THE UNION PACIFIC II. Il.
This great national work Is being push-
ed forward with wonderful rapidity.--
The cars were expected to reach jules
burg tFort Sedgwick) on last Friday
.Iulcsburgis in the Northeast corner Oh
Colorado Territory. The road Is peihg
built In the most substantial manner,
and ~ stocked with the very best cars
aud engines. The station houses are
elegant strucfures-built of brick.
Col. Boyilton, of the Cincinnati Gaz-
cite. who accompanied Senator Wade's
marty on its excursion over the road,
piycs a vivid description of the marvel
ans prooress with which the road is be-
ing built. The eXcursionists daily shot
az the wild antclopes from the car WIN
dows, and one night, while cncamped i'll
tents alongside the track some friendly
Pawnee Indians came into the camp ana
favored the party with war dance,
while the savage Sioux could he seen on
the bluffs, in the distance. The picture
the locomotive invading the haunts OF
the rcd man and the wild beast faster
than they can retreat before it, and the
wild Indian dancing the war dance along
side the painting locomotive-looks more
like romance than reality
THE Ohio State Sabbath School Con-
vention was in session at Xenia last week.
Mr.. VIM. Alexander, of Bridgeport, was
present as a delegate from the Belmont
County Sabbath School Union.
"How to train children in habits OF
Ypo,,lar church attendance" was among
the topics discussed Rev.-Col. Gran
willie Moody believed the real relief III
the matter to lie in having no church III
the morning. Let them all be held III
the afternoon. 1t is impossible to have
the Sabbath School ut 8 "A. NJ, and at tho
same time have the pupils and teachers
at the preaching service.
Hon. Samuel Galloway thought manu-
script sermons much in the way of in
teresting the little people. Said he: u
| were to use manuscript on you here,
could put you to sleep in fifteen minutes
but by looking yousquare in the face, an
YOU square in mine we can keep awall
an hour or an hour and half" All VIII
have seen Gall0way's face while speak
ing will appreciate this.
