Atchison, Topeka L. santa Fe Il. X.

The Chicago Tribune says: Mr.. w. b.
Strong, vice president and general manager Of
the Alchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad,
has Just returned to this city from q tour of
inspection over the entire system OF his
company's lines. Mr.. Strong speaks very
enthusiastically of the rapid Roadway being
made on the various extensions OF his road,
and the great results that are sure to follow
their completion. The main line is rapidly
goingto Ell Paso and Is expected to reach that
point on or before April |. The whole work
ing force will then be placed on the Mexican
Central, which runs from Ell Paso south to
Mexico City. This latter road will be viru-
ally an extension of the Atchlson, Topeka e
Santa Fe railroad, and Is controlled by the
same parties that control that road. The
distance from FL Paso to Mexico Is from
900 to 200 miles, and the line Will be
completed within three years from January
LIST, next. The road from Albuquerque to
Guavmas is also making rapid Roadway, and
the work is being pushed with all possible
speed from both ends. That part of the road
from Guaymas to Hermosillo is now nearly
done, and the entire line, from the junction
with the main line in New Mexico, to Quay.
mas, on the gulf of California, is expected to
be completed and ready for business about
January /, 1882. With the completion of this
road the Atchson, Topeka IL Santa Fee will
have the short line TO Japan Australia, South
America and the Sandwich Islands. BY this
route it will be about 1900 miles nearer tc
Australia and about the same distance nearer
to Japan than by way of San Francisco, and
of course, all business to and from those
points will be diverted to the new route. The
Atlantic d Pacific extension of the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe, which runs west from
Albuquerque to San Francisco, Is also making
good Roadway. About sixty miles of thi:
road west from Albuquerque are already com
pleted, and about mile OF new road is added
every day. About eighteen months more will
see this road completed To the Pacific coast.

Mary had William goat,
And he was black as jet
He followed Mary round all day,
And liked her! you just bet!
lie went with her to school one day,
The teacher kicked him out;
IL MADE the children grin, you know,
To have the goat about.
But though old Whackem kicked him out,
Yet still he fingered near;
He waited just outside the door
TIL Whackem did appear.
Then William ran TO meet the maa-
He ran his level best;
And met him just behind, you know,
Down just below the vest.
Old Whackem turned somerset;
The goat stood on his head,
And Mary laughed herself so sick
She had 70 60 TO bed.

she is certainly a charming talker. When
asked if she resembled the great Mrs. Sid
