FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure aomfort and convenience,
Trains run through without change Of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
but single change of cars to Iowa
Kansss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such advan.
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this. and in the end may lead
to tie saving Of much Of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur.

Some idea of the magnitude of the
Bank Of England may be learned from
the fact that it covers FIVE acres oi
ground and employs 900 clerks. The
building is amply protected against fire
by large cistern sunk in the courts and
by engines kept in order for immediate
use. Light is admitted through open
courts there being no windows on the
streets, so that no mob could force its
way into the structure except by using
cannons to batter down the great walls
The bank was incorporated in l649.

n%Twenty years Of Republican as
cendancy in the nation have produced
their Legitimate fruits, according to Geo
William Curtis, editor Of Harpers
Weekly, who writes:
"Under she presentsystem the politics
of the country are becoming more and
more mercenary, and Presidential elec-

gerous. State elections are carried by
the open use Of money, and the agents
of this notorious corruption are publicly

is continually held up to the people for
their worship and support!

FRIENDS THE HEART CANNOT
FORGET.

There are friends the heart cannot forget,
They have shown their devotion and worth ,
And will live in our memory's hall,
When their spirits have flown from the
earth;
When we look at the good they have done,
How their failings will fade into air!
And we grieve to think that our hasty word,
May have added to sorrow care
There are friends the heart cannot forget,
We may love on the land or the tide;
We will find them at night in. our dream,
And by day they are close by our side;
And how often the smile or the sigh,
Over something to others unknownl
Though friends are away, yet dreamy day
Can return them with pleasure of home.
If new friend should offer the hand,
| We would think of the world with its art;
1t is time with its trials that caIms
All the doubts that are storms to the heart;
When they prove they are worthy of trust.
That their metal is purest of gold.
They, too. will be friends we cannot forget,
And will share in our love for the old.

Gov. st. John, of Kansas, has been
recently making some grand speeches
Ia Illinois, Indiana and Kansas, and
from one of them We make the fol-
lowing extracts.-(ED.
THE oUraRowTH OF FANATIcIsM.
But says one, the Prohibitory Law
is the outgrowth of ffansticism. 1 want
to say to you, my friends, that every
great reform that has given US bet
ter and purer civilization, aud greater
security for the fircsidc, family and
home, was inaugurated and advoca-
ted by men who have been branded
as fanatics. Christ, in his day, was
SO designated, yet the religion he
gave to the world, its hope aud con-
ISOLATION, out of which has grown the
grandest civilization upon the face of
the globe. is to-day the moral law Of
nations it matters not where you 60,
where you find Christianity the rul-
ing influence, you will find civiliza-
tion at its highest, and wherever you
find an absence of Christianity you
will find an approach to barbarism
Calico, when he advanced the theory
that the world moved and was round,
was branded as fanatic and made to
take pledge that he woufd never
preach that doctrine again, and as he
arose from his.knees after taking the
pledge, in subdued tone he said:
THE world does move, for all that"
Other fanatics came after Gslileo ad-
voca.ing this theory, and to-day we
are all fanatics upon that subject.
Charles Sumner was a fanatic Wen
dell Phillips was n fanatic; Gerritt
Smith was fanatic; Wm. Lloyd Gar
rison was a fsnatic; Abraham Lin
coin, God bless his sainted name,
have heard branded as a fanatic a
thousand times.
