| A GOOD WORK.-We ale pleased
to see that our people are fully alive
to the duty OF keeping the new
cemetery in order. The rank weeds
and heavy underground which had
wsll-nIgh concealed many graves
have been cut down and removed,
the long grass destroyed, lots clear
ed for enclosure, and preparations
being made fer planting flowers and
shrubbery with which to alorn and
beauty this ''silent city of the
dead" A few lots in the old Gene
terry also give evidence that some
who slumber there are not forgotten
by the living. Our new cemetery
is susceptible of high cultivation,
and with proper care and attention
can be made delightful retreat
and nOst beautiful ornament 10 the
city.
During a stroll ihither, a few af
tCluOOhS cIuCCs We WCAO "uSu . aoe-
flied to witness the pleasing change
in tho general appearance of the
place, and trust the good work will
be continued while any thing re-
mains 10 be done. There is scarce
ly a rude mound Of earth that bears
not some emblem of friendship or
affection, while many are tastefully
and Ella bOrately decorate d.
Wreathes, garlands, crosses and
bouquets are suspended from mOnu
ment and tomb, or rest upon the
lowly graves of the humber dead.
OF the four hundred aud more
resting places of our sleeping sol
diery, each one bears evidence of
woman's gentle sympathy and abid-
ing friendship. May tits beautiful
and sacred custom never be neg
lected by our fair countrywoman.

The Rush tc Kansas and Colorado.

The indications are that the rush to Kan
sas and Colorado will be greater than ever
in l51l. The shortest way TO reach the far
West is through st. Louis the great Missis-
slppi Valley City, Of over 100000 inhabi-
tants. and thence west over the st. Louis,
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, which
reaches all the great land grants in the
West, and runs SIX fast express trains two
more than any otter road, between the Mis-
siss;ppi and Missouri rivers. This road, in
the last two years. has expended over two
million dollars, besides earnings in cXtrior-
binary improvements of roadway, in relay
ing its line with the best quality of new
steel and iron rails, on broad new ties, and
in passenger equipment, having substituted
for ordinary ears new reclining chair coach
es with every appliance for comfort and
safety, being elegantly fitted with dressing
rooms, with toilet cOnveuicnccS for ladies'
and gentlemen and families tr:,velin. with
children, free of any extra charge. Any
ticket agent selling through tickets to the
West will furnish tickets by this excellent
route through st. Louis over the St Louis
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, the
best and shortest to Kansas Colorado, Ne
brasla, California, and the Great Vest
being the only tire running through cars
between st. Louis and Ouall1. For map
