Cairo has been sealed book to Ballard,
and ballard has been TO Csiro b. for

into that county, And rather than drown
In swamps the farmers have patronized
Paducah. But this difficulty has been
obviated, and we have now . most ex-
oellent road from Willow Greek to Bland-
ville-a road which the enterprise OF
some of our live citizens secured, and
which does now, and will still more in
the future, contribute q great deal to the
business of the city. In company with
Messrs. Taylor, Halliday Cunningham
and Williamson, we, drove over por-i
ton of the road last Thursday, and found
it to be In excellent condition. The men
who constructed II were experts at the
business, and are deserving Of all praise.
But there is about q mile OF road, be-
tween the ferry-landiDg and the foot Of
the bluff, that Is almost impossible.
"Indeed tits not passable, .

of men are buslly at work on this part Of
the road, and will soon have 1t I'm good
condition. When this result is secured,
Cairo will soon obtain all the trade of the
richest part of Ballard, and the men who
have forwarded this enterprise, and, in
deed, the entire city, will be greatly
benefited by ii. We regret to say that
certain csptious citizens, who allow only
a cent or two escape from their clutches TO
forward public enterprises, at long inter-
walls, will reap some Of the business har.

will furnish to our hand; but prosperity,

MILITARY PREPARATIONS IN EURoPE.-A
military correspondent of the London Times
gives picture Of the present actual stage of
military preparation in Europe, which shows
that it is Z" without parallel in the world. 3"
Five continental nations have five and a-half
millions of men either ready to march to-mor-
row or to follow at short intervals These are
the forces of the tirst-class continental powers,
and do not include Great Britain, Spain Por-
tugal, Turkey, Greece, Belgium, Holland, or
the Scandinavian nations. This immense num-
Der, moreover, only embraces the more active
elements, and not the outsiders, who, it is con-
sidered, would be pretty certain to be called on
if war should last two or three years, a con-
tingency which would swell the sum, accord
ing to the estimate of the Times, to ten mil
lions armed men, Five millions and a-half of
men already withdrawn from the work of pro-
ductive industry, with the possibility, in the
event of war, of the horde of consumers being
swollen to ten millions.
