The recent depression in business has not affected the passenger traffic of the St. Louis. Kansas City & Northern Short Line, as they continue to run six fast express trains, tico more than any other line between the Missouri and Mississippi liivers. This road enjoys great immunity from accidents, by reason of immense expenditures, in the last two years, of over two million dol lars, besides earnings in wonderful im provements, in relaying their line with new steel and iron rails, on broad, new ties, in new lolling stock supplied with all modern appliances for comfort and safety, and as another safeguard, em ploy night and day watchmen to in spect the road before and after the passage of each train, to see that every thing is in order. Conspicuous among new improvements is the substitution for ordinary cars, of new reclining chair coaches, elegantly carpeted and fitted with dressing rooms for ladies, gentlemen and families, witliout any extra vharye. The St. Louis, Kansas City & Northern and the Kansas City, St. Joseph & Council Bluffs liailroad, form the only line running through Pullman Palace Sleepers between Omaha and St. Lnuis. The shortest line between the West and the East is over the St. Louis, Kansas City Northern Short Line, either through St. Louis, the great metropolis of over 450,000 inhabitants, or through Chica go, via the Chicago & Alton Short Line, over the Louisiana Bridge now open for passage of through trains. Ticket Agents of connecting roads sel ling through tickets to the East, North or South, will furnish tickets by this excellent line.

Where tbe'parts are not gone, its effects . are marvellous. It has produced niorecuiesof rheumatism, neu- HtTpcr ralgia, lock-jaw, palsy, sprains, swellings, car-ache, caked-breasts, scalds, burns, salt-rheum, &c, upon the human frame, and of strains, spavin, galls, &c. upon animals in one year than have al other pretended remedies since the world began. It is a counter-irritant, an all-healing pain-reliever. Cripples throw away their crutches, the lame walk, poisonous bites are ren dered harmless, and the wounded are healed without a scar. It is no humbug. The rcciic is selling as no article ever before sold, and it sells because it does just what it pretends to do. Those who now suffer from rheumatism, pain or sw elling deserve to suffer if they will not use Centaur Liniment, more than looo certificates of reinarkablo cures, including frozen limbs, chronic-rheumatism, gout, running tumours, &e. have been received. "We will send a circular containing certificates, the recipe, &c, gratis to to any one requesting it. One bottle of the yel low wrapper Centaur Liniment is worth one hundred dollars for foundered or sweenied hor ses and mules, or for screw-worm in sheep. Stock-ow ners this liniment is worth your at tention. No family should be without Centaur Liniment. J. B. Bosk & Co., New York. 46-ly CA.sToiiiAisinorethan a substitute for Cas tor Oil.
