The Chicago, St. Louis and New
Orleans road is about to build a COM
modious and elegant passenger depot
at jackson, Mississippi.
On April 1st, 1880, the Illinoi;
Central railroad commenced the sale
of local tickets on all of its lines in H.
linois at three cents per mile, in place
of four cents as heretofore.
Colonel Wadley, General Alexan-

There was considerable commo-
ton in financial circles here in conse>
quence Of the break in the Louisville
u Nashville railroad stock, which fell
from 149 TO 1J5. This is the heaviest
decline that has occurred to any rail-
road on the New York Stock Ex-
change for years. The "lambs" bleat-
ed and bled terribly. While the
Louisville d Nashville management
have been monopolizlng the railroad
columns of the press for the past four
months, with accounts of their leases,
purchases and combinations, it seems
that their rivals have not been idle,
but have quietly perfecting plans for
their protection by flank movements,
which may result in Il complete over
throw of the whole system of that CO.
lossal corporation. There is no road
on the continent more prosperous or
that has better credit than the Illinois
Central The acquisition of the N.
G. d st. l.. and the Selma branch of
the Western Alabama, IN connection
with the Mobile d Montgomery and
the New Orleans d Mobile roads, cuts
this most important line of road out of
Il Southeastern connection, as the map
now appears; but, make two other
lines on the map-one from Nashville
to jackson and from Nashville to
Knoxville, and the ether from Deca-
tar to Atlanta, with a short branch
from the main line at Gadsden to Ope-
lika-and it will at once be seen how
completely it changes the whole situa-
ton. tisasserted by those in position
to be well informed, that the new
combination will certainly build a
road between Jackson and Knoxville !
and from Scottsboro, on the Memphis

This has been contemplated for some |

Illinois Central, Col. Z. w. Cole, K. |

what the Monroe Doctrine
Means.
Burlington Hawkeye.

The Monroe doctrine simply and ex-
plicitly declares that no foreign nation
shall come over here and slide down
our cellar door; that England and
France shall not hang on our front
gates to DO their courting; that they
can't bring over their own syrup-pots
and elder sprouts and make sugar in
our maple grove; that Germany and
Austria can't spot DO bee tree in our
woods; that Italy can't cut her fire.
wood off our hedge rows; that Russia
can't spank her neighbor's children
with odr butter paddle. The
MoUroe doctrine simply means that
we are the bull of the woods between
the two oceans, and that the man who
joins farms with US on either side had
better not move the boundary fence
until he talks to US about it, and that
he can't sub-iet patch of his farm to
anybody until We are satisfied that tho
new tenant viii make good neighbor
for US. That's about all there is Of it.
