Before the era OF Railroads, Cairo had a
commanding position ~ centre of com
mcrce and navigation. This importance OF
position she It'll possesses, but has now the
additional advantage OF being n great rail-
road centre, "a number OF the most import
ant railroads in the Valley OF the Mississippi
conycrging 10 and having their termini
there. Among these, coming from the north
are the great Illinois Central Railroad,
which trayeTses the entire state of Illinois
fromit. extreme northern and northeastern
to its southern limits, and by It's connections
extends into all the great northwestern
grain producing State, the Cairo and Vim
cennes, extending from Cairo to The City OF
Nincennes, in the state Of Indian, where
its come ctions afford direct railroad COM
munications with all Ea.tcrn cities; and
the Cairo II ~. LOUIS Railroad. aifording o
direct railroad communication with the
City OF st. Louis and all the railroads cen
tering there. The roads coming from the
South are the New Orleans, jackson and
Great Northern and the Mobile and ohio
Railroads. which give direct railroad COM
municl'ion with the cities OF Mobile and
New Orleans, and other Southern Atlantic
sea ports, and by connecting roads with all
the country south OF Cairo; aud coming
from the southwest IL the Cairo, Arkansas
and Texas Railroad, which stlords similar
communication with southern Missouri.

These railroads, terniu atiDg at Cairo. are
now all completed and in successful opers-
ton, those in Illinois coming into the city
on a bank Of each OF the rivers, Ohio and
Mississippi. and terminating at their coniiu-

Cairo, are in course Of construction and will
soon be completed, and other railroads both

NAPOLEON AT ST. HELENA.

A correspondent Of the London 1imes
has { rnished the following statement,
made by William Clark, now living in
Thetford, Suffolk:
II was born on the 2Sth of December.
1893. at Hopton, near Thetford, in SUI.
folk. enlisted on the Sth of May 1915,
IN her -Mejesty's-Tweatisth- Regiment,
then lying at Waterford. On the 14th
Of February. 1913. We were sent to re-
lieve the ffty-third Regiment. which
had accompanied Napoleon to his exile
in st. Helena. We arrived in Helena
about the 18th OF May, 1915, and re-
mained there till six months after the
death of Napoleon, who died on the 9Th
of May 1921. We had to lie on the
floor. one blanket to each man, which
We placed halt under and half over US.
Sir Hudson Lowe refused the peti-
ton oi Col. Smith to allow bedding
this would make them sleep too sound
ly.' At gunire {6 clock p. NJ the
guard formed closerin, and ell outpickets
we're joined TO Boney's guard. Guards.
pickets, oil amounted at night to sixty.
three or sixty-four. About mile from
our regular quarters were three guns,

Sir Hudson loves quarters were st
mile and halifs distance from Napo-
Icons. A Captain. either ofthe Sixty
sixth o. the 7 twentieth Regiment was
always stationed inside Boney's COM
pound; and il vas his duty to see him
once every day. Boney knew this was
the case, aud while he would not report
himself. he would give him opportuni-
ties Of seeing him, unless he was sulky.
He was very sulky sometimes, perhaps
would not show himself for several
days. The Captain on the watch would
signal accordingly; and affer two or
three days Sir Hudson would come rid
ing up with 81. stat. ring the bell, and
ask. Where Is Napoleon? In his
study. TELL him / want him.. Per
