Never in the annals of railroad history
has there been so great inducements Of
fered to carry our people Eastward at rates
next to nothing. Every patriotic indlvid-
ual of our forty millions have, within the
last year, encouraged themselves with the
hope of visiting our great National Ex-
hibition In Philadelphia, the immensely
of which makes hope brighter and faith
stronger in the perpetual existence and
future of our Great Republic. The gath
ering of ten millions of our country peo-
pie in the grand legendary old city of
Philadelphia and the viewing of the ira
ditional Hall of our first Congress, the
old bell that rang out our independence,
the spot wherein our firm forefathers in
dited that instrument which forever de
clared us unshackled and a free people,
the broad graphic Delaware, rich in his
tory Of our struggling ancestors and every
thing that could tend to awaken feeling
of reverence and inspire awe is embodied
within the limits of that sacred, dear old
city. The prominent revolutionary
events, which transpired over century
ago, are being lived over again, and the
rising generation refreshed by history of
our suffering, brave and plucky patriots.
The moment0us affairs of our country's
baptism in blood is now most fifty COM
memoratcd by the vast concourse of all
nations who cheerfully lend their aid in
celebrating most properly in Philadelphia
the peace and prosperity which has been
brought about within century. Then
let us celebrate The magnificent Fl.
Wayne & Pennsylvania Railway Centin-
NAL tickets are on sale everywhere, and
this is the only line which runs its Sleep
ing Coaches, Hotel Cars, and Drawing
room Palaces without change, to their new
Centennial Depot, on the Centennial
grounds. 1t must be remembered that
boarding can be procured at from one
dollar to five dollars per day, in Philadel-
phia, and some of the largest and most
complete hotels it the world are within
five minutes walk of the grounds. The
Great TT. Wayne & Pennsylvania have
hundreds of new and elegant coaches con-
structed purposely for the Centennial,
and are prepared to run, additional to
their three Centennial daily trains, when
required, to accommodate the multitude.
The schedule has been SO arranged as to
make direct connections at ell railway
functions.

Revolutionary Fines"

Among many other things to which this
Centennial year has given rise none eX-
cept, perhaps the Centennial itself, is
more prominent or useful than the vari-
Gus books which have appeared the past
season and are yet being published
There have been issued the past few
months Centennial Histories, "and other
kindred works almost without number, but
one of the most entertaining volumes of
Centennial literature which we have seen
is a small 1Smo., volume written by Ed
ward Abbott and published by Roberts
Bros, Boston. 1t is entitled Revolutions
airy Times" and is composed of those lit
tie sketches of the way our forefathers
lived and the manner in which they car
ried on their business, which all like to
read, but which cannot be found in any
other volume. The book is filled with just
such little bits of history, anecdotes, quo
tations from the early newspapers, &C.,
as will interest everybody and cap
tivate the reader at first sight 1t is small
enough to go into the pocket, and is the
best thing we know of to while away the
time and at the same lmpart curious and
interesting information. 1t will be sent
to any address, postpaid, for $1.OO, by
Jansen, McClurg & Co., Chicago.

We wish something could be done to
satisfy the n. Y Sun and kindred guer-
rilla newspapers. But short time since
they were bowling and believing like the
Bulls of Bashan because President Grant
was absent SO much from the Capital,
and one Democratic statesman ~ even
went so far in his impudence as to intro
duce bill in Congress calling upon the
President to give an account of himself
and inform the gang of rebels how many
days he had been away from Washington.
And now, when, if ever, his presence is
needed there, while former member of
his cabinet is under trial for impeach-
mcnt. while the houses of Congress are
wrangling over the appropriation bills,
while an Indian war is in progress at
home and a foreign war is imminent, these
papers are feeling just us badly because
he does stay in Washington. "Any thing
to beat Grant"

Who spent the cash that Garvey stoleY
Who pardoned Jimmy IngersoIlg
Who takes the public for q fool?
Sam Tilden.
VINO stuck to Tweed through thick ard thin,
Who counted John T. Hoffman ins
Who thought the Union war sinY
Sam Tilden.
VINO, when our Tilden said the war
10 save the Union went too far,
Received in fight patriots scar?
Why, Hayes,
Who, when railroads in FIX
Is eager in the muss to mix.
And waddles in and takes the tricks?
Ask the Elpress.
Who was it signed the Gray Nun BILL
And when the People took it i'll.
Did meekly smile and sign repeal?
Sam Tilden.
Who struck 1.-The Boss' when he was down.
Who winked when Tweed went out Of town,
And never gave the Sheriff frown?
Why, Tilden
Who, when O'Brien turned informer,
Assumed the role of Chief Reformer,
And stole the plum like Jacky Horners
Sam Tlden
Who, when advised to leave the ranks
And work for Office, answered, Thanks;
But he who leaves the lines to- day
To seek for office, let me say
Ought to be scalped! Excuse, me, pray"

North and West.

One of the largest, most successful and
enterprising corporations in the world is
the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Co.
1t owns and operates over 1000 miles of
road running oyer and through the five
great States of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan. Its cars are the
finest in the world and its track especially
on the main lines cannot be surpassed,
being laid wholly with steel rails and kept
in first-class condition. On all night
trains the celebrated Pullman Palace
Cars are run, and who ever has once rode
in one of these elegant sleeping coaches
will never travel by night without first
securing berth. That aroad possessing
as many attractions as does this one,
should meet with greater success than any
other western road is not at all surprising.
and when we learn that the North
western is fast taking leading position
in the East as the most popular route
West, North and Northwest of Chicago,
we know it is because the people can ap-
preciate good thing. Mr.. w. II. STEM
nnett, the able General Passenger Agent
of the Northwestern, has recently written
and compiled an interesting guide over
this route, which is published in hand
some style by the Company. tits entitl-
ed ''The North & West Illustrated" and is
what it purports TO be a guide to the lakes
and rivers, to the plains and mountains,
to the resorts of birds, game animals and
fish, for the benefit of the commercial
traveller, the land hunter and the emigrant.
1t is finely printed volume of over 100
pages, illustrated with many beautiful
views of scenery along the route, and con-
tains much interesting information to all.
A copy of this valuable work will be sent
to any address on receipt of a stamp, and
any of our friends who contemplate trayel-
ing will do we'll to send for a copy of this
guide. Address, W. II. Stennett, Gent.

The Democratic Party in Congress seems
determined to stop the wheels of Coy
ernmcnt by refusing to agree to The nee
essary appropriations. This has given
rise to some lively debate in which some
truths have been spoken which do not
please the Democrats very much. Hon.
Jas. Wilson, of Iowa, in speech in the
House recently stated the difference be-
the wide-awake Republican party and
the antiquated Democracy, as follows:
The republicans regard the country as
growing and expanding, and thing il nee
essary to provide for it. The democrats
seem to regard the country as dead and
proceed to administer on the estate by
shutting up the house, bringing the fam
lily together to mourn, notifying every
body of tie sad event, putting on II rue
full countcnancc; money only is paid for
any purpose after the utmost difficulties.
A funeral gloom seems settled on the
House. One can scarcely help thinking
that enc of the old Jewish prophets is
present proclaiming, "Woe to the land,
and the inhabitants thereof"
