CAIRO WINS AGAIN.

ANOTHER NEW RAILROAD THAT WAS TO
WORK CAIRos COMMERCIAL RUIN, CONES
TO HER UNBIDDEN TO SUE FOR WHAT
CRUMBS MAY FALL FROM HER CONNER
cIAL TABLE.
We take the following from the editorial
page of the Charleston, (Mo.) Courier of
yesterday:
The Bluff Citizen says: Mr.. Kerrigsn,
superintendent of the Iron Mountain rail-
road, ia conversation with citizen of Pop
lar Bluff last week, said that the Kansas
City, Springfield and Memphis railroad
company had already made arrangements
with the Iron Mountain company for the
right-of-way over their line to Cairo, and
that the Hutton Valley and Poplar Bluff
branch would be built this winter.
The Kansas City, Springfield and Mem.
phis railroad is the new road recently built
from Memphis to Kansas City. THIS road
opens up new country not well settled and
rich in undeveloped resources; but above
all, it is the connecting link between 81.
Louis and Memphis, which, it was predic.
ted, would ruin Cairo as q distributing
point, by taking from her the larger portion
of the immence through traffic bound from
St. Louis and other northern points for the
south.
The road was in able hands, we'll man.
aged and we'll backed. No doubt every
thing was done to draw the through bust.
ness away from Cairo; but in vain. Cairo
more than held her own as the door be-
tween the north and the south, through
which the one must receive her cotton and
the other her provisions, and the road that
was to have virtually closed her up, is COM
PEELED to come TO her to receive small
share of the through business--so much a.
Cairo's seven other railroads can spare-in
order to sustain itself.
1t is we'll. Cairo is generous. She hal
enough for all and has little to spare fol
the Kansas City, Springfield & Memphis
road, and she welcomes the new road Il
her doors.

which she holds in her left. On the
lower box in front lady bends above a
child which elings TO her with its arms
around her waist.
SIMPLE SIMON IN THE ART GALLERY
The stage represents an art exhibit
ton. On the top table is man with a
huge spear. On the lower table at his
left, a lady with hat and rake like a
CLEANER is seen, while at his right an
other lady is placed behind table
which stands on end so that her head
and shoulders alone are visible. This
table being covered with sheets makes
her look like classic bust. The two
other ladies' stand near the front of the
stage, one on the right, and the other
opposite her on the left, each being
posed on a small box covered with
white.
Simon enters left, meets Pieman
right, asks for pie in motion by point
ing to his mouth as if hungry. Pieman
wants money, Simon mods his head.
Siezes pie and runs Of Pieman pur-
sues him, but he hides behind statue at
left and Pieman sadly goes off.
Simon comes gaily forward eating
pie. Being then pleased at sight of the
statues, he puts pie on the table. takes
out n catalogue and studies the figures
carefully. The male statue slowly picks
up pie and eats it. Simon sees him Just
at the last moment, and climbs up to
try and get to the pie. He shows fight;
statue is immovable. but when Simon
turns his back the statue pushes him
down to the floor,
Simon is very angry, but the statue is
perfectly unconscious.
DENoUEMENT.
Simon goes forward, takes out snuff
box and opens it in front of stage.
Statue at right sneezes; Simon pauses,
when statue at left sneezes. Simon
then goes TO look at the classic bust,
when the man statue knocks his hat off
with his spear; Simon tries in vain to
find who did it, as the statue is immov-
able again. AS the statue pays him no
attention, Simon picks up his old hat,
and places it on the head of the classic
bust and contemplates it with delight;
but as soon as his back is turned the
bust stoops down into the frame, and
the hat disappears with her. Simon
goes for his hat, is much surprised not
to find it, climbs up and looks down
after it.
The man pushes him with his spear
and he rolls over on to the stage. The
CLEANER rakes him with her rake and he
looks up, but she is again still. Simon
advances with great CONSERVATION to the
front, when the right statue glides
slowly toward him and seizes his arm.
Left statue also advances, puts her arm
around his left, and the trembling Simon
is led off at the right mid shouts of
laughter from the audience. who cannot
resist the curious spectacle of the
solemn statues thus in motion. - YOUTH 5
