THE BEST RAILWAY ROUTE.

Colonel W. W. dc Lacy and Mr.: W. W.
johnson, gentlemen who have been residents
of this country for many year,, accomplished
Civil Engineers, and prominently identified
with the importan. surveys on the proposed
line OF the Northern Pacific Railroad. II
will he noticed that each yield precedence TO
the Yellowstone, Gal Latin, Jefferson and
Deer Lodge rivers route lii pre.eminen,ly
the natural and desirable route, and upon
inspection by the surveying parties, will be
10 recommended. The pass spoken Of by
MI. Johnson will obviatc the difficulties of
the range on, the line between Idaho and
Montana, while the Deer Lodge route avoids
entirely the Big Blackfoot line spoken Of by
Colonel dc Lacy, and which is declared by
old residents to be impracticsblc. We call
the attention of the Garfield Exploring
Party, now in Idaho, 10, these letters. The
route being established that far cast, their
difficulties are surmonn.ed- The tempera.
tire OF the Bitter Root Valley is the same
as at Philadelphia. The Deer Lodge Valley
is free. from heavy SHOWS, but 1s3 inches
having fallen in i during the year 1858.
while the aversgs, fall in New Englapd il 70
inches in the interior and 100 inches on the
seabosrd. The mean annual Temperature
for the year was S0t . above zero, about the
same as Chicago. with less summer heat, and
consequently less winter cold. The pass
over the range from the Deer Lodge TO the
Jefferson Valley Il scarce percepti0!s; thence
there is river valley to the mouth of the Vel
iowstone, except the exit from the 0allatin
to the Yellowstone, by one Of three practica
bic passes The advantages Of this rout<
are stated by Colonel de Lacy, and We doubt
not Il will be adopted. ...-.., ...

Gently.
A lady, about entering street car, saw, as
she supposed, her husband taking tender leave
of another woman on street corner near by.
Having heard repeated rumOrs OF his galan-
tries, she determined to settle the matter def
initely. With a rather hasty Judgment, she
rapidly regained the street, approached the
lady, who standing on the corner, was still
looking after the gentleman, who had gone
in the store.

"Oh yes, certainly. I'm in no hurry
