The MEXICAN CENTRAL trains are now
running from FL Paso to the City Of Mexico
on schedule time of iilty-etght hours. This
is - decided improvement over the old stage
coach trip uf two weeks.
The fare, liity-two dollars and fifty cents,
is also an Improvement over the old time
when it cost a fortune to visit the "llalls of
the Montezumas.''
The opening Of the road in the spring of
the year is most opportune in more ways
than one 1t gives the capitalist and pros
pector 4 chance to begin operations during
the best season of the year, though, for that
matter, the season rarely conflicts with any
occupation whatever in Mexico
1t is most opporune for the tourist who
will wish to get away from the sultry days
of our own summer to the magnificent sum
mer Of the Mexican Plateau.
The country through which the road runs
is situated at an elevation of from five to
seven thousand feet above the sca-eyel, and
its climate is simply superb. In the oddly
of the people, the quaintness of the cities
and antiquity of its ruins, Mexico rivals
Europe itself.
Until Mexico is Amercanzed, al least
trip to that Spanish America will be as
interesting as the grand tour," while the
great difference in expense will make it for
most of us the favorite.
1t is noticeable that the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fo and Mexican Central are the
only roads that meet ina Union Depot at FL
Paso, where trains stand side by side; thus
avoiding Troublesome transfer across the
city. Another conspicuous feature of the
train service is the arrangement by which
those coming to FL Iaso over the Santa Fe
make almost immediate connection with the
Mexican trains, while by other routes the
traveller suffers Il delay of some fifteen hours.
Perhaps this was an accident and, perhaps
ii wasn't; at all events, the average tourist
will take the quickest and most convenient
route.
The Santa Fe trains run from Kansas City
to FL Paso without change of cars Of any
kind, SO that the companies have practically
u through route from the Missouri River to
the City of Mexico.
One of the pleasantcst things about "trip
along this route is the entire absence OF
danger from the diseases incident to jour
ney on the low lands, for the Mexican Cen
trails entire course is on the great plateau
from five to seven thousand feet above the
sca-leyel.
Tie summer climate, Oh account Of the
elevation, is simply magnificent, and vii
always hold for this route the favor Of the
public, while its American compadre, the
Santa Fe, will open the eyes of the eastern
tourist with their grand hotel at the La,
! Negas-llot Springs, now being rebuilt OH ;
grander scale than before, with tile ancient
city Of Santa Fc and Tie yine-clad valley o
the Rio Grande.

Announcement is made of the rapid com
petion Of a Pictorial work comprising the
Lives Of the Presidential Candidates ON the
Republican ticket, written by the veteran
author, MIR. J. w. Bur. and published by
n. y. Thompson u CO., st. Louis, Mo-, and
New York. This work is sold through agents
exclusively. 1t is Designed, not only to serve
the popular taste and want in giving exhaus-
lively, the facts in the bOyhuud and man
hood Of the Candidates their private Lives
and Public ServicpS--but to have IL more
enduring interest than the ordinary Cam
paign book. 10 this end the publishers have
engaged on the work a corps Of skilled de-
signeis and cngraycIS to elegantly and pro-
luSeiy illustrate the scenes and incidents in
the lives Of these eminent men nov so prom
ncnty before the people. Personal anccdn-
ties and "reminiscences will constitute lead
ing anu certainly 4 most entertaining and
instructive feature ofthiS fine work.
Mr.. }ne has marked ability and enjoys
especial distinction AS a Biographical writer.
While exhaustive in the recital of flcts. his
powers Of analysis, and his keen insight into
the philosophy uf events and measures, give
him special prominence among American
writer's of personal history. IL is not too
much to say That he is better prepared for
the work in hand than any other American
author. Accredited by our government in
his tour and residence in Russia and Siberia,
his great work on Nihiliom and Exile Life in
Siberia gave him a standing in the highest
literary and gBiciat circles in this country as
writer at once conscientious, forciblc and
picturesque. This has given him unsur-
passed facilities for procuring all the mater
ial for the work now in land. AS book of
fascinating interest, beauty and profuseness
of illustration, and of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
IL i'll 81,
To the book agent this rare combination
OF authentic history, pictorial illustration
and brilliant authorship, will at once suggest
the universal demand it will create, and also
the advantages in interest it has over the
ordinary Campaign book, and the grand
opportunity it offers for profitable agency.
We advertise it in another column.

Ehe Glory OfStHInp Speaker has Departed.
Soon he will be on haud-thc man who
travels around the different townships and
tells the people whom 10 vote for, how to
vote and why to vote. The stump speaker,
as a rule, is a good sort Of fellow, but the
sun Of his glory is setting. His day prac-
tically has gone by. lii this age of advanced
thought and rapid transit, the people have
grown to look for their information in the
newspaper, and the reason that we have no
great orators to-day is because the daily
newspaper covers the ground, doing its work
quicker, better and more satisfactorily to
the great national masses than its illustrious
predecessor, the platform. While the dapper
little attorney from the thriving county seat
shot and political canister, the interested
audience has probably heard all his points
and newer ones through the medium of the
newspaper. And thus It is! The genius of
Clay, Webster and Calhoun is supplanted
by the actively alert and entcrprising news
paper; the telegraph aud printing press are
the mighty warriors that stand ready to forge
the uhundcrholt of the news, political or
otherwise, and the fast mails and transit
service have the arpinted page within
the hands of every voter in the land before
the stump-speaker gets around. But the
maker of stump speeches is, perhaps indis-
pensabe for many reasons. lie is Il cloak, Il
blind mnke-helicye, and as an ornament
to partisan politics he must stay with us to

From Independence.

INDEPENDENCE, Jan. sth.-Miss
Nancy, like all other old maids,
must have her say, so dumped in
while Barbara was frolicking and
told all the news she (Barbara)
had garnered for the New Year,
intending to give in good supply.
Perhaps l can find some things to
say but the cold has been so severe
lately that the gossips, who are
very numerous here, have failed
te meet as usual.
Nancy forgot to mention the
Grand Leap Year Ball, given by
the young ladies at Mrs. Stewards,
which was a success in every re-
spect, and the Leap Year Sociable
at DR.. Cranes, where the young
folks again had a jolly time. Also
a supper given for the benefit of
the Temperance, from which was
realized seventy-ive dollars. l
haven't heard a turkey gobble since.
Altogether we had a merry Christ
mas and it hasn't demoralized the
students, they have quietly settled
down to hard study again. Farm
ers are preparing the soil for crops.
Miss Nancy mentioned two mar
riages to be here soon, we are all
in the dark about it, so concluded
that one must be Miss Nancy her
self.
