(PRoM OUR SPECIAL CONSEQUENTLY
From BALTIC. to Kansas City.

On the eve of Feb'Y &c at Top m. in com.
pany with Surt Bride, we boarded our car
the Hellicon at Camden station Baltic. 1t
was our first night on the rail, and we obey
ed Franklin's admonition by retiring early
with the intention of fulfilling the rest Of the
maxim, thereby getting an early view of the
the scenery among the Allegnnies. Our de-
sire TO obtain a good nights rest was soon
frustrated and We were Iudely Weakened by
some one yelling Chester. Chester! and
rushing up and down the aisle Of the car.
In an instant every head was peeping out
Pickwick like through the curtains OF their
berth. The porter took him into custody
and as soon rs he could be awakened, it re-
quircd very little persuasion to induce him
to return to his berth. He was young M.
u. from Wilmington Del. and the regrets of
all were few when he reached his destination
next day. When we awoke next morning it
was raining and our much longcd view of
the Aleganles was obstructcd by clouds Of
mist.
We reached Parkersburg w. Va at eight
O'Clock. Here We halted half All hour for
breakfast The lowering clouds hid the
town from our view. On the track next to our
window were two immense locomotives the
largest ever saw regular giants of the rail.
Leaving Parkersburg we crossed the Ohio
river to Marietta, then on through the fine
farms beyond all of which the dismal wealth
cr gave US Il very limited view indeed. Our
next halt was at Chillicothe for dinner and
then on until we reached Cincinnati Here
we rested two hours. The unceasng rain
kept our acquaintance with the queen city
from becoming too intimate. Ebon Dark.
nj ss had now decendcd fir ,m her throne and
we were ready to spend our s. cond night
on the rail. No somnambulist disturbed our
slumb,rs and the early morning found us
crossing the Mississ. ppi river to St. Louis
over one of the finest bridges of modern
times.
After stopping at st. Louis two hours We
crossed the Missouri river by the Wabash
r. II. Our road runs parallel with the Chi
cago s. Alton for SO miles at a distance of not
more than forty feet. They are both splen'
did roads and strait as line some places for
40 miles. We had fine race with another
passenger train on the G. Il A. They ran
neck and neck about 20 miles but the Wa
bash trotter came out first. The distance
from ST. Louis to Kansas city is 277 miles
1t took us six hours to make the run, nclud.
ing half an hours stop at Montgomery city
for dinner. We again crossed the Missouri
river before reaching Kansas City and the
rain Is still with US.
Yours,
FAHAEDY.

The man who cheats the newspaper
Out Of one single cent,
Will never reach the heavenly land,
Where old Elijah went.
He'll never gain admittance thore,

Outside the gates Of Heaven.

Or see one festive grin:
His only chance Of happiness

VANDALIsM There could he named
about dozen boys in this town, rangi ng in
years from 10 to 10, whose chief amusement
seems to be the defacing and destruction Of
property. They have no regard tor gates or
fences and assume to play on the premises,
including yards gardens, roofs and outbuild-
ings, without thought Of the nuisance they
become, or damage they may do. a paling
fence ON F. Main. list. is the most striking ev.
llence OF their dcviltry. while broken win
dows here and there bear testimony Of their
wan,onncss. We sec them trespassng and
others speak of it in our presence and yet
they proceed upon sufferance and to the cir
cumstance that our people have borne it
without calling them to account must in
measure be charged their open misb"havior.
Some of them know better, all Of them
should be taught better and if some of them
get themselves or their parents into trouble,
it may be broken up.
We do not bclleye that meanness or spite
il the motive: it is simply an inexcusable
boylsh taste for the destruction Of property
that has been growing upon them through
indulgence. Let it be nipped by presenting
bill of damages that will stop it short.
