DEAR SIR; Your note inviting me
to attend the ceremony OF decorating,
at Magnolia Cemetery, the graves OF
the brave men who fell in defense OF
the Union during the recent civil war,
only reached ma this morning. 1 am
very sorry that I cannot be with you
| on this most Interesting occasion; but
| it is now 90 late 100 make the necessary
Arrangements
The nation cannot too tenderly cher
ish the memory Of her dead heroes, or
too watchfully guard the well being
! of those who SURVIVE And may we
not indulge the hope that ere long, we
| who adhered T. the national cause,
| will be prompt also to join in COM
memorating the heroism of our coun,
trymen who fell on theother side, and
that those who now specially mourn
their loss, conscnting to the arbitra'
ment &c arms aud resuming all then
old love for their country and oul
country, one and iniivisible, will joir
with us in comnemoration OF the fal
len brave Of tho army Of the Union
The dead are not dead. They have
only gone before, and now see eye to
eve. Why may not we all borrow
from their sacred graves oblivion o
past differences, and henceforth unite
in noble and generous endeavor TO as
sure the honor and welfare of oul
whole country, Of all her States, AnC
of all her citizens?
Very respectfully, yours,
=. 2. CHASE

The great Pacific Railroad is done.
The last rail is laid-the connecting
link between the two oceans. This
completion is destined to direct the
Orient across what has been known
as the great Occldent, and the thou
saaj travellers who traverse our
country will leave with US in eXpen-
ses some compensating advantage
for the past sums now consumed
abroad by American absenteeS. Our
British neighbors are much excited
over this great enterprise, which, llk e
our efforts to put down the rebellion,
they thought could not possibly sue
ceed, Like that however, it is an
accomplished lact, now staring them
IN the face. We have tapped the
main artery of trade and travel with
the great East, by way they can
not go, and in a gorgeous prize
awaits American enterprise, now
rapidly developing upon the Pa
cific as well as on the Atlantic sea-
board.
From New York to San Francisco,
the distance Is three Thousand, three
hundred and fifty-thIee miles ;
! which will be accomplished in six
| days and fourteen hours. At SanFran
cisco, the mails will connect with
| the various steamship lines running
on the Pacific, and may be landed at
| Honolulu in fifteen and one-halI
days from New York. They can
reach Japan in twenty-five and one
/ haif days from New York, or thirty.
three to thirty four days from Great
Britain, thus beating the British
mails sent via Suez by the Peninsu.
la and Oriental steamers by from
three to four weeks. The trip be-
| tween Yokohama, japan, and either
Hongkong or Shanghai, is readily
accomplished by the Pacific mail
steamship in from five to six days,
which, added tn the time in reach
ing Japan. will give the through
| time necessary to reach either of the
above named ports of China. The
mails for Australia, it is thought
will hereafter go via San Francisco,
as the Australian and New Zealand
Steamship Company intend trans
ferring the terminus of their line,
which has been running from sgd
ney to Panama, so as hereafter tC
run from Australia to Taluti, thence
to Honolulu, and thence to San
francisco, making about twety-eigh
days schedule time, which will gave
US monthly mail to Australia ir
thirty-four to thirty-five day.

ImpOrtnn1ItO Wool Growers

B. B. Browning, Esqr., an expe-
rIenced breeder Of long wool sheep,
says:
AS a sheep raiser have had some
% years experience, and in the old
country WAS a butcher 20 years, and
was in the habit of killing Leicester
sheep; and knowing the quality of
the mutton, still feel an attach
ment for them and as there were
but few when / came to the country
to stock my farm, had to get such
as thought would pay the best. 1
therefore bought eleven out of three
hundred of the best flock of Meri-
noes i could find. l bred them to
Leicester bucks l had imported,
which were large, but found no more
difficulty to the small ewes than TO
the Leicester ewes I had imported.
1 bred along till had as pure look
ing Leicesters as those I Imported.
This was my experience, which /
know differs from some writers; but
some write on subjects they do not
understand. Tie Leicester sheep
should only be bred by good farmers
those that keep their farms free
from burrs and other weeds that ara
Injurious to combing wool. AS q
commencer 1 would select for breed
ing to a Leicester buck, large fine
wOoled sheep-such a grade of wool
as our most popular growers are now
producing-as then I should produce
from six to eight pounds OF wool,
and should have a sheep to sell to
the butchers, that would gross at
two years after snearing 40 to
140 lbs.
have not kept them myself for
many years to shear, but have sold
them in March before they were two
years old. Several years ago I sold
them to neighbor and he sheared
them all-ewes and wethers-aud
after shearing they averaged 149 lbs.
If people Will lay aside prejudice,
and follow the plan 1 have stated,
they will find them a profitable sheep
and the animal that will pay the
best Is the one to keep Wool GrOlc-
ers Adrocdte.
