to be trustworthy, show that there are

church advantages or other religions
privileges to make up for the depriva-
ton of Sunday school tuition.

"A favorite antidote for rattlesnake
poison in Mexico is strong
solution of | iodine in potassium
iodide. Mr.. Ell. III. Croft has tested
some OF the poison itself with this solu-
ton, and finds that light brown
amorphns precipitate is formed, the
insolubility of which explains the bene-
fetal actioso Of the antidote. When
iodine cannot be readily obtained, 4
solution Of potassium iodide, to which q
few drops Of ferric chloride has been
added, can perhaps be used as an anti
adOte to snake poison.
In addition to the above, when per-

ANOTHER NEW RAILROAD FOR

From time to time we have been rccriy-
ins facts about the above road. but have
refrained from giving them until the mat
ter was settled beyond all doubt, and now
that the time has arrived, we take pleasure
in presenting them TO our readers. The
contract for grading the road from Hutton
Valley to this place has been let, and from
here the company expects, first, to try TO
lease the right to run over the Cairo loe to
that city; but if the lease can not be made,
they will build liue parallel with it to
Cairo. The Cape Girardeau roaG will also
connect with it al this point, thus giving
direct connection with the Illinois Central.
AS soon as the grading is completed on the
main line of the Kansas City, Springfield
and Memphis railroad, work will be com.
menced on both ends OF the branch with
the whole force of hands and pushed
through as rapidly as possible. The engi-
neers are now at work on the line locating
and establishing the grade, preparatory to
commencing work. With tits road in op.

center and manufacturing city is establish

RIVER IMPROVEME NT.

During the past twenty years congress
has been very liberal in giving aid to great
railroad lines upon the ground that thereby
the facilities tor transportations would be
increased and the people benefited. II has
thus granted to the railroad companies
hundreds of millions of acres of land, worth
THOUSANDS AND MILLIONS of dollars. The
sum seems immense, nevertheless our
statement is correct. Such grants have
been generally made at the request of east
ern railroad builders. But when the great
west asks few millions of dollars to con-
tinue the improvement Of the Mississippi
and Ohio rivers--our two great natural
channels Of transportation congress
grows negligent and fails to give the aid
which the people of the west have demand.
