location of the capital at Bismarck will ad-
vance the value of land along the line of
the Northern. Pacific railroad and for many
miles out on either side. This feeling

dramatic, lyric, Pindaric and other meas
ures, and evidences the authors posses
sion of a poetic genius, that does not

1.-The park, the park, the National park,
The greatest wonder since Noah's ark
In this region relics are found
To prove that here we went aground,
And all the animals we're turned loose
From JumbO's cousin to Mother Goose.
To reach this country grand and terrific
Buy your tickets via the Northern Pacific
The sweet singer of Michigan in pale
and yellow melancholy willingly yields
the rosette.
i The Omaha line will on the first of July
proximo, establish dining cars on all
! through trains between Minneapolis and
| Chicago. To supply this service the com
| pany will place two cars on the st. Paul
division, the ''St. Paul. and Minneapolis, -
which have been built at the North West
ern car works near Chicago, and are IN
| Guestionably the most magnificent Of any
ever turned out in the west. They are of
unusual length, finished in superb style
and furnish Accommodations for forty pas
| sengers. The interior surpasses in decor
| alton, NERVOUSNESS and convenience, all
previous efforts and the general make up
and appearance of the vehicles defes
description. They will be lighted by
| Pintsch gas, that is, compressed oil
gas stored away in reservoirs underneath
each car with capacity sufficient to furnish
! the burners for thirty-tw0 hours. The car
proper is finished in satin, ebony, mahog-
ony, rosewood and cherry woods, and
presents an appearance SO attractive as
| to enthuse an ancherite into expressions
of admiration. The royal route has long
since established its reputation as com
mon carrier, bat this latest achievement
will make opposition lines hump them
selves to avoid falling short of public ex-
| pectation.
