EXTEN TON OF THE ST. LOUIS AND
CAIRO RAILROAD.

Missouri Republican.
The st. Louis and Cairo railroad com
pauy are extending their road from East
Carondelet to East st. Louis, a distance of
five miles, which will be completed during
the month of May, when they will ar
range to use the Relay depot in common
with other roads entering East st. Louis
after which they propose making arrange
ments to reach the Union depot at st. Louis
from which point the arrival and departure
of their trains will be duly promulgated.
This new arrangement will prove far
more satisfactory to the travelling public and
certainly more advantageous to the inter-
ests Of the company itself than the present
way Of reaching EastSt Louis or St.Louis,
as they are at present using five miles OF
track owned by the ST. Louis, Vandalis and
Terre Haute Railway company, which only
admits them to depot far remote from the
business centre of East St. Louis. In add
tion to this six miles Of new track they are
also building feeder of fourteen miles
from Columbia and Georgetown, where
they will strike rich coal mines and fine
rock quarry. The bridge over the Okaw
river and the trestle-work on either side are
being raised four feet, which will place
them above the highest water known, and
all the low places along the line of road are
to be raised in like manner before the sea-
son. AS fast as the iron rails give out they
are to be replaced with steel rails, fifteen
miles Of which have already been shipped
from the rolling mills. The construction
of the Cincinnati and St. Louis Narrow.
gauge 800 miles in length and the ST.
LOUIS, Cairo and Rio Grande Narrow
gauge, $500 miles, with the first at St.
Louis and the latter at Cairo, gives the st.
Louis and Cairo. Narrow. gauge road
valuable northern and southern connection.
The energy and push manifested by this
company and its chief officials is worthy OF
commentator, and they certainly deserve
success IN their efforts to reach the Union
depot.

An IgnonlInlous Capture.

One OF Morgan's redoubtable men,
recounting his exploits during the war,
tells an apochryhal story of the igno-
minious capture of Colonel Robert G.
Lagersol. 1t is to the effect that when
his regiment was captured the eloquent
Colonel was not to be found until a
beardless fourteen-year old boy came
marching him into camp. having cap
tured him at the muzzle OF a musket.
He said he skeered up the Colonel in a
hog pen. where he was concealed under
the litter. The credit or discredit of
hiding in any manner to escape capture
depends wholly upon its issue. II sue
cessful, it was a shrewd and admirable
exploit; but if the enemy discovered
the hidiog place the aspect is vastly
changed. Passing over the possibility
that the boy may have lied, and the
boaster now telling the story may not
stick to the truth, we are brought into
contact with another charge against
Robert. The racohteur goes on to say
that the captive, by his genial manners
and eloquent words. soon became fav.
orite with his captors. He was placed
upon escape parole and treated to tho
best that could be had. In the course
Of events he became so obligated to his
generous captors that he wished to re-
turn some of their hospitalities. So he
borrowed the sum of 800 in good Con-
federate scrip. and dispensed hospitali
ty like a lord while it lasted. Now,
what gals the Morgan man is the fact
that Ingersoll forgot to repay the
money, although he gave his note in
due form, and since the war has been
dunned in regulation manner. Nor
gan's men are Of the opinion that he is
q bold, bad man. and that his religion
won't wash and is not worth two cents
yard. Bob ought to hunt up some
Confederate scrip and pay the claim if
it takes the last one.cent piece he can
find in his pocket.-Indianapolis Jour.

up hurriedly, and begins to sean it over
rapidly, as though she were hunting

She is merely taking in the obscure

Marriages and deaths are always in

A shrewd Ambassador.

On a certain occasion an ambassador,
whom the Emperor Charlemange had
sent to an Eastern monarch, while sit
ting at the table Of the latter, quits
thoughtlessly moved a dish that was
near him.
It happened that the king had issued
an edict that if guest touched a dish
before he himself was served, he should
be put to death. Therefore, most
naturally, every eyewas turned toward
the enemy, and some of the courtiers
proclaimed his ofense and loudly de-
manded his immediate punishment
The monarch was in dilemma. On
the one hand, be dreaded to excite the
displeasure of so mighty a ruler as
Charlemange by putting his represen-
tatiye to death; on the other, he was
unwilling that his subjects should find
him remiss in the execution of any law
he promulgated. OF the two alterna-
tiyes, the latter seemed to him the
worse; SO he acquainted the ambas-
sador with the law of the land. and
told him he must die.
II sinned ignorantly,g said the
Frank, "but ignorance Of the law IL
no excuse for its violation. Your
every decree must becarried out 60 the
very letter. and I am the last who
would wish you to relax from your
vigor in my behalf. 1 only implom
your highness to grant me singla
favor before I die"
at is not my desire, but the law,
that renders thy death necessary" re-
piled the monarch, "and 7 promise to
grant whatsoever thon askest. NV
word is fate."
"I only ask" remarked the am
bassador, looking around with grim
smile, ~that the eyes Of all who saw
me touch the dish be placed in my
hand"
Hearing this, the c0urtiers gazed
upon one another with fear and tremb-
ling. Even the king himself was dis
Mayed but the promise had been
given, and the singular request mast
be complied with. So he said:
It shall be done. =
On inquiry, however, not one was to
be found among the courtiefs, nor
among the servants. who was willing t0
acknowledge that he had witnessed the
act; and the king confessed that he had
notseen it.
IF no one saw me commit the deed.
there is no evidence to prove me guilty.
observed the ambassador; ana cer.
tainly there can be no reason miiy N
should suffer death.
