indianapolis, how shall we reach the West
The best line is acknowledged to be the c., B.

road by the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
cal ed 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 Eebras
ka at Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln,
tue 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. NJ. dverging al
Red Oak, tails into line running down the
Missouri through ST. Joe to Kansas City and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route to Kan

and, by a slight divergence, can see Nebras
ka also.

Burlington Route, for It's towns high CLEAN,

rough bluffs and quarries-its corn oceans
stretching over the prairies further than the
eye can reach.

The Italian journals publish letter from
DR.. Giovanni Cailigari, Describing the re-
maikable success which has attended his
treatment OF diphtheria with picnic acid,
He relates the losses he formerly experipncec
among his patients when treating them with
emollients. solvents and cauterization with
hydrochlaric acid, and observes that tLis ca a
ferlzation can no more eradicate the morbid
principal than tearing tho leaves off a nlanf
will destroy the root. He now simply uses d
garglc of picnic acid and distilled water.
with external applications of new flannel :
the food and drink to be taken cold After
the adoption Of this treatment DR. Calligari
requested the Italian journals to pnhlish this
discovery. Picnic acid, the agent which ia
now being used in this country. is a rrmed '
for cancer. and seems likely to effect an inn
mense saving OF lives formerly hopelessly
sacrificed to that disease.

Florence, the com medan, tells story OF a
waiter 81 one OF the London taverns who was
sadly given to drink. A party of young men
determined to reform him, and one day read
an imaginary paragraph from I hs paper reIa
ting terrible accident, in which an 'nsbrlate,
IN blowing out candle, was killed by the
flames igniting with the fumes of his breath
Jerry pricked up his ears at this. and re
quested that the paragraph might be read to
him again, which was done, to the evident
horror OF the poor man, who Immediately
went in search of the cook to borrow q
prayer book. Returning with this, he ex.
pressed desire to take solemn oath upon
it. bemoAned the fact that he had been u
sorry tipper, and was bringing himself to
ruin, and then swore that never again, SO
long as he lived, would he-attempt to blow
out candle

SENATOR HOWE FOR VICE PREsIDEET.-A
correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel
mentions the name of T. o. Howe in connec.
ton with the Vice Presidency IN case Colfax

There are few men in the country better fitted
for the position than Senator Howe he has
been before the people long enough to acquire
a national reputation for honor, truth and
integrity, and halls from State that has no
small claims on the public. We should like
to see the name of Wisconsin's tried and
