From the suggestions we have made we
can hardly conceive it possible for the
Boston people to be so far mistaken as to
prefer the central route to the western.
We know indeed, that great and indie.
fatigable efforts are making by the friends
of the central route TO create preference
in its favor. But this case is a plain
one and we cannot believe that either
the arts, intrgues or misrepres entations
which we are bold to say for few weeks
past have been repeatedly resorted to by
the enemies of the western route will be
able to blind the eyes of the keen-sghted
Boston capitalists to their true interests.

Again. fair estimate of the expense

Again, fair estimate of the expense
of construction throughout the whole
distance cannot fail to be favorable to
the Rutland route. 1t is conceded that
the grades on this route are ten feet
higher than on the Central, yet it is well
known by those who have wound around
among the narrow valleys of the branches
of White river and the serpentine course
of the Onion river that the greater num-
Der of curvatures on the Central route
will at least counterbalance its advan-
tage in grades.
Indeed the survey of the Central route
indicates that even in grading the Rut-
land route will probably have the adj
vantage. From an extract of this sur
vey from a communication in the Boston
Atlas it appears that on this route there
are but forty miles of level, while the
whole distance from Rutland to Burling-
ton, and from the foot of Mount Holly
to the Connecticut must furnish double
that number of miles Of nearly level sur
face. In the article in the Boston Atlas
we find the following statement Of the
grades from the Connecticut river to
Burlington made as we suppose by a
friend of the Central route:

in charge of this patrol that young
Lieut.. Forbush first met Castro's wife
Castro was off on one of his raids and
the woman in charge of the place. For
bush was hardly more than a boy, he
had just been assigned from West
Point, and knew nothing of the coun-
try or the ways of it's inhabitants. He
made his headquarters at Castro's, and
there were reasons why the young wife
smiled on him and made him very
welcome.
Castro knew that he was suspected
by the military authorities, and it was
his plan to hoodwink them by a great
show of servility and friendship. He
smiled in the faces of the officers while
he cursed them under his breath. He
begged them to honor him with their
presence, but would have rather stuck
a knife into their backs. His wife was
acting under orders when she smiled
and flirted with the boy officer and
played love-airs to him on her guitar,
while old Sergeant Brix was growing
and cursing outside. The sergeant had
served for almost twenty years. He
knew the lodges of the outlaws and the
tricks of the half-breeds. He saw and

Several facts are significant to the
student of the Indian problem. The doc
tor was trained as an Indian for near
ly sixteen years. and as a white man
for almost exactly the same time. Be-
ginning without word of the English
language or a civilized conception, he
prepared for college in nine years. The
average white boy, with all his advan-
tages, takes twelve. DR.. Eastman
never attended a government school
and twelve out of the sixteen years of
his school and college life was spent in
leading institutions. for the higher edu-
cation. Neither he nor any of his for

Dr.. Eastman lectures a great deal
about the country, in addition to his
labors, and for many years he has been
engaged in original research in Indian
history and folk lore. His Indian
Boyhood" will be worth reading.
DR.. Woodrow Wilson. recently elect
ed president of Princeton University.
has completed his History of the
American People" upon which he has
spent several years of writing, and the
work will be published within a few
days in a five volume edition. Prof.
Wilson has spared no labor in collect
ing from the original sources all the
material necessary for his work and
the publishers have supplemented his
efforts by obtaining from many diff
fcult sources copies of old prints,
paintings and sketches. One of these is
a portrait of Columbus dated 1870. the
original of which is in the Spanish
government collection at Seville.
Not long ago a curious resemblance
was noted in three short stories BIZ
three different authors: Frank Norris.
Jack London and G. F. Mclean, which
were published about the same time
in three different magazines. In each
story the plot hung on an incident in
Which man. wishing to be rid of an
old dog, ties stick of dynamite to his
tail, lights the fuse and rushes for
cover. The old dog, obediently follows
nus master, scratches at the door and,
being unable to get in. crawls under
the house just as the dynamite ex-
plcdes. Now the most curious thing
about this coincidence of plots is re-
| cent newspaper story from a Pennsyl-
vania mining town to the effect that
one George Mechou tried to get rid of
his NANCY dog in this manner with a
similar result Either the three au-
thors who separately invented the plot
have powers of divination or else the
practice of killing dogs by tying sticks
Of dynamite to their tails is more COM
mon than it should be. Perhaps George
Mechou was not the first man to try
the method in fact. In that case. the
writer's may have heard of the scheme
and decided it was good for a fiction
story. There are a great many authors
nowadays who confess to getting
much of their inspiration from newspa-
per accounts or out of the way events

To be transported from the strife of
