Tiiey (iuarr n '" o It strikes us that a largo portion of the very considerable numbor of persona within tho dominion of Undo Samuel, who Insist Hint Cairo Is tho very float arid center of chilli and fevers, In wilfully Ignorant. Tim experience of tho tens of thousands of troops wiio rendezvoused hero during tho recent "unpleasantness;1' tho experience of olhor thousands domi ciled here; and tho very emphatic and widely published reports of tho surgeons stationed hero in the military hospitals from tho year 1S01 to 1805, furnish evid ence of the hcalthfulnesa of this locality of which few men of even ordinary In telligence and observation, anywhere lu the country, can.be Ignorant. Independ ent of this, tho one million traveler, annually brought hith er by rail and river, could not have overlooked the perfect pictures of health to be seen on our streets, in our schools, our churches, our places of busi ness and amusement. In vlow of these factswnd strong probabilities, it requires a vast amount of charity to ascribe the reported unheahhincsi of Cairo. to ig. noranco. Niuety-ulno mon out of overy one hundred whogivo curroncy to such a report aro actuated by malice, or In. luenccd by considerations equally repre hensible. Now and then a "Hip Van Winkle" learns with attsnithmcnl that Cairo has been declared auJ proven one of the healthiest localities on the Ohio or Mis sissippi river; but many of etc will candidly confess that they had been clinging to the Impress ions mado twenty-fire years Ago, when dense forests, overshadowing .an, almost, impenetrable undergrowth, grow from river to river and to the extremo point Their eyes had been closed to the deve lopments of tho Intervening years, and Vnowing no bettor, they had. mouthed tho slander that the malignant yet mouth, to-wlt: that tho very atmos phuru of. Cairo breeds quick destruction. Truth, in this regard, hts long' been crushed to the earth; but it is now so as sorting luelf that overy unbiassed person Is apt to inquire as to tbd "wherefores" when ho hears Cairo stigmatized as un healthy. Such inquiry will Invariably dittcloso cither a pitiably ignorant person or one that Is extremely malignant, rhereare cauu-s for tnaUrla here, but there aro aho means for Its dispersion, and to these means aro we much indeb ted for tho remarkable exemption nf our citizens from those chills and' shakes, thoac fevers and quake:), so common in other low localities, llko Evamvllle and IVducali. . - - - Largo and small dolls and toy tea seta at I'.
