From Maine to California, is the title

to California" Send IS cents. to the

We are always pleased to receive any
legitimate local news-items which are
of general interest and importance-but
shall reject all personal illusions of a
mischieyous or malicious character that
any correspondent may send Is. We do
not intend, if we know it, to let any per-
son spit out his personal spite against
another through our columns. That is
not the purpose of a newspaper, if we
understand it.

The month of July is not considered as
a favorite season of the year. 1t has its
uses in the economy OF nature-it is a
good haying and harvesting month-but
aside from that it is the best month in
the year to run away from. 1t is prolific
Of green fruit and the stomach ache, and
it kills off more young children than all
the other months put together. 1t is the
season, too, for sunstrokes, whether the
thermometer is among the nineties or
not, and if the cholera car possibly be
reached it will be surely imported in July
if at all. Whatever can be done or
thought of that heat can accomplish may
now be reasonably expected. The month
gets its name from julius Caesar, a man
of war, and who was very appropriately
born in July. The one use of the month
apparently is to put money in the peck
cts of the ice men and to reduce the tenn
perature of strong drinks SO that they
can be swallowed easily.
Read the article in another part of our
paper headed, 1.-THE Flight of Time and
its Results" There is probably no rail
way in America that has made such pro-
gress in so short a time as the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy. 1t ranks among
the greatest thoroughfares in the United
States, and is differed and managed by
gentlemen who understand their bust
ness correctly. Perceval Lowell, ESQ.,,
Gen. Pass. Agent, is the right man in
the right place, and T.. w Lee, Esq in
charge of the newspaper and advertising
service, could not be improved upon. 1t
is a pleasure to meet and do business
with such kind and pleasant gentlemen.
Running west in connection with the G.
b. @. road is the Indianapolis, Bur-
ington and Western railway, that is un-
equalled in this country. H.. M. Bron-
son, Esq, Gen. Pass Agent, at Indian
apolis, is another right man in the right
place. Genial, courteous and plain, you
feel at home in his company. For pleas
ant comfort and scenery, We advise all
our readers going west to "catch on'' to
the 1. B. & w. and G. B. & @. railways.
None better and everybody 'stakes
them"
