BovOru-A bunch Of fiowers.-wesster.


This little French word has become part
and parcel of the yernacular of the country.
It has usurped, in every day life, the place of
the good old English term ''bunch Of flowers"
and even those who can't render the ortho-
graphy of it correctly would regard them
selves as inelegant not to use it. in preference
to their mother tongue. Still it can never
become poetical. There is no sentiment
really in the term. Suppose the poet had
written
Bring bouquets, bring bouquets for the bride to
wear,
They were born 10 blush in her shining hair"
instead of what he did write
81 Bring flowers, bring fowers,''
wouldn't every body have written him down
stupid? To be sure they would! Why, then,
should 90 bouquet be on the tongue every
time one speaks Of a bunch of flowers? 1t
is piece OF silly affectation, discreditable to
to the age. Give US good old English and let
the French go to the dell!

OUR MAP-A WORD OF EXPLANATION.

We give to-day map of portion OF
Nebraska Territory, and the route from this
CITY to the Gold Mines. In all material res
poets, this map may be relied upon as correct.
II is taken from Government surveys and
explorations, and in its topography is
correct, in every particular. The direct
ness Of the route speaks for itself-it
is as direct as any known road in North
America. 1t follows the valley of the Platte
River the entire distance. The figures along
the road, denote the distance between inter-
mediate points. The route denoted on the
map, as the "Cheyenne Trail" cannot be
Travelled by cmisrants. 1t crosses the d!-
vides at the heads of all streams running
north to the Platte and south to the Kansas
and Arkansas-oyer a barren, sandy plain,
without wood, water or grass. Traders and
the Cheyenne Indians sometimes traverse
this route with ''pack mules" but to no great
extent.
The Council Bluffs nonpareil. [volume] (Council Bluffs [Iowa]) 1857-1867, 1859-01-22

for the traye! to and from the mines
Irnon being asked what he considered the
difference in the distance, in favor Of this
route, taking into consideration the actual
distance and comparative ease of travel, he
replied SIN the neighborhood Of 200
miles,
We might extend our remarks to an
inordinate length, and adduce additional
evidence from Government officers. in favor
of the Platte Valley Route, but, believing
that but few will be induced to take the
extreme southern route, we will content
ourself with the above.
A Terribly Cold Day
Monday, january 10th was a colder dav
at the Eastward than has been known for
vears-the thcrmomctrical historian of
Brooklyn Heights says, colder than has been
experienced for seventy years. At Utica,
llcrkimcr, and Little Falls, the mercury stood
at - degrees below zero at st. townsville.

Point, y. Y, So; Dunkirk, at zero Phla-
Lclphia, 3 below. The New York Times
says of the intensity of the cold in that
city:
'Pcople suddenly began to discover that
their stoves, steam pipes and registers did not
give any heat, and business men, as they
hurried along didn't know what to make of
the icicles which hung from their moustaches
like the pendants from glass chandelier.
Several cases of suffering have already been
reported, and one of an omnibus driver hay
ing been actually frozen to death. The most
remarkable effects of the cold were seen on
the Bay and rivers, where thick cloud of
steam was seen all day, looking as though
thousand boilers were letting their steam es-
cape. Thc,tempcrature of the air was so much
lower than that Of the water, that the vapor
assembled from the surface rs though the
Gulf Stream, with its tepd pillows, had sud
denly made divergence through Long
Island Sound, into our harbor.
The docks along the East and North Riv-
crs were frozen, making it difficult, and in
some cases impossible, to move vessels lying
In them without the aid of steam tugs. The
prospect is that the steam ice boats will soon
bcrequred to keep the channel open. Among
the number Of cases in which people We're
badly frozen during the day, was that of
man named Webb, who was driving one of
the Broadway and Sixth and Seventh avenue
stages. lie was taken from bis seat in
helpless condition, and carried to DRUG

and he revived. His hands and feet were
badly frozen. At near nightfall newsboy

The above table of distances may be relied
upon as correct, as the road from Council
Bluffs to Fort kearney was measured by
chain; from Kearney to crossing of South
Platte, by odomctcr, at lcas: hrcnty times :;
from crossing of South Platte to Cherry
Creek, with odometer, by FREMONT, in
1923, and a portion Of the way by Lieut..
BRYAN, in 1876. The measurements of
Fremont, STANsBERRY and BRYAN, agree in
tho main. varying few miles only in inter
mediate points. Their distances arc-from
Council Bluffs to Fort kearncy, from $50 to
Isl miles: from kcarncy to crossing of
South Platte, from lj6 to 100 miles; from
crossing OF South Platte to Cherry Creek,
from 100 to 2oS miles. Lieut.. BRYAN, Of
Typographical Engineers, made the distance
from Fort kcarney to Lodge Pole Creek.
1872, 72-l00-l7 IA miles less than our
table. Taking his distance, it would make
the distance from Council Bluffs to Cherry
Creek, only j223 miles. The elevation Of the
