were pleased to meet in our Office,
Monday morning, w. J. Moir, Esq,
OF Eldora, one of the directors OF the
Reform School, who was on his way
from that institution, where he had
been with Gov. Merrill OH q tour of
inspection. He informs us that the
school is in fire condition, with all
the machinery working in splendid
order. It will be remembered that
the Reform School is located In
the north part Of Lee county, sixteen
miles south Of Mt Pleasant. There
have been twenty-six lads in all sent
to the school, four OF whom have es-
capped, leaving twenty-five now there.
The farm contains four hundred and
forty acres of choice land, and is
what was formerly known as the
White Manual Labor Institute Farm.
Is nearly all under Improvement,
contains good, substantial buildings
capable of providing for one hundted
pupils. Mr.. Moir highly comn.ends
Mr.. Joseph McCarty, Superin.e ndent
of the institute, as being humane

Two bills were introduced in Con-
gress during last session for the es-
adjustment of the postal telegraph
system, neither of which were passed.
The second bill introduced which
was read twice and referred TO the
proper committee proposes to estab-
dish Geographic communication with
every city of five thousand inhabi-
tants and upwards within three
years after the bill becomes q law
The tariff is to be one cent per word
for q distance not exceeding five
hundred miles. The smallest mes
sage to he twenty words, and all be-
low that to be paid for as twenty
words. The offices are to he located
in every city at the postoffice and al
so at the railroad Offices; the man.
ageniciit 10 bc with :!:n mail depart
mcnt of the Government. Messages
are to be prepaid with stamps, and to
be received at all the general su6.of-
stces, and are to he delivered free, the
same as letters now are, within GER.
tain limits. Messages for towns too
small to have an Office of their own,
to be promptly forwarded by mail.
BY its provisions postal money or
ders can be sent by telegraph at the
same rates az common messages.
This is the first step toward the in
auguration of a system which will
lead to great improvement in the
transmission Of messages, and, we
trust, do away eventually with tele-
graph nonopolies of this country
They are sucking the blood out of
the people at every draw with their
enormous tariffs, and the sooner the
Government takes the matter i'm hand
the better.

Michigan Central Rail-
road
Unexcciled Travelling Accommodn-
tionS,


The arrangements adopted for
through travel, which went into eff
feet the 18th ut, will meet the most
exacting requirements Of a comfort
seeking, luxury erjoying public.
The 500 Il. M. Express is made up
of entirely new and superb coaches
(of uniform build throughout which
combine In an extraordinary degree,
strength, beauty and convenience.
They are supplied with Ruttan's
Ventilator, Myers Patent Brake, and
Millcr's Platform, and have also a
new magnificent smoking-car at
tached, I'm which the pleasure of
smoking and the profit of reading
can be realized at one and the same
time. At Detroit Pullman sleeping
coach is annexed, going through to
Rochester. In original design and
harmonious perfection Of interior ar
engagements conducive to health,
comfort and luxury, this train is
truly model. No finer ever glided
over iron track to the music of swift
wheels.
The Sis p. m. train will prove es-
pecially convenient to Boston and
New England passengers, from the
fact that it connects at Albany with
new train on the Boston & Albany
road for Boston direct, and avoid also
disagreeable transfer en- route. BY
this arrangement the distance is very
much curtailed and time between
Chicago and Boston shortened to AZ
hours. The day coaches of THE train
are also of unusna.il elegance, and one
OF these magnificent Pullman Draw
ing Room Hotel Coaches is attached,
running through without change.
With a view to develop and protect
its local traffic, the management of
the Michigan Central, will also run
an Accommodation train between
Chicago and Kalamazoo, stopping ct
intermediate stations. This train
will leave Chicago at 3:55 p. M, and
arrive at Kalamazoo at $50 p. m. ;
returning, will leave Kalamazoo at
AIS a. M, and arrive in Chicago at
HOO a. IN. Passengers desiring &c
stop off at any point between Chica.
30 and Kalamazoo should take this
train. Chicago Post.

modesty, says the Independent, and
from an habitual unwillingness to
push himself forward, or to become
i'll any way, however indirectly, a
party to his own nomination, or a
solicitor for his own promotion, Mr..
Douglas, at distance Of thousand
miles west of Washington, quietly
perused the multitudinous telegraph

serted bis unwillingness to serve the
Government in any capacity; and it
was not until after Mr.. Bassett YVES
both nominated and confirmed, and

tor of the Independent a private note

The same old story. The Council
Bluffs NoapareH has the following
in relation 10 the famous White Pine
region of Nevada: 1--WE have seen
some gentleman who have just come
in from the White Pine, and they
give most deplorable account of the
situation. Probably ten thousand
men are already there, who are will
ling to work for their board, without
wages. The SHOWS have retarded
work, and the mines, though rich IN
yield, cannot be worked except with
large capital. Young men, it seems,
will never understand that there is
no roya! road to wealth, except in
the old hackneyed channels of hard
and unfashionable work, and strict
economy. The season at any rate is
not far enough advanced to strike
the most ia yorable streak" and ii
young men don't want to be strap
ped by sharpers and run the risks OF
starving to death, let them stay at
