"A match game OF base ball. between
the New Madrid and Charleston, Mo-
clubs, played at the latter city Tuesday at
ternoon, resulted in victory for the latter
by score of twenty to none. 1t may be
OF interest to the Eckfords, of Paducah, to
know that several Cairo boys were with
the Charleston club. Yesterday the Charles
tons went to New Madrid, to give the
club OF the latter city another drubbing on
their own ground At this writing we
haven't learned the result, but-the several
Cairo boys were still with the Charleston
club.

is a relative of Mr.. Carmody and was con

"A dollar and half in money and a
revolver, belonging to Mr.. GoldStine, were
taken from the till of Messrs. Godstine IL
Rosenwater's dry goods department some
time during Tuesday night by some one
who gained entrance by means of the same
window in the second story front, over the
awning through which the burglar OF about
aweek ago entered. The window had been
fastened, but the fastening was broken off
by the burglar. Nothing but the money
drawer was disturbed so far as could be
seen, and no clue was left by which the
burglar might be tracked. Another clean

a wholesome effect.
The Argus corrects The BULLETINS
statement as to the exact population of
New Orleans, and in doing so only places
New Orleans as compared with Chicago in
a still less favorable light THE BULLETIN
did not profess to be accurate in its figures,
and placed the population OF New Orleaus
in 1870 at 225,O00. The Argus says it was
1911 AIS; but admits that the increase in
ten years was only 24,722, which suits our
purpose just as well, for it only cinches
our argument that the population of New
Orleans decreased rather than increased
during the ten years ending 1880, We can
not speak from personal experience, but the
experiences of Others are before US add we
profit by them. From reliable statistics
we draw the conclusion that population
of 1871 AIS ought, under such favorable
conditions as the Argus ascribes to New
Orleans, increase about one hundred per
centum in half score Of years; and the
fact that New Orleans really shows an IN
crease of less than one.eighth, we are
forced to conclude that during the ten
years mentioned there were seven depart
lures from New Orleans to every arrival.
The experience of Chicago and New Or
leans aud many other cities is, that there
must first be a good, solid foundation for a
city and plenty Of dry land before healthy
growth Of humanity can be reasona-
bly, eXpeCted-in fact, that 1t is absolutely
necessary to ill cities situated as this and
New Orleans are, with dirt, before they
can be filled with people.
