personal pr jud in favor of this gentle

rnE BURLINGTON AID CHICAGO RAIL
ROAD.

kOAOs
The officers and agents Of this road have ex-
hibited spirit Of accommodation, particu-
lsrly in in the freight department, that is not
always shown by such fanctionarie'. In the
first opening Of road when business has not
become systematized, suitable buildings erect
ed. eide tracts constructed, and necessarily
many agents and employers either inexperi-
enced or not accustomed to act together,
vexatious delays, and mistakes, to say moth
ing Of accidents, are very liable to occur. 1t
would be strange if they did not. On our
road although doing an amount Of Freighting
entirely beyond the facilities of the road in
the present unfinished condition of its freight
depots, very few mistakes or unnecessary de-
laws have occurred. Every effort 10 made to
prevent them.
When suitable buildings have been put up
necessary sidetracks laid down, and the
whole business Of the road systemstised,
the Burlington and Chicago road under its
present Supcrintendence, will not only be one
the best managed, but one of the best paying
freight and passenger roads in the West.
And we are fully warranted in making this
| assertion hv the manner business under al
the disadvantages named, has thus far beer
conducted. We are justified in prophesy;;:s::
a very large business from that already dom
from the amount of freight and mum Der o.
passengers that already daily pass over it
when hardly known as thoroughfare; ant
not ono in . dozen of Western emigrant
knowing that there is railroad in operation
between Chicago and Burlington.

The Slave Rosetta"

Quite farce was enacted in Ohio in re-
gard to slave belonging to Rev. Mr.. Deni-
son, son-in-law to John T Ter. Some three
weeks ago, this slave was committed to the
care Of a gentleman to take from Kentucky
to Virginia. On the trip this gentleman,
with the chattle in charge, was compelled to
lie over Sunday at Columbus. 1t having
leaked out that Rosetta was slave, she was
liberated on writ Of habeas corpus, and
being under age had guardian appointed.
MIR. Denison came on to see his chatae-
gave her the choice as she had the right, of
going to Virginia as slave or remaining
free in Ohio. She chose the latter.
Mr.. Derison returned to Cincinnati, there
suore she had escaped from service in Ken
lucky, got writ from the United States
Court, had her arrested and brought back to
Cincinnati. Here she was taken from Jail
and brought before Judge Parker Of the
Court of Common Pleas, on another writ OF
habeas corpus-and discharged. But as
soon as discharged was re-arrested by Rob-
inson U. s. Marshall, and incarcerated.
Judge Parker ordered him to release her. He
refused and was committed to Jail and fined
for contempt. And he in turn was taken
before Judge Mclean on another writ and
discharged.
The fnality of the matter IS that the U. S.
comm ssioner has discharged the slave. The
Rev. gentleman has lost his niger perjured
himself, and learn d that the ordinance of
'98 is still in force, which declared that sssla-
very and involuntary servitude'' should be
torever excluded from the territory north of
the Ohio. Uncle Sam can pay the costs.

Hard Hitting.

If personality could ever be redeemed by
good.tempered, not bad humor, we have seen
no stronger instance of it than in a late pas
sage between Two Eastern Editors, in which
one Of them r~ejoins as follows:
sYou next touch upon my personal habits
but do not inform your readers that you have
often joined me in the occasional practice Of the
worst of my bad habits you impute to me. !
mean that one which you say tends to give me
the odor Of ardent spirits. As you have not
scrupled to drink copiossly at my expense, pray
be reasonably just, and say that you have done
20 il encouragement of good company, and the
propriety of having q frequent Stree blow ont"
which you know, You excruciatingly bibacious
rogue, you relish better than any man ] know.
In connection with this habit Of drinking
TO which your rjolIy red nose" shows you to be
30 freely addicted-togeiher with tobacco smo.
king, you accuse me OF having an unpaid rum
bill. 1 sarge sum-" ut one Of the hotels in c..
In this, Edmund, you lie-and the lie was made
up for the occasion. defy yoa and all your
jackails to prove that ! owe one cent to any no.
tel, or that ! ever owed a bill Of any kind which
Was not readily paid when due. But, if il were
true, it would be mean and contemplate in yon
to twit me Of failing to pay a liquor bill! which
you helped me to run up-for Fnever had a bill
for liquor in this city which you did not help
to incur.

A willing witness.

In the Municipal Court Of Boston, during the
trials of liquor cases-that is, of cases arising
under the Main law-much merriment is occa-
sionally excited by colloquies that take place
between the Court and the witness. Here is
a specimen:
Judge. Did you ever notice a "bar" in the
store Of Nj. -?
Witness. l did not.
J. Was there Q counter in the store!
w. There was.
J. What have you seen upon the counter!
w. l have noticed a pitcher.
J. Did you ever notice anything other than
a pitcher!
w. Yes, your honor, a sugar bowl.
J. What besides these articles?
w. There were some bottles.
J. Did you ever see any one drink from these
bottles!
w. Ihave.
J.. On how many occasions!
w. Several, if not more.
J. Did you ever taste the contents of them!
w. Ihave.
J. What did you call for usually!
w. Some saddle bags.
J. Was there anything, to your belief, in
toxicating in that beverage!
w. cannot say there was.
J. By what other name was this liquor
called?
w. Mrs. Dr.. Wheeler.
