from New York to Salt Lake, and four
days thence to the Pacific! If you
leave New York on Sunday evening,
you leave Chicago on Tue esday you ar
at Cheyenne Friday at Fort Laramie
and Saturday at Fort Bridger. There
take the stage, and on Sunday morn
ing you are in Salt Lake City. Thence
the stage conveys you to the Central
Pacific railroad, which you reach on
Wednesday. Wednesday night finds
you in Sacramento and Thursday
morning in San Francisco! This is
annihilatinc distance certainly and
so completely that if the courteous
Col. Gray had n assured US he la |
just done it, and that, toe, without see
ing hostile milan we should have
been 10th to credit the semi-miracle.

"A female writcr-not ':strong-
minded ono cither-thus holds forth
on prevailing gentleman fashion.
Of course she knows whereof she
speaks:
The press has never been remiss
in deprecating the follies of the fe-
male sex, upon occasions, in style
of female apparel, but tits a notice
able fact that the popinjay style of
brooches now in vogue, more ridicu-
lous than anything the women ever
wore, is unnoticed. Female lowell
ness is such that it can make char
ming any extreme fashion but what
length of familiarity, pray heaven,
can ever make tolerablc, much less
comely, the neither appendages of a
human crane, wound about with
clcth so tightly as to stop circula-
tion?
The present style of pantaloons is
neither comfortable, comely, or
economical. The 'sswell' that
adopts it can neither stoop nor sit
down without positive danger Of an
exposure in his person from ruptures
caused by tension.
When we see these fashionables
of the male persuasion in the street,
we are reminded Of the eNhortation
Of the raw boned. Informed preach
er when illustrating the wonders of
creation. Raising his long skinny
arms high above his head, he ex-
claimed, "God made this frame. -
A voice in the congregation replied,
"then his tools were mighty dull.
Here comes a six-foot gallant
with a number ten boot and figure
like pair of tongs. There is not
enough of his legs to make Il shadow
and he walks as if each foot was a
double base viol. BY his side, per-
haps, is another deyotee of the
same style, half his length, whose
make up reminds one of plumb
pudding perehed on the handle of a
pair of pinccrs. There they &c, the
extremes of folly, and the very cs-
sence Of ludicrousness. Nothing
women ever wore will compare in
folly, with tight brooches on ban
dy-legged human biped.

A Queer Hymn Book.

A good joke is told of a preacher
in Nebraska, who had dined with a
friend just before afternoon services.
AS it happened, this friend occas-
ionaily luxuriated in a smile of the
ardent, and sometimes carried mo
rocco-covered flask in his oyercoat
pocket.
BY mistake, the minister took
the friends overooat for his own on
his departure, and, walking into the
pulpit began the exercises without
dotflng the garment, it being rather
chilly in the room.
Looking very ministeria!ly over
his congregation from behind his
spcctaeles, he began drawing from
his pocket, as he supposed his hymn
book, with tn, Introductory remark
that the congregation would sing
from particular page which he Sc
lected beforehand.
The minister held the supposed
book up in full sight of the congre-
CATION, and attempted to open it
sideways, hut it was no go.
The situation was realized in a
moment, but, alas too late.
His reverence was dumbfounled,
the whole scene was made ludicrous
by a fellow in the back part of the
congregation, not altogether too So
ber, who drawled out:
Say, Mister can we all (hie) jine
in that ar hymn?'

variably his wife's comfort and re-
creation that was made to suffer-
under the plea of economy.
Mrs Brown sighed. She had
been married long enough to know
that expostulation was useless with
husband, at least with Mr.. Brown
but the disappointment was great
err than she thought it wise to show
Her husband, however saw her feel
ings; and was vexed and sat, for the
rest Of the evening silent and sulky
This did not add to the happines of
his wife, so that the hours wore away
gloomy enough.
There arc a great many hus bands like
Mr.. Brown, ana quite as many we
suspect like Mr. Jones. In thousand
ways, indeed wives suffer from the
selishness of those who have sworn
to love and cherish them,' but ,alas!
forget to keep their VOWS, at least,
in little things.

A Singular Adventure. .

Once upon a time a traveller
stepped into stage-coach. He
was young man starting in life.
He found six passengers about him,
all gray-headed and extremely aged
men. The youngest< appeared to
have seen at least eighty winters.
Our younger traveller, struck with
the singularly mild and happy as.
pect which distinguished all his
tcllow-passengcrs, determined to
ascertain the secret of long life
and art of making old age comforta-
BILE.
He addressed the one apparently
the eldest, who told him he had al
ways led u regular and abstemious
life, eating vegetables and drinking
water. The young man was rather
daunted at this, lnasmuch as he
liked the good things of this life.
He addressed the second, who as
tonished him by saying he had al
ways eaten roast beef and gone to
bed regularly fuddled for the last
seventy years, adding, all depended
on regularity. The third had pro-
longed his days by never seeking or
accepting office; the fourth by reso-
lutely abstaining from all political
and religious controversies; and the
fifth by going to bed at sunset and
rising at dawn. The sixth was ap-
parently much younger than the
other tive-his hair was less gray
and there was more of it-a placid
smile, denoting a perfectly easy
conscience, mantled his face, and
his voice was jocund and strong.
They were all surprised to learn
that he was by ten years the Oldest
man in thu coach.
"How is it that you have preserved
the freshness of life?' exclaimed our
young travller.
| The old gentleman Immediately
answerd the young traveller by
saying
IL have drunk water and wine
[ have eaten meat and vegetables-I
have dabbled in politics and written
religious pamphlcts-I have some
times, gone to bed at midnight;
and got up at sunrise and at noon;"
he then, fixing his eyes intensely upon
the young man concluded with thi S
remark, ''but | always pay promptly )
for my ncwspaper!''
Then the other old men also chimed
in with -" Of course we always
pay promptly, and.in advance, for
our newspap crs. No man deserves
long life who does not de this -
Then the young man resolved that
he also would render himself deserv-
ing of long life and Immediately SUBJ
scribed for five newspapers paying
for them all in advance. Hs is
living yet
Reader-go thou and do likewise.
But first pay the old bill of arrears
you owe at this office.

Eleven Days to San Franc is.

Only eleven days now from New
York to San Francisco by the oye-
land. route! Only about three hun
dred and sixty miles Of the entire dis
tance in coaches-all the rest by rail.
And, which is still more
to tho purpose, the railway is "as
easy and as smooth going
and the trains as we'll on time, as any
railroad in the United States. "The
coaching, too, is"over as smooth a
roadbed as any line from New Yorkto
Chicago" And the distance ridden
in coaches is diminishing at the rate
of from three to four miles day the
rate at which the two Pacific railroad
are being built towards the point at
which they are to meet each other!
1t is hardly possible to realise
such wonderful progress as this; but
Col. W. T. Gray who has just
passed over the whole route hence
to Sacramento and back, assures
us that these statements are facts.
He is a travelling agent for the rail
way and steamship service, and
had been in Europe for some time
stirring up emigration thence to
the great west of this expanding
country. lie expects to bring over
with him, next spring, large ex-
cursion party OF distinguished per,
sons. from England and Scotlnd to
enjoy a trip over the Pacific railroad
and back, as the prelude to a food ol
emigration that'will soon surround
Mormondom in Utah with the ele-
| ments of Christian civilization, and
| tempt every extra Wife of every
! Mormon to elope and enjoy a husband
/! for her self. Only think Of one week

know how to fry potatoes! There is
nothing so easy to get, and yet SO
palatable for breakfast, with thick
tender beefsteak or a mutton-chop
tizzing from the gridiron. To fry
raw potatoes properly, they should
be pared, cut lengthwise into slices,
an eighth of an inch in thickness,
dropped into pan over the fire con. .
tanning hot beef drippings, turned
frequently, nicely Drowned all over,
but never burned. The addition of
little salt and pepper while in the
pan, and little -four drcdged over
them, is an Improvement.

A youngster came home after a
glorious time in the puddles. his
face all aglow and his boots full of
water. The punishm ent Of staying
in the house for the remainder Of
the day, did not seem very hard;
but as his little heart warmed up
with the recollection of the triumphs
of the morning, when he had waded
deeper than any of his playmates
dared to, he could bear the restraint
no longer, and went to his mother,
saying please, mother, whlp me,
and let me go out again J" Human
nature could not resist such an ap
peal. and tho the mothers heart
had some misgivings as to the pro-
priety of indulging her son, he was
allowed his liberty, and received a
carcss instead Of fogging.
