l'he incorporation ot lne Oohs'uen'oA
Railroad Company, with a capital OF
300 600 900, to build railroad fiom
New York to Council Bluffs, with feed
srs extending to the North and South,
is an event of interest. More lines and
quicker communication between New
York and Chicago are needed. The
present accommodation is inadequate
to the rapidly-increasing business of
the West, and at least six great trunk
lines between the lakes and. seaboard
must be built within the next FIVE
years, if business maintains its present
enormous rate of increase.

"A few days since, an American
was seized in the streets of London,
Canada, forced into a cab, choloro-
formed, and taken to Detroit, where a
warrant of arrest was made out. The
Dominion Government was notified of
this hig handed outrage, and, on last
Tuesday evening, Sir John Macdonald
stated to Parliament that memorials
on the subject had been sent to the
British Minister, at Washington, and
to the Imperial Government. 1t has
been claimed that the man kidnapped

trary, he was Southerner. Of high
standing, who had incurred the enmity
of the South Carolina capet. bag ring;
had been threatened with arrest under
the Ku Klux law; and had fled to Can
ada to escape the Vaccinations of his
enemies. 1t seems little hard on an
American citizen to be delivered over
to et-baggers at home, and then
be punished for not staying at home
and submitting quietly to robbery and
insult.

The Paris Journal makes the follow
ing amusing statements regarding Miss
Nellie Grant, daughter of the Presi-
dent, now travelling in Europe.
"Miss Grant is one Of the most high
ly educated women in Europe. She
speaks with facility English, German,
French, and Italian. She has contri-
buted under the veil Of an anonymous
signature to several American maya
zines; and on her return to her own
country she is to marry the son of one
of the richest manufacturers Of New
York. who is a member of the Amer

Along with this important informa-

United States is likely to arise from
any point of etiquette connected with
it. This fully meets the demands of,
our friend Hannibal Chollop, "We
must be cracked up, we must, or We
shows our teeth fierce, we do"
