BURLINGTON.

Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago
or Indianapolis, how shall we reach the West
The best line is acknowledged to be the C.B.
& O., joined together with the B. & NJ. Rail-
way by the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and
called 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 California.
The Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Pattsmouth, passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital, and will this year be finished to Fort
Kearney, forming the shortest distance across
the Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch Of the B. & M, diverging a
he'd Oak, falls into line running down the
Missouri through st. Toe to Kansas City, and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route TO Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Missoui,
and, and by slight divergence, can see Ne
braska also.
Lovers cf fine views should remember tn
Burlington Route, for its towns thigh-g lean
ing from far."--its tree-fringed streams---it

The New Years Snare.

Women, there are some things that
you can do, and this is one You can
make drinking unpopular and dis1
graceful among the young. You can
utterly discountenance all drinking
in your own house, and you can
hold in suspicion every young man
who touches the cup. You know
that no young man who drinks can
safely be trusted with the happiness
of any woman, and that he is as uu-
fit as a man can be for woman's so.
eiety. Have this understood that
every young man who drinks is So
cially prescribed. Bring up your child
rem to regard drinding as not only
dangerous but disgraceful. Place
temptation in no mans way. Re-
eognize the living, terrible fact that
wine has already been, and is to-day,
the curse of your sex that it steals
the hearts of men from you, that il
dries up your prosperity, that it en-
dangers your safety, that it can only
bring you evil. If social custom
compels you to present wine at your
feasts, rebel against it, and make a
social custom in the interests of vir-
tue and purity. The matter is very
much in your own hands. The wo-
men of the country in what is called
polite society, can do more to make
the nation temperate than all the leg
islators and tumnltuous reformers
that are struggling and laundering
in their efforts to this end.--Dr. Hol-

Interesting to Whiskey Drinkers,

The Philadelphia Price Current
says that the Western distillers have
recently invented new way of manu-.
featuring whiskey, by means of
which peculiar strength andl odor
are impaired to the product, highly
injurious to the health of consumers,
and certainly not creditable to those
engaged in its sale. Neither the
noxious ingredients themselves nor
the process of manufacture is known
to many outside the ring, but suf-
ticient has leaked out to show the
character of the men and the busio
ness. Sulphuric acid is blended with
the mash, or applied directly to the
products of the stills, which imparts
disagreeable odor TO the whiskey !;
aud so powerful is its effect upon it,
that it corrodes and eats up the in
side of the barrels in which the fou
compound is kept.
Another feature of this rotgut,
sold under the name of whiskey, is
that it cannot be extracted by any
process of distillation, Redistribution
or rectification. This fact has caus-
ed its presence to be traced in high
wines purchased from the West by
respectable distillers here, and
prompted them to shut down on the
nefarious traffic as injurious to life
and the best interests of the trade.
By experiment, it has been tested
that if a small piece of iron or copper
is inserted with this acid, the entire
mass will be instantly backened
and if left in it for short time will
evolve large quantity Of acetate
Of copper verdigris. Such q CONS
pound cannot fail to prove fearfully
injurious to the public health, if
brought into general use and we
are glad to perceive that "a combin>
ed effort is contemplated by the trade
altogether. III this be not sufficient,
the consequences are sufficiently se-
rious to call for some legislative en-
actment by which the sales Of this
poisonous stuff shall be prohibited
under the severest penalties.

OLD SETTLERS CLUB-We learn
from the Milwaukee papers that a
very enjoyable time was had in that
city the evening of the 21st, over the
event Of the Old Settlers Annual
Banquet. About eighty guests were
honored with seats at the table -
The banquet was presided over by
DIR. Enoch Chase, the Oldest citizen
of Milwaukee. There were several
invited guests, prominent among
whom we notice the names of Gov
Fairchild, H. ii. Giles, VIM. M. Dem
mis-, Rufus Cheney, and i. G. Dous~
man.
The following toasts were offered

following:
"Hon. Henry Dodge, governor del
egate in Congress and senator. The
great aud successful captain of the
aggressive civilization of Wisconsin.
His memory will ever be held dear
by its citizens"
Other old settlers, unable to be
present, sent words of cheer and
pleasant memories.

Lincoln.

The London Spectator closes a
long review Of DR.. Diapers "Histo,
ry Of the civil war in America" with
the following reference to the martyr
President and his coadjutors "The
figure and character Of Lincoln, the
uncultivated western man, so simple
strong and thorough, is one of those
which will not readily pass away
from the memories of men. 1t stands
beside the courtly Washington, for
if the latter founded, Lincoln saved
the Republic, and more than any
other man made it nation. In say
ing this we do not overlook tho cor
vices of the civil coadjutors, some of
whom-Stanton, for example-had
not had justice done them in Europe;
do we forget the labors of Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan, or of Farra-
gut and Porter, whose high qualities
were illustrated during every phase
Of the war But the most original,
and perhaps the loftiest, character
brought to light by the conflict was
that Of the steadfast President who
died so tragically just as victory W as
won, and az the peace he sighed for
dawned upon the troubled land.

The Size Of the Union.

Ii has been said that there is only
one man who has a correct idea of the
size of the United States, and he is
the man who drove a yoke OF oxen
in 1820-21 from Maine to California.
However this may be, the newspaper
remark that "few people realize the
immensely of our territorial area"
is true. There are in The great west
eleven territories, two or three Of
which are twice or three times as
large as all New England and it is a
small territory that not at least
ten times as large as Massachusetts
Colorado is thirteen times as large
as Massachusetts, while Dakota and
Arizona are half as large again as
Colorado, The eleven territories, as
accurately as can at present be ascer-
tanned, contain over one billion and
quarter of acres 1886, 1886, 919,) ex-
