Leaving the East and arriving at Chica-
go or Indianapolis, how shall we reach
the West? The best Line is acknowl-
edged to be the g., B. & O., joined togeth-
er with the B. & NJ Railroad by the Iron
Bridge at Burlington, and called the BUR
LINGToN ROUTE.
The main line of the Route running to
Omaha connects with the great Pacific
Roads and forms to-day the leading route
to California. The Middle Branch. enter
ing Nebraska at Plattsmouth, passes
through Lincoln, the state CAPITAL. ard
VIII tins year be finished to Fort Kearney,
forming the shortest route across the
Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the B. NJ, diverging
at Red Oak, falls into line running down
the Missouri through St. Joe to Kansas
City, and all Kansas. Passengers by this
route to Kansas, see Illinois, Southern
Iowa, and Missouri, and, by slight di-
vergence, can see Nebraska also.
Lovers of fine views should remember
the Burlington Route, for its towns '.high-
cleaning from afar"-its tree fringed
streams-its rough bluffs and quarries
Its corn oceans stretching over the prai-
RES further than eye can reach.
Land buyers will be sure to remember
it, for they have friends among the two
thousand who have already bought farms
from Geo. s. Harris, the Land Commits
sloner of the B. & NJ r. R. at Burlington,
Iowa, or among the four thousand home
steaders and pre-emptors who last year

CHINESE LADIEs.-The Chinese wo-
men are as much slaves of fashion as
Western ladies. The higher classes of
chinese ladies' are taught, like ours, to
control their voices; that it is not polite
to speak above certain Tone They also
study attitudes and effects before their
mirrors for hours at a time, just like ours,
and they bandage their feet for the same
reason that our girls cramp theirs, and
tighten their waists in order to produce
elegance and gentility of form. In fact,
small feet mean style and beauty in China,
and it would be hard to find the Ameri-
can girl who would not walkon her head
if that was necessary to "style -
among us.
Chinese ladies, of upper classes, are ex-
ceedingiy agreeable in their manners
There is only the same sense of restric-
ton that there is in the presence of Fifth
Avenue lady. They are much more DO
lite than our ladies in some respects; they
always offer you cup of tea and some
thing to eat. Anything that is pretty and
useless is encouraged for women there
just as it is with US, and precisely for the
same reason-because wealthy men will
not marry them if they have large feet
and hands, coarse compilations, and look
as If they were accustomed to labor.
There is indifference in reality between the
civilization of the West and the "bar.
barism of the East In both cases the
high-class lady prides herself upor
her helplessness, upon how little
she knows, and how little she can do
and the more helpless they are the better
men like them, in New York as we'll as

EDITORIAL CoNvENTIoN.-Owin to
sickness, the fire alarm, and various other
causes, attendance at the sem-annual Edi-
torial Convention, which was held at
Plymouth, on Friday, the 18th inst, was
not as large as usual, but the meeting to-
gether of those who did attend was really
profitable and enjoyable. The resident
editors of Plymouth-John s. Bender
and John Millikan, of the REPUBLICAN,
and Platt Mcdonald and E. d. Vanvalk-
inberg of the Democrat-had made all re-
cessary arrangements to entertain, in the
most agreeable manner, all the members
of the Association, and we regret that there
were not more present to partake of the
bounteous hospitality of these gentlemen
and their excellent wives, and others of
the good people of that palce. We were
guest of Mr. Bender and his kind lady,
and were perfectly happy wilhelm their
care at their comfortable home.
But the most magnificent and enjoyable
portion of our stay in Plymouth, was the
grand banquet given to the members of
the Convention, by Mr.. and Mrs. Milli-
kan, at their palatial residence, which We
could hardly believe belonged to an edi-
tor. The entertainment and repast fur
nished on this occasion were of such a
nature as to indelibly impress upon the
memory of all who enjoyed them. the
most profound gratitude to Mr. and Mrs
Millikan, and their interesting daughters
Mr. Millikan is veteran publisher, who
must have been successful in his business
as he now finds himself in possession of
as good home as any one need want,
and surrounded by an intelligent, modest
and interesting family. Long will we re-
member Mr.. and Mrs. Millikan.-Goshea,

Dispatches were received in LAFAYETTE.
Thursday, announcing the death OF Cap
tain Chris. Miller, for several years past a
merchant of Chicago, but formerly prom
inent citizen of the former city At one
time he held the office of Mayor of the
city. He served with distinction in the
army during the late war, and was after
wards elected Auditor of Tippecanoe
county. He lost all his property by the
late fire in Chicago, and it is supposed
that the excitement of the past few weeks
aggravated an old wound received during
his army life, and from which he had suf-
fered great deal of late, and caused his
death.

A Question of Honesty.

The Republican party is surely strong
enough to assert its independence of such
persons as Tom Murphy, the Collector of
Customs in New York. The charges
made against him are of the most damag-
ing character, 1t is asserted, with bold
ness, that he swindled the Government
out of large sums by furnishing worthless
hats during the war. To this charge. re-
peatedly urged, and supported by the au-
thority of leading Republican papers, he
makes precisely the same defense as that
made by Hall, when the New York Times
opened its budget of Tammany stealings
that is, just no defense at all. Under
such circumstances no man can afford to
fall back on his dignity. That might
answer very we'll for a private gentleman,
who was in no way bound to expose his
private transactions to the public eve.
But here we have public transaction,
and more than that, the party accused now
holds public office which enables HIM to
WELD vast authority, and to make, wheth-
er honestly or dishonesty, very great
emoluments. The business is public bust
ness, and the man charged with crime is
public officer. 1t is impossible that eth
er he or his superiors can dispose of such
charges by covering them with the wet
blanket of official dignity.
Nor is this the only charge. The re-
cent publications show large real estate
transactions between Murphy and the
gang of brigands who have held New
York by the throat while they riied its
pockets. Modern times have exhibited
no such robberies as these. The Roman
pro-Consuls may have extorted equal
sums from the provinces they ruled; but
in modern days Tweed, Connolly, Swee-
ney and Hall are raised aloft above all
other crimin als by the boldness of their
conduct and the amount of their booty.
They are the enemies of the human race,
and once exposed it is in the power of no
party to protect them from the ruin they
deserve. Of the relations between these
AiiSu etiAh lAIC 1sClJuUllCdu SOlleCGOT OF New
York we have no explanation. Is the
Republican party content to be left in SO
questionable an attitude? Of the per-
sonal integrity of Gen. Grant we presume
no man has the slightest doubt; but to
real friends it is an occasion of grief and
shame that he should permit the custom
house of New York to remain moment
under the control of man like this. They
have no answer to make to the taunts of
their enemies. The crime of Tammany.
vast as its proportions are, ceases to be a
reproach when men can give sting to the
tn qnoque argument by pointing to Tom
Murphy. We are a good deal in the
habit OF talking about our honesty, but if
we expect the people to believe us we
must keep company with honest men.
So long as we associate with the rest of
mankind for the sole purpose of toiling to
enrich them, we should expect our repu-
tation for honesty to be at discount, and
should have the modesty to quit Dragging
of lind. Jour.

ROAST PIG SEVENTEEN HrNDPEn
EARS AGo.-One house in Pompeii had
evidently been in a state of repair when
the volcano buried it. Painters and dec
orators and cleaners were masters of the
situation. The household gods were all
in disorder, and the family, if not out of
town, must have been undergoing that
condition of misery which spring clean
ings and other like infections inevitably
entail. Paint pots and brushes, and work
mems tools were scattered about. Tell
tale spots of whitewash were on wall and
floor. Such domestic implements as pots
and kettles had been bundled up in a cor
ner, and the cook was nowhere. Dinner,
however, had not been forgotten. A soli-
tary pot stood simmering Gf it ever did
slnmer) on the stove; and-start not, for
1t is true-there was bronze dish in wait
ing before the oven, and on the dish suck
ling pig all ready to be baked. But the
oven was already engaged with its full
completion of bread. So the sucking pig
had to wait. And it never entered the
oven, and the loaves were never taken out
till after sojourn of LOO years! They
had been cooking ever since November
%, a. D., 79. NJ Friorelli has them now
in his museum at Pompeii, twenty-one of
them, rather hard, of coarse, and black.
but perfectly preserved.-Leisure Hours
