A WORD TO TRAVELLERS! I'VE have
q word to say in favor of the Missouri
Pacific railroad. 1t was the "pioneer'
line Westward and is the cold reliable"
route to st. Louis. With the improve
ments which have been made during
the past year, we believe that the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad has the best
track and the finest and safest equip
ment of any line west of the Mississ-
ippi. It is the only line which runs
three daily express trains of fine
coaches and Pullman sleepers, equip
ped with the Miller platform and the
patent air brake, from leading points
in the West, through Kansas City, Sc
dalia and Jefferson City to st. Louis
without change, connecting at st.
Louis with eleven different through
routes to points North, East and South.
Particular information, with maps,
time tables, &c, may be had at the
various Through ticket" railroad sta
tons in the West, or upon personal or
written application to G. II. Baxter.

A correspondent writing from Bombay
says; "You have all heard of the Parsees.
They are the Jews OF bombay. They are q
race that was excluded from Persia, as the
Jews have been from many countries, They
have very peculiar notions of lie, but their
cemetery Is more peculiar still It's differ
cnt from all others. We made visit to
their cemetery, not knowing at the time thar
no one was admitted. It ID q large trnct on
the best part Of MalOber Hill. ills very val-
uablc now, but 1t was purchased many years
ago. We made application at the gate for
admission and were refused. We appealed
to young Parsco who happened to be
passing. lie was dressed In silk, and very
Hentlemanly In his appearance. lie said that
NO Europeans were admitted. We told hun
that we were not Europeans, but Americans.
lie said he would be very happy to oblige
Americans, but could not, but did consent
that we should go up the road, outside the
inner wall, and have q view Of the city and
bay. The sentinel took US along the winding
road, aud rupee glyon to him acted like u
charm. II opened all tho gates and passed
the police. There were no Parsees In sight
10 stand IN our way, aud we entered the pro-
hlbited enclosures. Tho grounds are sur
rounded by wall twenty feet high, and
have been used for great number Of years
by this strange people. There are no mon
uments In the cemetery. There ara IGrce
round towers about iliiy feet In diameter,
and tifty TO sixty feet high. On the top Of
these towers there IL m iron Crate, The
dead arc brought to the gate and delivered
to the priests, aud the friends depart. The
priests prepare the corpse and lay itpn the
crate, and Il Is dcyourSi by tho yiltures, and
aie bones drop through tue crate Into tht
charnel house below. These towers or vault
arc called the Towers OF Siena.' We saw
hundreds OF yultures sitting on these towers
and the sentinel told us that they would take
all the flesh from the bones OF o corpse In al
hour. We asked why those tpwers3 Til,
sentinel, pointing to one, said, 'Parsoe witt
plenty oi money put there;' to another, Par
Zoe with but little money put there, aud tn
other, 'Parscc with no money put there.
The sentinel said when a corpse Is placed Of
the CRATE the strife and noise OF tho yuliure
Is irlghtlul and could be heard for q lsr
distance. We saw those Towers OF Sii, =,
and do not care ever to be any neayey." 'n'
