If you are going west bear in mind the following
facts: The Northern Pacific Railroad owns and
operates 9ST miles or 81 per cent of the entire rail-
road inlIeage OF Montana; spans the Territory with
us main line from east to west IS the short line to
Helena the only Pullman and dining-car line to
Butte. and is the only line that reaches Miles City,
Billings, BoZeman, Missoula, the Yellowstone Ma
tlonal Park, and, in fact, ninetenths of the cities
and points of interest in the Territory.
The Northern Pacific owns and operates 62l miles,
or 90 per cent. of the railroad mileage of Washing
ton. its main line extending from the Idaho line via
spokane Falls, Cheney, Sprague, Yakima and
Eiensburg, through the center of the Territory TO
Tacoma and Seattle, and from Tacoma to Portland.
No other through rail line reaches
any portion of Washington Territory. Ten days
siop-over privileges are given on Northern Pacific
second-elass tickets Mt Spokane Falls and all points
west thus aifording intending settlers excellent
opportunity 10 the entire Territory without in-
curing the expense of paying local fares from
point to point.
The Northern Pacific is the shortest route from
ST. Paul 10 Tacoma by 2G7 miles to Seattle by III
spondlnSiy shorter. varying from one to two days,
according TO destination. No other line from st.
Paul or Minneapolis runs through passenger cars
OF any kind into Idaho, Oregon or Washington.
In addition TO being the only rail line TO Spokane
Fails Tacoma and Seattle the Northern Pacific
reaches ali the principal points in Northern Mime
sofa and Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and

Col. MihalOzY,

Comrade G. Kuenster, of the oath H., writes
that having seen an allusion recently in this
paper to Col. Mihalozy, with the statement that
nothing was known about his regiment, says
that be belonged to the 24th H., and the COM
rade incioses a well-written communication to
the WestliChe Post, sent from Turner's Sta
tion, Tenn, March 18, 1865, giving an account
of the impressive funeral ceremonies of Col.
Mihalozy, in which the whole division turned
out to do him honor. His body was buried in
the National Cemetery at Chattanooga. The
sketch says that Col. Geza Mihalozy was born
in Pesth, Hungary, and received a military
education there. He took part in the war for
Hungarian Independence in 1848, '49, and after
the failure of that struggle came to America
and took up his residence in, Chicago. AT the
outbreak of the war he raised a company,
which was the first to leave Chicago, and later
on he helped to organize the oath H., being its
LieutenantColo in November, 1861. Upon
the resignation of Hecker he was made Colo
mel, and commanded the regiment in most OF
its engagements until the time of his death.

the criminals would rather be in Jail than out,

not so with the Chinese prisons I have seen.
Here the prisoners are chained to the wall, and
their hands are often fastened up to their necks
by chains. They are supposed to get two pounds
of rice a day for food but their jailers steal
their provisions from them, and the deaths in
Chinese prisons are many. / am told that in

1t would be like asking to have refined gold
gilded, and unreasonable to expect that more
should have been done by Schenck and Milroy
and their gallant men at the battle of Mellow
ell, especially as Sehenck was aware of the
enemy's great superiority of numbers; but
could Schenck have known the trepidation and
shaky condition his audacity and the gallantry
of his men had produced in Jackson and his
command, and had thrown in his small reserve
and but slightly augmented the pressure in
front at the opportune moment, it is by no
means improbable that Jackson comparatively
great army would have taken panic and been
in fight for Staunton. Nevertheless, even
after night had fallen, the firing continued,
Schenck sending up ammunition by hand in
haversacks; and though the moon was rising
and shining dimly, the enemy could only be
marked by the flashes of their guns, which,
however, did not enable our men to shoot with
accuracy, when Col. Mclean, in immediate
command, believing that nothing further would
be gained by prolonging the contest, and con-
scious that he could retire with honor, the ene-
my not pressing him, he determined to with
draw, and as it was approaching 8 o'clock ac
cordingly gave the order. So all quietly moved
down the mountain, doubtless more to Jack
sons relief than theirs, not leaving a live COM
rade,wounded or unwounded, behind them, and
back to Mcdowell they marched, not so much
as molested by even random shot.

From our standpoint we might say that Com

and more than q 600 vessels visit it yearly tits
the terminus for our Pacific lines of steamships,
and it costs 5000 to go from Hong Kong to San
Francisco. This $500 is paid in silver at the
Hong Kong end, and if coming westward from
San Francisco it has to be paid in gold. The
difference is matter of $50, and it is cheaper
to go home from China than to come out to it.
The great lines of English, French and Ger
man steamers which go through the Isthmus
of Suez all come to Hong Kong, and you can
get mail steamers every week for London or
Paris. This shipping has made Hong Kong
one of the most important places of the East.
England keeps a regiment here, and the island
is governed by English officers. Though the
population is only 100000, and of these num-
bers only 6,000 are whites or foreigners, Eng
land pays its Governor $4,000 a year, or about
three times rs much as we give the Governor
of New York.
The National tribune., 1889-03-28

Speaking Of Nanking, the great porcelain
tower there, which was for years one Of the
wonders Of China, is now destroyed, and the
carrying away of porcelain brick from this
tower IS one of the things Of the past. 1t was
blown up during the TAPPING rebellion, and
the rebels carried it away for fear that its pres
ence would prOpitiate the spirits of their ene-
mics and their rebellion would not be success
full. This tower was about half as high rs the
Washington Monument. 1t had nine stories,
and its facing was of green bricks of fine pOrce-
lain. 1t contained $50 bells and I40 lamps
which the Chinese say lighted the SO heavens
and detected the good and evil among men.
This was perhaps the most noted of the Chinese
pagodas, but these buildings are more wonder
full in picture than in reality. They are found
in every city, and there is a big one on the
banks of the Pearl River, between here and
Canton. 1t is of nine stories. It is round in
shape, and it stands out against the sky like q
great tower. 1t was put up in all probability
to propitiate the spirits of the vicinity, and
this is the object of most of these structures.
The Chinese are among the most superstitious
of people, and notwithstanding their pretense
of being philosophers rather than religionists
they are spiritualists and demon worshipers.
