Lake. The road is bounding ahead at the rate of from
2 to 5 miles a day, and is now in complete running order
to Benton (the north part of Platte), about 700 miles west

Albany, would like to rent your Omaha Hotel, the Cozzens
douse. I shall see him while east. Durant says ho don't

anybody in the way of bail or money, and thinks that you
intend lighting it out en that line if it takes a ltfe-tinte.
AN EDITORIAL EXCURSION TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS.

" * * * Mr. Frost left here last Friday for Omaha
with an editorial excursion party of about forty, composed
of leading editors from Boston, Now York Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Pittsburg, and a fow from Chicago. Hobbs, of
Pensley and Co., and also Shaw, who writes editorials for
them, had them in charge as far as this city. I saw con-
siderable of them for twenty-four hours that they spent
here. Accompanied them in tug to the " Crib," with
Messrs. George W. frost, Gov. Bross, Chicago Tribune ;
W. H. Smith, of the Republican; and quito a number of
merchants and editors from this city. They all inquired
particularly for you ; Dana, of tho New York Sun was
among them. Moses Beech (the old proprietor of the Sun)
lied iu Cincinnati on Saturday. Poor Beldiug's fate (the
London banker) was sad, wasu't it ? Letter to T. Nassau
will bo forwarded as usual.—Very truly yours,

Perhaps I have made too long a story of your question.
The injunction in New York is a black mail Wall-street
tffair, which has already fallen to the ground. The Credit
Foucior, of which I am the president, and in which th
shareholders of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Credit
liobilier are interested, is in no way compromised by this
inj unction. GEo. FRANCIS TRAIN.

The shoe business at Lynn, Eastern Massachu-
setts, for the past year is estimated at $17,000,000, and
ale prospect is good for an excellent fall trade.

The Legislature of Connecticut has appropriated
35,000 'for the 'soldiers' monument to bo placed in the
Evergreen Cemetery at New Haven, is honour of the 10G
stranger soldiers buried there.

The city Government of Hartford has voted
330,000 to pay for carrying on the water works at West

city park.
'I he trial of Colonel Berdan's new breech-loading
rifle at the armoury grounds, at Springfield, proved satis-
factory to himself and the friends of the pioc3. The trial
was made at distances varying from 300 to 1,050 yards, in
.he former case the moan deviation being 3 inches, and is
the latter 20 inches. The gun is upon the sliding-bolt
principle, and resembles the Chassepot gun with which
the french troops are armed. Colonel Borden already has
orders for the gun from the Russian, English, and Aus-
trian Governments.

If the New York World is to be believed, Mrs•
Elizabeth Cady Stanton has been emptying pails of water
out of her window over the dauntless intoxicated who page
that way. Strong as is her pen, wide as is the field of the
Revolution, still the lady editor considers it necessary to
throw all her physical strength into the movement, and
with buckets of water to bring drunkards within the pale
(pail) of temperance.
A telegram from Rome says—General Kanzler
haS forwarded a letter, dated the 25th ult., to the American
General Carroll Lewis, communicating the positive in-
structions of the Popo to abandon recruiting in the United
States for the projected volunteer battalion for the Papal
service. General Lewis's mission is therefore terminated•
Lhe letter expresses his Holiness's thanks for the Gone-
cal's zealous activity in the matter. _ .

WAGES.—On the complaints of mechanics of in-
sufficient pay the New York Evening Post says since
the :beginning of the war the expenses of mechanics
have greatly increased, while their pay has not ad-
vanced at all in proportion. Clothes and provisions
have almost doubled in price, and board and lodg-
ing Lava also become much more costly. An increase of
pay has been demanded by several classes of workmen/
mud this movement has gradually spread to the ethos/
until nearly all have struck for higher wages. Some hay°
(ailed in securing an advance, but the majority have been
successful. The following is a statement of the amouet
of increase given and the present pay:—
Trade Rate of increase. Present pal'
Carpenters
Cabinet makers 2O do. 19.00
Labourers
Wood carvers
Bricklayers lO do. 30.00
Pianoforte makers
Stair builders l5 do. 25.50
Brass founders
Iron moulders
Stone rubbers.. 2O do. 11.00
In addition to these, the following trades are organizing
strikes or have actually begun them : coachmakers, derrinl‘"
men, bakers, housesmiths, clothing cutters, upholsterer/'
tailors, and coopers. Most of the mechanics demand
return to the pay of last year's busy season, though a fell
have struck for an increase upon those rates.
