TO THE TEAYELLING PUBLIC. The utility of this book is manifold. It is presented to the Public, owing k the great importance of the Line of Railroads crossing the Continent fix i different points of our extended country, connecting with Steamship Line, crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. The completion of the Union Pacifi- and Central Pacific Railroads, in May, 1869, forming a Through Line oi Travel from Ocean to Ocean, was a bright event, that will be forever remem- bered by the American public. Since that period the Kansas Pacific Railroad,, extending westward to Denver,, Colorado, has been finished, and the Northern Pacific Railroad has been commenced and finished to the Red River of the North, — when completed, to extend from the head of Lake Superior to Puget Sound and Portland, Oregon, — thus affording an International Route from Ocean to Ocean, via the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. The Eastern cities that are mostly interested at this time in these great works and from whence connecting Railroads diverge, are Baltimore, Washington Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Portland; while other cities in thf Valley of the Mississippi and on the shores of the Great Lakes, are alikt benefited. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, Pennsylvania Central Railroad, Erie Rail way of New York, the Boston & Albany and New York Central Railroads and the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, and their connections, form the firs. great links in this Continental Line of Travel, extending from the Atlantic U Chicago and St. Louis, and from thence, crossing the Rocky Mountains to thj Pacific Ocean. The numerous Lines of Steamers running from American ports to Europe on the East, and Asia, on the West, are all duly noticed, together with a Descrip- tion of the principal Sea-ports on the Route Around the World. These speeds modes of communication, in connection with Ocean Lines of Telegraph] form the most important era in the World's history, and will, no doubt, tend U civilize and benefit the whole human family.

It is now forty years since the com- pletion of the first Railroad in the United States, several being projected as early as 1828. To the late Henry S. Tanner, author of a "Description of Canals and Railroads in the United States," published in 1840, we are in- debted for most of the following relia- ble information. . The Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road, the first important line under- taken, was incorporated on the 28th of February, 1827, by the Legislature of Maryland. The work was com- menced on the 4th of July, 1828, and fourteen miles opened for traffic in 1830 ; in 1831 it was extended to Frederick, 62 miles, and in 1832, to the Point of Rocks, 68 miles, being soon thereafter opened to Harper's Ferry, 81 miles from Baltimore. Until 1831 it was operated by horse power. The Pennsylvania Railroad, authorized b}' Act of the Legislature, passed March, 1828, was commenced as a State work. It was divided into two divisions, and known as Phila- delphia and Columbia Railroad, 81 miles in length, and the Alle- ghany Portage Railroad, 36 miles, running from Hollidaysburer to Johns- town, across the Alleghany Mountains. The latter road had several inclined plains, with stationary engines to facili- tate the transportation of freight and passengers, connecting at each termini with the Pennsylvania Canal running between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. In September, 1832, twenty miles of single track was ready for use on the Eastern Division, and in April, 1834, the entire route, from Philadelphia to Columbia, was opened for travel. Total cost of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, $3,754,577. The Alleghany Portage Rail- road, which was considered a great achievement in engineering, attained an altituteof 2,490 ft. above the Atlantic Ocean. It had one tunnel 900 feet in length. This important work was commenced early in 1831, and finished in March, 1834. The Mohawk and Hudson, rim- ing from Albany to Schenectady, 17 miles, was commenced in August, 1830, and completed in 1832, being the first railroad finished to completion in the United States; at each termini was an inclined plane with stationary engines. The Saratoga and Schenectady Railroad was commenced in 1831, and opened July, 1832. Length, 21 miles. The South Carolina Railroad was commenced in 1830, and 62 miles of it finished in 1832. In 1834 it was completed to Hamburg, opposite Au- gusta, Georgia, 136 miles; at the time of* its completion it was the longest railroad in the world, being the first upon which a locomotive engine of American manufacture was used. 92 ACROSS THE CONTINENT. The New York and Harlem Railroad was commenced in 1831, and a portion of it within the City of New York opened the latter part of the same year. The Philadelphia, Germantown AND NORRISTOWN RAILROAD, 6 miles, to Germantown, was opened in 1832. In December a locomotive was put on this road, built by M. W. Baldwin of Philadelphia. The following Adver- tisement was issued, dated December 13, 1832, and inserted in a Philadel- phia paper: — Notice. — The engine with a train of cars, will be run daily, (commencing this day,) when the weather is fair. When the weather is not fair, the horses will draw the cars. Passengers are requested to be punctual at the hours of starting. Points of starting are at Green and Ninth streets, and from the Main street, the centre of Germantown, near Wunder's Hotel. Whole cars may be taken. Tickets, 25 cents. The Camden and Amboy Rail- road was commenced in 1831, and 14 miles, extending from Bordentown to Hightstown, was completed in 1832. It was finished from Camden to South Amboy, 62 miles, in 1834, there con- necting with Steamers running to the City of New York. The New Jersey Ralroad was commenced in 1832, and completed to New Brunswick, 31 miles, in 1834. The Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad, 28 miles, was completed in 1833. The New Castle and French- town Railroad, connecting the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, was completed in 1832. The Washington Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, 31 miles in length, was opened in 1835. The Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad was opened from Richmond to Fredericksburg, Va., in 1837 ; and, in 1838, the Rich- mond and Petersburg Railroad was completed. The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, 98 miles, was opened its whole length in 1838, — with other roads forming a through line of Railroad from New York to Washington. The Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, 162 miles in length, was opened in 1840; and, in 1843, the Petersburg and Roanoke Rail- road was finished, forming a continu- ous line of Railroad from the Potomac, at Acquia Creek, to Wilmington, N.C., and by Steamer to Washington, D. C. The Western Railroad of Massa- chusetts, now known as the Boston and Albany Railroad, 200 miles in length, was opened from Boston to Albany, N. Y. in 1841. The Boston and Worcester Railroad formed a part of this line of travel, extending from Boston to Worcester, 45 miles. In 1842 the important lines of Rail- road, under different names, extending from Albany to Buffalo, 298 miles, was completed, afterwards being consoli- dated under the name of the New York Central Railroad. The completion of this great work, afford- ing a through line of Railroad from Boston to Buffalo, was an event of great magnitude in the Railway his- tory of the country. COMMENCEMENT OF RAILROADS. 93 The Philadelphia and Heading Railroad, extending from Philadel- phia to the Schuylkill coal fields, was opened in 1842, being soon followed by other Railroads throughout the coal region of Pennsylvania. At this time (1842) there was about 4,000 miles of Railroad finished in the United States ; after that period the growth gradually increased for the next eight years; in 1850 there being nearly 10,000 miles of Railroad com- pleted. In 18G0 there was about 20, 000 miles completed. For four years the increase was small, owing to the breaking out of the rebellion, but since its close, in 1865, the increase has been very rapid, there being in 1872 up- wards of 60,000 miles finished and in operation. RAILROAD STATISTICS. The Annual figures in regard to Railway con- struction throughout the United States have been made up, and show a total of 54,435 miles constructed in 1870. The average cost per mile of new road was $40,000. The following Table shows the distribution of mileage and cost of Railroads in the several States and Territories: — LENGTH IN MILES.

The Great Trunk Kail ways of the United States and Canada, with their Connections, which are made subser- vient to foreign commerce, flowing from Europe on the East and Asia on the West, diverge from the principal At- lantic ports lying within the Tempe- rate Zone, and extend across the Con- tinent to the Pacific Ocean. Other important Lines of Railway run from North to South, forming altogether a complete net- work system of Railroads, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Baltimore, Norfolk, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Portland, are the principal sea-ports from which the above Great Lines of commerce diverge and run Westward. East of the Alle- ghany Mountains there are now fin- ished" five principal Trunk Railways, connecting with other Lines of Rail- road running to the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes. The Baltimore and Ohio Ra ilroad, with its Branches, forms the first Great Line that is finished — running from tide-waters at Baltimore and Washington to the Ohio River — there connecting with Railroads tra- versing the Valley of the Mississippi and the basin of the Great Lakes. In additiA to its terminus at Wheeling, West Virginia, 379 miles west of Bal- timore, it has a Branch running to Parkersburg, West Virginia, and an- other from" Cumberland, Maryland to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, running over the Alleghany Mountains, — thus mak- ing three important connections with western Railroad Lines running to the Mississippi River, there connecting with the Great Lines of Travel running through Kansas and Nebraska to the Pacific Ocean. The Pennsylvania Cen- tral Railroad forms the second Great Line crossing the Alleghany Mountains, uniting at Pittsburgh, 354 miles from Philadelphia, with the Pitts- burgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis R. R., and all the Trunk Lines of Railways in the Valley of the Mississippi, and those extending westward across the Conti- nent. This Road connects with the Northern Central Railway, starting from Baltimore, and with the "Allentown Line," leaving New York by the Cen- tral New Jersey Railroad, — both uniting at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, — thus forming three Great Lines of Travel from the sea-board, in addition to its con- nection with the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad,, — which forms, in part, an im- portant Line of Travel from Philadel- phia and New York to Erie, Pennsyl- vania, — there connecting with Steamers running to the different ports on Lake Erie and the Upper Lakes. The Erie Railway, with its Branches, is the third Trunk Line, forming a Through Route of Travel from the sea-board to the basin of the Great Lakes and the Valley of the Mis- sissippi. It starts from Jersey City, op- posite New York, and runs through the State of New Jersey and Southern New York to Dunkirk, on Lake Erie, 460 miles, while Branches diverge to Rochester, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, &c. The continuation of this Great Line RAILWAY SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES. 95 of Travel, via the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, being under one con- trol, forms a speedy mode of convey- ance from New York to Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio,— connecting with other .Railroads running to Chicago, St. Louis, &c. The New York and Oswego Midland Railroad, now ap- proaching completion, will form an- other Through Line of Travel from the City of New York to the Great Lakes, having a double terminus, — one at Os- wego, on Lake Ontario, and another at Buffalo, on Lake Erie, — forming the shortest route to the basin of the Great Lakes and the Valley of the St. Law- rence Kiver. The Hudson River «fc New York Central Railroad, in connection with the Boston and Al- bany Railroad is the fourth Trunk Line extending from the sea-board ; forming in part a Through Route of Travel from the Atlantic to the PacificOcean. ThisimportantRailroad Route, starting from New York, passes up the Valley of the Hudson to Al- bany, and from thence through West- ern New York to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, there connecting with the Lake Shore Railroad, and with the Great Western Railuay of Canada, making close connections with Lines of Rail- road running to Chicago, St. Louis, &c. The Great Line of Travel from Boston, westward, unites at Albany with the New York Central Railroad, and other Railroads crossing the State of New York, extending to the Lakes and Canada. The Grand Trunk Rail- way of Canada, forming the fifth Trunk Line, controls the Line of Travel running from Portland, Maine to the Canada Line. It extends to Quebec on the Lower St. Lawrence, on the North, and to Montreal, Toronto and Detroit, Michigan, on the West, con- necting with all the Main Lines of Travel running to Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, &c. This important Rail- way, with its Branches, is the great artery that furnishes Canada with a speedy mode of conveyance from the Atlantic and Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Great Lakes and Valley of the Mis- sissippi, — thus forming an international thoroughfare, passing through a deeply interesting section of the Country. The sixth Trunk Line, approaching completion, is the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, running from Richmond, Virginia, across the Alleghany Mountains to the Ohio River, there connecting with Railroads running through the Valley of the Mis- sissippi, forming a short Line of Travel from Norfolk, on the sea-board, to Cin- cinnati, Louisville, Memphis and St. Louis, and from thence to the Pacific Ocean. The Great Trunk Railways running West of the Mississippi, and crossing the Rocky Mountains, are the Union Pacific Railroad and the Central Pacific Railroad, forming a com- bined line of 1,914 miles of Road, ex- tending from Omaha to San Francisco. For further description, see page 100. The Kansas Pacific, and the Den- ver Pacific Railroads, 744 miles in length, unite with the above Great Line at Cheyenne, Wyoming Terri- tory, thus affording, in part, two Routes of Travel across the Continent, making close connections with all the Great Lines of Travel in the A" alley of the Mississippi. 96 ACROSS THE CONTINENT. - The Central Pacific Railroad which extends from San Francisco to Ogden, Utah, 881 miles, with its Branches, now has 1,025 miles of Road in operation, and 500 miles in course of construction, — covering nearly the whole Railroad system of the Pa- cific States. The California and Oregon Railway is finished from the Junc- tion of the Central Pacific to Chico, California, 96 miles, and will extend North to the Oregon State Line, there to unite with the Oregon and California Railroad, to extend further North to the Columbia River. On the completion of the South- ern Pacific Railroad, running from a point west of the Mississippi River and extending through the States of Arkansas, Texas, Arizona and California to the Pacific Ocean, there will be formed a great channel of commerce that will benefit all the Southern States and Territories. The Northern Pacific Rail- road, now in progress of construc- tion, when finished, will form the third Great Line of Travel crossing the Rocky Mountains, extending from Lake Superior and the Mississippi River to the Columbia River and Puget Sound. For further description, see page 105. Toledo, Wabash and Western Railroad.— This im- portant Railroad starting at Toledo, Ohio, crosses the States of Indiana and Illinois and reaches out to Iowa and Missouri, — forming the most direct Route from Lake Erie to the Missis- sippi River, and from there to the Pa- cific Ocean. The Main Line runs from Toledo to Quincy, 111., a distance of 476 miles. The comple thi St. Louis Branch of tne auove Rail- way, now enables this Company to run their own trains direct from Toledo to St. Louis, a distance of 432 miles ; and in connection with the Lake Shore Railroad and the New York Central Railroad, forms a direct Through Route from Boston and New York to St. Louis, &c. The Toledo, Wabash and Western Railroad now has four important ter- mini on the Mississippi, — Quincy, Hannibal, St. Louis and Keokuk. The new Bridge across the River at Keokuk affords direct uninterrupted connec- tion, via the Des Moines Valley Rail- road, with the Iowa System of Rail- roads, and thence to Omaha and the West. The termini at Quincy and Han- nibal furnishes a direct Route to Kan- sas and Colorado ; and the South ter- minus, at St. Louis, facilitates for com- peting with other Eastern Lines for the travel and trade of the great business centre of the Mississippi, — forming in connection with Lake Erie and the St. Lawrence River a direct communica- tion with the European ports. Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.— This im- portant Railway runs from Chicago in a southwesterly direction to the Missis- sippi River, having a double termini, — one at Burlington, Iowa, and another at Quincy, Illinois. At the former ter- minus it connects with the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, and at the latter with the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, — thus furnishing two great Routes of Travel from Chicago to the Missouri River; there connecting with the great Through Routes of Travel to Colorado, Utah, California, &c. The Main Line extends from Chi- RAILWAY SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES. 97 cago to Qnincy, 263 miles ; the Bur- lington Branch, from Galesburg to Bur- lington, Iowa, 43 miles; the Peoria Branch, from Galesburg to Peoria, 111., 53 miles; the Rushville Branch, from Fuda to Rushville, 110 miles; the New Boston Branch, from Galva to New- Boston, 51 miles ; the Carthage Branch, from Burlington to Mendon, 111., 57 miles; the Keokuk Branch, from Bur- lington to Keokuk, Iowa, 43 miles; connecting with the Des Moines Val- ley Railroad. "At Burlington and Quincy there are iron bridges over the Mississippi River, which enable Through Trains to run, without change of cars, from Chicago to Council Bluffs, Iowa, over the Bur- lington and Missouri River Railroad, and to Kansas City, St. Joseph, &c, over the Hannibal and St. Joseph Rail- road. Burlington and Missouri River Railroad.— This Road running from the Mississippi River to the Missouri River, opposite Omaha, Nebraska, forms the third Great Line of Travel running across the State of Iowa, connecting with the Union Pa- cific Railroad, forming a Through Line of Travel to Colorado, Utah and Cali- fornia. The Nebraska City Branch, 50 miles in length, terminates on the Missouri River, opposite Nebraska City ; and the Nebraska Division extends from Plattsmouth to Lincoln, Neb., 55 miles. This Line will be extended to Fort Kearny, situated on the north bank of the Platte River, making a short con- nection with the Union Pacific Rail- road. In connection with the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad it will form a direct Line of Travel from Chicago to San Francisco. Chicago and Northwest- ern Railway.— This Great Rail- way, with its Branches, leaves Chicago by three Lines of Railroad, running West, Northwest and North — passing through the States of Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. Lines of Railroad owned and opera- ted by this Company, are as follows: — Galena Division. — Chicago to Clinton, Iowa, 138 miles; Junction, 30 miles west of Chicago to Freeport, 111., 91 miles; Elgin, 42 miles North- west of Chicago to Richmond, 111., 33 miles. Iowa Division. — Clinton to Mis- souri River, opposite Omaha, 354 miles. Wisconsin Division. — Chicago to Fort Howard, Wis., 242 Miles; Rock- ford, 111. to Kenosha, Wis., 72 miles. Madison Division. — Belvidere, 111. to Madison, Wis., 68 miles. Milwaukee Division. — Chicago to Milwaukee, Wis., 85 miles. Peninsula Division. — Escanaba to Negaunee, Mich., 68 miles, forming a Through Line of Travel to Lake Su- perior. The Winona and St. Peter Railroad, 126 miles in length, running from Wi- nona to St. Peter, Minn., is owned and operated by the above Company, form- ing a Through Line of Travel to Minne- apolis and St. Paul. Total length of Road, owned and operated, about 1,300 miles. $i^ The Trains on this Road con- nect with Steamers on the Missis- sippi River on the West, and with Green Bay and Lake Superior on the North. Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad.— This great Line of Travel forming in part a direct Through Line of Railroad from the At- 98 ACROSS THE CONTINENT, lantic to the Pacific Ocean, runs west- wardly from Chicago to Rock Island, 111., there crossing the Mississippi River, hy a substantial bridge, to Daven- port, Iowa. From Davenport thisRoad is extended, westward, across the State of Iowa to the Missouri River, oppo- site Omaha, Neb., 494 miles from Chi- cago, there connecting with the Union Pacific Railroad, — thus forming a direct Through Railroad Route from Chicago to San Francisco, — a total distance of 2,408 miles. The Peoria Branch Railroad runs from Bureau to Peoria, 111., 46 miles. The Southwestern Branch, finished from Wilton to Ashland, Iowa, 94 miles, when completed will extend to Leaven- worth, Kansas, crossing the State of Iowa and the Northwestern part of Missouri, thus forming another Line of Travel from Chicago to the Missouri River, connecting with all the Great Lines of Travel running through Kan- sas to Denver, Santa Fe, &c. Pacific Railroad (or Missou- ri.) — This Road runs from St. Louis, westward, to Kansas City and the State Line, 284 miles, connecting with the Kansas Pacific Railroad; then north- ward to Leavenworth and Atchison, Kansas, 46 miles further. It is an old, well built, and well managed Railroad, offering both safety and comfort to the travelling public. Being on a medium parallel of latitude, (the 39th south of the Missouri River,) and forming a prin- cipal connecting link between the East and extreme West, great numbers are constantly passing over it, and the amount of passenger business done by this Road is much greater than by any other Railway of the same length west of the Mississippi. Through the Main Line of this Rail- road, its Branches 1 e and Lexingtt tern Missouri and Kansas, immense quantities of produce flow into the St. Louis market from Missouri, Kansas and Colorado; and merchandise of great value is sent out from the same market to supply the wants of two or three millions of people. " It may be interesting to the trav- eller to know that the average speed on most of the Railroads of Missouri does not exceed twenty miles to the hour. If he is travelling on an express or mail train west of the Mississippi, he can approximate very closely to the time by dividing the distance in miles by twenty; the result will show the hours very nearly." North Missouri Railroad. — This Road extends from St. Louis to Kansas City on the west, 272 miles, and to Ottumwa, Iowa, on the north, 132 miles from Moberly Junction, con- necting with the Des Moines Valley Railroad. At Centralia, 121 miles North of St. Louis, commences the Boone County and Jefferson City Rail- road, extending to Columbia, 22 miles. At R. and L. Junction on the Western Division, the St. Louis and St. Joseph Railroad intersects the Main Line, be- ing operated by this Company. This important Line of Travel runs through a rich section of country, and connects with the Kansas Pacific Rail- road at Kansas City and with the Kan- sas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs Railroad, at Harlem, one mile east of Kansas City, and at St. Joseph, 70 miles north of Kansas City, running to opposite Omaha, Neb. ; another Branch Railroad is being constructed from Brunswick, Mo. direct to Omaha, 188 miles. When completed, this Road RAILWAY SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES. 99 in connection with others, will afford a direct communication with Western Iowa, Nebraska, and Dakota, thereby sucuring a portion of the growing trade of the upper Missouri River to St. Louis. The whole number of miles of Railroad under the management of this Company is over five hundred. Atlantic and Pacific Rail- road, (formerly South Pacific.)— This important Road, running from St. Louis across the State of Missouri, was commenced several years since, but suffered from a multitude of delays during its early organization. It is now completed to the Missouri State Line, 330 miles from St. Louis, and has become one of the great thorough- fares of the Southwest. The Line of the Road is for the most part, through a beautiful section of country, with a fruitful soil, and climate as genial as that of Italy. The Company have a charter for a Road from Springfield, Mo. to San Fran- cisco, crossing the Continent near the 35th parallel, which is considered by many as the shortest and most desira- ble as to grade, running through a fer- tile country rich in agricultural or mineral productions its entire length, and free from all climatic obstruc- tions — hence in many important re- spects the most desirable of any Route built or projected. It will run through the Indian Territory, New Mexico, Arizona and California to the Pacific Coast. A Branch Road is being built to ex- tend from Pierce City, Mo. to Van Buren, Arkansas; a distance of 125 miles. The Land Grant at the disposal of this Company is very large and valu- able. Kansas Pacific Railroad. — Copied from "Tracy's Glide to the Great West." This important Road, 038 miles in length, traverses the entire State of Kansas from east to west, a distance of 420 miles, and pushes on into Colorado, until it reaches Denver, and there assuming the name of Denver Pacific, goes on a hundred and six miles to Cheyenne, Wyoming, con- necting with "the Union Pacific PmIU road, thus forming a Through Line of Travel from Missouri and Kansas to Colorado, California, &c. No other agency has done so much towards making Kansas what she is as the above Railroad. The present business over the Road is enormous. The cattle business alone is very great, and constantly increasing. Kansas is rapidly becoming the great source of cattle supply for the east. A long the whole Line, towns are constantly spring- ing up, and soon become thriving seats of trade. The Kansas Pacific has put its immense land grant into market, on the most favourable terms. Perhaps in the near future, the great Kansas Pacific Railway may be the chief thoroughfare across the Conti- nent. Already the Rocky Mountains are within its iron grasp, and should it decide to branch at Kit Carson, and sweep along the 35th parallel, its loco- motives will soon be whistling a wel- come to the Pacific Coast, — even now, with its present connection by Denver and Cheyenne, with the Union Pacific, a great share of the travel and traffic across the Continent, will undoubtedly take this Route. Passing through the beautiful valley, and over the rich prairies of Kansas, with the newly opened farms on every side, that por- tion of the trip is made delightful, and as the western border of the State is 100 ACROSS THE CONTIN approached, exciting, by the vast herds of Buffalo and Antelope thronging along the track. After leaving Kansas, the Railroad passes almost due west through Colorado to Denver, skirting the edges of the noted Pine Ridges. Along its path through Colorado im- mense coal fields exists, some of the veins being fourteen feet in thickness. Kansas City, the western termi- nus of the Missouri Pacific and North Missouri Railroad from St. Louis, and the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad connecting with Chicago and Toledo, is the point where trains are made up every day for the long Eoute to San Francisco, via Denver and Cheyenne. But the Kansas Pacific has another terminus at Leavenworth City, one of the largest and most prosperous and beautiful cities in Kansas. This Road connects with the Main Line at Lawrence, another important station, where the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston Railroad unites with the former. "The Kansas Pacific Railroad was formerly opened to the travel and business of the country on the 1st of September, 1870. The time from Kan- sas City to Denver is thirty-six hours. Tourists and pleasure-seekers will find this a preferable Route, as they will have an opportunity to see the rich and productive Valleys of the Kansas and Smoky Hill Eivers, and the grand mountain scenery between Denver and Cheyenne." Running Southward from Denver, the Denver and Rio Grande Rail- way is being built to connect this sys- tem of Roads with the arable and gra- zing Valleys of Southern Colorado, and the great mineral deposits of the tribu- taries of the Arkansas, the Pecos, and the Rio Grande. Th tanceof bO innes from Denver, reaches, at the foot of Pikes Peak, the cele- brated Soda Springs of the " Boiling River," which are already largely re- sorted to for their medicinal virtues. Here the mineral and grazing dis- tricts of the South Park have their outlet. Passing southward, 130 miles from Denver, it touches the town of Pueblo with 1500 inhabitants, and then Canon City with its rich coal mines ; thence into the Rio Grande Valley through the vast possessions of the United States Freehold Land and Emigration Company, which are being settled by General Burnside and friends, and near the rich Maxwell Land Co.'s property, — one gold mine of which is netting $120,000 per year to its pro- prietors. Passing through Santa Fe with some 6,000 people, and Albuquerque with about 4,000 inhabitants, it will be ex- tended through the line of towns along the Rio Grande, between rich silver, gold and copper districts to the Mexi- can line, and the celebrated silver dis- tricts of Chihuahua. Union Pacific Railroad. — The completion of the Union Paci- fic Railroad, extending from Omaha, Nebraska, to Ogden, Utah, a distance of 1,032 miles, and the Central Pacific Railroad, 881 miles in length, forming a Through Line of Travel across the Continent, was a bright event that will forever be remembered with delight by the American public. From Ocean to Ocean the most direct Route passes through thirteen States and Territo- ries of the Union, this being the main artery of the System of Railroads in the United States, from which extend RAILWAY SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES. 101 Branches reaching every part of our extended country. The construction of the Road was commenced in December, 18G3; but no considerable amount of work was done till the commencement of 1865, owing to the difficulties that arose in the location of the Line. In 1865 over 100 miles were graded and bridged, and rails laid upon 40 miles. In 1866, 265 miles of Eoad were completed ; in 1867, 245 miles; in 1868, 350 miles. The Road was completed to a junction with the Central Pacific Railroad of California on the 10th of May, 1869, which event was duly celebrated by the united Companies at Promontory, Utah. The last tie was made of lau- rel wood, finely inlaid with gold and silver, while the spikes were composed of precious metals and iron. The Route for the eastern portion of the Line, starting from Omaha, is up the Valley of the Platte, which has a course nearly due east from the base of the Rocky Mountains. Till these are reached, this Valley presents, pro- bably, the most favorable Line ever adopted for such a work for an equal distance. It is not only nearly straight, but its slope is very nearly uniform towards the Missouri River, at the rate of about 10 feet to the mile. The soil on the greater part of the Line forms an admirable road bed, while but few bridges are required until the North Platte is reached. The base of the mountains is as- sumed to be at Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, 516 miles from the Missouri River. This point is elevated 6,040 feet above the sea, and 5,074 feet above Omaha. From Cheyenne to the sum- mit of the mountains at Sherman, which is elevated 8,242 feet above the sea, the distance is 32 miles. The grades for reaching this summit do not exceed 80 feet to the mile. The elevation of the vast plain from which the Rocky Mountains rise is so great that these summits, when they are reached, present no obstacles so formi- dable as those offered by the Alleghany ranges to several Lines of Railroads which cross them before descending into the Valley of the Mississippi. After crossing the Eastern Crest of the mountains, the Line traverses an elevated plateau for about 400 miles to the Western Crest of the mountains, which forms the eastern, rim of the Salt Lake Basin, and which has an elevation of 7,500 feet above the sea. Upon this elevated table is. a succes- sion of extensive plains, which present great facilities for the construction of the Road. From Ogden, westward, runs the Central Pacific Railroad. St. Paul and Sioux City Railroad. — This Road runs south- west from St. Paul, through the Min- nesota Valley to Mankato, and Sioux City on the Missouri River, a distance of 276 miles, where it connects with the Sioux City and Columbus Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad, now being constructed. When finished, this Line of Road in connection with the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad, will form a Railroad Route 100 miles shorter to Duluth, on Lake Superior, than to Chicago, on Lake Michigan. This is one of the most important Lines of Railroad* that crosses the fertile State of Minnesota on account of its relations with the Union Pacific Rail- road and Lake Superior. Shipments can be made, via Lake, River and Canal transportation, by this Route, to Canada and all the northern sea-ports of the United States. RAILWAY SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES. 103 St. Paul and Pacific Rail- road, consolidated with the NORTH- ERN Pacific Railroad, November 25, 1870, consists of two divisions, — the Main Line, or First Division ex- tends from St. Paul to Breckinridge, Minnesota, 216 miles, with the right to extend the Line from Breckinridge, on the Ked River of the North, to the boundary line between the United States and British America. The Second Division extends from St. Paul to Watab, Minnesota, a dis- tance of 80 miles, and will extend northwesterly on the west side of the Mississippi Kiver, connecting with the Main Line of the Northern Pacific Railroad west of Crow Wing, and ex- tend on to the British border at Pem- bina, on the Bed Elver, to the 49th parallel of latitude, — thus securing the carrying trade of British America. The purchased Lines have liberal land grants through the richest parts of Minnesota, which accrue to the Northern Pacific Kailroad Company, and the completion of all the Lines will give the Northern Pacific Com- pany nearly nine hundred miles of Koad in the State. [Northern Pacific Rail- road. — The Act of Congress dona- ting lands for this Road, prescribes that it shall be laid north of the 45th par- allel of north latitude. Its termini are at Duluth, Minnesota, at the head of Lake Superior, and a point, not yet designated, on Puget Sound, with a Branch Road terminating at Portland, Oregon. The charter, as amended, authorizes the Company to construct a Branch Road, starting from "some convenient point" on the Trunk lane, across the Rocky Mountains, to Portland, and a Branch from Portland, northward, to the terminus on Puget Sound. These two Branch Roads are given (by amended charter) the same proportionate land grant as the Main Line, namely, 25,600 acres, per lineal mile of Road, through the Territories, and 12,800 acres, per lineal mile, through the organized States. The Main Branch Road will leavetheTrunk Line somewhere near the junction of the Yellow Stone and Missouri Rivers, following up the valley of the former stream, through Deer Lodge Pass, and then down the Snake and Columbia Rivers to Portland, Oregon. Estimated length, of Main Line, connecting the navigation of the Great Lakes with the commerce of the Pa- cific Ocean, 1,775 miles; probable length of Trunk Line and Branches, 2,300 miles. The total amount of land to which the Northern Pacific Rail- road is entitled, by its grant, is about sixty million acres, almost entirely fertile, with a salubrious climate, being capa- ble of sustaining a dense population. The Winter months are comparatively mild, with but a small fall of snow, while the Summer months are warm and favorable for the growth of the cereals, grasses, and vegetables of al- most every variety. " The lands are within the parallels of latitude which in Europe and Asia embrace the most enlightened, crea- tive, conquering and progressive popu- lations. They lie within the climatic conditions of'the isothermal lines of mean annual temperature, (50° to 52° Fahr.,) which mark on the Pacific Coast in latitude 47° north the mild- ness of the climate of the Chesapeake Bay, on the Atlantic side in lati- tude 38°, and which give to the re- gion of this Railroad between the Red River of the North and the Pacific a 104 ACROSS THE CONTINENT. milder atmosphere, (at the same alti- tude) than is to be found anywhere else at the same distance from thf Equator, except upon the western coast of Europe." By the purchase of the St. Paul and Pacific Kailroad, the Northern Pacific Railroad controls the entire Railroad traffic in the "New Northwest," and connects with the Railways of Wiscon- sin and Illinois, as well with the navi- gable waters of the Mississippi River and Lake Superior. The work was begun in July, 1870, on the eastern portion of the Line, and the money provided, by the sale to stockholders of some six millions of the Company's bonds, to build and equip the Road from Lake Superior across Minnesota to the Red River of the North, 252 miles. This important Division of the road is now completed and running to Moorhead, situated on the east bank of the Red River, from whenceStages and Steamers convey pas- sengers to Pembina and Fort Garry, Manitoba. The Dakota Division, 200 miles in length, extending westward to the Missouri River will be completed in July, 1872. The work on the Western Division, commencing at Puget Sound, is. in rapid progress of construction. The road is also being built between the Columbia River and Puget Sound.

The great improvements made in the modes and convenience of travel during the past few years have quite surprised every one, and not least those who have been accustomed to pas- senger transportation both by land and sea. A traveller or business man who, a few years ago, went to San Francisco, Japan, China or India, or made the circuit of the globe, arranged his af- fairs with the expectation that at least a year or two of his life was required to make the journey by land and water. To-day he can start from New York or London, transact important busi- ness, and enjoy the pleasures of travel, returning to his home, if desired, with- in the period of three months ; during which time he is in communication with the chief centres of business by telegraph and steam post-routes. The opening of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railways in May, 1869, — bringing the Atlantic sea-ports of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore within less than a week's comfortable journey of San Francisco, on the Pacific coast, 3,300 miles distant, — was an event that has changed the Koute of Travel Around the World. Arrangements have been made in London and New York with the vari- ous Railway and Steamship Compa- nies interested, for a complete system of Coupon Excursion Tickets, fur- nished with which, a few pounds in cash to cover incidental expenses, the traveller can make the circuit of the World, not only with ease and com- fort, with the privilege of breaking and renewing the journey when and where he pleases, but also with a measure of protection and attention from agents and officials, en route, not usually accorded to ordinary passen- gers on "Ocean Highways." On the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad, extenuing from Lake Superior to Puget Sound, another Through Route will be afforded the travelling public. This great line of travel will run through the States and Territories of Minnesota, Dakota, Mon- tana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington, -—a total distance of about 1,800 miles. It will form a favorite Route Across the Continent, and lessen the time Around the World. Then the great artery of commerce will flow through the Gulf and River St. Lawrence, via the Great Lakes to Puget Sound — crossing the North Pacific Ocean and Sea of Okhotsk, then enter the mouth of the Amoor River, running into the interior of Asia, — connecting with Overland Routes of Travel to China and Russia, and to European cities by Railroads, finished or in progress of construction. 113 114 AKOUND THE WORLD. The City of New York, the metropolis of the United States, the greatest commercial emporium in the New World, and the third in point of wealth and population in the Cities of Christendom, is situated on the south- ern extremity of Manhattan Island, at the junction of the Hudson and East Rivers, eighteen miles from the Atlan- tic Ocean, in Lat. 40° 42' N. ; Long. 74° 00' W. Mean Annual Temp. 51° Fahr. Population ahout 1,000,000. The Bay and Harbor of New York are its greatest attraction, in a com- mercial point of view. Here Ocean Steamers and coastwise vessels can ap- proach, with safety, at all times of the year. From this favored port a fleet of about 150 Steamships, owned by twelve different companies, sail to and from European ports, affording every desired accommodation for passengers and freight. There are now four Great Trunk Lines of Railroad, running from New York to the Valley of the Mississippi and the Great Lakes, connecting with the Trans-Continental Lines — forming a speedy mode of conveyance Across the Continent of America to the shores of the Pacific Ocean. These facilities, combined, affords New York advan- tages, which no other city on the globe possesses, as a commercial emporium. Those intending a journey Around the World, starting from the Atlantic sea-board, would naturally proceed westward, via Chicago or St. Louis, and from thence to San Francisco, — returning via the East Indies and the Suez Canal, to Paris or London, — thence from Liverpool to New York, or some other American port. This extended trip can be made with com- fort- in ninety davs, at an expense of about $1,200, in gold. NSW YORK TO CHICAGO, ST. LOUIS, &c. There is a choice of three Lines of Railway from New York to Chicago, direct, — the distance being about 900 miles ; viz., Pennsylvania Central, the Erie Railway, and the Hudson River & New York Central. Usual through time, 30 hours. Chicago, which is the largest city of Illinois, and an important mart of commerce, is favorably situated on the south-western shore of Lake Michi- gan, from whence Railroads diverge to every point of the compass; while the Lake navigation affords a cheap transit to the Eastern markets. Lat. 41° 52' N., Long. 81° 47' W. Mean Annual Temp. 47° Fahr. Population, about 300,00Q. The great fire of Octo- ber 9, 1871, will long be remembered as the greatest calamity that has oc- curred in modern times. While the business of the city has been deranged, the Railroads are all in good order, prepared to accommodate passengers and freight-traffic. The principal Ho- tels are the Sherman House, the Tre- mont House, and the Briggg House, — new houses under old names — the former buildings having been de- stroyed. St. !Lotlig<, 280 miles south of Chicago, and 1,088 miles west of New York, can be reached via the Pennsyl- vania Railroad, or the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. From thence passen- gers for San Francisco can be conveyed by the Kansas Pacific Route, or by the North 3Iissouri Railroad, to Omaha, OMAHA — CHEYENNE — SALT LAKE CITY. 115 and then over the Union Pacific Bail- road. From Chicago to Omaha, 496 miles, the trains run over three par- allel lines, — the Chicago & North- western Railroad, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, and the Oiicago, Burlington & Missouri River Rail- road, terminating at Council Bluffs, Iowa. At Omaha, on the Missouri River, commences the Union Pacific Railroad. Its extreme length, in con- nection with the Central Pacific, being 1,913 miles; or, from New York to San Francisco, 2,310 miles, by most direct route. Omaha, Nebraska, is favorably situated on the west bank of the Mis- souri River, and is a place of growing importance. Here has recently been erected a magnificent Railroad Bridge, extending across the stream to Coun- cil Bluffs, Iowa, which forms the present terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad. Proceeding westward from Omaha the Railroad extends along the north bank of the Platte River to near the western bounds of the State of Ne- braska — there being a gradual rise of land until the base of the Rocky Mountains is reached. Cheyenne, Wyoming, 516 miles west of Omaha and 106 miles north of Denver, Colorado, is the first station of importance, being elevated 6,000 feet above the ocean. A Rail- road runs to Denver, connecting with the Kansas Pacific Railway, forming, in part, a Through Route to St. Louis, 910 miles distant. The traveller by either of the above routes, if crossing the Continent, can witness the mag- nificent scenery of the Rocky Moun- tains, the Sierra Nevada Range, and Mountain Passes, through the stupen- dous natural walls of the Echo and Weber Canons, — forming together the most varied and attractive scenery in the world. At Ogden, Utah, passengers can stop and visit the valley of the Great Salt Lake, taking the Branch Railroad, 38 miles in length. Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah, where is congregated the Mor- mon settlement, is well worthy of a visit. The chief object of interest is the Tabernacle, capable of containing 8,000 people. Lat. 40° W N., Long. 112° W. Altitude, 4,350 feet above the ocean. Mean Annual Temp. 53° Fahr. Great Salt Lake is over 100 miles long by 40 wide. Several islands rise from its briny surface, some of them to a great altitude. The view from the eastern slope of the Promon- tory Mountains is truly sublime, with the Wahsatch Mountains in the dis- tance. Leaving Ogden, on resuming the journey, the passenger proceeds by the Central Pacific Railway to Sacramento and San Francisco.' "If the Union Pacific is a wonderful work, what terms must be used to describe the 'Central?' As an achievement of en- gineering skill, it surpasses any thing on this continent, and competes suc- cessfully with any work of the same kind in Europe." The highest alti- tude attained is the pass at the summit of the Sierras, 7,042 feet above the ocean. The highest altitude on the " Union Pacific' 1 is at Sherman, 33 miles west of Cheyenne, through the pass of the Rocky "Mountains, elevated 8,242 feet. From this point westward to near Ogden, the track of the Railroad is elevated over 6,000 feet above the 116 AROUND THE WORLD. ocean, here presenting great obstacles to travel during the winter months, by the accumulation of snow. (For altitudes, &c, See page 112.) If the line of this road had been carried up the North Fork of the Platte Kiver to Fort Laramie, and thence to the South Pass, elevated about 6,000 feet, a safe route, no doubt, could have been found free from obstruction in winter. San Francisco, the great com- mercial emporium of the Pacific Coast, with a population of 150,000 souls, has had a marvellous growth within the past twentv-five years.

The future of this favored city it is hard to predict, when the rich products of Japan, China, the Polynesian Islands, and Australia all centre here, to be trans- ported eastward to the Atlantic ports of America and to Europe. The pro- ducts of California alone are immense — her precious minerals, grain and fruits are a source of great wealth, enriching trade and commerce to a large extent. Lines of Steamers run from San Francisco to Portland, Oregon, and to Puget Sound ; also, coastwise, along Southern California to San Diego, and from thence along the Mexican coast and coast of Central America to Panama, connecting with Ocean Steamers running from Aspin- wall to the city of New York. The Pacific Mail Line of Ocean Steamers, running to Japan and China direct, and the United States, New Zea- land and Australia Line, to the Sand- wich Islands, New Zealand and Austra- lia, afibrd ample opportunities to visit all parts of Asia and the Polynesian Islands of the Pacific. A western course is pursued in sailing from San Francisco to Japan and China, while a south-western direction is followed in going to the Sandwich Islands and Australia.

It is situated on a small island, called Manzanilla, in a low and un- healthy position. It is the terminus of the Panama Railroad, to which it owes its existence. The Railway Sta- tion is at the extremity of the island ; it first passes through a dense tropical forest, crosses the Chagres River upon a handsome iron bridge at Barbacoas, and, continuing through magnificent scenery, cuts at last through huge granite cliffs, beyond which the beauti- ful Valley of Paraiso lies, and both the Ocean and the City of Panama come in view. This road, 50 miles in length, greatly shortens the route of the traveller from Europe to the west coast of North and South America. Several lines of Steamers arrive and depart from this port. Panama, a famous city and sea- port of New Granada, on the Pacific, is situated on the south coast of the Isthmus of Panama, at the head of a bay of the same name; Lat. 8° 57' N.,_ Long. 79° 3(K W. ; connected by Railway with Aspinwall, on the Carib- bean Sea.

It is encircled by some irregular and not very strong fortifications. The houses are partly built of wood, but many are of stone, and the largest ones have patios or court-yards, in the old Spanish style. There is a fine Cathedral, built about two centuries ago. The roadstead is one of the finest in the world. There are a number of islands a short dis- tance from the main-land, which afford anchorage for ships of any burthen. Lines of Ocean Steamers run from Panama to ports in Central America, Mexico and California, on the North ; also to ports on the coast of Ecuador, Peru and Chili, on the South.

Mean Annual Temp. 72° Fahr. Population, about 300,000. The main body of the city is distant about two miles from the river, and is situated at the entrance of that immense plain, composed of alluvial soil, which here suddenly spreads out from the Nile, and com- prehends the whole of lower Egypt. The public buildings, pyramids, and objects of interest surrounding the city are numerous. The inhabitants of Cairo are composed of a great many different races ; the most numerous are the Arabs, who constitute the great body of the people. The diseases of Cairo arc common to all Lower Egypt. The most unhealthy season is the latter part of April and the whole of May, when the Kamasia winds blow; but the plague is the most fatal to the natives; it generally rages once in every four or five years, and continues only during the winter season. The Europeans, however, are seldom at- tacked. The city is well worthy of a visit, and usually healthy in winter. Port Said, a sea-port of Lower Egypt, in the Mediterranean, at the entrance of the Suez Canal, 30 miles S. S. E. of Damietta, in Lat. 32° 19/ N., Long. 34° 22' E. Mean Annual Temp. 70° Fahr. Population, 15,000. This port had only a few huts ten years ago, and is now a thriving town. It is regularly laid out in squares and streets, and there are churches, mosques and hospitals, the ensemble being that of a lively sea-port. The Steamers of the Austrian Lloyd's run between Port Said and Constanti- nople. Those of the Messageries Im- perials leave Marseilles for Port Said every ten days. British Steamers also run to this port. Alexandria, a sea-port and fa- mous city of Egypt, distant about 130 miles by rail from Cairo, in Lat. 31° 11 / N., Long. 29° 5 / E. Mean An- nual Temp. 70° Fahr. Population, 200,000. The new city of Alexandria is in every way uneastern in its ap- pearance, the European element having nearly completely submerged every remnant of ancient and local tradition. Were it not for Pompey's Pillar and Cleopatra's Needle, still standing — monuments of earlier ages — the travel- ler would imagine himself landed in some French or Italian city. The great square is surrounded by hand- some houses, the residences of the European consular bodies and mer- cantile community. The native por- tion of the city is, like that of all eastern cities, dirty and dingy. Steamers of all maritime nations run to and from Alexandria, passing through the Mediterranean to different ports. Distance to Marseilles, about 2,000 miles ; to Southampton, England, 3,000 miles. Brindisi, is an important sea- port on the south-east coast of Italy, on the Railway from Trani to Lecce, and the Gulf of Taranto. It lies in the same Lat., 40° 40' N., on the east coast, or heel, of Italy, as Naples does opposite to it on the west coast, or instep, of the peninsula. Long. 18° 2 / E. Mean Annual Temp. 60° Fahr. Population, 15,000. Being only three days steaming to Alexandria, this port promises to become the connecting 124 AROUND THE WORLD. port for travellers between Europe and Asia. The Railway from Ancona to Lecce enables the traveller to reach London within three days ; while, via the Mont Cenis Tunnel, the trip can be made in little more than 48 hours. The geographical position of the port of Brindisi makes it a convenient place of call for vessels trading in the Adriatic, and it is the only safe harbor of refuge on this coast. Travellers may avoid the examina- tion of their luggage by having it plombe and registered for the frontier town to which they are bound.

French and Eng- lish Steamers run from Marseilles to different ports on the Mediterranean, and direct to French and English ports on the Atlantic Ocean, as well as to the United States. Athens, Constantinople, Rome, Naples, and other historic cities on the shores of the Mediterranean can be visited ; also, Malta, Sicily, and other islands of interest, together with Continental cities, &c.' For further in- formation see European Guide Books. On arriving at Pakis or London, after making a circuit of the globe, the European traveller may be said to have finished his journey, while the American traveller has a choice of Steamship Lines to proceed direct to New York, or other ports, from which Steamers run to and from Europe.

This Company has contracted with Messrs. Cramp & Sons, Kensington, for the construction of four Ocean Steamers of about 3,000 tons each, to be finished during the present year (1872.) The names of the Steamers are as follows :— Pennsylvania, to be completed September 1, 1872. Ohio, " " November 1, 1872. Indiana, » " December 1, 1872. Illinois, " " January 1, 1873. These Steamships, when completed, will not be surpassed by any now afloat for comfort and magnificence. The cabins and state-rooms will have all the appointments, &c, of first-class hotels, while the Steerage, which is to accom- modate more than 800 passengers, will be fitted up with every convenience. Herman J. Lombaert, President. Edmund Smith, Secretary. 130 AROUND THE WORLD. OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION BETWEEN LIVERPOOL, QUEBEC & MONTREAL. The Canadian Steam Naviga- tion Company, chartered in May, 1853, was the first Company to com- mence running a regular line of Steam- ers from Great Britain to Quebec and Montreal. Although the regular trips were to commence in 1854, the " Genova," of 350 tons, was dispatched from Liver- pool, and arrived in May 1853. She was succeeded by the " Lady Eglinton" (335 tons,) which made two trips. In 1854 the Company put the Steam- ers Charity, Sarah Sands, Ottawa, and Cleopatra on the route, and five trips were made to Montreal. Fourteen more trips were made during the sea- son, but the vessels came only to Quebec. In 1855, the British Government being very much in need of vessels for the transport of troops and ammuni- tions of war to the Crimea, these Steam- ers were, with the consent of the Cana- dian Government, chartered for that purpose, and no Steamers arrived. Thereupon the well-known firm of Messrs. Edmonstone, Allan & Co., (now Messrs. H. & A. Allan, of Montreal, Messrs. Allan, Rae & Co., of Quebec, with branch firms in Liverpool, Glas- glow and London,) tendered for and obtained the Government contract for carrying the mails, at first fortnightly and afterwards weekly. These Steamers commenced their regular trips in 1856 ; the following vessels being placed on the route: — the Canadian*, North American, Indian and Anglo-Saxon. They made thirteen voyages during the season to Montreal and Quebec. The same ships ran during the season 1857 ; three voyages being made to Montreal and eleven to Quebec. The Steamer Canadian was lost on her first voyage from Liverpool. In 1858, the Mail Line comprised the North American, Anglo-Saxon, Indian, Nova-Scotian, and the North Briton. They made their fortnightly trips with great regularity. In 1859, a new contract — still in exis- tence — was made with the Government by the Messrs. Allan, and the mails were carried weekly between Liverpool and Montreal. The vessels employed were the Anglo Saxon, North Britain, North American, Nova-Scotian, Indian*, and Hungarian*. They made twenty- eight passages between the ports during the season. In this year the "Anchor Line" was organized in Glasgow, and a line of Steamers placed on the route be- tween that port and Montreal. It con- tinued to run for six years. The Uni- ted Kingdom and John Bell of this line made monthly^trips during the season. In 1860 the Mail Line comprised the Anglo-Saxon*, Nova-Scotian, North American, North Britain*, Bohemian*, Canadian, No. 2* Palestine, Melita, and Jura*, making twenty-nine voya- ges during the season. In 1861 the* Hibernian and Norwegian* were added to the Mail Line; also, the Messrs. Allan's started their "Glasgow Line," with two new vessels, the St. Andrew and the St. George. In 1869, the "London Steamship Line" consisting of the Steamers, Da- cia, Cleopatraf, and Medway, commenced running to Montreal. The Niger, Sev- ern, and Thames have since been added to this line. — D.

The Great Western Telegraph Company is announced with a capital of £1,350,000, in 67,500 shares of £20 each, of which 45,000 are offered for subscription to the public. We are informed that the Company has been formed to connect New York with England, and to connect the West Indies directly both with New York and England, without in either case the intervention of any system of land lines. In fact, the line will be laid from as convenient a line as possible near the Land's End, Cornwall, Eng- land, to the Island of Bermuda, from which there will be branch lines north and south to New York and St. Thomas in the West Indies, for the latter of which a short cable will without diffi- culty give the shortest route to Brazil, and at the same time place that im- portant Empire in direct communica- tion both with the United States and England. A working agreement has been made between the Great Northern Telegraph Company of Europe and this Company, which secures to the latter the traffic from Denmark, Nor- way, Sweden, Russia, China and Japan ; passing over the lines of the Great Northern Telegraph Company, and intended for America; and, further, it has been arranged that when that Company establishes its projected North Atlantic Line, a joint purse agreement, on an equitable basis, shall be made with this Company, with reference to North American traffic, which will give this Company the important vantage of a duplicate between Eng- land and America. One recommenda- tion of the Company to public support will be found in the fact that, it is intended to reduce the charge for the transmission of ordinary messages be- tween England and America to one- half the present rate, or £1 for every ten words, and to adopt a similar sys- tem for messages to the West Indies ; while the co-operative or mutual sys- tem is to be brought into play, by giving a discount to shareholders, hold- ing not less than 100 shares, of 10 per cent, on all messages sent by them. A contract has been entered into for the making and laying the cables for £1,- 330,000, of which amount the contrac- tors or their connections are to take one- third in the shares of the Company. — London Morning Post, April, 1872. 133 TELEGRAPH COMPANIES HAVING OFFICES IJX THE CITY OF NEW YORK, Anglo-American, 88 Liberty St. Principal Offices, London, England.
