A'S' THE srAor nouTEs
Holidays overland mail now starts at Fort
Kearney ono hundred and seyenty-iye miles
from omaha, Passengers and mads going that
distance on the railroad. From KearIey the
stages keep on the south side of the river Platte
until they reach Denver City. pontoon
bridge has been sent M The road and will be
thrown over the river 40 Cottonwood, and the
connection with the road at ForC Kearney be
abandored on November 8. thus saving eighty
miles more OF staging, and leaving only torty-
eight hours of stages from the road to Denver
City, When the road Stops ior the winter II
will probably have reached Julegourg aud The
transfer be made at that point, leaving about
thlrty-siX hours OF stages for the next three
months.
THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONERS.
The Pacific Railway is especially favored
among American railway enterprises, because
of the existence of natural obstacles and bulk
Of undertaking that would rest fatally on any
embarking OF private capital in the work. IL
could not be built without Government aid
The Government has appointed its commits
soners to supervise and examine every mile of
track before it Is accepted; and this was faith
fully done by the commissioners present on the
late occasion. Their functions are not an or
namenial sinecure, as the history OF their con-
nection with the road abundantly shows; rail-
road men all agree that IL is well built A bit
of history pertaining to the eastern division Of
the Union Pacific and Kansas route well illus
some months ago, and to the loss of contractors,
but out OF the controversy as to points of diff
terence OF opinion grew the most important
summoning in testimony ever gathered from
railroad experts.
THE BUSINESS AsP PECT.
It is very difficult to estimate the business Of
the Pacific road. Colorado, Utah, and Montana
have population OF probably a quarter oil a
million. In 1864 it was estimated, upon very
carefully prepared data that forty millions OF
pounds OF ireights were carried over the Plains
in wagons. In 1865 it increased to two hundred
millo of pounds, and employed 5000 wagons,
$4,000 CATTLE 10000 horses and mules, and 10, 600
men as drivers, guards, etc, making the cost for
freght5 alone last year nearly enough to pay
$50 600 per mile for the construction ofthe road.
Thousands of passengers were carried at 500
per head from the Missouri river to Colorado,
and $3.50 to Salt Lake City. Now the Overland
Stage Company charge Sl25 from Omaha to
Denver, $3.50 to Salt Lake City, and about $40O
through to California. 1t the Pacific Railroad
charge one halfthe present rates they will double
and quadruple the freight and passenger busi.
ness, and make the road profitable the first year
this independent OF the business from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, that will only commence
when the road shall have been completed from
ocean to ocean and the tide of the worlds COM
merce ebbs and flows through Chicago.

Cheerful.

Artemus Ward, in describing his jour-
ney from California says: "The driver
with whom | sat outside, informed me, as
we slowly rolled down the fearful noun
tain road which looked down on either
side into the appalling ravine, that he
has met accidents in his time that had
cost the California stage company a great
deal of money, because said he, 'juries
is agin US on principle, and every man
who sues US is sure to recover. But it
will never be so agin, not with me, you
bet How is that?' l said. Why, you
see, he replied, that corpses never sue
for damages, but manned people do. And
the next time | have an overturn, shall
90 round and carefully examine the pas
sengers Them is dead shall let alone !;
but them as is mutilated | shall finish
with the king bolt Dead folks don't sue.
They amt on it, Thus by anecdote did
the driver cheer me up"

How You can Avoid Bad Husbands.

l. Never marry for wealth. A wo-
mans life consisteth not in the things
she possesseth.
2. Never marry fop, or one who struts
about, dandy-like, in his silk gloves and
ruffies, with silver cane, aud rings on
his fingers. Bewarel there is q trap.
3. Never marry a niggard-a close
listed mean, sordid wretch, who save eve
ry penny, or spends its grudingly. Take
care less he stint you to death.
4. Never marry stranger, or one
whose character is not known or tested
Some females jump right into the fire
with their eyes wide open.
D. Never marry NOPE or drone-
one thing after another, and let things
take their own course.
3. Never marry man who treats his
mother and sisters unkindly or indiffer-
emily. Such treatment is a sure indica-
ton of mean and wicked man.
Z. Never on any account, marry a gam
bier, profane person, one who in the
least speaks lightly of God or religion
Such man can never make good
husband.
8. Never marry sloyen, a man who is
negligent of his person or in his dress,
and is filthy in his habits. The external
appearance is an index of the heart.
9. Shun the rake as snake-a viper
very demon.
10. Finally, never marry man who
is addicted to the use of ardent Spirits
Depend upon it you are bitter off alone
than you would be were you tied to man
whose breath is polluted, and whose vitals
are being knawed out by alcohol
In the choice of wife take the obedi-
ent daughter of a good mother.

The End of a Gambler

Among the innumerable anecdotes re-
lated of the ruin of persons at play. there
Is one worth relating, which refers to
Mr' Porter, gentleman who, in the
reign OF Queen Anne, possessed one of
the best estates in Northumberland tho
"hoie OF which he lost at hazard in twelve
months. According to the story told of
TINS madman-for we cannot call him
nothing else-when he had Just comple-
ted the loss of his last acre. at a GAMING
house In London, and was proeeed;n9
down stairs to throw himself into a car.
rage to convey him to his house in
town, he resolved upon having one more
throw to try to retrieve his losses, and
Immediately returned to the room where
the play was going on. Nerved for the
worst that might happen, he insisted that
the person he had been playing with
should give him one chance Of recovery
or fight with him.
His proposition was this: That his car
rage and horses, the trinkets and loose
money In his pocket, his town house, his
plate and furniture-in short, all he had
left IN the world, should be valued in a
lump at certain sum, and be thrown at
a single cast. No persuasion could pre-
vail on him to depart from his purpose
He threw, and lost; then, conducting the
winner to the door, he told the coaciman
there was his master, and marched forth
into the dark ard dismal streets, without
house or home, or any creditable means
of support. Thus beggared, he retired to
an obscure dwelling in cheap part of
the town, subsisting chiefly on charity,
sometimes acting as the marker at bill
lard table, and occasionally as helper
in a livery stable.
In this miserable condition, with naked.
ness and famine staring him in the face,
exposed to the taunts and insults of those
whom he had once supported, he was recog-
nized by an old friend, who gave him ten
guineas to purchase necessaries. He ex-
pended five in procuring decent apparel;
with the remaining FIVE he repaired to
common gaming house aud increased them
to fifty. He then adjourned to one of the
higher order of houses, sat down with
former associates, and won G20, ,000. Re-
turning the next day, he lost all, was
once more penniless, and, after subsisting
many years in abject poverty, died beg
gar In st. Giles.

A Boy Struck Blind for Blasphemy.

The vengeance of the Almighty was
visited On youth named Richards, on
last Sunday few weeks ago, in the most
awful and sudden manner. 1t appears
that the lad, who is 13 years of age, and
the son Of parents in very humble cir
cumstanees, was playing in the street with
four or five other lads of about his own
age, at cat and dog" Richards and
his companions had been playing for some
time, when a dispute arose among them
as to the notches and jumps he had scored.
Richards declared that he had made more
than twenty, and his opponents protested
that he had not scored so many. High
words and bad language were freely used
on both sides. Each boy accused the
other of falsehood, and at length Rich
ards, failing to convince his companions
of the trUthfulness of his statement, few
into violent rage, and fercely shouted i:
Z" May God strike me blind if L have
not made more than twenty"
He had scarely uttered the adjuration
before he let the " dog" fall out of his
hands, and throwing up his arms, sudden
ly exclaimed:
", dear, cannot see
His companions ran to him, and finding
what he said was true, at his request led
him home, where on examination it was
found that thick film had overspread
each of his eyes. In this miserable con-
dition the unhappy youth has remained
ever since, and we are informed that
there is little or no prospect of sight be-
ing restored.-Brighton Observer.

Advice to Young Men.

Young man, are you looking for wife
If SO, keep your eyes and ears wide open
or you may be wofully deceived. a prct
ty face and graceful figure are very at
tractive and desirable, if the mind and
disposition but correspond In the par.
lor and from home she may be all your
" fancy painted her." but, look well to it,
you may be seeing only the bright side
Before you commit yourself fully, use
strategy to ascertain her every day dispo-
sltlon and temper. She may be Just the
opposite to what she appears. By all
means find out if she is thoughtful and
afectionate as daughter and sister. IF
she fills these two Offices well, you may
have very little fear in trusting your hap
piness in her keeping. But the young
lady whosits in the parlor with white hands
and taper fingers, amusing her idle visi-
tors, or reading trashy novels, while her
delicate and perhaps aged, mother is do
ing the drudgery of a large family, shun
as you would viper, for it is rare in
stance that you will find a disobedient
daughter or neglected sister makes good
wife.
Ii she speaks lightly'of religion, or the
temperance cause, view her with distrust-
full eyes, for she will surely not be a suit
able person to guide and direct your chill
dren in the path of duty.
Assure yourself that she is not CO.
quette. If she is your time will be worse
than thrown away in trying to gain what
she does not possess, heart. Take the
advice of one who has seen much, and do
not try the experiment, or you may find
when too late, you have made mistake
of lifetime.
In conclusion let me say, if you hope
ever to possess the richest boon that can
be bestowed by heaven-the undivided
affections Of a true woman-striye every
day Of your life to become worthy of her !;
or you never deserve to get her; and [
hope you never may, for it is sad sight
to sec couple unequally yoked, one pull
ling at one end Of the rope and the other
at the opposite END, without any congeni-
ality of thought Or feeling. Heaven for
bid that such may be the fate of any one
whose eyes may rest upon these few hints,
that have been given with the earnest
hope that they may be of profit to some
thoughtless young person,
