General Plan of the Monster Excursion to San Francisco—One Cent a Mite— Fifty Thousand Men Expected t» 'J ake

Part—AU the Details Arreted.

An Omaha correspondent, writing under date of 21st inst., says letters have been reoeived at tbe headquarters of the Union Paoiflc Railroad, written to an officer of the Central Pacific from tbe manager of tbe proposed excursion to meet General Grant in San Francisco on his return. It appears from the communications that the movement is sauc

and letters are pouring in from tbe Southern States with assurances that every Congressional district will be represented, not less than two hundred being from New Orleans, and the response from tbe Eastern 8 ates is not less general. Indianapolis, Columbus and other cities are aiso eager for tbe scheme, and will have many representatives. Tbe affair is being worked up by Congressional districts, the chairman of the central committee acting as agent, with county central committeemen as assistants. Tbe latter report in turn to tbe chairman of tbe State Central committee, and they to G. W. McMullen fc Brother, Chicago. The important question of rates, which will determine to a great extent tbe number

pared careful estimates of tbe lowest rate ever before offered excursionists, for the proposed round trip—which is 9100 from the Pacific roads and $20 from tbe Eastern point to Omaha. It is ascertained that the actual expense of carriage for an excursion of the dimen-

law, viz: New Hampshire, Vermont Isions proposed will riot exceed f2 per and Kansas. In these States, the pris-1 capita for 1,200 miles.

oner is sent to the States prison for one year (Vermont two years) prior to execution, when be may be executed on the warrant of the Governor, it being optional with the Governor whether he shall, or Bbali not, issue the warrant.

MAKING A LIVING.

There is a great amount of talk going on as to when young men and women are qualified for marriage and the drift of the talk is against tbe young man. In fact, not much is said of tbe young lady, as if not much would be required of ber. But the young man is expected to be endowed with all tbe virtues, and to be amply qualified for keeping tbe pot boiling. We are willing that society should setup her just demands against the young man, but it might not go amiss if it required something of the young lady who has concluded to enter the matrimonial state. This is the way the Elmira Gazatte looks at the question

TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS A HEAD. It is believed that a rate little more than |5 for the round trip could be secured between eastern points and Omaha, while for the ronnd trip from Omaha to San Francisco $20 will probably be charged, making the railroad fare for the entire trip from any point in tbe oountry about $25, or less than one cent per mile. It is estimated that at this rate not less than 50,000 will make the trip. Correspondence has been opened with the hotels and dining stations along tbe line to secure corres ponding reductions. It is proposed to occupy three weeks in the trip, remain ing one week in San Francisco. Each line of railroad of the standard guage is expacted to furnish coaches lor its own passengers, who will be sent through without change, running at tbe rate of perhaps twenty miles to tbe hour, making stops only for wood and water. The Pacific railroads will pro cure tbe necessary number of addition al locomotives from other lines where hundreds are now lying idle. The strictest measures will be taken to pro tect tbe railroad and to prevent any but bona fide excursionists taking advan tage of tbe reduction of rates. It proposed that the excursion shall be controlled exclusively by a body of managers, to avoid an overwhelming onslaught on public men and officials for passes. Certificates will be issued

any knowledge of the first rudiments of I each excursionist by county committee I men

housekeeping who knows bow to eat bread, but not bow to make it, and whose knowledge of domestic affairs is limited to getting up in time to eat a cold breakfast, is said to have made a good match. Will the female at the Head of tbe class please stand up and tell us why young women should not be just as competent to preside over a household, as the man is to provide for tbe same? Wnen she has answered this question satisfactorily we will go down in our grab bag and get another conundrum for her."

ONLY A CHILD.

What parent who has ever been called to lay a cherished child in the "dark and narrow house," can read tbe following without tbe tenderest emotion It was suggested to the writer by hearing the remark of one who, passing a graveyard, was arrested for a moment by a funeral. 'Tis only a child," said be, and passed on. "Oh! had you ever been a motherbad you nightly pillowed that little velvet bead upon your breast—had you waited for tbe first intelligent glance from those blue eyes—bad you watched its slumbers, traced tbe features of bitn who stole your girlish heart away—had you wept a widow's tears over its unco use to us head—had your desolate, timid heart gained courage, from that little piping voice, to wrestle with the jostling crowd for daily bread—had its loving smiles and prattling words been sweet recompense from such sad expos ure—bad the lonely future been bright ened by the hope of that young arm to lean upon, that bright eye for your guiding star—had you never framed A pain, or known a hope of fear, of which that child was not a part.

THE TRIALS OF DBA UTY. A really beautiful woman tells newspaper writer her experience, which though flattering, is by no meanu satisfactory to herself: "I have no money and no friends, being a widow with sev eral children dependent upon me for their support. I have tried everywhere to get work without success, sud finally determined to go out to service. I went to a servants's registry office, was directed to a place, and found the lady in want of help at home. I was shown into the parlor, and when the lady came in she treated me with tbe greatest politeness. I made known to ber that I was in search of a situation at housework, and asked ber to engage but sbe said I was entirely too refined and regal looking, and that she should never feel comfortable in asking mo to perform many offices about the house which must be done, 'I would take you as a companion,' she continued, 'if it were not for my husband but he is an artist, and such an admirer of beauty, that I doa't want to risk it.'"

Well," said a third lady, who heard the narrative, "I think they were two fools well met."

Perhaps It would be more charitable to say that the employer had an excess of prudence.

The case is really a hard one. This woman is so superatively beautiful, that even gentlemen are afraid to engage her in the ordinary routine of business, lest it should provoke criticism, and women will not have ber about their households for tbe same reason. I don't know but that both are right, yet it is mean of us, nevertheless.

It is a case of "too pretty for anything." Yet it is a real fact that the woman is in danger of starving, because her striking appearance always invites

A WEDDING THREE YEARS OONOKA LED. Staunton (Virginia) Vindicator.

On one of the excursions which left Staunton in Outober, 1876, for the Centennial were two passengers—one a young lady of Rockbridge, whose bright face, as well as her bright minn, bad made her as popular in Staunton society as at home, and another was a young gentleman of Staunton, temporarily residing is Rockbridge, who contemplated shortly removing to tbe Far West. They wGre devoted lovers, and, as the sequel will show, tbe gentleman took such a precaution against the lady changing her mind during bis expected absence as was insurmountable. Stopping in Baltimore a few hour*, the lady and gentleman, alter the iatter bad procured a license, repaired to tbe residence of Rev. Mr. Murkiand, tbe famous Presbyterian minister (tbe lady being a Presbyterian) and were united in wedlock. They then returned to their respective homes, and there the secret was confided to two of the groom's family and a relative in Richmond, tbe lady ranking a confidant of one of her family and a devoted married lady friend. The groom went west to make his fortune, and will in a few days return to claim his wife, who has all along retained her maiden name. Though tbe marriage took placff nearly three years ago, and seven persons knew it, not a word has leaked out, about it until within tbe past week.

The Court—Sit down, sir Mr. Webster's attorney—He is & coward and a liar.

The Court—I tell you to sit down and be quiet. Mr. Webster's attorney—He 5s a coward and a liar.

Tbe Court—If you don't sit down and keep quiet you will be sorry. Mr. Webster's attorney—He is

In tbe subsequent proceedings tbe Court took a hand. It swiftly glided from its seat and placed its powerful grasp upon the coat collar of the attorney for Mr. Webster. There was a momentary void in the understanding of that gentleman. The morning stars began to siag together in his ears, and danced before his confused vision. Then he found himself outside tbe building without any hat, and the dusty zaphyrs were playing through his luxurious moustache. Parties present in the room as innocent spectators aver that tbe feet of tbe attorney for Mr. Webster did not touch the floor after tbe muscles of the hand of the Court had contracted upon his collar. tnv

SO, LET'S ALL LA UGH. Elmira Gazette. A good natured laugh is the key to all breasts. The truth is, that people like to be laughed at in a genial sort of way. If you are making yourself ridiculous you want to be told ot it in a pleasant manner, not sneered at. And it is astonishing how frankly the laughing population can talk without treading on the sensitive toes of their neighbors. Why will people put on long faces when it is much easier and more comfortable to laugh? Tears come to us unsought and unbidden. The wisest art in life is to cultivate smiles, and to find the flowers where others shrink away for fear of thorns."
