elegant small Havana -Old John Robinson i hero with all tho wonders of tho world. The walk in front of Kt. Patrick's catholic church is being repaired with good gravel. Every mau, woman and child seems to have made up their minds to go to tho circus to-day. A new fence is being built in front of tho residence of Mr.

E. 8. Dewey, on Fifteenth street. Tho latest break in tho 8ny levee is eleven miles below Hannibal, whore the Mississippi is seven miles in width. Mr.

John Petrie is making extensive repairs on his residenco on Walnut street, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. The front of the commission houses of Mr. William Loaegran and Messrs. Cunningham Smith, on Ohio levee, is undergoing improvement by painting, Clear and fair weather aud a slowly rising thermometer throughout the northwest was reported by Sergeant W. II.

Ray's bulletin yesterday afternoon. The Mississippi river improvement con vention meets in St. Louis to-day. A number of delegates from all parts of the coun try arrived there yesterday. A fashion letter from The Bulletin's regular New York correspondent, "Lucy Carter," appears elsewhere in this usue.

It will be interesting study for the ladies. Messrs. G. I). Williamson Co.

are having a new circular counter built near tho front of their store on Ohio levee, upon which they will display a line of tobacco and cigars. Confederate bonds have been handled and quoted at 22J.j percent, at the Frank fort Exchange during the past week. Dis patches say the demand appears to becoming from Rotterdam. Will be sold to-day for cash to tho highest bidder, the hump-backed horse, known as the "buffalo horse," owned by Sam Stick ney. Must be sold to pay feed bill.

p. B. F. Thistlewood. Steadily the Ohio river is crawling up on tho government guago at this point.

At 3 :00 o'clock p. in. yesterday it stood at twenty-two feet, four inches, being a rise of fivo inches during the preceding twenty-four hours. One of tho stages of wharf-boat No. 2 was yesterday drawn further up the levee by means of a windlass.

The rise iu the river since the wharf-boat was taken away for repairs and the stages laid down made this necessary. Painters are hard at work on the Chi cago store, at the corner of Eighth street and Commercial avenue. An attractive sign, covering nearly the entire Eighth street side of tho house, is in process of development. The Knights of Honor had a festive time at their hall on Commercial avenue last evening. The occasion was the initia tion of a new member, which was done with interesting ceremony, oysters, floral symbols, cake, etc.

Near Hoboken, N. at daylight Sun day, commenced a fight for $100 a side between Frank McGowan and Denny Lyons, with three hundred persons in attendance. Seventy-nine rounds were fought, McGowan winning. Both men were badly hurt. For good reasons the committee of so licitors for the Cairo Horse and Fair association was not out last Saturday; but will probably be out to day.

There should be no hesitation among the solid uien of the community when the committee comes around. Mr. Oyster, foreman of the public printing office at Washington, became a candidate for printer and was dismissed by Mr. Dufrees. Now Mr.

Oyster opens his shell to decry gross immoralities which have beec steadily practiced under his nose, and threatens to give names and dates next week. The steamboat owners of tho lower Mississippi Valley Texas, Alabama, Florida and Georgia repiesentin .150 steamers and capital, headed by the Morgan Line, have just commended the administration of Supervising-Inspector-Gen-eral James A. Dmnont, by a memorial to President Arthur. Those in position to know say that cot-ton-picking in Arkansas is sufficiently advanced to show that tho shortage in the crop in that State will bo fully forty per cent. There will bo but little cotton in the fields after tho 1st of November, and the bulk of tho crop will have found a market before tho middle of December.

The great show whose tents will bo pitched to-day near to Mississippi levee has tho reputation ot being head and shoulders abovo everything else on the road, in numbers and varieties of animals, in flno horses, in renowned riders and acrobats, in its trained animals, in its gorgeous street pa geant, its ring performance and in fact in every way that can bo mentioned. Tho drouth which so long prevailed was especially inimical to tho growth of that favorito edible tho cabbage. Few and puny and worm-eaten, has been our crop. But Americans, liko tailors, must have cab bage, am enterprise lias found a way to supply tho want. A telegram informs us that at Baltimore there has been an arrival of 8000 cabbages from Oldenburg in Germany.

Tho British government has concluded that it cannot scizo tho office of the Land- league organ, but can arrest the editor. Hayden, chairman of tho Roscommon town commission, has Twea Uud. In spite of tho RovornmenVs r-roclamattou, iWg0 meeting was hold nokr Coacbford aud res'o- lutions issed to pay no rent. Under tho name of the Farmer' Protectivo association the Lund league hold a secret meeting in Dublin. Governor Morgan, of New York, was uouiiuated Monday as Secretary tho Treasury, and tho Senate immediately confirmed the appointment.

Dispatches from Washington say, however, that this disposition of tho portfolio is only temporary, and that Mr. Coukling should his health allow of tho acceptance of tho placo, will follow Governor Morgan soon after tho regular session of Congress convenes. A shrewd method of keeping alive tho Land League agitation has been suggested in Dublin. It is that such of the imprisoned leaders as are members of Parliament shall resign their seats, allowing a sufficient time before new elections aro held to enable the candidates to thoroughly revive tho agitation in their addresses to constituents. Then, upon tho release of tho members now in prison, the new members can resign and permit their re-election.

The Pamell indignation meeting in Hyde park, London, was attended by over fifty thousand persons. Speeches were made fiom six platforms, among the orators being Barry, O'Donnell, and Finnigan, home-rule members of parliament, and Miss Craigen, of tho London democratic association. The names of Gladstone and Bright were greeted with groans, and resolutions were carried denouncing the attempt at forcible suppression of free speech. Hardly any police were visible. To-day being the 25th it is the last d-iy upon which Mr.

Daniel could have begun work on the writer works tinder the contract with the city. His dispatches to Engineer Thrupp and to Mr. T. W. Halliday yesterday were very emphatic in their request to begin work yesterday, in order that there might he no chance of failure to comply with the contract.

Mr. Daniel has also left funds with the City National Bank to defray the expense of carrying on such work as can be done preparatory to laying mains and building the stand pipe, and engine and pump house, etc. Grant never forgets his friends or forgives an enemy, for that matter. President Garfield, on the morning of July 2d, just before he was shot, removed from the position of Registcrof Wills for the District, Colonel Amos Webster, who once served on General Grant's staff, and named for tho place one Rumsdell, whose uamo has never been sent to the Senate lor confirmation. Grant has arranged it so that Webster is to have his old position back again, which the tenure-ot office act made it easy for the President to do, and thus the Silent Worker serves a friend and rebukes an enemy.

A hickory cane that is an interesting curiosity is on exhibition at Barclay Broth ers prescription drug store. It is covered from end to end with heads and foroi9 of birds, reptiles, and wild animals of every description, carved out with a pocket knife in a manner so true to nature that one is almost lead to doubt that the work was done in that way. The cane is the property of Dr. J. II.

Bryant, who received it recently as a present in Columbus, from J. W. Moore, who had been frequently offered ten dollars for it. It was made by a poor cripple in Hot Springs, who ekes out a tolerable living by such work. Two tramps boarded a Cairo Short Line train at Pinckneyville, Saturday, and when the conductor demanded their fare they refused to pay, claiming they hail no money, riiillips, the conductor, and a brakeman named Benson, thereupon searched the fellows and found sonic money, out of which they took the amount of fare.

The tramps left the train at DuQuoiu and complained to the authorities that they had been robbed by Phillips and Benson, and procured their arrest. Before the arrest was made the sheriff sent a telegram to East St. Louis, but ere it reached there tho accused gave bond. On his arrival at East St. Louis late Saturday night, Phillips was arrested, but as it was Hhown that he was already under bonds, he was promptly released.

Captain James B.Eads was interviewed at New Orleans on Saturday with tho following result: "What is tho present status of the ship railway project?" "It is in statu quo, awaiting tho action of the United States Congress. It will bo brought before Congress at its next session. There is every reason to beliovo that tho government will indorse tho enterprise. I have tho assurance of a great many members of Congress that they will support tho measure." "The United States government is asked to guarantee 6 per cent, dividends on of stock in tho ship railway. In consideration of this country doing go, sho is to havo tho right to fix the tolls on tho railwayand discriminate in favor of American commerce," now is tho project regarded in Europe." With great favor.

There would bo no difficulty in raising tho necessary money thcro, even without tho indorsement ot tho United States. But if this is done it bo-comes a monopoly." -Elswhero in this issue of The Bulle tin appears tho announcmcnt of Mr. Tetcr Saup, as a candidate for tho office of county commissioner in tho county election to bo held on tho otli proximo, when tho term of Mr. Btfly expires.

He is now alderman of Jho first ward in Cairocouncil, which proves that the people among whom he lives have full confidence in his ability and integrity, Being a careful and inteligent man, he would be ablo to see and understand the needs of the people of th county and not be lead into the commission of rash acts; being a shrewd, successful business man, he would be ablo to suggest and help to carry out measures of importance to the public weal, and being a heavy tax payer, both in the city and county, he has what is usually the strongest incentive to do at all times that which is for the greatest good of the people of the county.

Mr. Saup is also a courteous gentleman, which has made for him friends atnnng all classes of people, aud which insures to him a hearty support on election day. CAIRO'S WAT Kit WORKS. WDHK ON TIIKM COMMB.NCKI) YESTEKOAY. That the Cairo water works will be a reality of the near future is now evident.

Mr. Travers Daniel, tho contractor, who has been subjected to so muoh senseless malignity by thoughtless persons, who never took tho trouble to inform themselves of his intentions, telegraphed to Mr. Thomas W. Halliday yesterday morning of bis final acceptance of the city's contract, and Surveyor Charles Thrupp immediately went to wo'rk laying out tho ground upon which the stand pipe ami pumping apparatus aro to be erected, which is just abovo Thirty-eighth street, near Ohio levee. Mr.

Daniel himself will bo hero to-day or tomorrow to look over tho ground and mako arrangements for a vigorous prosecution of tho work. Tho suggestion that Mr. Daniel bo required togivo a bond for tho faithful performance of his contract can be entertained only upon tho hypothesis that tho city can loso something that sho never had. Tho city invests nothing whatever iu tho proposed waterworks; it only gives Mr. Daniel certain privileges upon condition that ho finishes tho works iu a certain way and then offers to patronize them to a curtain extent.

Mr. Daniel invests all tho money that is to bo invested; he runs all tho risks that amount to anything, and ho forfeits all tho work dono and all tho investments mado and all the privileges granted, in case ho fails to completo tho water works in the manner prescribed in ordinance No. 70. That ho will allow this to take placo that ho will begin work, invest thousnndu of dollars, pond his tlmo, and then auantion mo work is not probable. But If ho docs do this thon tho city gains whatever worK bo may havo dono at tho tlmo of tho abandon.

Binds are good things, always; a bond in this case would not have done and would not do, any harm; but can it be said with any degree of certainty that it would have done or would do, any goxl. "Much ado abut nothing" is a concise and appropriate description of this talk about a bond at this late date.
