| A RIGHTEOUS ORDER:-Some three years
ago the management of the Burlington is
sued circular frOwning upon the everlasting
custom of giving presents to retiring officials

the observance, and MIR. g. w. Holdrege has
just issued the following circular bearing up
on the subject: "The receiving of presents
from their subordinates, by officials and 9TH
ers in charge of men, is very Objectionable
on this road. A little reflection will convince

toward such presents feel constrained to do

those in charge to contribute toward any OBJ
ject-whether charitable, religious or any
