EMBARRASSING MISTAKE OF FIFTH AVENUE On
HIBus DRIvER-Two Fifth avenue ladies' were prom
enadng that fashionable street pleasant afternoon
not long since, when they discovered a female
acquaintance passing them in an omnibus. Anxious
to attract her attention, they made various demon
strations and finally began to kiss their hands to her
the motions and thought they were intended for him
He hesitated until the kissing was repeated and then,
no longer doubtful, returned it with will, to the
great merriment OF the spectators, and the evident
disgust Of the ladies' in question, who went of with
a cloud on their brows, so smiling moment before.

The Great Highway.

EDITOR NATIONAL DEMocRAT:-It appears
by the late papers, that the very important
link of railway called the Hannibal and St
Joseph Railroad" was so near completion
that n grand celebration was to have come
off at the latter place on the 22d ult.
To my mind the consummation of this long
needed enterprise, viz: the opening of great
national highway between the Atlantic sea
board and Kansas is fit occasion for re-
ioicing, not only in Missouri and neighbor-
ing States, but more particularly in our
young and prosperous California. 1t fully
completes one-half of that gigantic chain Of
railway which, ere long, must bind in iron
fetters the golden shores of the Pacific with
the mercantile metropolis Of the Atlantic.
True, there are mountains and arid deserts
vet to lie iraversed, but that these obstacles
can and will be overcome, no one familiar
with the imperative demands of commerce
| and travel, will doubt.
/ 1t is not my wish now to enter into a dis
4 cussion of the advantages of rival routes, nor
| to estimate how much more business men
would be willing to give for passage this
way to and from the States, nor the increase
of travel; but my olject is simply TO predict
that if the people will it, this truly National
American enterprise can be built in less than
ten years. But to accomplish so desirable an
end, the people must act-act with all that
, ardor and clrnestness of purpose which is
characteristic of the American nation. In the
first place let no politician be tolerated who
is not in favor of the immediate commence
ment of the enterprise. In the second place
let every convention discard partyism and
unite in demanding of Congress that all pub
lie lands on the contemplated route shall be
build the road And in the third place, the
people, and especially Californians should
refuse all aid and comfort to that party or
candidate for the Presidency in 1860, that is
not fully committed to use all constitutional
endeavors to aid ard foster an enterprise of
such truly national importance.
If these things are done, we will soon see
capitalists and emigrants focking to and set
tling along the most feasible route. Congress
will be then forced to adopt such a plan as
will create a railroad fund out of the public
lands orappropriate money toward building
section after section, as it may be most
needed and the grand highway of the Amer
lean continent will be gradually extended,
without draining the nation of its money.
and by simply building up communities as
it progresses. CARL.
