the artisan with numerous other pic
turesque adjuncts, makes it charm
ing resort, both for those who are
bowed with years or erect with youth.
The season of 81 already promises to
be the most brilliant and the New
York Central road and its liberal po-
Icy will contribute much to that re.
suit.
From Missouri, the route that
serves best is from St. Louis via the
Wabash to Detroit, Michigan Central
to Suspension Bridge, where the
traveller will strike the Central road,
which leads to this Venice of America.
1 met drummer, one of those typ
ical commercial tourists on the Cen
trail road, who travels from Arizona
to Maine. He was laxative fellow
and formerly travelled out of st.
Louis. He says he met Frank Cray
croft, formerly of Sedalia in the Pan
handle country of Texas last winter.
He said Frank is a cowboy and has
changed much since be last saw him
some six or seven years ago. He
described his general appearance as
much more gray and his form consid-
erably bent. In his conversation
with Frank he did not allude to
events that had occurred in Sedalia,
but did not speak very pleasantly
and encouragingly of his present occu-
patton. Very truly "the way of the
transgressor is hard"
THURSDAY, MAY %.
Walking along Broadway to-day l
met a tall, erect, dignified young man
who accosted me in familiar terms.
1t was Lieut.. Geo. w. Burr, of the
United States Army, formerly of Sc
dalia. He is stationed at Fort Ham
ilton, near New York. He received
an injury the day of Sherman's fun.
eral in New York, by his horse fall
ing on him and hurting his left
ankle. He limps little yet, but is
improving. George makes a fine
soldier and says he is ready to take
tilt at the "Dagos" if they insist on
scrapping with the greatest country
and nation that exists where the sun
shines and church spires point toward
the sky.
This afternoon / took the limited
train on the Pennsylvania road for
the west. 1t left New York at 2
O'Clock, and ran to Philadelphia, "a dis
lance of ninety miles without stop
ping. It had a good load of western
people-ladies and gentlemen whose
homes were scattered from Ohio to
California, including the usual bridal
tourists en- route to Hot Springs,
Arkansas. The Pullman dining car
served dinner before the train reached
Philadelphia.
As / entered the Pullman sleeper
at Jersey City, an elderly couple were
also getting on board. A party of
several young ladies and gentlemen
attended them to the car and
showered rice on their persons, which
is said to be a superstition that good
luck will follow them and that the
newly married will live in harmony,
and no other man or woman will inter-
fere with their domestic bliss. 1t was
the wedding tour of a widower and a
back number maiden, or perhaps a
widow.

Vandalia line. 1t is peerless route,

'allasted double tracks, make it very
desirable line"
