llE-ANIMATINO THE HAIR. When the
hair ceaso to draw from tho scalp tho nnt
ural lubricant which is its sustenaccs, its
vitality is, ns it wcro, suspended, nnd If
not promptly attended to, baldness will bo
Ihc certain result. The one suro method
of nvoldlng such nn unpleasant catas
tropho is to use Lyon's Katu airon, which
hen woll rubbod into tho scalp, will
speedily rc-ntiimato tho hair nnd prevent
it from falling out. liosides that, this in
Imltablo rctuscitant nnd strengthener of
tho Hair nourishes nnd stimulates its
young nnd tendor libers, removes all
obstacles to their growth in the shape of
dandrufTand dirt, ntid ultimately produces
a now crop of hair, strongor, glossier, and
twico as abundant as tho old. As a hnir
dressing it is notably tho most agreeable.

Cniu. Con. Cases. Every day tho fact
becomes moro clearly nppnrent that Cairo
Hot in too close proximity to Paditcah and
Memphis. Thoso cities have so contamin
ntod Its morals that they are, wo fear, be
coming rnthor loose. Jtftt now thcro it
llttlo brcezo of excitement over a crim
con. case in which 0110 of our business men
is Involved nnd n wronged husband is
seeking tho betrayer of his peace, threat
cnlng dlro vengeance. A fow wcekt ogo,
11 husband and father, formerly and till rc
contly n citizen of Cairo, decamped with
a servant girl leaving his wifo nnd
children destitute, nnd mora recently nn
other husbnud brought distress to his
honrthstono by n similar act of perfidy,
Theso nro n fow of tho scandals now on tho
lips of our gossips only a few of them
Our preachers may learn from this the
great necessity thcro Is for nctivitv
their part tho overwhelming importance
of uniting with The JJui.i.etin in

The Municipal Canvas. Tho np
proaching contest for municipal oflicos
will bo n peculiar scrub raco if it is per
mitted to drift along ns it now is; but in
all probability n concerted effort of citi
zens who havotha woltaro of Ciiro roally
at hoart will bo mado at tho proper time.
That old element In our citv politics
which is always holding back, al ways find
ing fault with what is being dono an'd
novcr suggesting a bettor policy corino
ran(s, who fed upon tho city treasury un
til they emptied it ; "gay boys,'1 who cry :
" Give us public pap or we dio, " thoso
are busy und will bo in the Hold beforo
they arocxpoctcd nnd mnko tho public car
tlnglo with tho blare of tholr trumpsts
blowing their own praises in every saloon
in tho city. Already tho boll wcAthcr is
perambulating tho streets, and tho sound
of his calling bell, after which his flock
follow most stoadfustly, may bo heard tink
ling now on this ttreot cornor nnd now on
that bore, there, everywhere. Ho is go
ing tor an olllco again, sure. Ifo
is in great need of tlio salary. It may bo
small, but It will help.
IJut tho other side, whstaru tlioy doing 7
Littlo nothing.
And so we go.
Hut something ought to bo done. Tlio
wolfaro of tho cily demands that tho good
accomplished during tho municipal year
now closing must not be mtillilled by
mal-udministrallon during tho next year.
Tlio LansJon administration deserves woll
of tho public. II should bo continued if
possible, so that it may havo an oppor
tunity to moro fully duvulopo to consum
mate Its policy of municipal government.
It would bo woll, therefore, if tho electors
should say to tho present city ollicorg :
" Well dono, good and faithful servants;
weary not in woil doing, (lo in again,
and bclmvo bolter next year than you did
lust if you can." The tiokut of last year
is a good enough ticket for this year I
Lt us repeat.

Tho weather has been mild for tho last
few days. Tho ico gorge, which has been
moUing rapidly, yesterday gavo way and
disappeared, and tho river Is now clear
from hero to Now Orleans. Yesterday
tho ice-bound boats all steamed up to this
city, nnd tho wharf proscntod a lively
and natural appearance. The resumption
of navigation has put new life into the
market, and heavy transations in nil de
partmcnls of trado wero tho order to
day. Everything sells readily, but the
market is almost hire in consequence of
light receipts. Tho market is poorly
supplied with choice hay, higher grades of
Hour and grain, and as thoro Is a fair pro.
pect of abrisk trado with rates in favor of
shippers, correspondents nro recomended
to forward choice grades of hay, flour and
grain wiinoui iioiav. hales ol hay wero
mado to-day, at S20 for good mixed
which is nn outside figure, moro than it
would havo brought, if the market hud
been well supplied.
Bates of freight urc very unsettled. An
early reduction is anticipated.
