THE HOWL AGAINST THE CENTRAL
PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY.

FACArAC NAlLhOAD COMFANA'
As an independent journal we are ever
ready to oppose monopolies, and have exert
ed ourselves in opposition to the granting
of subsidies In all cases where-private In
terests were being subserved at the expense
Of the public good. We cannot but think,
however, that the healthy public sentiment
against subsidies has been used for un-
worthy purposes. 1t has come to be the
fashion that in cases where interested par
ties wish to break down any rising public
man to stigmatize him as having been
"bought BY the railroad influence" As
an instance, We refer to the nomination of
Page of Ell Dorado county blythe recent
Convention at Sacramento. There were
two principal candidates: Porter of Ala
media, and Page of Ell Dorado. Now, curl
Gus as it may seem, Porter was backed by
the Sacramento Union and by the Central
Pacific Railroad Company. A sufficient
number of votes had been secured to nomi-
nate Porter, but it so Bappesed that Por-
ter was distasteful to the friends of Sargent,
and they went to worE;ahd bursted the
"slate" and Page was nominated in opposi-
tion to the railroad company. The next
day the Sacramento Union comes out and
tells US that the nomination of Page was
brought about by the railroad eompany,
when the very reverse is the fact. For
our statement IN reference to the edufuence
which brought about the nomination OF
Page, we have the highest authority. We
refer to this matter to show that there is
good ground for the growing suspicion that
the cry of "railroad influence" is being
used to cover other ulterior designs San

How to Read.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson says,
in recent number Of the Womsn's Jour-
nal:
I was once called upon to prescribe
intellectually for young girl Of fair
abilities, who sho we'd no want OF brains
in conversation, but had . perfect indif-
ference to books She read dutifully and
torpidly whatever was set before her
novels. travels, history, all were the
same each page drove out the previous
page, and her memory was blank. Her
parents asked me TO teach her to read;
she Joined in the request, and consented
TO the experiment, on condition that she
would faithfully read a single book in
the way should direct. She consented.
1t was the time Of kossuth's visit,
when every body vas talking about the
Hungarian rerolntien. The book chose
was /" Hungary in 1864, by Bruce. of
far more interest then than nov. / pre-
scribed in ii daily doses OF one chapter.
IL possible she was to read that--the
chapters being short-but under no cen.

some remark suggested by it. She mist

her, or seek the explanation of some
word, or anything else she pleased. Her
comment might be only to say thas
Gorgy was a traitor, or to inquire how
his name should be pronounced; but at
least there must be one sentence OF re-
mark per chapter. From time to time i

the prescription, and she took it courage

greatest difficulty 1t was to keep her
to one chapter 1t seemed to her such
mistake, such waste OF opportunity,
when she could so easily manage five or
six chapters in day. Had she done so.
all would have been lost, so was mex
orablc The consequence was that she
never failed to read her chapter, and
when she got to the end Of it, for want
Of anything better to do, she read 1t over
again, or went to work with her note

she rote beautiful hand.

every few days, WAS astonished vt the

some days, to be sure, there wenld be

there were questions, doubts and eri.i

cow SUICIDE.

A. most singular event happened little
below Caropdelet yesterday. Mr.. Chas.
T. Rosenfeld, a farmer in that vicinity,
owned very valuable roan-colored COW.
About two weeks ago some enemy of his
entered the stable and cut off the poor
beasts tail near the stump. The perpe-
traitor of this outrage on the dumb crea-
ture was not identified. AS matter of
course, during the intense heat, and when
troubled by the flies, the poor creatur e
was without her natural means of defense
against her persistent and ammo ying enc
mics, and was excited to the very verge
of madness.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Rosenfel d
was surprised, while watching her from
the ssoop of his house, to see her, after
several mad attempts to shake off her
throng ing enemies, deliberately rush to-
ward the river, without attempting to
swim, go dow n in the water. Instances
of suicide by animals are but rare, but,
from the circumstances attending this
there cannot be the slightest doubt that
this poor beast sought death to escape
tormenting life.-St. Louis Democrat.

HOW TO GO WEST.

8 This is an enquiry which every one should
have trat1Jwl1y answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in exam
ination of Routes will in many cases save
much trouble, time and money.
The &C., B. & @. r. R.,' running from
Chicago through Galesburg to Burlington,
has achieved a splendid reputation in the
last tive years as The leading Passenger
Route to the west. At Burlington it connects
with the great Burlington Route which runs
direct through Southern Iowa to Nebraska
and Kansas. with close connections to Cali
fofnia and the Territories; and passengers
starting from Kenosha County, on their way
Westward, cannot do better than to take the
G. B. & O.. and Burlington Route.
This line has published a pamphlet called
GLOW to 60 West" which contains much
valuable information; a large correct map of
the Great West, which can be obtained free
