MODERN RAILROAD TRAVEL,

There are few railroad enterprises In the
United States which have been more thor
oughly organized, better equipped and
more successful in operation than the
Michigan Central road. It has always
held deservedly high position among
the travelling public and its reputation
for comfort, speed and safety cannot be
excelled. The management Of this favor
tie line speaks for itself and under the
experimenting care OF Mr.. II. E. Sargent,
has established position which is univer
sally acknowledged among { be travelling
public. Nothing is left undone promote
the welfare and convenience Of its numer-
Gus patrons, while e0erythng Is done 10
ensure pleasure and ada to the luxuries OF
modern travel. Connecting at Detroic
with the Great Western of Canada, it is
linked with an enterprise worthy OF itself;
the two forming by far the best means OF
communication between Chicago and the
East. The scenery cannot be equalled
nor the accommodations excelled. L. Is
not often that we call attention 10 the |
merits Of any pal tcular road, but the fol-
lowing graphic description taken from u
late Chicago paper may prove interesting,
and show the perfection arrived at IN these
modern days of travel:
Yesterday morning al 8 O'clock the
Day Express an the MtcnIgln Cent? III
Railroad, left Chicago with some Of the
finest coaches ever seen IN America. The
baggage car is o new one, made expressly
for this tram and the through business
between Chicago and Niagara Falls. I
high, well lighted, ana provided with
the stand rd tweive-V heel trucks invent
ed by Sutherland, their Car builder. The
smoking CAR is one Of the regular Michi-
gan Central twelVe-Whee! coaches, fitted
Gp elegantly with all the comforts and
which delight the lovers 1T {
the weed" Then come two magnificent
coaches of the Central build, that surpass {
and which c4nnot he excelled On this con- !
tinent. Fhey differ from the cars hereto
fore built in having the panels run up
and down the body of the car instead OF
Iengthwise, and in having large windows
Of single light Of plated glass each
Following these, is a through or ladies'
car, which is one of the finest coaches of {
The patterns previously used, and is elC- /
gantly and tastefuly furnished through a
>ut-yevet carpets, plate glass windows,
etc The train had also attached an Gle +
CANT Pullman drawing room sleeping car,
vhich goes through to Rochester withou
change. This tram is fully equipped with !,
he Westinghouse air brake, the Miller
platform and buff rs and is thoroughly d
ventilated with the Ruttan system # n
ventilation. One Of these trains will leave a
Chicago and Detroit every morning, and {
hose who have to travel have here every 9
hing that will make them comfortable, !,

WE propose to inaugurate series of
sketches under the simple caption of
SUNDAY" to be published regularly in
the columns of the TELEGRPH. These
sketches will consist of synopsis of the
sermons delivered in the various churches
of Kenosha, one or two being visited each
Sunday in turn, an enterprise which it is
believed will meet with public approba-
tion. The idea is by no means new one,
On the contrary it has been our design for
some weeks past, TO introduce this feature
into the TELEGBAPH,an thus afford all
the periodical information we can In ref
erence to our Churches and Sabbath
Schools and the cause of Religion gener-
ally in our midst. The first abstract ap-
pears in our issue Of this week and con-
tains an outline Of Rev. E. A. Bradiey's
sermon, preached in st. Matthew's Epis =
copal Church, on Sunday morning, April
14th. We may add that this sketch would
have appeared In the TELEGRAPH of last
week, but previous promise to Rev. Mr..
Hitchcock precluded its publication.

E. L. RICHMOND, Local Editor of the
TELEGRAPH and Foreman Of the TELE-
GRAPH Printing Office has changed his
business from writing and printing for
the TELEGRAPH to employment for the
United States Post Office Department in
conveying the mails between Chicago and
Milw aukee on the Milwaukee Division of
the Chicago and Northwestern Railway
He either likes the latter employment
better than the former, or is paid better
for it, or perhaps both. He occupies the
position of Route Agent. He was engaged
in the same business some time before his
connection with the TELEGRAPH and has
resumed his former occupation. We hope
the change will prove advantageous to
him and the Post Office Department, and
not detrimental to u.s. We shall miss him,
but shall | aim TO supply the places which
he has occupied and to improve the TEL
EGRAPH and the business of the office to
the satisfaction of our readers and patrons

aims. And we shall expect to hear occa-
siopally from Mr.. Richmond as CORES

We deeply regret to learn through the
Milwaukee papers of the lamented de-
cease of Dr.. George w Perrine,one of the
most eminent and popular physicians of
that city, which occurred on Saturday
evening last resuI ting from an attack of
Brights disease. DR. Perrine was born
in New York State in 1916, received his
medical education at Hobart College. &C.
neva, in the same State and came to Mil
Waukee, where he has been located sew
enteen years. During that time he has
devoted his best energies to the SER
vice of his profession ever foremost to
relieve the wants of the distressed, admin
lister to the necessities of his fellow crea-
lures and afford consolation to the afflicted
his loss Will be keenly appreciated. His
husbandly affection and father!y care
leave an untitled gap in sorrowlng
household while his friendly advice and
genuine counsel will be missed by all who
knew him. Esteemed in life he is respect
ed in death and his remains on yesterday
afternoon were followed to their last rest
ing place,by large delegations Of his med
ical brethren and the various societies of
which he was an honored member. We
heartily sympathize with his bereaved
family in the irreparable void sustained
by his removal from their midst. Dr.
Perrine was Sc years of age when he was
called away, and has left several valuable
contributions to the cause of medical lit
erature.

MORMON TEST CASE. JUSTiC e
McKEAN's DEC SION RE
VERSED.

THE following was written for the
TELEGRAPH last week but was left out
Tor want of room.
According to telegraph report the Su-
preme Court of the United States has
unanimously reversed the judgement of
the Supreme Court Of Utah in the Nor.
mon test case, Englebrecht vs. Clinton.
lit held that the jury was nnlawfully
drawn, the summons invalid, the indict-
ments violations of the law, ana that all
proceedings must be dismissed. This
decision quashes all the criminal bust
ness in the Utah courts last year, and rem
ders civil judgments invalid where con-
tested. It is decided that the Marshal of
the United States in the Territory has
only the same authority as in the State,
consequently the Aormon.murder in
dictments are personal trespasses Grim
inal proceedings can only be commenced
de noUo under the United States law. The
entire judicial decision of Judge Mexican
is overthroWn."
This unanimous and righteous decision
of the Supreme Court Of the United
States will probably be the means of
bringing Judge McKean's Ubiquitous
reign in mockery Of justice to a close.
Mexican was a United States Judge,
holding Territorial Court under Ter
ritorial law with u U. S. jury, thus seek
ing to subdue Mormonism. And after
the expenditure of $4,000 to accomplish
his purpose, the United States Supreme
Court decides all of his proceedings to
be unlawful. When Judge Mexican un
dertook to convict the Mormons who
practice polygamy of adultery under a
law passed by themselves against adul.
terry, it was evident to all who did not
willingly shut their eyes that he was
perverting the law in confoundipg adul-
terry and polygamy. And it was evident
to any one who had any knowledge of
law and appreciation ofjustice that all
his proceedings were illegal and unjust.
Ifthe statement which we have seen is
true, and we believe it to be, that Judge
Mexican is the son and brother Of a
preacher, it may not be difficult to infer
under what and whose influence he re-
ceived his appointment. And there may
perhaps be as little difficulty in inferring
that the sooner President Grant energies
entirely from under the influence of Rev.
DR.. Newman IN appointing Judicial Of
fcers for Utah the better it will be for
himself, for the public, and for the adj
of justice.

THE GRANT MEETING.


Cooper Institute, New York, was filled
by a vast asselp blage on Wednesday even
who were ANXIOUS to espouse the cause #
true Republicanism and in favor of III
denomination Of General Grant to the
next Presidency Of the United States.
The meeting appears to have been mos
orderly, enthusiastic and appropriately
demonstrative, sincere in it's objects and
honest in its conclusions. Hon. VIM E.
Dodge, President Of the New York Cham
Der Of Commerce presided, and in the
course Of some well digested remarks,
referred to the general policy pursued by
the Administration. The heavy burdens
of taxation incumbent upon the late war
had been steadily lessened aud the Ma
tional debt reduced to an extent whicb
astonished European nations. Men of
high standing and ability had been select
ed to FILL Cabinet positions, anC while IN
the main, General Grants appointments
have given satisfaction, yet like all who
have ever filled the Presidential chair, he
had made some mistakes. The efforts OF
the President to organize and carry out
measures tending to the civilization, edu-
cation and Outstanding of our various
Indian tribes by their settlement on per-
manent reservations and securing for their
families sufficient agricultural lands in
perpetuity, Is marked feature of the
present Administrator, and has attracted
the attention OF the Christian world. In
huential lists of officers were announced,
and numerous letters of apology and SYM
pathy read from many of our best known
public men. Speeches were made by Gen.
Sickles, and Senators Wilson and Morton,
and the proceedings closed in manner
which unqualifedly testified TO the feel
ing of those present and their unwaver-
ing confidence as to the termination of the
approaching campaign.
