7 RAILROAD EXTESsION.-The survey fo
e the extension Of the Miss. Central T. Il
from this city to Cairo, was completed OF
: Tuesday. The road will pass through Mi
= ian, leave Trenton about IL miles TO thu
West, and Dresden about ten miles to tho
East, crossing the Paducah road at tn,
State line, and thence to Cairo; running, al
ter passing Clifton, Ky, parallel with, ant
within about eight miles OF the Mobile anl
: Ohio road. The road il located from thii
city to Milan, and Capt. Mann with hi:
corpse will proceed to Milan next week fol
the purpose Of locating the road from that
point North. We learn that the contract
for grading will be let out on the LIST Of Ju.
ly, and that the work Of construction will
be pushed with UneXampled yigor.
NEW MODE OF COTTON CULTURE.-This
is prominently an age Of improvement in
agriculture as well as in mechanics. As an
evidence Of the spirit of progress pervading
the agricultural world, we give below a
new mode of cotton culture: panty OF
darkies were standing together on Saturday
discussing crop prospects. One complain
cd that the grass grew unusually fast, and
threatened 10 seriously damage the cotton.
An old darkey then spoke, saying: 'boys
you don't manage right. Don't you know
dat when you cuts dc grass down now de
rains will bring 1t up right straight? Now
I'll tell you how to do. Soon as dc cotton
is up good, chop it out TO a stand; den jfs
let dc grass grow until it gifts rs high as it
| can and dies. Den cut dc grass down and
it won't trouble you any more. Dis will
save power Of work and worry" This
advice was delivered and received with
great gravity.
BASE BALL.-Our city rcjeices in the pos
session Of three base ball clubs-the College
Juniors and Seniors, and the Lightfoots
Several match games have been played be-
tween the College Juniors and Seniors, re-
sulting, we learn, in favor of the Juniors.
A match between the College Seniors and
the Lishtieots was played last week; the
LightfOOts winning by four tallies. We
have been bored so much in the last year
with accounts Of base ball matches, in the
daily papers, that we have rather been dis
posed 20 look upon the thing as a lirst-cllss
nuisance. Hundreds, nay, thousands, Of !
ablo-hodied young men in the North are |
throwing their lives away, strOlling from |
city TO city, playing match games Of base |
ball; and hence, our prejudice against the |
game However, it is healthy exercise for |
bOyS, and if confined to them will do some |
good; but still we are inclined to the opin- |
ion that the old muscular and frOlicsome |
game OF skinny" would be better. But |
we presume that it is none of our business.
