The Axis of the Continent.
Boston is sometimes called the hub of
the universe" and has considerable claim,
in an intellectual way. The Rocky noun
tains are alluded to as the backbone of
the continent they are certainly
rugged and hobby enough to constitute
formidable and reliable yertebral col
umn. mo wonder Uncle Sam is so indie
pendent with such backbone). Hthese
are appropriate applications, then we
may rightly call the Mississippi valley the
axis Of North America. In its borders
are the bulk of the people-it is the food
storehouse of the whole country-and
the remainder of the country revolves
about it, dependent upon it for food, for
the great working force, for the political
power. To reach any portion of this
valley above st Louis "The Burlington"
is the natural, the best. the quickest rout
for the traveller, every city in the section
time tables rates, and information, call
on any agent of "The Burlington" or
connecting lines, or write to w. J.C.
Kenyon, Gen. Pass. Agent, c. B. & N. R.
