Department declined promotion to a third class
elerkship on Saturday last, giving as reasons for
has no intention of getting married, and his
present salary is more than sufficient for his
support; that, as his father is employed in the
department, his own promotion might give rise
TO unpleasant gossip and the charge OF favoritsm:
and that, rs q fellow clerk I'm his division contem-
plates marriage and has long hoped for promo

reasons he respectfully, but firmly, declines
promotion ut present, saying that the time NAV

he Is regarded as one of the most reliable and

solely on the ground of merit. This is probably
the only similar case on record. ee :

BURLINGTON.

Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago
Indianapolis, how shall we reach the West
The best line is acknowledged to be the c., B.
& O., Joined together with the B. q NJ. Rail-
road by the Iron bridge at Burlington, and
called the BURLINGTON ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to Oma-
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads,
and forms to- day the leading route to Cali
fornia. The middle Branch, entering Nebras-'
ka at Portsmouth, passes through Lincoln,
the State Capital, and will this year be finish"
ed to Fort Kearney, forming the shortest
route across the Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. M. diverging at
Red Oak, falls into a line running down the
Missouri through St. Joe to Kansas City and
all Kansas Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Missouri,
and, by a slight divergence, can see Nebras-
ka also. - .a. - .n.,-
Lovers Of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for It's towns thigh gleam-

working several years at it his mental and
physical powers both collapsed and he died

land is content to let it remain as nature
made it, and we think that the Job will never
be commenced again unless railroad should
happen to stray up that way.
We shall remain in this section of Uncle
Sans domain about three weeks longer, and
then D"7ce Dona"na. In the meantime, as we
have considerable business to transact in
Montreal on our return trip, we shall devote
all our leisure time to the study of French.

A joke on railroad man is always In
order. The Dubuque Times tells one
ut is the custom on the Iowa section of
the Illinois Central railroad for the bag
gageman to search passenger coaches in
pursuit of unlawful baggage-or rather
for more than the law allows. On Fri
day last an old lady, who is unfortunate
enough to have one of her limbs used for
locomotion made of wood, got on the
train at Cedar Rapids, and sitting on
front seat, disengaged the artificial limb,
and set it up in the corner OF the car.
The baggage-smasher in his rounds soon
espied it, and inquiring of the lady if it
was her property, was answered in the af-
firmative. He demanded the usual twen-
ty-five cents, remarking, "We cannot af-
ford to carry old boot and shoe signs for
nothing" When the situation was ex-
planned, he shot out of the car on dou-
equick, amidst the widest mirth of
the passengers, and was not again visible
until the train reached Ackley.
1t is estimated that about 5000 ship.
wrecks occurred last year, and about o.
900 oe them on the coast of England.

PATENT KETTLE AND STEAM ER.-Messrs.
Boesen & Bedessem, proprietors of the Young
America furniture store, have invented and
patented combined kettle and steamer for
cooking purposes that is destined to work a
change in our kitchens in short order. The
contriyance is so arranged that the vegetables
or meats can be boiled or steamed, either to-
gether or separately, at one and the same
time ; the water can be poured off without
burning the hands by steam or hot water, and
it answers the same purpose as several dis
tinct kettles and q steamer. The firm are
having some made, which will be soon.on ex-
hibition and for sale at their establishment.
We.predict rapid sale for the article as soon
as our housewives have had chance to give
it trial.

VAN AMBCRGH's MENAGERIB.--It is seldom
that canvas exhibition has entered our city
with as large a number of people as the Van
Amburgh party and conducted themselves
with such uniform good behavior as did the
menagerie company last Tuesday. Generally
q show of that sort is accompanied with an
assortment of roughs of the lowest type who
would not hesitate moment to disturb the
peace or pockets of our citizens, but in this
case the men throughout showed themselves
gentlemen in every sense-whsther in the
stables as teamsters or in the ticket Office at
tending to the financial part Of the days
business. Mr.. John Lyke, the Treasurer and
part owner. is a gentleman who abhors the
slang terms usually so frequently heard with
exhibitions of this kind ,and has issued orders
to the effect that the first man he hears using
profane or indecent language can be excused
from any further duties with the company,
and the result is good behavior from all. An
exhibition run on such principles will always
be successful. We commend them to our
friends in the north and west.

One of Kenosha's "roughs' who ought to
be serving the state in the stone business,
pitched into an unoffending Racine citizen
who happened to be visiting here last Tues
day, and ''wanted to lick him just to keep
his hands in.' Such men are not necessary
to the prosperity of our city, and when our
courts happen to have word in the matter
they would be doing the city service by
sending them to Waupun.

BENEFIT CoNCERT.-Let our citizens exert
themselves to the end that the concert to-
morrow evening for the benefit of Ellington
Pierce shall be well patronized. The vocal
and instrumental pieces are from the best
selections and cannot fail to please all who
attend, and even the object of the concert
alone should be sufficient to fill the hall to
oyerfowing. Mr.. Pierce and his family need
help, and Kenosha citizens are not the ones
to turn the ''cold shoulder in such cases Of
extreme necessity.

that inasmuch as there are several of the
