We had TIE pleasure Of a call Satur.
day from Mr.. William Cash, Of Prince
ton, KY, father Of Joseph Cash, of this
county, and the late Frank M. Cash, Of
this city. He is here looking after some
property interests and on a social visit
among relations. Mr.. Cash is a remark
able specimen Of well-preserved man
hood and vigor. BE will be seventy-hve
years old next August, yet walks erect,
and is capable of transacting as much
business as men at Fifty. He has been
married a little over ffty-two years, and
his wife, by whom be is accompanied,
is equally as we'll preserved. Such in
stances Of vigorous old age are very rare.
May they live on and yet celebrate their
diamond wedding,

A Trip 10 the New Out.OR at DEVILS
Elbow ON the Tug OriOIe.

In company with several other gentle
men, our wet.ender yesterday morning
boarded the excellent tug 0riole, which
had been rendered US for the occasion by
Mr.. Bryant, president, and Mr.. Woods,
superintendent Of the St. Bernard Coal
Association for the purpose of taking a
view of the new cutoff. We left the
wharf boat at halfpast eleven and steam
ed up through Tennessee chute and
thence into the chute Of Island 40 and
from there to the new-made cutoff. We
found the plantations along the route
partially submerged and no doubt have
sustained considerable damage by the
overflow. ,
The steamer Capitol City, which left
port a few minutes behind us, gave our
craft a lively %tussle, but the noble 0riole
succeeded in keeping her company and
both boats entered the cutoff at the
same time. When near our destination
we witnessed the safe and speedy passage
through the new chute OF the steamer
Cons Millar. At Williams landing, be.
low, we passed the popular coast packet.
Osceola Belle, as she lay at the shore
taking on cotton. The water in the cut
off was rather rough AID turbulent, but
we passed safely through, and rounding
the point we made for Captain Charley
Morris, the celebrated Pacific Place.
which is now left out in the bend. This
bend will no doubt soon become nothing
more than q lake. Captain Morris con.
siders that this cutoff will enhance the
value of his already valuable and beau
tiful plantation by drawing of the watel
ard leaving it above overflow. At ;
o'clock we anchored at Pacific Place
where our party diserbarked and were
received by Captain Charley in his usua
hospitsbls manner, and at his kind isVi
tation, proceeded to his beautiful resi-
dence, where we sat down to and enjoyed
an elegant repast, such IS only the esti
mable Mrs. Morris could furnish. Ate
partaking% beautifully Of the good thing
spread before US our party took a stroll
through the gardens and yards reunC
about this lovely place, and examined a
our leisure the various kinds of birds
fowls and other curiosities, Of whicI
Captain Morris has a large and interest
ing collection. Due attention was ais
given to his blooded stock by our party
After returning thanks to Captain MOI
ris and his lady for their kind and hos
pitable treatment we re-embarked ami.
the cheers and well-wishes of the goo
people Of Pacific Place, rounded GU
into the great river and started on GU
return home. In just one hour an.
twenty minutes after leaving Charlie
Morris we landed at the foot Of Marke
street. And now we take occasion t
again return thanks to Captain Dude
B~roadhurst, who commanded and pilote
the tug on the trip and used every mean
in his power to entertain the party, 70
