DEPOT.
Starting from the west door of Jthe
Capitol, at Lincoln, you go directly
west about 1G0 rods to reach the de
pot grounds. The "yard" includes
several acres of land, and will, doubt
less, very srton contain the depot
buildings, engine house, turn-table,
&c. The engine house is already,
nearly completed, and the timbers for
.the turn-table are on thejground fram
ed, awaiting the iron for its comple
tion. Seventy men are now working
in and about the "yard," leveling
track, preparing the grounds for the
several buildings to be erected, Ac,
&o. Quite a village will soon spring
up where, two months ago, Mas noth
ing but bare prairie. But we are on
our way to Nebraska City, and at 7
a. ji. we take our seat in the passen
ger coach, which, bj' the way, al
though not furnished with seats
whoae cushions are covered with
"velvet violet lining," yet they are
comfortable, neat, plain and substan
tial. The train moves eastward, and
we are soon passing the
GOVEUNOIl'S 3I0U3E.
This building is the most costly res
idence in Lincoln. It is built mainly
of red Hand atone and Frear stone,
and cost not far from $2j,G00, and was
furnished at a cost of about $10,000.
It would be worth tiie traveler's
while to visit the Governor's, and go
through his grounds and examine his
dwelling. It is situated on an eleva
tion commonding a view of the city
not excelled at any other point. But
leaving this we notice, at the distance
of about a mile west, what seems to
be some artificial embankment, and
iind on inquiry that it is the debris of
the Luuatic Asylum. About this
time a pleasant faced young man, in
plain grey working suit, passes -thro'
the car collecting the fare. Air. P.
B. McDonald, the Conductor of the
"Accommodation tain," ia an a lia
ble, pleasant, genial gentleman, does
bis work in a quiet, easy way, an
swers all questions as far as he can,
and manifest- an interest in the hap
piness of all his passengers. But we
have gone two miles and are now at
the
PRISON SWITCH.
A little to the south you see a square
yarc. containing, purhaps, ten acies
of land surrounded by a board fence,
made by nailing 12 foot boards up
endwise. At each corner of the yard
is a small round houet placed on top
of the fence, for the guard to go into
during storms, &c. Inside the yard
you see a one story building, built of
red sand stone. This is the prisoner's
home for the present and inside the
enclosure they find plenty of health
ful employment in thp way of stone
cutting; as some of them, like the
silk worm, are undoubtedly preparing
the material for their own tomb. The
impression you receive as you glance
over the locality and its surroundings
is that the site is too low and an in
voluntary chill passes over your frame
and a dull ache twinges through your
bones as you think of .he vantage
ground given to the ague and billions
fevers, and the mind hiistily reviews
agaiu,lhe lessons of the .moral code,
lest by some mischance, in an evil
hour, deeds be performed that would
insure lodgings for a time in that lo
colity. Perhaps, this as a reason,
may have hadhome weight with those
selecting this location that disease
may add its terrors to pievent crime.
One mile further on we saw two
"stransre looking object: make their
appearance, situated about half a mile
apart, some distance south of the rail
road track. We think as we look at
them of that strange hybrid, between
a sleigh and boat, built some years
since to navigate the Mississippi in
the winter by steam, but, that after 'a
short trial, was left on the bank of
the river at Prairie du Chieu, and for
aught we know still remains there.
On inquiry wo find these strange
looking objects to be the celebrated
5-team plows sent from London to
Judge Hilton. "We learned that the
Judge had tested them, until he was
fully satisfied that the old plan was
much the cheapest, although weheard
nocomplaint aooutthe plows as far
us doing good work was concerned;
but they proved too expensive a lux

owned by Rev. Mr. Foggart, who
donated onehIf of it to the railroad
company,
each' taking alternate
blocks. ' The town site is on. rolling
ground inclining to the south, no
where abrupt. It is rapidly building
up and an immense lumber trade, for
so small a point, has already opened.
I was told that Col. W. B. Smith had
sold, within a week, about 140,000
feet, having sold since starting, over
300,000 feet. Latliam &'Perry, of Ne
braska City, have opened a large store
having a stock of gooda worth $10,
000. Several other stores are also dol
ing a good business.
Mr. Garnett has opened a fine ho
tel and is having a good run of cus
tom. Palmyra is the best point on
the road, surrounded, as it is, by a fer
tile country, already well Bettled, It
must go ahead for some time, to come,
lis the country around it demands a
market. We know of no better point
in southern Nebraska for the estab
lishment of a good seminary of learn
ing, and we expect ere long too see
one or more there, in successful oper
ation. Our next stopping place is
UNADILLA.
This is about 30 miles from Lincoln
and is owned by F. A. White, Presi
dent of'the road. The ground rises
rather abruptly in going north from
the railroad and is slightly "bluffy"
in appearance, but south of the track
there is a beautiful piece of bottom
land, compensating for the rough ap
pearance on the north. About one
mile east of the site is said to be a
saH spring, whose brine Is as strong
as that of Lincoln springs. We would
not vouch for this, however, as we
had not time to examine for ourself.
A good Stone Quarry is found here
from which stone is being shipped to
Nebraska City, one train taking four
car" loads.
Here the trains from the City and
Lincoln pass.
No buildings have been erected
here yet, though preparations are be
ing made for the erection of several.
There is a very good site for a Mill
at this point, and we presume at no
distant day will be made useful.
Our next stopping place was
NURSERY HILL.
. Though this name is not found on
the schedule. Here the Stage from
Tecums-eh and Beatrice meet the
train. It is yet an unsettled question
as we learned whether the Company
will erect a depot building at this
plisce or at a point three miles further
east, called
SYRACUSE.
This site is owned by J. B. Bennett
of Nebraska City. It is situated on
Walnut Creek, and like most other
places mentioned the lancl is some
what broken, but one house has yet
been erected here, though we found
several tents.
The railroad here leaves the Nema
ha bottom and pursues its devious
way among the hills.
DENN1SON
Is about eleven miles from Nebras
ka City, and is the last station before
reaching that city. '
It is situated on Wilson Creek, the
site being more level than any otber
point'mentioiied. The traveller would
never suspect it to be a town site from
anything seen there; in fact, this re
mark applies with equal force to eve
ry "station on the road, except
PALMYRA.
But we.must real ember the cars have
been running but a few weeks&no time
has been given to develop towns. Wo
lay no claim to prophetic vision, yet
we feel morally certain that live years
will see great changes along the line
of the Midland Pacific.
The country through which this
road passes is generally undulating.
From Lincoln to Bennett's Station it
is very little settled, much of the Pen
itentiary lands lie along the line of
the road to this point. To say the
soil is fertile is only repeating what
every one who has traveled in Ne
braska already knows. Abundance
of good building stone is found nearly
the whole length of the load, and
timber is as plentiful as in any other
part of the State. The road follows
the Nemaha bottoms from Bennett's
to Walnut Creek and needs but little
grading, occassionally a slight cut is
made, but generally the grading
amounts to nothing. No effort has
been made to shorten the road, but it
winds around the bases of hills
through which it might havepassed
with very little digging ; this makes
the road quite crooked, eventually
however, it will be straightened.
The bridges are all spile-bridges,
not a single truss-bridge on the road.
The deepest cut is about seven
miles west of Nebraska City, it does
not exceed fourteen feet in depth ;
there are three places on the road
where the grade is sixty five feet to
the mile, this is the heaviest grade.
The track is generally qu'teeven, but
there are two places of four miles in
length where you are pretty well sha
ken. The Company have five engines,
four passenger coaches, and about
forty freight and construction cars.
About ono hundred hands are em
ployed at present in the various de
partments of the road.
Four trains pass over the road daily,
the fare is about GJ- cents per mile.
This seems high but when the enor
mdus expense of keeping the road in
good running order, and the value of
the "rolling stock," the ealaries of
tlte agents, conductors, engineers, and
other employees, is considered thoin
cotnajwill bo but a pittance compared
with the out goes.

In relation to the New Departure
"platform he says I am unwilling to
"be nlaced in Huch a position as to jiis
tifv the accusation .of having volun
tarily made an unfriendly criticism
iiipon the action of the Ohio Democ
racy, but as I will have to srteak on
these questions during the pre-ent
canvas, there is, I suppose, no im
propriety in staling my opinion now.
ii the first place, I do not thm'k that
the resolution passed by the Ohio De
mocracy, declaring that those consti
tutional amendments are no longer
political issues before the country,
will have the effect which they ap
pear to have supposed it would. In
stead ot witnurawing mem its sjiio
jecs of political discussion, it will
give them far more prominence than
they ever ha'd heretofore, and thev
will be confronted by them through
out the entire canvass. The only
way in which any question can be
withdrawn from the arena of politi
cal discussion is for both parties to ig
nore it altogether. This can not be
done as to these amendments, be
cause they present leal living issues,
in which the people feel a very deep
interest. They are not dead issues,
and politicians cannot kill them. by
resolution. The Ohio Democrats
seem1 to recognize this, to some ex
tent at least, for they have simply at
tempted to turn the discussion away
from the validity and merits of the
amendments themselves, to the ques
tion of their construction. In this
I think they have made a grevious
mistake. The Democratic party hav
ing at all times protested against the
means by which their final adoption
was secured, is justly entitled to tho
benifit of whatever advantages can
be acquired over the Republican par
ty on account of its fraudulent and
forcible alteration of the Constitu
tion of the country. The circumstan
ces u ider which these wrongs were
perpetrated, instead of justifying or
excusing them, greatly aggravate
them in my opinion.. And there is
not. in my opinion, a Democrat in
Ohio or elsewhere who would delib
erately assert the contrary.
Now, it is true that the construction
of the .amendments is a very impor
tant matter, but it can not po-sibly
be more important than the substance
of the amendments themselves. If
the Democratic party had control of
Federal affairs, with power to decide
what construction should he given to
the amendments, and what legisla
tion should be had under them, they
would be practically much less hurt
ful than they now are. ' Still they are
baied upon a false theory of our orig
inal svstem of government, and if
the other provisions of tho Constitu
tion are to be warped to suit them,
the doctrine of State Rights, in all Rs
length and breadth, will be com
pletely destroyed. Taking the gen
eral terms of the- amendments, and
especially the fourteenth article, with
the construction put upon them by
Congress and the executive, and
there is absolutely no longer any
room for Stategovernments in our
everam JThoro icnnnlnpft for ihem

REJIAIUCjVDIjE tornado.
Singular Plicnnuu-non in Vinson
County, 111 A Whlrlu lud of til--.
The Jacksonville correspondent of
the Springfield Journal gives the fol
lowing particulars of a singular torna
do which passed over a part of Mason
county, 111., on the 2nd inst. :
"'Ihe first trace of the tornado i
found some six miles wv-t of Ma-on
city. On Friday morning, while the
air was intensely hot, and to the west
and south-west ot Mason City eight
clouds were visible, and to the north
west a ram cloud could he seen about
-ix miles away a dark, iuky-hued,
fearful looking cloud or column was
seen by citizens of Mt.son City gath
ered at and near the earth'a s-urface,
about six miles distant, on a wide, ex
tended prairie.
Gradually this terrible looking col
umn increased in breadth and in
heigth, and seemed to be itioin.'
slowly anil directly towards Mason
City. Soon from this great, black,
-moky looking column, the base of
winch rested on the earth, shot up
three distinct and well defined, nar
row and spiro-Iike columns, which
continued io ascend rapidly until
they reached' and seemed toattateh
ihenisehes firmly to a passing cloud
above. The frightful spectacle con
tinued to move eastward, slowly, but
constantly, for some fifteen minutes;
thenVhanged its coarse , slightly to
the southeastward, greatly to the re
lict of the people of Masoii City, who
were expecting to see their beautifu'
tow n torn to pieces by the angry ele
ments. For some fifteen minutes
!onrer the dreadful apparition moved
slowly on, changing its shape, con
siderably us It progressed. In its on
ward course, the two outer spire-like
columns disappeared, leaving the in
er column testing upon the great
base-eloul below, and still attaching
itself to the cloud above. Suddenly
the awful apparition disappeared, as
'if it had been but a vision or dream,
and not a fearful reality. Whilst the
black column was moving, a cold cur
rent of air was most sensibly felt from
its track ; an odor much like that of
burning sulpher was inhaled by sev
eral persons. A gentleman who had,
been a soldier, and very otten m bat
tle, stood but a hundred yards from
the tornado when it pa-sed. He says
that small blazes or flashes of electric
ity We-re constantly visible-in the col
umns from the earth to the cloud
above, and that rapid pop ing, crack
ing reports were heard, reminding
him most forcibly of suy a thousand
infantry in battle, loading and tiring
their muskets as fast as possible.
As fearful as was the appearance of
this dark, black,, smoky column or
columns, resting upon the earth and
reaching to, and taking fa3t hold on
the clouds of heaven, more marvel
ous if possible, was its destructive
work along its track upon the earth.
In its pathway, which is near three
miles in length, and varyingin width
from 20 to 80 feet, not a blade of grass,
not a stall: of com or wheat, not a
shrub not a particle of vegetation
tuas left alive. Hadjthe fires descend
ed from heaven and fallen in the
pathway of this tornado, as it did on
Sodom, the destruction of every liv
ing thing of the vegetable kingdom
could not have been more complete.
For some distant, in its path, the
earth was literally plowed up for six
inches depth. In passing over un
broken prairie at Mason City, and a
mile away inconceivably rapid must
have been the rotary motion of the
wind of the tornado that the earth
was gathered up from about the deep
roots of the prairie grass, and the
grass with it3 bare roots, as clean as
if theyJiad been washed, was lifted
from tne earth and IefC strewn in the
pathway of the storm. Where the
course of a tornado led through a
wheat field, every stalk of wheat
standing in its path was torn down
and twisted in every conceivable
shape ; and where an Osage orange
hedge laid across its path the hedge
bushels were twisted into shreds ; but
the strangest and moat wonderful of
all the strange phenomenon connec-
ted with this tornado is. that the col
unm of wliirling air must have been
iutensely hot, as every leaf, every
blade of grass, stalk, of com or wheat
every green thing in its path -were
literally and totally scorched to death
and dried to a crisp. The prairie
grass along the Btorms track, which
was luxuriantly green before the tor
nado passed,-was Jeft as brown and
dead as It Is found upon the prairies
in mid-winter.-. The.- leaves of the
hedge where the devastating tornado
.parsed acroifciaitstwayM, crumble.
as dotne dcadTJry lefvvca of the.forest
alter the blasting frost has done its
work. The young corn which stood
in its way Is as dead and black as if a
withering, scorchiug fire had passed
througbit.
Another astounding feature of this
tornado was, that while its rotary
motion must have been of unconceiv
able treat velocity, its progressive
motion was the 'slow pace of not
above the rate of six miles an hour.
The outlines of its pathway were so
wdl defined, that v feet from the
outer line of total destruction of vege
tation of every kind, not a ve-tige of
It effects could be seen. In fact, the
outlines of its path of de-truction
were almost as clearly defined as that
of a reaxir or mower's swath through
the nitadow or wheat fiol 1, ami its
work more conilte. Frtniitely
no houe stood in its line of march.
It pas-ed between a farm house and
barn, but e.-caped both, and its on
ward movement was at so slow a pace
that man or beast, if in its way, could
easily escape.
ROYAL RECORDS.
"We clip the following from an ex
change: Queen Victoria completed her fifty
second ear yesterday, as she was
born on'the 24"th of May, IS lt, when
George HI. was king of Great Brit
ain, and so forth, bhe has been on
the thione so long, ever since the
2)th of June, lb37, that it is difficult
to suppose that she is but little be
yond the prime of Hnglish woman
liyod ; but she became a sovereign
w hen she was only a gill, being then
not a month beyond eighteen. She
is older than were many of her pre
dccessois when they died. William
II., (Runts,; btepheu, Richard 1.,
(Cour de Lion,) & J ward 11., Rich
ard II., Heurv IV., Henry V.. Hen
ry VI., Hduard IV., l'Mwa.d V.,
Richard 111., JhMwnrd VI., Mary I.,
Charles L, Mary 11., William HI.,
and Anne, ail died short of the age of
fii'ty-two; and some of them much
short of it. Down to the timo of the
kings of the Hanoverian line, Hng
land had but few long-lived sover
eigns, not one of the number reach
ing to the age of seventy years com
plete, the allotted term of human life,
alter which all is sadness, wherein it
is much like that which precoaded it.
If our nifinor) i- not at fault, Fjliza
beth was the oldest of them all, and
she was more than five months short
of seventy years when she exchanged
her thousands of dresses for the one
robe that conies to all, the shroud.
The first English who was also a
British sovereign who saw his sev
entieth year was George II., who .was
born in 16i3 and. died in 17L0, aged
tjcventy-seven. He was Victoria's
great-great-grandfather. His grand
son and successor, George III., died
in his eighty-second year. William
IV., Victoria's immediate predecess
or, died in his seventy-second year.
These are the only sovereigns of Eng
land, three in all, who reached to
three score years and ten. George I.
died at sixty-seven, and George IV.
at sixty-eight. James II. was close
upon sixty-eight when he was over
taken by death, but he had been a
ba lished mail for almost thirteen
yeais.
In a few days to be precise, twenty-six
day Queen Victoria will have
completed the thirty-fourth year of
her reign. This will make her reign
longer than were the reigns of most
of her predecessors William I.,
William II., Riehard I., John, Ed
ward II., Richaid II., Henry IV.,
Henry V., Edward IV., Edward V.,
Richard III., Henry VII., Edward
VI., Mary I., James I., Charles I.,
Charles II., James II., Mary II., Wil
liam III., Anne, George I., George
II.. George IV., and llliam IV. all
had English rtighs thort of thirty
four years. In one cae, Charles 11.
ought to come into this list, while in
another he should be kept out of it.
hhigiish law dats the beginning of
that mon.uch'a reign from the day on
which his father, Charles I., was ex
ecuted, January 30, 1649; but Eng
lish history, much more sensibly,
dales iffroiii that dav which is called
the "Restoration," May 29, l(x,0,
the first day on which he was king
de facto. In the one case, and fol
lowing law, ho reigned more than
thirty-six jcars, as he died on the (Jth
of February, lb.li"5 ; but in the other
cae, and following history, he did
not reign quite twenty-five years,
Victoria, in fact, has reigned as long
as about two-thirds of her predecess
ors (each) reigned. As she comes of
u tpjerably long-lived race, and is a
healthful person, and hasa calm mind
and a clear conscience, her life may
long continue, and her reign not be
closed even with this nineteenth cen
tury. Should she live to as great age
as her paternal grand. ather (George
III.) reached, she will be in the list
of the sovereign!! of the twentieth cen
tury, though not as a living sovtr
eign for any great length of time.
Should she thus live, and not abdi
cate, the preseut Prince of AValcs
would not become king till he should
be almost sixty 3'ears old. His grand
uncle, George IV., was in his fifty
eighth year whence became king,
but then he had 'been regent some
nine years ;?aii'l William IV., anoth
er of his grand-uncles, was in his sixty-fifth
year when he ascended the
throne.
Of the persons who occupied thrones
when Victoria's reign began almost
all are dtaJ, or in exi'e. Nicholas, of
Russia, Louis Phillippe, of France,
Ferdinand, of Austria, Frederick
William, of Prussia, Charles-John, of
Sweden, Leopold, of Belgium, Wil
liam, of Holland, Ferdinand, of the
Two Sicilies, Louis, of Bavaria, Ma
ria, of Portugul, Sultan Mahmoud,
Pope Gregory, and others, all have
gone beyond that river which every
breathing thing must cro33, without
the aid of bridge, or boat, or baloon.
Don Pedro II., of Brazil, is one of
the few sovereigns of JSJ7 who sur
vive, but he was then a child of elev
en years. Isabella 11., the Spanish
queen, "stil lives," but she does not
reigh, being an exile. .Mr. Van Bu
ren, who was our President in '37, has
been dead for some years. If we look
at the great changes; that have taken
place since Vittoria became queen,
we cannot fail to be struck by their
number, for they include the over
throw of tho papal temporal power,
the conversion of Italy from a num
ber of small countries and foreign de
pendencies into a united kingdom,
the loss of the European leadership
by Rassia, the destruction of the Germanic-
Confederation, the defeat of
Austria by Prussia, the overthrow of
three branches of the House of Bour
bon, the restoration of theBonapartes
in France, the creation of two Faench
Republics, the conquest of France by
the Germans, the fall of Napoleon

Of all the conversationists in thTa
country. I consider Margaret Fuller
to have been the first, the queen of
.simple and genial discourse. Thero
she was lur.-elf. Tht te who heard
her converge still bear testimony to
Iter remarkable power, not only as a
ihmlur. tut as one who couUl mag
netize her whole audience, and lift
them up into a higher sphere, which
is the great merit of couvetsution.
She had the best company which Bos
ton could give for h.r auditors, and
she whs among her peers, certainly,
when Emerson, Henry Thoreau and
many others since beuonie eminent,
were her hearers. There was ono
quality she had which no woman I
ever met possessed tho subtlety of
her thought was surpassing. Sho
liked to deal with the mysteries
which most Americans avoid. Her
power was in her conversation ; and
I belieue that she vta- the first wom
an in this country who invited her
friends to comu and take pnit with
her in discussing such theories as-sho
brought before them. Mythology,
the Greek gods and goddesses,, social
life, anil all those fine topics that wo
.seldom hear discussed, were her de
light. In conveisation she was im
perial, knew her place and kept it.
The way in which she carried her
head was very impressive and lofty.
They say that gods and goddesses aro
known by the manner they carry
their heads, and certainly she car
ried her head like a godde-a. Ono
would say that her face was plain,
that she had no special charms, so far
as her features wero concerned,; but
her chief attraction was in the tout
ensemble f her personality rathtc
than in any special feature', unless,
perhaps, it was the eye. Her eye was
very deep and dark, and although
uotof the dark temperament, she had
of that element, and knew how to
deal with the dark side of life.
She had the peculiar art of discov
ering thvv secret soul of auditors, and
knew how to speak to each person,
blio knew what a question meant,
which is not what every person does;.
It is said that whosoever asks ques
tions classifies himself. Not ouly tho
contents of tho question, but tho
mode of asking it, determine precise
ly to a scholar or thinker where tho
person is in the scale of culture and
education. 1 t-uppose site answered
moro questions than any other person
or as many as any other person of
her times. You find all over tho
country persons who have read her
books, expressing their exceeding ob
ligations to her ; and certainly in
what concerns women he wies tho
first to speak of and wr;to about it.
If tho present company are really in
terested in what really concerns wo
mankind, let them read Margaret
Fullei's "Woman in the Nineteenth
Century." They will there find, I
think, raiwt of tho great questions
better treated than they have been,
treated on any platform. She antici
pated many of them with great
modesty and fineness of discrimina
tion. IS KASOXIIT A RELIGION1. '

The prominent objects of Masonry
are to ameliorate the condition ofi-nf-fering
humanity, to silence discord
and confusion among men, to hamuli
hatred, malice, and envy from the
human heart, and implant justice,
mercy, and benevolence in their
stead. Masonry commands us to- as
sist the feeble, feed the hungry,
clothe the naked, raise the fallen,
protect the widow, and scatter bless
ings on all the race. It promotes ev
ery moral and social virtue; it makes
men better brothers, better husbands,
better fathers, and better citizens, but
it does not claim to make men Chris
