Evansville, Henderson and Nash
Vile KaflrOad-MaxyveI HOuse,

VILE RaflrOad-maxweIl House.
We take the following from the Vim
cennes, Indianapolis correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times and Chronicle of the 17th
inst The writer, it will be seen, has a
full appreciation of the Nashville, Evans
vile and Henderson Railroad, and our ele-
CANT Maxwell House: Through the court
esy of Thos. C. Smith, agent of the Evans
vile, Henderson and Nashville Railroad,
your correspondent has Just enjoyed very
pleasant trip over this new road, which is
soon destined to be the great Southern
route from Nashville to Chicago, via Terre
Haute, Ind, and Danville, Ill. At the
present time passengers can leave TerTe
Haute at G A. NJ. and arrive in Nashville at
6P. II As the road is az yet completed
only to Henderson, it is necessary for
passengers to take the magnificent trans
fer packet Fsyette at Evansville for the
former place, the run of twelve miles
being made in just fifty minutes. After
a ride of 100 miles in the dust from
Terre Haute at this season, such a change
is g great relief, as il enables the traveller
TO perform to his satisfaction in the ablu-
tion department, and sfGerward find ready
dinner sach as fitst-class stewards on
steamers know how 70 prepare. Captain
Perkins commands the Fay cite, and Is one
who evidently understands his business,
by trying to make all feel perfectly at
home. The clerk of the steamer, G.. Z.
Durlin, is just as obligipg as the Captain,
and we are satisfied that Pa sengers in
general would wish for transfer steamer
on every long line of railroad, could they
fare as well as the passengers on this
route. At Henderson we found waiting
new and splendid passenger coaches, and
were soon running at a speed of thirty
miles an hour, until landed at that palace
hotel, the Maxwell House, CT Nashville.
By the middle of September The whole
route will be finished to Chicago, and by
reference to the map it will be seen to
form complete air lice from one city to
the other. --r . ...-- r
Il is very evident that the best of feeling
does not exist between the cities Of Nash-
vile and Louisville, as the latter city
seems in business point of view, to ig-
more the former.
THE MAXWELL HoUsE.
This magnificent hotel las been COM
pleted since the war, although commenced
ri1r to that time, and Was used by the
Fcderals as barracks and prison. The
soldier who found lodging and supplies
here during the war will find Rccommods-
tons much better now than then IN this
building. II has 24O rooms for guests. and
is bailt with all tbs improvements of the
day. We know of no hotel East or West
that is managed more to the satisfaction
of guests than this one. The Office and
reception room is abodt forty feet square,
having fountain playing in the centre,
which has tendency to cau.e one to feel
clol in this warm climate. On the second
floor balcony extends around the whole
space occupied as the Office, and in the
evening it is crowded with ladies and gen
tlemen locking down upon the animated
scene below. The furniture is of the best
style throughout.

him square in the face, but he was so
busy with his mutterings that he did not
notice me. i logged against him, but he
only pulled his hat lower over his eyes
and clenched his teeth more securely upon
his stump of cigar. Not knowing but
what his seeming remorse of conscience
was about TO betray him into a
confession of some terrible crime, l lis
tened to bis mutterings. This is just
what he said: "James, you are a fool.

again. ''James, you are a id fool /!

RAILWAY EATING,

On the Scotch and Irish express trains
only fifteen minutes are allowed for re-
freshments-thst is, for what at home
would have been meal, and if there
have been delays even these fifteen mir
utes are encroached upon. The French
system is different and better. Some
time during the j urney an agent gees
through the cars, takes your orders, tele-
graphs them ahead, ard, on reaching the
station, what you have asked for is hand
ed in, to be consumed at your leisure on
the journey. Or, descending into the re-
fresnment rooms, you find small baskets
upon the ''blffet, containing, with such
refreshments as are most called for,
knife and fork, napkin, plate and glass.
On each basket is label stating the Jn-
tents end price. The passenger buys the
basket, takes it into his carriage, dimes or
lunches at his leisure, and at the next
station at which the train stops hands
back the basket, etc to waiter, and re-
ceiyes for it fixed price, which is also
set down on the label. This system has
just been begun in England.

At Rough Rock yesterday evening was a
strong argument far our Public School
system and for education. The citizens of
the 7th District who turned ont to hear,
were amply repaid and cannot fail to
profit by what they heard. The Doctor
referred to the difficulties surrounding our
schools, urged the people to arouse and
put schools into successful operation In
every district, ard to see that the Commits
sioners and al work together. He showed
clearly how every citizen is interested In,
and benefited by good schools. such
speeches, if made in every district, are
bound to effect good results. Some le-
nasrks were made by others, and the meet
ing proved to be an interesting occasion.

THE TEACHERS OF THE AGE.


the London correspondent of the
Chicago Journal writes TO this effect:
"Carlyle makes nc secret of his religious
skepiicism. Frouds, the ablest historian
and boldest thinker of modern tlmes,
although clergyman of the Established
Church, is known to be what We should
call in America an uncOmpromising in
fidel. The late Professor Grote, whose
scholastic attainments were almost IN
psraleled, and whose personal character
was III every respect sublime, steadfastly
repudisted all those articles of religious
belief which orthodox people deem es
sential to personal salvation. Sir John
Bowring, whose reputation is world wide,
does the same. In short, wherever we
find a mau who has advanced beyond his
fellows 10 moral and physical science,
we are almost sure to find him repudiatiug
the doctrines that have hitherto been
deemed essential TO our well being in this
life and that beyond the grave. What
does this mean :"
MARSHAL MCMAHON, having received
ten thousand dollars from the ladies of
PhiladelpEil for the French Relief Fund,
