A SPLENDID SIGHT, The Ill. Cen

is crossed by the Terre Haute & Alton
Railroad. Every day at P. M, is
seen at this point one ofthe most splend-
id effects of the triumph of mind over
space and matter, that can be witness
ed anywhere. lis that of four trains
coming from four different directions.
arriving at the same point at the same
time to a second every day. They can
be seen as they approach for ten m lies
in each direction, the prairies tire be-
ing smooth, broad expanse, stretch
ing away to the horizon without an in
equality to obstruct the sight. As they
arrive they approach their cowcatch-
ers within twelve feet Of each other, as
though exchanging salutations, when
gracefully backing,s[as though bowling
an adieu two ofthe trains go on switch
es, while the other two scream away
over the rail iron bound prairie. The
trains left, then go on the main, tracks
again, and they are off and away. To
our mind, more superb triumph of man
and machinery, cannot be exhibited
anywhere than at NATION, on the occa.

Republicans elect their Treasurer by 300 major
