AmerIca's IIIustrious Families.

There are few old families in the United
States that maintain their high intellectual
standard, from generation to generation.
and a still smaller number from century ia
century. The only family that has come
down 10 us from the days of the revolution
is the Adams family, which has given Us
two presidents, John. the head of the fami-
ly, and his son, John Quincy; and Charles
Francis. third son of the laSt-named. was
al one time very prominently named for
the chief magistracy. Then we have the
sons of the last-named, and we may say of
the Adamses now living. that they are fully
equal. in ability, to the elder Adamses.
They have gone into business rather than
politics or craftsmanship, but they fully
maintain the standard.
The Beecher family has been remarkable
for the genius of its members. Henry Ward
has been (but is not now the greatest pul-
pit orator of his time. and Mrs. Stowe
wrote the most famous book that America
has produced. but there are no young
Beechers that are equal TO the veteran
father, old DIR. Lyman Beecher, who was
one of the strongest and best men in
America half a century ago. Among them
are men Of ability and learning-pre-
eminently sO-bUt what ought TO be said
in connection with this, is that they do not
50 loom above all their contemporaries as
did the Beechers of the first and second
generations.
The Washburns are famous family.

The president of council has done well
i'm proposing a conference here between the
city council and the representatives of the
several railway companies which are 10
eally interested here, at which shall be
considered a proposition for erecting a
union passenger station. into which all the
trains of all the lines shall run, and from
which they shall depart, thereby reducing
the number Of railway stations from three
10 one and greatly reducing the area Of val
liable space in the center of the city now
covered with railway buildings and tracks.
The proposition also embraces measures for
taking the freight houses and yards out of
the center of the city and locating them
where there is ample room and where the
operations of the companies will not inter
fere with our street traffic. We need a
union passenger house. not only for the
convenience of those who come and 90 by
rail. but for the relief of our business
thOr0ughfares, and the efficiency of the
railway companies, in delivering freight
a well as the convenience of shippers and
merchants, would be greatly promoted by
removing freight houses and their tracks,
switches, etc. TO localities where the man
ayers would have room enough in which to
do their work well. We are glad that the
council approves the suggestion of Presi-
dent Thomas. and we hope the movement
will be pushed promptly.
