OET The Tehauntepec Route will be opened
on the 9Th day of February next, and the
steamers on both sides Of the route will be
ready to connect with it. The road is built
under the grant to Col. Sloo formerly of Knox
county in this State. The carriage road is
but preliminary to Railway which the same
Company will soon begin. The road from
Minatltland, twenty miles above its mouth, on
the river Coatzualcos, which empties into the
Gulf Of Mexico, will run to Ventosa Bay on
the Pacific, a distance of 1913 miles. The route
is favorable for a railroad, the highest eleva-
tion being $50 feet, and running through q
district containing 10000 inhabitants, salubri-
Gus and fertile. Passengers will be landed al
Minatitland, and thence carried in small
steamers 70 miles, and thence by stage coach
es. distance of 109 miles to Ventosa, making
the trip from Ocean to Ocean in 36 hours
! This route will make the distance between
New York and San Francisco 1910 less thai
| by Panama, and 700 less than by Nicaragua
The saving of distance between New Orlean
and San Francisco will be much greater thai
from New York, and will probable reduce tn
time Of passage six or seven days.

he and his company will perform a play in
Philadelphia, and one in New York, on the

OF The Meriden, Conn, Transcript states,
as positive fact, that clergyman Of that
vicinity, in fit of absent t-mindedness, on a
Sunday morning, went into the pulpit of a
brother preacher of opposite faith, commenced
the service, and never discovered his error till
he arrived at the benedlction. The regular
pastor of the church, coming and finding his
pulpit occupied, quietly took his seat in pew,
and listened with great attention to his vOlun-
teer substitute, and, when he had concluded,
got up and thanked him for his excellent dis
course, and commended all that had been said

them together in "Lizzie's" carriage driving
along Lake street. They are doubtless as
happy as their bcreavments, relieved only by
the consciousness Of duty faithfully performed,
can permit. But while the suffering Of that
father and mother may be family known
from the story of the daughter, what must
have been the mental agony Of that other
daughter, unkindly banished from her moth
er's side, and driven out into the world with
out fathers blessing! What must have
been her grief when her letters, written from
prosperous city, from the house Of her
wealthy and kind husband, telling them of
her success, and of the birth of her children,
were unnoticed and unanswed? She must
have felt indeed that the hearts of that father
and mother, her sister and brothers, must
have been hardened against her. We will
say no more. That scene will live in our
memory while we can remember the holy
love of father mother, and kindred"

Louisville journal, not as one OF the curiosi-
ties of literature, but to show. what manner
of spirit pervades the lower order Of foreign
ers in this city.--the writer speaking for
himself and the rest of the Irish, says that
they syM rule in this country. Perhaps they
will; we shall see. He prays that the curse
Of the Pope may blast us. The Pope is in
the habit of cursing, and we are not, but if
wc were to get mad, and indulge little in
that way towards his Holiness, as he calls
himself, we have no doubt he would be AS
much damaged by our curse at we would be
by his.
