Western Division p. & O. Railroad.

hONllN0DoN, L. w., MAY 20, Iotz.
To the Editor Of the Press:
The problem before our railroad party yes
terday morning, on starting from Hemming
ford, was, what route to take. Should we 60
west by the ''north route" or by the ''south
route"' Into the discussion of this question
the various delegations from along the respect
I've routes entered with great spirit The one
line was the shorter; the other was by a bet
ter country, so it was alleged Finally we
agreed to divide forces, and inspect both
Both parties started together, however. and
travelled the same road for several miles, a
cavalcade of dozen carriages or so. Your
correspondent went by the southern route.
This runs due west, about six miles north of
the boundary line, and from eight to sixteen
miles north of the "Old Ogdensburg'' rail-
road, the distance between the two roads
widening as we move west, at least as far
west as this place. The northern route, Of
which L will speak further on, comes to
focus with the southern here, this being an
important centre, the shire town of Hunt
ingdon county.
Our route carried us through the townships
of Havelock, Franklin, Hinchinbrooke, into
Godmanchester, within the territorial limits
OF which last two, Huntingdon, village
corporation is located. For the entire dis
lance the physical difficulties in the way of
constructing railroad are nothing. The
southern parts of Havelock and Franklin are
somewhat rocky, the extreme outlying es-
carps of the Adirondack mountains reaching
into the towns, as low, fat extended ter,
race. For the rest there is the same vast
reach of level prairie-like country before
noted, stretching east and west indefinitely,
and to the st. Lawrence ON the north. If

In the course of his remarks at a recent meet

Industrial Institute in Boston, Wendell Phil
lips said:
81 don't believe the State will ever do its duty
until it fits the man to get his bread. / think
the State is bound to give to the child of every
man in the community, poor and rich, the OBJ
portunity of book education and to learn a
trade. and in the last years of his apprentice
ship he should get his living out Of it. We
have hitherto elevated the brain until we starv-
ed the very feet. The school system of to-day
doesn't contemplate the fact of a mans having
a stomach and needed to be able to get some
thing to put into it. The education of to-day is
a monster. 1t is most as bad as that of the
lower classes in England, who know only how
to use spade or watch a spindle"

ANNIE LOUISE CARY.-We print on the
first page an extract from an article in the
New York Mail concerning Miss Cary. This
is specimen of the very fattering notices
which constantly appear in the journals of
the country, showing an appreciation of this
accomplished artist, of whose professional
and personal charms Maine is SO proud. She
is growing rapidly in public esteem and favor

brilliant laurels acquired both abroad and in
America

lNlieu of other matters possibly at the sug-
gestion of the proprietor of the Sunday Star,
an employee of the associated press in this
city, saw fit to send dispatch to the press of the
country, that the Star was praising Mr.. Gree
ley; and the writer being in the Argus office,
suddenly turns prophet, and predicts that
this event is destined to make some political
STIR" As an advertising dodge it is clever;
as sample of Democratic thunder it is bare
ly passible; but as matter of newsit is stale
since the Star in its humorously, lofty, indie
pendent way, has praised Mr.. Greeley the
past three weeks. As to the ''stir," the fable
of the fly on the coach wheel, saying: "what
a dust | raise" is applicable in this case.

POLITICAL RUMORs.

POLiTlCAL RUMOHS.
Hon, Horation Seymour and Francis Ker-
nan, the most prominent and powerful repre-
sentatves of the New York Democracy, are re-
ported to have declared against Greeley, and j.
L. Spriggs who is delegate from Utica to the
Baltimore Convention, said that he joins hands
with them in their purpose to defeat him. e.
Carl Schurz has solved the riddle of what he
! intends to do in the approaching campaign.
Astonished and thunderstruck at his apparent
detection at the result of the Cincinnati Con-
vention, number of Greeley men held con-
ference with him ON Saturday night, and after
portraying the effects of continued silence on
his part, induced him to make promise to
come out squarely for Mr. Greeley He will,
therefore, make a campaign speech in favor of
Greeley sometime during the present week,
either at Philadelphia, it is supposed, or in
Washington. .-r.lr 4
THE INDIAN VISITORS.
Red Cloud and his warriors, dressed in cos
tune OF the war path, are having hearing be-
fore the Commissioner on Indian Affairs, on
that little indiscretion out West, for which the
big chief and others are sorry. They were
taken from their hotels in stages, the souaws
being obliged to walk.
A PrrTsBURG father is greatly exercised about
his daughters. One of them took a buggy ride
with a sutton whom he did not favor, the other
night, and on the return of the pair the agitat-
ed man blazed away at them with a revolver.
The young lady had just descended from the
buggy, and, although she was not hit, she faint
ed away and was carried into drug store. The
young man was harmed as little, but his horse
took fright at the report and went away with
him, and was still going at last accounts. Then
the old gentleman, feeling that he had done his
duty, became intoxicated and staggered home
to find that his other daughter was entertain
ing another youth whom he did not like. Most
men would have been discouraged at this alarm
ing state of things; but this fine old Pittsburg
father Immediately kicked up another row, with
results as little serious those of the first one
Probably, by this time, he has learned that he
has his hands full; and the next news from
Pittsburg will relate to two interesting and JUS

REAL ESTATE IN BosToN-The real estate
speculation in Boston, which has been at fever
heat for the past year, appears to have sudden
ly collapsed, and holders of property who
bought and held in the expectation of magnif-
cent profits are pushing lots into the market
at fearful rate. From seven to eight columns
of real estate auction sales in the daily papers
is no unusual sight nowadays. We under
stand from parties who have been prospecting
in Boston lately that real estate property has
fallen twenty-five per cent. within ninety days.
and there is great anxiety to unload as quickly
as possible. EN-
