Western friends find best and most
agreeable and thrifty way to the coast

quarters this highway is the best for

and the railways of this State afford
the very best means OF distribution

There is a poin. which We cannot
enforce too earnestly for their good
upon the Furnishing cities OF
Ohio. That is, that this middle
route of access 10 the Chesapeake is
their very best protection against the
drain towards the lakes. We see
that Chicago in a few years has sur

10 consider the WAYS and means with

TO contribute towards constructing
it through Hamilton county and inio

A French writer publishes some
curious details of the home life Of the
Emperor William, who, as is known, in
habits house Of no great pretensions:
On entering his study the Emperor sp-
prosches that second window, where rs
suspended an almanac for his personal
use. Every leafhasat the top a verse from
the Bible, or sentiment extracted from
some German poet or philosopher; then,
underneath the date, in large print, are
set down the marking event Of the reign,
the publication Of certain ordinances,
the reviews held, journeys undertaken,
visits received, etc. The Emperor likes
TO add remarks in pencil on those pages,
and offer sums up his day in line or a
phrase. Those manuscript notes will be
valuable for the history Of his life. His
Majesty next receives his doctor, who,
according TO his observation, permits the
sovereign TO go out, or orders him to keep
his room.
