BURLINGTON.

Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago
indianapolis, how shall we reach the West
The best line is acknowledged to be the c., B.
& O., joined together with the B. 81 M. Rail-
road 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 Cali
fornia. The middle Branch, entering Nebras-
ka at Portsmouth, passes through Lincoln,
the 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: M, diverging at
Red Oak, falls into line running down the
Missouri through st. Joe to Kansas City and
all Kansas. Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa, and Missouri,
and, by slight divergence, can see Nebras
ka also.
Lovers of fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for It's towns high gleam-
ing from afar''-its tree fringed streams-its
rough bluffs and quarries-its corn-oceans
stretching over the prairies further than the
eye can reach. .. .., ....
Land buyers will be sure to remember it,
for they have friends among the two thousand
who have already bought farms from Geo. s.
Marrs the Land Commissioner of the g. e.
70. r. r., at Burlington, Iowa, or among the
wur thousand homesteaders and pre-emptors

office, where "Uncle Sam is rich enough to

L THE CENTENARY COMMISSION.

The Commission appointed by the
President to represent the various
States and Territories on the oc-
casion Of the d proposed Centen-
NAL Fourthof July celebration in
1875 assembled in Philadelphia on Mon
day last. They were received by Mayor
Stokely and Committees of tbs City
Councils accompanied by representatives
of the prominent bodies, mercantile
literary and scientific: At noon the
Commissioners were escorted to indie
pendence Hall where an address or wei
come was made, and q response given by
Ex-Governor HawleY of Connecticut. The
Common Council Chamber has been
granted by resolution for the sessions of
the commission which held preliminary
meeting and was called to order by Da-
vid Atwood, editor Of the Madison (Wis)
State Journal, who had been previously
elected as chairman pro tenn. The Rev.
Dr.. Hutter opened the proceedings with
prayer after which committees were ap-I
pointed on the reception of credentials,
ofpermanent oficers,and pre-
parations of by laws and regulations.
Thus the intiatory steps are being ia
ken looking to the celebration of the most
glorious festival which has ever graced
the history of the United States-the One
Hundreth Anniversary Of our National
independence. The day will mark an
epoch in American history and be char
acterized by display of magnifcence
which has never been witnessed on this
Continent before and whose like, it may
safely be predicted ace at all events shall
never see again,

BILL TO UNITE RACINE AND KENosHA
COUNTIES We published last week bill
introduced in the Assembly to authorize
the qualified electors of Racine and Keno
sha counties to vote on the question of
uniting these two counties. The bill had
not then, and, as far as we have seen, has
not yet, been reported by the Committee.
The bill merely authorizes the qualified
electors to vote on The question, canvass
ing the votes, and filing the result in the
Office of the Secretary Of State. The bill
does not even say thatif the majority vote
for Union that it repeats the law uniting
the couaties, or that the counties are
thereby united. Admitting it to repeal
the law, Racine, being the County Seat
before the counties were divided, would
become the County Seat when united.
This ould not be satisfactory to the peo-
pie of Union Grove and vicinity, nor to
the people Of "Sebastopol" and vicinity
And, as we thought at the beginning, so
we think now, as the people who, at first
thought, were IN favor of Union, see clear
ly the result Of their dOings, they become
satisfied 10 let "well enough" alone.

ROBINSON ON THE TEMPERANCE BILL
Our Assembly lyman, Hon. F. Robinson
voted for ordering the Temperance bill
to third reading, for an amendment
submitting the matter to tho electors at
the fall election against the amendment
for striking out the liability of lessons Of
places where liquor was sold; against
laying it on the table against referring it
to the judiciary Committee; against the
amendment leaving it to the authorities
of each city, town or village whether the
bond necessary to the enforcement of the
law should be required; against the sub.
stitute bill offered by Mr.. Graham, which
was sdopted; against ordering the bill
engrossed and to third reading and
against the passage of the bill.
We have not seen the votes ON several
important measures, among which was tc
make intoxication a penal offense pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment, and to
include drug stores among the places
where liquors are prohibited from being
sold without license, and to subject them
to the same liabilities with other places
where liquors are sold without hlicense
It would be interesting to see the vote OF
our Assemblyman on all important
measures connected with the Temperance
Bill. ~
