referred to Mr.. Burlingame and that

came much excited, and asked Superin-

discharge, but simply note from the
patrons OF the Washington road in which
they expressed their appreciation of Mr..
Burlingames uniform courtesy, and in
recognition wished TO present him with a
gold watch and chain, which accompanied
the note. Mr.. Burlingame was taken
entirely by surprise, and for a moment
was unable To express his thanks but
after he recovered himself he thanked
those present for the expression of friend
ship, and expressed his intention of max
ing the future proof that the past had
not been bid for popularity.
