DINING ON THE RAIL.-The improve
ments in Railway travel in the last two
or three wears have been so constant
and remarkable that the public has al
most ceased TO be excited by any novel
ty. The .'palacef sleeping car has be-
come a common luxury, and the palace
table car" is also becoming an every day
blessing. By the recent enterprise OF
the liberal Chicago & St. Louis rail
road, this feat is accomplished on every
passenger train by means of the splen-
did flying hotels, fremont" "Delmon-
ico," and southern"
One car will accommodate fOrty-eight
persons at once, and as there is plenty
of time, a whole train full can be at
tended to in turn with very little incon-
venience. The charges are reasonable,
from fifty to seventy-five cents giving
good square meal.
This arrangement, by saving the time
heretofore required in stopping for re-
freshments, shOrtens the time between
Chicago and st. Louis fifty minutes.
1t is to be hoped that it viii before
long be introduced upon all our great
lines of travel, doing away with the
whole list of 'Mugby Junction nulsan-
ces which now ruin the travellers health
and temper.

KANSAS CITY & SANTA FE RAIL.
ROAD

1t is hardly necessary to point out to
Western men the trebly demonstrated
advantages of railroads. Whatever
their value may be in the East, where
good common roads and other means
of communication exist, they are abso-
lutely the life of the West, which it is
not too much to say, could not have been
settled. at least for many years TO come,
without them. Too many railroads,
wisely planned and located, cannot be
built. There is no investment which so
uniformly returns many times the value
of the original outlay. To Western
men, however, it is hardly necessary to
dwell upon this, for they are daily wit
nesses of the miracles which railroads
work in community, and always well
come their Introduction.
To-day we propose to call especial
attention to the Kansas City & Santa
Fe Railroad, a company organized un-
der the laws of the State of Kansas,
and comprising among its officers not
only citizens of that State, but some of
our own best known business men, as
will be seen by the following list:
Directors-II6ward M. Holden. NJ.
Dively, w. III. Morgan, j. E. Hayes, II.
E. Stevenson, j. B. Bruner, z. Z. Elder,
w. f. Sheldon, L. G. Bowles, Perry
Fuller and r. Stevens. p. P. Elder,
President; w. II. Morgan, Secretary !;
j. E. Hayes, Treasurer.
At present it is not proposed to make
an effort to extend the road beyond
Emporia, Kansas, to which place, about
seventy miles, the road is run by way
of Olathe, Gardner and Ottawa. The
Fort Scott road from this city to Olathe
is already built, and it is now proposed,
we understand, to submit to the citizens
of Johnson county, Kansas, lin which
county Olathe is situated) a proposition
to vote 100000 in bonds in aid of the
Santa Fe road, the bonds to run thirty
years, and to bear seven per cent.
interest. The advantages to our own
city are so apparent that they need not
be dwelt upon. The Neosho Valley,
which the road will open to market, is
one of the garden spots of Kansas, and
needs sufficient outlet only to rise into
commanding mportance.-KdnsGS CITY

Go TO FARMING.-A good living is
what comparatively few men succeed in
making in village or city life, and yet
nothing is more easy of accomplish
ment on a farm. Besides, there is a
pleasure in cultivating and embellishing
the earth, improving and increasing it's
products, and thus adding to the aggre-
gate of human happiness. Why, then,
should young men hesitate to be farm
ers? 1t is both profitable and honor
able. 1t is the nearest approximation
to independence that a man, as MEM
Der of society, can make. A gentleman
farmer-and all farmers are or should be
gentlemen-belongst to an order of no
bility that is not indebted to place-hold-
ers for installation, and may, if he choos-
es, be ranked among the greatest bene-
factors of the human race. Let all the
idle young men go to work on farms
and quit seeking third and fourth-rate
clerkships. In short, go to farming and
quit begging.

The beavers are at work for the Uni
on Pacific Railroad. DIR. A. Burnham,
who has the contract for getting out
ties and floating them down the Lara
mic river, from the mountains to the
track at Wyoming, found it necessary
to rebuild dams at different points.
Parties were set at work erecting the
dam several days ago, and when the
men left their work at night, beavers
working throughout the night, doing a
vast amount of work in a satisfactory
manner. Not only this, but in two or
three instances where breaks had occur
red they repaired them in the most
workman-like manner. The amount
of labor already performed by them is
worth hundreds of dollars.
