NEW YORK, July, ls71.-Conipetition for the
carrying of passengers between the East and the
West has become so strong, that the different rail-
way companies spare no pains or expense TO make
the transit comfortable and agreeable posi-
bic. Without disparaging any other route, may
say have found the route over the Michigan Gem
trail and the Great Western, for speed safety
prompt connections, perfection OF road-bed and
equipments cars, passenger and eating houses, at
tentive conductors and gentlemenly officers, the
most pleasant and desirable one 1t is the only
route from the West connecting directly with Mag
ara Falls, which can be reached from Chicago in
nineteen hours. From that point there are now two
through routes to New Pork, the New York and
Erie Railroad Company having extended their track
from Buffalo, via Niagara Falls, to Suspension
Bridge. This is great public convenience, as they
run many trains day between Buffalo and Suspen-
sion Bridge, and passengers not now obliged to
lie over, or miss connections, either at the Falls,
Suspension Bridge Buffalo, formerly. Pas
sengers are now tsken the fast train from Sus-
pension Bridge or Buffalo IN thirteen and half
hours, making the running time between Chicago
and New York. over the Michigan Central, Great
Western and New York and Erie roads, but thirty
two and half hours. This new connection is nll-
tually beneficial to the public and the New York and
Erie Railroad Company, large portion of
Western people prefer that route for the comfort
of its broad gauge cars and the unrivaled beauty
of its scenery.
NEW YORK
is the Babel ever, teemng with life, whose
pulses reach all extremities of the Union. was

of all parties against the pusillanmty OF the city

THE NEW COURT HOUSE,
which has already cost ten millions Of dollars, and
which will absorb five or six millions more before
its completion, is progressing slowly, and viii be as
long in building as Solomons temple, while two
thirds of the amount appropriated for it is stolen by
thievish officials and contractors.
NEW HAVEN, CONN.,,

women. attended commencement exercises here,

THE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
were not marked by any peculiar originality bril-
hancy few pieces were of superior merit aud
well spoken; most of them commonplace
enough, and several were quite ante-deluyian.
The Alumni meeting was badly managed, and
most of the speeches dreary enough The chief
points of interest the retirment speech Of Pres
ident Woolsey, after presiding over Yale College
twenty-five years, and the speech of the new Presi-
dent Noah Porter indicating the future policy OF
Yale. There is a strife between Old Yale and Young
Yale, and the Alumni meeting showed that at pres
ent the old fogies have it.
HARTFORD, CONN,
the wealthiest city, of its size in the Union except
Providence, was clothed in the livlest green, the
houses in streets being shaded as to darken
them. The women--many of them--look as If
brought up without sunshine, and have a pale and
sickly appearance.

to spend long time time in and yet some people,
whose chief occupation is to kill time do contrive
to pass three four months of the year here.
week here would be penance for me. But those
who live simply to dress and show themselves,
count this Paradise. b.
