Union Pacific Railway Excursion
ST. LOUIS, June 3.
Editors LHtslEigesesT:
On the arrival OF the Union Pacific
Railway excursion party az ST. Louis
yesterday morning, il vas conveyed 20
the Southern Hotel. There every aiten-
ton has been paid that the most fssiid-
iOus co1ld Imagine, and our days res:
has proved as pleasant Is ourtI0 days
travel. After dinner the eIcursioaIzLs
rode around the city in Carriages proyi-

The drive extended through the pin

Lessons Of any other kind. II was
pleasant 10 see The multitude ENJOYING
and improving their weekly rest, and
especially to see that every one obssrv-
I'd the most scrupulouS care not TO in
jure the gift of their benefActor.
A noticeable feature Of ST. Louis is the
literal Specification its people seem TO
give the words making Sunday a DAY
OF rest. They really enjoy the day.
The Germans tbroDg their parks and
caves" through the day, and rest their
eyes at a High Dutch rendering of the
Black Crook on Sunday evening.
Thousands were out witnessing a game
Of base ball, and met two Catholic
priests with two mines oftbeir pupils re-
turning from quiet little Sunday
match out on the commons. In the
cool Of the deepening dusk, the door
steps are filled with pleasant parties,
chatting, laughing, resting from the
labors Ofths past week and for those
Of the week TO come. Nothing is puri-
tanical, everything seems free.
Bat have got some ways on the line
OF our drive. Amer Shaw's Garden, We
visited Lafayette Park, through which
were scattered groups OF happy Sab
Dath-breaking righteous sinners.
The rest Of yesterday and to day un-
til O'Clock we're spent by all hands in
hunting uPOld friends in St. Louis and
making new ones, especially among
those who here join our crowd, now
sIelled to something like one hundred
and hfty souls, and mos. OF them good
big souls. Among the ST. Louis re-
cruits are John d. Perry, President OF
the road, at whose invitation we are
here, and Gen. Thomas L. Price, its
managing director, from whom our
West Firginians received none the less
consideration from the fact that both
these gentlemen were Virginia born,
Gen. Price being native Of PilisyIYa-
MIA county and Mr.. Perry of Hamp-
shire, though reared in MonougaIia.
Gen. Hancock and Gen. Hagen also 90
out on our train as far as Leayenworth.
whence the. foemeu soon depart for an.
other talk and likely fight with the,
"Ted man of the lowest" as one
Of our oratorical Legislators calls an
Indian when growing eloquent on the
theme Of niger.
Last night some PresbyieriAn dele
gates from Ireland addressed a sleepy.
sweaty audience at the hall OF the Mer-
camille Library Association, the largest
room in the city, not far from our head
quarters, while from the opposite dIrec-
ton the audible squeak of the
youth that calls the figures for a Dutch
dance, mingled in sweet accord with
the chorus OF neighboring niger min
strels and the guffaW OF their audience.
SOothed by such sounds we sank to
sleep, and were reused after a reason
able nap by the hum OF day, busy even
in the dull times of st. Louis, TOR such
everybody proclaims this to be.
The Kansas fever for female suffrage
begins to warm the Missouri, at least
the 81. Louis, pulse; soms OF the best
ladies in the city, those who could
safely proclaim the credit of most OF
its generous charity to all deserving
objects, have organized them
selves in favor OF the right
Of woman TO say who shall rule her
and possibly whether she is TO be ruled
at all or not. At any rate II is evident
that some OF the household soTereigns
object to being political serfs, and don't
desire to be classed any longer with the
Idiots, paupers aud rebels. However
We can tell more about this matter
when we get to Kansas. And until
then, and may be longer, let it rest.
AT $50 P. M, this June Sd, we
leave st. Louis, our party filling five
cars, and follow the course Of empire in
bee line. Yours, FATaoH.
