THE PROPOSED ROAD SHALL WE
HAVE ITp

llo! Ye men of Cairo
There is Il time for all things" There
is tide in the affairs OF men which, irtakcn
at the flood, leads on to fortune
a highway OF no highway, as perma.
nent link between Cairo and the agricuItur-
al regions of the north and west. is the
question to be solved by her voters next
Tuesday. To not vote, or to vote against
the proposed highway, would exhibit a
gricvous want of correct understanding Of
the welfare OF Cairo, 70 say nothing Of the
welfare of more than thrce.tOurths of Alex
ander county, and large portion Of Pulaski
county, together, ultimately, with the borders
Of Massac, johnson and Union counties,
The benefits which would follow the con
struction of such n roa- would be mutual
and almost incalCulOble. Shows, rains and
river foundations, would no more cut off
the traffic between clty and country. Mar
kct wagons and all road vehicles would
traverse the highway from country to city,
and from city to country, continuously,
from the beginning to the ending Of the
year. Be he rich or poor, such road
could and would bring only blessing, TO
every man in the city. The little pittance
Of tax, which would be necessary
to pay for the building Of said road, would
each year be restored in substantial beue-
its more than ten fold Let no man who is
gifted with the power of thought, be hood.
winked by designing intriguants who are
probably IN the pay OF rival cities, or ad
verse interests, that would willingly see
Cairo's name blotted from the catalogue of
trade. The mere fact of any citizen Of
Cairo opposing the proposed road is evil
dcncc Of his being influenced by one or the
other of the following motives or condi.
tons
He is actuated by an untricndly power
10 Cairo; he is seeking to curry favor with
her lukewarm friends, and her known enc.
mics. He is acting from personal and pee
wish spite toward some Cairo man or men
who want the road. He is deceived by
installing his i'll formed opinions for the
cream of wisdom. Or finally he,
is mayhap, Laundering in the mental
midnightism Of Irresponsible hallucination.
Let us hope, however, that on election day,
not one single vote will be cast against the
sorcly needed road in Cairo a road which
would lniurc no honest man, and, which
like the rains OF heaven, would shower
blessing upon the just and the unjust alike
Why should we not here say a word for
the vicinagc Of Cairo! The building of
this proposed road would turn this robbers
den of brush and semi annual lagoons, in
a few years, into astonishngly productive
gardens and fields whose abundance and
the proceeds thereof would drop like the
grateful tears of a redeemed man into the
busom of hi, deiycrer. Cairo cries today,
to her conscrvators, to give her an inland
avenue to the products Of the country.
Let no man turn deaf car to her demands
They are honorable, they are just they are
due. Crown this trio OF honor, Justice and
desert, next Tuesday, with success.

A Debtors Device.

A GENTLEMAN of San Francisco has
devoted q great part of the time he has
spent on the Pacific Coast in contract
ing bills, which he does not find could
be conveniently paid when due. Hav.
ing lived in California since SO, and
being what Is called "a generous
liver" he has numerous creditors, and
the sum of his debts is respectfully large.
Some years ago he determined to at
tempt the gradual payment of all his
liabilities. Endowed with q fine sense
of justice, it puzzled him to decide
upon plan of liquidation that would
be fair and equitable to all his credit
ors. After long consideration he hit
upon = method which he found entirely
satisfactory. He explained his plans
the other day to one of his
recently-acquired creditors. A bill
was presented him with re-
quest for immediate payment. He
took the account, and carefully check
ing all the items, and footing up tho
long column of figures, found all cor
rect. Then he quietly and neatly fold
ed up the bill and filed it away in q
pigeon-hole marked "W.'' Turning
to his waiting creditor, he explained
Is follows: "Mr. Williams, it will be
some time yet before your bill will
come up in the regular order, but you
may depend upon my attention.
Some years ago adopted an alphabet
ical system of paying off my indebted
ness, and have now got as far as @.
Don't trouble yourself to call again.
As soon as I get to w, I will call upon
you with the amount" Struck with
the Debtors systematic and equitable
method of doing business, the creditor
hopefully withdrew.-Argonas!t.

Human Thorns.

THERE are certain disagreeable peo,
pie in this world who seem to take 4.
special delight in annoying others by
reminding them 81 things they would
willingly forget. They are human
thorns, forever torturing their fellow
men for the sake Of torture. Has .
man met with misfortune in his busi-
ness, they are forever recalling the
fact. Has man in times thatare gone
wandered into devious paths, they are
forever reminding him of it often by
congratulating him that that is past.
Has q man blundered, they are forever
telling him what .tmight have been"
When the Thorn is of masculine
gender, there is one way of get
ting relief He can be knocked
down and taught manners. When
the Thorn is of the feminine gender,
the case is different and not so easily
disposed of. But Causeur hears of one
such scourge in petticoats who got her
deserts the other evening. It was .
little party, where some score of peo-
pie were gathered together. The
Thorn sat near young man who, in
days gone by, had been guilty of fol-
lies that cost him dearly. He had put
them all behind him. But the Thorn
took occasion to recall them, in sub
dued and confidential tone. The VIC
tim, who had been subjected to the
same torture before, spoke up so that
all could hear. MADAM" he said,
"for five years have been trying to
forget all that. You have been trying
tn remembar IL. YOu have succeeded
better than I. l congratulate YOU"

The Boston Herald does not accept
the renewed charges against Cashier
Barron, of the Dexter (Me.) Savings
Bank. 1t says: "The refusal to allow
those who now represent him access to
the books, the malevolence which has
all along been shown toward him, the
limited possibility that the books are
not now in the condition in which
he left them, and other consider
atoms which will present themselves,
will prevent the public from accepting
this new charge Of false entry as
proving that the late cashier afterward
murdered himself under the most un-i
exampled circumstances. Then, it these
entries were made by him and were
bogus it does not prove q defalcation.
The Trustees (and, by the way, the one
of them who had in the greatest de-
gree the public confidence refuses TO-
serve longer on the board) are not COW
ering themselves with glory. They
may excite suspicion, but it is by no
means certain that it will be such sus-
picion as they viii enjoy"
~ AN exchange warns farmers against
swindlers in this wise: When strange
man calls at your farm house and gets
his dinner. pays for it and wants you
to sign q receipt Just to show his en-
sployers how the money went don't do
it. II you do, IN about one month you
will have 8 note for about one hundred
dollars poked at you for payment, with
your own signature to It.

A Massachusetts teacher wr;to

"A Massachusetts, teacher writes to
the National Jostr,sul Of Education de-
scribing an experiment in the school
room which seems to be successful.
Instead of facing his pupils he has his
desk behind them, and thus overlooks
them to good advantage. The naughty
little ones, not knowing when his eye is
on them, dare not whisper and play.
They have,' he says, 80 frequent
~ come to grief in attempting to cal
culate chdaces, that they have con-
cluded to make virtue Of necessity,
and give up play in the school room IS
improbable, costing more than it
comes to" Another decided advant-
age Of this system is that it complete
y isolates classes reciting from the
rest Of the school; the recitation bench
es being in front of the teacher desk,
between him and the school, and the
backs Of the pupils toward each other,
communication by lock or sign is out
Of the question. The only special rule
made Z that pupils shall not look
around.

Nonsense.

"A LITTLE nonsense now! and then In
relished by the best Of men," says, the
rhyme, and who is there so morose as
not to echo the sentiment In fact,
nonsense is one of the most popular
things in the world, is more effectual
to medicine q mind diseased than
drugs, and the man who can adminis-
ter it with discretion is the man after
our own heart-the man who il smoth-
cred in invitations to dine, who is never
left out in the cold, who makes friends
and conquers enemies with q bonnet,
and is welcomed at every fireside. No
doubt there are unfortunate people,
with no sense for the ludicrous, who 20
through life without appreciating q
joke, and regard the nonsense in which
others indulge as an unaccountable
weakness, which Providence may for
give, but which obliges one to enter
tain discouraging views respecting the
development of the human species;
but to the majority nonsense is the
c0ndiment that seasons and assists in
the digestion Of sober sense. If all
work and no play make Jack dull
boy, so all sense unleavened by non
sense makes him q dull man, and the
biggest one society affords. A little
nonsense puts people en- rapport with
each other, opens the door for intima-
cy, sets the embarrassed at ease, bids
even Dignity come down from his ped
estal, and pushes Gravity off his bal
ance. communicates feeling of good
fellowship, and is as fine q tonic for
languishing conversation as quinine for
weak stomach. It is no sign of q
frivolous soul, as some who are inca
pable of nonsense would infer, nor of q
mind Of narrow compass. which can
perceive only the comical side of any
thing. 1t lubricates the machinery of
everyday living and thinking, estab-
fishes sort Of freemasonry among peo-
pie of differing opinions, that they may
meet on common grounds without fear
of friction. The greatest minds have
understood its power, and have not
despised its aid; and although there are
those who prefer Sydney Smiths wis
dom to his wit, yet it is his delicious
nonsense that endears him to rs, and
renders his name asynonym for humor.
Are not Shakspeare's. comedies the de-
light of the laughter-loving world,
which would devote all tragedies to
oblivion rather than suffer comedy to
lose grimacep In short, it is almost
a vital necessity that the sober COM
nonsense of the world should be tenn
pered and alleged with few grains Of
nonsense. No one would prescribe an
overdose, TO be sure, though it is the
healthy mind that can absorb the great
est amount; to weak nerves and dis
ordered brains it is only rhod omontade,
with nothing exquisite to recommend
it, Yet, if it were not remedy for
ennai, and q charm against the evil
eye, Punch would lose his reputation,
COlumbine and Pantaloon would com.
nit suicide. -HGrpeT's BazQr

with the gloss and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as.
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. It's
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for q
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desir-
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cambria,
and yet lasts long on the hair, giving
it a rich, glossy lustre and grateful
perfume.

COAST LINE TELEGRAPH COM
PANY.

1t is proposed to connect AlcXan-
dria With New Orleans by n line run
ming from the latter city up the Coast,
ria Donaldsonvillc, Plaqieminc, Port,
Allen and Musson to the Red River.
AS no outside aid is expected, the
line will be divided into sections and
built by local stock subscriptions, and
the sections are 50 arranged that if by
failure of any section to build con-
solidation is prevented, the completed
short lines will reach some point
having tclcgraphic communication.
Thus, the Musson and Port Allen
and Port Allen and Plagucmine sec
tons will temporarily connect with
Baton Rouge.
Tho shares are fixed at Fifty dollars
each, ten per cent. payable on sub
scription, balance on: call. The
shares will have first mortgage upon
the line and equipment and bear an
enforced interest of eight per cent.
per annum. Each certificate will
have coupons for this interest re-
ceivable for dispatches.
Onc-half of the stock in the Musson
and Port Allen section is subscribed
and the full stock in the Plagucmine
section is promised. Until the Alex
andria section is completed it is pro-
posed to connect Musson with Baton
Rouge by telephone.
Planters on the route will rccOllcct
that with such line as the above in
operation three day'si notice of n
freeze like that which destroyed the
cane in 1877, could be given from the
weather bureau at Washington to all
the stations on the sugar coast, aud
by this means and consequent win
drowing the crop can be saved prior
to y killing freeze.
Subscriptions to the stock of the
proposed enterprise will soon be
opened at R0TH MCWILLiAMs &C.,,

of litigation and the great cost of Grim
inal prosecutions.
They have enacted n homestead
law that gives ample protection to
every citizen, and will induce immi-
grafton to our State.
They maintain the rights Of all citi-
zcns, unimpaircd and without rcstlic-
ti0ns.
And in fact they make all the re-
forms that VIC have been asking for.
And to the parish of East Baton
Rouge they have restored the State
Capital.
Having said all this, they will add ::
that the best thing that casl he done
now, is to stand by the party that has
bcfl'icndcd them, and to make sure
that there won't be any more troublcat
least for some time to CONC; they will
vote the Democratic ticket to re-or-
ganizc the State Oh that platform, SO
~ not to have any doubtful men in
office, when the Presidential campaign
Of 1880 comes upon us.
They don't want any Grant in
theirs just now, and can't afford to
have at the helm any lultewarm in
dependent office holders.
That's the reason why We believe
that the mississippi mdpcn1cntschcmc
won't stand II ghost of II chance in
East Baton Rouge; the last parish in
the State who succulnbcd to the radi-
cal party, aud the first one to get out
of its clutches.
The moral Of this story is: that all
hands had better come back to the
fold and try their luck within the
party, withcvery body cl,se.

To CADETS DARLING.-A love sick
swain, way up in Alexandria, has
dedicated an Ode under this heading,
which will be found in anothcrcolu
The disconsolatc maiden, who, some
time ago gave vent to her sorrowtul
feelings, over the nom de plume of
Cadets Darling, will cease to lament,
when she reads this sympathetic re-
sponsc. When the two lovers again
meet, all will be explained while VOWS
of eternal constancy are interchangcd.
We imagine that the conclusion will
be as in all well regulated sentimental
novels.
