boy under the water. Both were drawn out and when the boy regained consciousness ho told of the negrou's devilish act. Tho latter had loft the neighborhood, but was hunted up, arrested, and barely escaped being hung by a mob. Loud Is but about sixteen years old. A day or two ago General Harris and Mr. G. W. Parrish, of Washington, and Mr. J. II. Keller, of Memphis, were at The Halliday. General Hams is vice-president and Mr. Parrish is secretary of the Pacific & Great Eastern railway company, which proposes to build and form a new line of railroad between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. They were on their way south to make a trip of inspection over the portion of tho new line that remains to be built and to hold a meeting of the principal stock-holders. Tho rood will start ir In ian territory, run clear through tho state of Missouri, cross the Mississippi rivers'. Cot ton Wood Point, and continue on its way to Norfolk, Va. The route has been laid out, and Gun, Harris said the road would cer tainly be built Boon. Yesterday again the colored school was open as usual, with teachers all at their posts, the rooms all warm rind dry, and seats nearly all empty. The only really weighty reason Elder Rix has been able to offer for this stubborn refusal of "hii peo ple" to avail themselves of the educational facilities so magnanimously provided by the whito tax-payers f thss county, is that there is no piano in the colored school. The Bchool board ought to loose no time in making good this important omission. The "common whito trash" in the Hili school have a piano, for which they paid with money obtained from exhibitions given by the scholars. In their case it would have been a palpable violation of tho school law to have paid for a piano out of the general school fund. But in the opinions of "the colored man and a brother," you know, such as Bishop Rix : and "his people," who have been objects of special legislation for a number of years, until, in their beclouded judgments, all things must exist and move with reference only to their effect upon themselves in the opinions of those, legal restrictions upon themselves don't count, and legal privileges count double. .But Bishop Rix has thrown out a bint to the board, which if taken, will very probably load to a satisfactory solution of the colored school problem. Bishop Rix is not a par agon of literary entertainments, but he has a musical bouI, and he knows that the youth ot "his people" have souls of a simi lar sort, longing for communion with the muses. If tho board will engage a min Btrel with a banjo this morniug at 9 o'clock and have him take a position in the colored school and go through the difficult per formance of such musical masterpieces as "Walk In do Middle ub de Rjad," "B ib Down fo' do Lawd is a Comin," "Gib Dese Chillun Room," "Den Swim on fo' Glory, Chillun," "Dar'll be Raizors a Flyin' in de Are," etc., etc., we feel safe in predicting that within half an hour the school would be crowded with big children and little children, and if the innovation were per sintedi n for a day or two,there would be no lunger any cause to complain ot non-attend ance. The St. Louis Railway Register of the 3d has tho following answer to stories cir culated by the cnomies of the Wabash against that company: It is safe to say positively that the unfavorable reports of late bo industriously circulated concerning the Wabash. St. Louis & Pacific have no other foundation than the malice or imagi nation of those who have fathered them. The Wabash will remain during the com ing year under-the same management as heretofore. The officers who have so skill fully guided it in the poet will continue in charge. The company earned last year more than a million more, net, than it did in 1881. It will, beyond question, cam a million and a half more in the first 6 months ot this year, and still more in the last 6 months, than during tho corresponding periods of 1882. This is so, because there is more traffic this year to be handled, and rates are adhered to. Labt year, up to May, there was no business and no rates. The company can buy all it wants to, and on the most favorable terms. Dealers are anxious to sell it upon the longest time. Already heavy purchases of steel rails and materials have been made, and during this year an unusual amount of work will be done on the track, and extensive additions niado to the equipment. The value of au article is almost always indicated by its price, and for years the people were content to pay f 3 for a genuine Livormore Slylographic pen, and the same pens are yet doing good service. The suc cess of these pens led unscrupulous persons to get up inferior imitations, which they offered at such low prices that many per sons, not understanding the difference were induced to buy them. The Livermore company therefore cut down the price of their short plain pens to $2, and short gold mounted to $2.50 each, to give everybody a chance to have the best article of the kind. You can buy thorn for that money by remitting the amount to Lewis E. Dun lap, Manager Stylograph ic Pen Co., 290 Washington street, Boston; the pen, to gether with a package of superior ink, will be sent by return mail, and the money will be at once refunded if they do not prove to be perfect and satisfactory in every respect. The Stylographic Pen Co., who manufacture the Livermore pen, is the largest concern of the kind in the world, with branches at New York, Chicago and London, Eng. The Livermoro Stylographic pen is a pencil which writes ink, never needs sharpening and never wears out, and has been adopted by over 500,000 knights of the quill in this county and abroad The Stylographic Pen Co., have recently been making great improvement ia their famous pen. Full particulars can lm ob tained by sending for circular. The assistant postmaster of Lawrence, Kansas, Mr. John Bliss, claims that St. Jacobs Oil is the best thing known for rheumatism, lameness, seres and pains ot every description. Y. M. C. AFREE READING ROOMS. On Sunday evening last a large congre gation assembled In the M. E. Church to hear what could bo said in favor of estab lishing a Y. M. C. A. in the city, with the object in view of co operating with tho Illinois Central railroad, in opening free reading rooms for the use of young men. Rev. B. Y. George introduced Mr. F. M. Crane, who has been in our city the past two months working under direction of tho stato executive committee. Mr. Crane staled the object of his mission in this city to be the organization of young men in a work for young men, with the main object of reaching railroad men and others, who by their occupation are often deprived of the privileges of the church. He then in troduced Mr. F. A. Hatch, general secre tary of the Y. M. C. A. in Kansas City, who delivered an eloquent address on "Asso ciation Works, Its Alms and Objects," and showed the importance of this kind of work in a city like Cairo. Prof. D. B. Farkinson, of Carbondalo Normal School, followed with a short address on "Distant Work" and the importance of Cairo boing made the center of association work for this end of tbo state, as Chicago is for tho other end. A nigbt meeting was held, and quite a number signified their intentions of form ing an organization. The following com- milieu was nppointcd to draft a constitu tion: Messrs. II. II. Candce, J. M.

Tbo dileront churches were well represented, and several short and earnest speeches were made in favor of the movement. The committee on consti tution reported a form and was continued to complete tho by-laws. To the same committee, with the addition ot Mr. C. Ilouse, of the I. C. H. R., was referred the matter of securing rooms for tho associa tion. The committee was ordered to ad dress a letter to President Ackerman, of tho Central railroad, to get official information as to the intention of the company in re gard to keeping a rutin conttantly in this field to take charge of tho work, and were instructed hi call another meeting imme diately after the receipt of a response. The work has now assumed a shape that will insure success. Those who have taken it in charge represent some of the best interests of tho city, and they mean business, and the railroad company mny feel certain that their actions will meet with hearty co-opeiation on the part of Cairo.
