About that Cincinnati Road.

III. V. b." writing from Chattanooga
about the above long talked of road, says: :
1t is understood that the Tennessee will
De crossed some eight miles above here,
and not Immediately at the city, as the
people had hoped. There are good points
here for crossing, but the Trustees seem to
have determined TO locate the road so that
the bridge will be several miles above the
city near the mouth Of Chickamauga creek.
BY taking this route they will strike the
Western and Atlantic road leading to At
lanta) at Boyce Station, six mics from
Chattanooga, and thus save on Georgia,
South Carolina and Florida freight full ten
miles, as it can be transferred there, and go
South without coming to Chattanooga and
oack again.
This is not exactly what the people of
Chattanooga want, as it pulls things six
miles out of the lines, but they accept the
situation with becoming grace, and will be
as liberal in donations as if the road was
located more to their notion. 1t is under
stood that the Trustees want forty acres of
ground within the city limits for depots,
&C., in addition to what has already been
donated, and they will get il. 1t il said
that they do not want city bonds, but will
lake the entire donation in lands.
To build the road and necessary side
racks from Cincinnati TO Chattanooga will
lake 5000 tons of iron. This will cost
about 81, 500,0 900. The reflection that one
fourth of the $40, 100000 voted by Cincin-
natl will iron the whole road from the Ohio
20 the Tennessee is not dismal thought
after all.
In an iron point of view the delay of the
Trustees in buying the material for the
road has been wise. Iron that one year
ago would have cost eighty-five or ninety
dollars ton, can now be had for seventy.
This alone would make a difference in the
cost of the road of three-quarters Of mill
lion of dollars.
The Roane Iron Company of this place,
through President Rathborn, has been in
communication with the Trustees in re-
gard to furnishing 10000 tons of iron for
this end of the road. The company will
not likely have serious competition for the
ironing Of this end, as they can aud will
do it cheaper than it can be done from any
other source.

THERE is a temporary depression in the
grain trade, owing 10 a marked decrease in
the demand from Europe. There has been Il
great falling off in exports, but no decrease
in the shipments to New York. The result
is an accumulation Of breadstufis in the
Eastern ports, which, # not soon relieved
by shipments Ia Europe, will seriously EN-

GERslASYis not the only State annoyed
with Church complications. Serious
troubles have grown up in Peru out Of the
Jurisdiction of the State over the clergy.
The State pays the salaries to the clergy
and claims the right 10 nominate the bish-
ops without previously consulting the
Pope. Recently, however, the clergy of
Lima have nominated new archbishop
for that see, Independent Of any action by
The civil authorities, and besides the Bish-
OPP OF Puers openly denies the authority Of
the State to interfere with him in any way.
After the manner Of Bismarck, the Gov

and the Bishop of Puers, less plucky than
he of Ledochowski, offers to resign il the
Pope will let him.

Sad But True.

How often some rude circumstance
destroys, in single moment, a friend
ship that has been nnrtured for years.
There was one who was our playmate
in the bright long ago. Together we
played upon the village square, shared
our lunch with one another, smoked in
unlS II our first cigar, and groahed in
the same measure throughout the sub
s"uue,t paroxysms. The sea Of life
cast wave upon our playground, and
swept ns from the embrace Of our boy
companions. But wherever we have
been tossed. in sunshine and in stormy
weather, we have fondly borne in our
heart of hearts the image of Onr iboyisll
playmate. We have cherished his
memory as a sacred thing, and kept it
green and bright to gladden. our eyes
in weary moments. Had he come to
lis any time, ragged and hungry, we
would have clothed and fed him,
would have taken him in our arms and
thanked heaven for the opportunity of
proving our love.
Monday he came, but oh, how differ
ent from what we could have wished.
All smiles and store clothes, lie APP
preached orr desk, and as our heart
went joyfnlly out to meet him, he
pulled forth a canvassiug book, and
spoke: 81 am an agent for the sale of
that wonderful work, 'Ten Nights in a
Bedroom; or the Mysteries of a Chi
cago Boarding-house.'" A book agent! !
We sank back in our seat and engaged
in sad ietrospection, while the friend
of our childhood, now changed to the
friend of our manhood, enlarged upon
the merits of his internal book. His
words passed over our mind like a
mighty torrent, and swept away every
vestige of that friendship we 80 long
had cherished for him. When he fin
ished, winding up with the hope that,
for the sake of old times, we would ia
vor him with our name, We arose,
seized him, and flung him through the
window. He struck upon the picket
fence below, and his mangled body
now swans upon the cseaking pickets,
a CHASTITY warning to those who would
trltie with the hearts best affections.

Died /:

"Blessed are they who mourn, for they
shall be comforted." rf,'
How truly may these words be real
lied by those who mourn the loss of the
subject of this memoir. s.-, ~
Death is at all times and in all places
an unwelcome visitant, and carries sor-
row and sadness in his train, but when
he crosses the threshold of a home for
the first time, he comes with crushing
power and pal'alyzes for a time both
hope and happiness God. alone then
can soothe, God alone can comfort, God
alone can raise up. Such has been the
effect of the affective ,dispensation we
are called upon to record. The home
of our friends, a home bright with love
and full of buds of promise has been
entered by the grim messenger and its
brightest and, it's best borne away by
him. He has chosen, as he ever does, a
shining mark. All who knew Allen
loved him, and allIwho loved him,kiew
how much he contributed to the happi-
ness of his home. He was one of the
brightest boys that ever caused pa
rents heart to swell with pride. He
was besides possessed of heart full of
kindness and lQye-ever ready, ever
willing to oblige, to make any sacrifice
to the demands of affection, he was be-
loved by all who knew him. Named
for Louisiana's best and noblest son, he
possessed in an eminent degree, though
undeveloped, the qualities which not
only rendered his immortal namesake
great, but which endeared him to all
who came in, contact with him. 1t
seemed as if, that with the name, the
mantle of the noblei Allen had fallenon
him. lie was the light of his home,
and consequently darkness and gloom.
overspreau that home when little Allen
died.
But he has been taken from u.s. and
truly in this case are the mourners
blessed, tor they shall be comfbrted.-
He was a child of the covenants child
of God through Holy Baptism, and on
his bed of death, while in full possess
sion Of all his faculties, he ratified and
confirmed his VOWS of baptism. He
"arOse and went to bis Father" and he
was received withs&all. his pight,facul-1
ties of head and heart, just seeking a
field upon which'to be developed. God
called him away and chose that Para
disc bright with His presence should be
the field in (which they should be 'ex-
banded.
Let those who mourn his loss be
comforted. Our Allen is now under
the guidance and guardianship of the
Good Shepherd, who "will feed him
In green pastures and lead him beside
the still waters" We may 20 to him,
but he cannot come to US. O.

residence in this Town, of good and

regime of decent, respectable an d

and she certainly possessed and new
er forfeited the esteem Of all classes
here. She was a native of Kentucky,
but came to Alexandria n 1920,
when child, and ever since has re-
sided here and made our Town her
home. She died on Saturday last, at
the ripe age of three score and ten,
surrounded and cared for by friends
of her lifetime, and was borne to her
last resting place on earth by the
largest funeral cortege we ever wit
messed here. Peace and final rest to
thee, good Aunt Louisa!
