ful lines by George William Curtis:
How often in the strange old days,
llcforc tllc war’s summons blew,
Wc strolled through all these woodland ways,
While loud the bluebird sang and flew!
How gayly of ii thousand things
,We talked; and rustling through the leaves,
Wc sang [he songs of other springs,
And dl'callied the dreams of summer 01‘0“!
To this hold llelghtll our footsteps cattle.
Our eyes beheld that distant sen:
To—day I sit and call his name,
And know he will not answer me.
0 friend, beyond this voice of mine,
Beyond these eyes, this bullied hand,
Immortal in a youth divine,
I see thy glorious figure stand.
We do not count each other lost,
Divided though our ways may be;
Two ships by different breezes Lost,
Still sailing the familiar sea.
No cloud of death can long obscure,
Nor touch with any doubt and fear,
Thclove that keeps the old faith pure,
Contented whether there or here. -

TWENTY YEARS AGO.
How wonderR arc the changes, Jim,
Since twent years ago,
When gals Wore woolen dresses, Jim,
And boys wore pants of tow;
‘ W¥n shoes were made of calf-skin
And socks of home-spun wool,
And children did a half-day’s work
Before the hour of school.
The girls took music lessons. Jim,
Upon the spinning wheel,
And practised late and early, Jim,
Oil spindle swift, and reel;
The boys would ride bare-backed to mill,
A do7cn miles or so, '
And hurry off before, ’twas day,
Some twenty years ago.
The people rode to meeting, Jim,
In sleds instead of sleight
The wagous rode as easy. Jim,
As buggies now-a-diiys. ‘
And oxen answered well for teams,
Though now they’d be too slow,
For people lived not half so fast
Some twenty years ago.
0, well do I remember, Jim.
That Wilson's patent stove,
That father bought, and paid for, Jim,
In cloth our gals had wove;
And how the neighbors wondered
When we got the thing: to go!
They said ’twould bust and kill us all,
Some twenty years ago.
.--'Yes, everything is different, Jim,
From what it used to was,
For man was always tampering, Jim,
With God’s great natural laws;
But what on earth we’re coming to—
Does anybody know '2
For everything has changed so much
Since twenty'years ago.
Thc Union Pacific Railroad.
Omaha, Nebraska, May 29th, 1868.
DEAR GAZETTE :—
Coming through Iowa, we passed long
trains of platform cars on the turnouts, let-
tcrcd “U. P. R. R,” loaded with iron“ rails,
ties, &c., and numbered as high as 2,000, and
we began to realize that we were fast ap-
proaching the eastern terminus of the Union
Pnflic Railroad, the great Natioiial Work of
the age. At Council Bluffs a large quantity
of material for construction was accumulat-
ed for transportation across the River to
Omaha, and several locomotives and many
cars were in use conveying freight from one
point to another. 0n the west side of the
Missouri the company own a large tract of
1and,'running along the river for a mile or
more, upon (which they have already built
freight depOts, our houses, round house, etg.,
and constructed a large number of side
tracks to the river. All the locomotives and
the material received from the east now
come over the Chicago and North Western
Railroad, and are ferried across the river to
these tracks,wilh comparatively little troub-
l three years ago, and steam» was first? started
two years ago last January. They now em-

men, including as good mechanics as can be
found anywhere in the country, are employ-
cd in the Works, and the officers point with
pride to tile amount and excellence of the
work executed in these shops. Platform
cars, Box' cars, Cabooses, and even elegant
passenger coaches equal to any in use on
other Bonds are built entirely at these
Works, with the exception of wheels and
axles which are made in the cast. Eigh-
tcon platform cars have been constructed
here in a. week’s time, besides the usual
work on coaches, repairs of engines and roll-
:ing stock. generally, outfits for the entire
-road,&c. ’l‘llc timber for Depots, Bridges,
&c., is gfit out here, and Tool houses, of
large size, are built by the hundred, and ink-
en out on the line of the Road. Some idta
of the work necessary to be done here in :Idi-
tion to the building of cars, in order to keep
_ everything in working order, can be formed
from the fact that between ninety and one
. hundred locOlnotivcs are now in use, and
more are constantly arriving, one hundred
and fifty in all having been ordered. Soon
as these arrive they are put into the Round
House, where some improvements patented
by Mr. Congdon, the master mechanic, are
introduced, and they are then put in running
order.
l The officers of the company have a busi-
' ness office in a two story building, opposite
the International Hotcl,~—prcb.zbiy the most
ancient building in town—which is throng-
cd from morning till night with crowds of
i laborers seeking elliploynlcn‘r, a hundred or
l
I~morc of whom go out on the Road every
night.
5 The gentlemen having charge of the vari-
l ous departments, all practical mechanics,
lcourtcously accompanied us through their
! rooms, and freely gave all (lesircd informa-
[tion We were specially indebted to Mr.
E Congdon, Master Mechanic; Robert McCon-
l ncl,.Gcncral Foreman of the Machinery De-
partment; Messrs. Gambol and Ballou of the
Wood Department; and Mr. Hilton, foreman
of the Round House, for favors and atten-
tion. 4
ON THE ROAD.
At present there is but One daily express
train, each way, on the Road, leaving Oma-'
ha, at 5% o’clock, p. in. (Sundays exceptcd,)
and Cheyenne (Sill-an, as it is pronounced
there‘) for the cast every morning at 6 o clock.
A mixet “ train,—frcightwith passenger car
attached, leaves Omaha for the west every
moring. '
IVC left Omaha, in the express train, Mon-
day afternoon. The train co sisted of a
smoking, baggage, two or lliégpasscnger
cars, and the Pullman Sleepinflrfiin which
our party had secured beflhs,‘ The passen-
gers consisted of ii large numbbrfof laborers
going out to work on the road, "onh'aclors,
an occasional soldier, officers, 25;er women,
excursionists, &c. lVe lif'i'd a fall'éar of very
agreeable travelling companions, consisting
of people who had been cast and were return-
ing to their homes in the fair west, officers
. returning to their regiments, wives of officers
going out for the first tine to join their lins-
bands stationed on till) line or in distant forts,
and travellers going to Denver, Salt Lake or
through to California rid Stage lines from
Cheyenne or Laramie. Among them were
J udgc N. A. Carter, wife, several daughters,
governess, and young children; a physician
from Denver; Baron dc Kusserow, Sec. of the
lc. Before the completion of this road,
(about a year since,) all the rolling stock ;
and material was brought- up the Missouri,
in steamboats, from St. Louis, at. great cx- '
pensc. Now the company have a contract
with the C. &N. W. R. R. for the transporta- .
tion of all the material used on the road,and E
put. their own locomotives and cars on that
line and do the transportation themselves, 3
paying for the use of the track, an arrange- I
nicnt tiiatis highly beneficial to both parties. ,
The construction of a bridge across the Misz;
souri, which is soon to be commenced, will i
still further lesson expenses of transporla- 5

On Saturday afternoon, the day of our ur-
i'ival in Omaha, our party having determin-
ed to wait over Sunday, several of them
wandered down to the depot to witness the
departure of the express ll'iilll “for the i
West,” Iind bid good bye to a party of very
agreeable travelling companions over the 1
North Western Road, who were to go out 3'
on the train that night. The party embraced l

Hampshire to the Chicago Convention, in- 1

One fine looking fellow, “lb/e kind you read

the edge of the car with his bare legs dan-

to meeting any number of the “friendly": race

many stories of illdisui dcprcdalions. cruel-

respondent and a friend were. courteously
mkdl charge of by Mr. ii. M. Hoxie, Ass’t
Superintendent of the Road, and conducted
hastily through the principal Works of the
Company before the hour of closing for the
night. .
We were much surprised at their extent
and completeness ; also, at the large amount
and excellent character of the work turned
out by the company shops. Monday morn-
ingmost of our party availed themselves of
an invitation from MI. Hoxie to visit the
Works, and spent several hours there.

Two warriors and :

as easily pleased as a child, knew the dilfer- .
five cents each, freely exchanged them with :
Prussian chzltion and his companion Victor
dc Broglie of Paris, and a number of ladies
whose presence added much to the 'cnjoy-
mom of the trip. Judge Cart-er has been
stationed at Fort Bridger, Utah Tcrritory,for ,
thirteen years, liasbeld several responsible
positions under Government, and as a farm-
or and trader has evidently prospered and
waxed rich, though not fat and lazy. They
had a good joke on him at ll|(‘ liotclin Omn-
hit, which lie cnjoycd'as much as the rest-of
us. One of the small tables ill the dining hall
was reserved for his family, and Sunday
, morning the long, grey bearded Judge was
quietly pointed out to the occupants of the
other tables as “A lllOl‘Illilll elder from Salt
Lake, with his four wives." Perhaps 1119 ho-
tel clerk believed the story and thought
wives should be expensive luxuries, when
he made out the Judge’s bill next day for
$120 for two days board. To the Judge and
the Doctor especially, were our party indebt-
ed f‘or much inforillution about the country,
, stories of life in the far west, etc.’
T he Baron is the gentleman who recently

in regard to which Sec. Seward has written
I, a letter calling the attention of the Prussian

on the train containing a picture of the duel,
, but the Baron’s portrait was so wretclledly‘
I poor that no one inistruslcd it was intended
; for the good looking gentleman practising

lopcs and prairie dogs.
Leaving the depot we were supprised to

of west, but itsoon curved round the city,
and then run in a perfectly straight line a

al very fine farms, under cultivation, said to
be equal to any in Nebraska. Twelve niiles

Fortunately we had no noisy, self—appointed

—A Mr. Kerr, of Edinburgh, In} invented
a reflector for a locomotive, by the means of
which the engineer is able to see the rear of
his train, the conductor, and all who are
either getting on or off, without moving from
his seat. It can be arranged for any length
of train by simply changing the angle of
reflection. Itlias been tried on the Jeffer-
". sciivillc,lu(l.,road, and pronounced a success

[Conltblzlcdfrmn last twain]
The trotting season of 1865 opened about
tile lst. of June, and was marked by fine
races in all parts of thr- coiintry. In many
of these the horses that have been previous-
ly mentioned were pitted against Dexter,
who mad-2 the year memorable in trotting
records by his surpassing perfunmauccs.
Oil the 3d oi'Juile he beat General Butler;
trotting three beats in 2 m. 26% s., 2 in, 26,14
S2111. 24}; s. This showed a marked im-
provemcnt in his trotting capacity, his best
time in 1864 being 2 in. 30 S. Oil the 12th
he was beaten by Lady Tliorne,who trotted a
mile in this race in 2 ill. 24 s. 011 the 261k
he beat Stonewall Jackson in a three-mile
race, but without making a remarkable rec—
ord. A race with General Butler followed
September 7th, and one with tlic same horse
and George Wilkes, September 2151. Geo.
Wilkes had been previously beaten on the
20th of June by Lady Elnma,———a more in
praise of WIIOSC b'cauty, speed, endurance,
and reliability itiS illlpossiblc to say enough.
The race of' September 21st was 'won by
Dexter, whose claim to the. title “King of the
Turf " was now pretty clearly established.
It received, however, an indorscincnt on the
10th of October, which rendered it indispu-
table. On that day he trotted his great race
against time, on the Fashion Course. In the
presence of all the leading horsemen of the
country, who had assembled to see Flora
Temple forever disposscsed of her place at
the head of the trotting horses of America,
Dexter trotted one mile under the saddle in
2 m. 18 1-5 s. Subsequent to this great feat
he made his appearance on the turf only
twice in this 'year,.—cach time in a race with-
thc indefatigable veteran, General Butler
In the last race Dexter trotted two miles in
4 in. 56/14 S. '
In the latter part of this season there rc-
.liuiins to be mentioned the race in which
General Butlcrbcat George Wilkes and'La-
dy Emma, adding another to his long list of.
splendid victories; aiid‘two races in which
George Wilkes beat Commodore Vanderbilt.
November 16, 1865, the gentlemen of New
York interesttd in horses had the high hon«
or of entertaining General Grant at their
pleasant rendezvous, Dubois‘s Club House,
on Harlem Lane. The Club House is an
open cottage building, situated neartlie road.
“"31 a one-half mile course immediately in
the rear, Through the agency of Mr. Geo.
Wilkes,—during General Grant’s visit to the
city,—tlie owners of most of the fine horses
were informed of the General‘s desire to see
their horfis, and, upon solicitation, be ap-
pointed a day to meet them at Dubois’s Club
House. On the day appointcd’thc're was
such a gathering of trotting horses and horse-
'men as was never equalled. Flora Temple
still living, was there to claim admiration
for the splendid performances of other days;
Dexter, in the height of fame; The Auburn
Horse, of whose great speed every one pres-
ent had caught glimpses; Lady Emma, Lan-
tern, Pccrlcss, George W'ilkcs, General But-
ler, Toronto Chief, Commodore Vanderbilt,
Brunette, Ella Sherwood, Lady Clifton, and
many others. The General, who is a great
lover of the liorsc,w:is highly gratified; and
his discrilniilating remarks indicated his
ability to review an army of horses as well
as an army of men. .
This review showed the strength and rich-
ness of the trotting turf in material for vari-
ous and brilliant displays of speed, and ifi
seasons of 1866 and 1867 these succeeded
each other so rapidly as to lose something
of their former novelty.
Opened early. The reappearance of Dexter
on the 15th of J one was preceded by several
fine races. In one of these, which took place
on the Fashion Course, Rosamond, a dark
chestnut mare by Old Columbus, and Mam-
brino Pilot, in whom the strains Of Messen-
ger and Pilot are united, took part. Main-
brino Pilot, although untrained, won one
heat in 2 ill. 31% s. The other three boats
were won by Rosamond, who trot-ted the
first in 2111.30}; 8. On till- 30th of May,
Shark, :1 really first—class horse, bilt almost
uniformly unsuccessful, bent Lady Emma in
2 m. 23}; s., 2 in. 80 s., and 36 5.; Lady Emma
winning two of the five beats in 2 ll]. 289.1; s.
and 2 m. 26% s.
The antagonist of Dexter, on the 15th of
June, was George M. Patclicn, J12, a son of
George M. Patclien—a horse sixteen and one
half hands high of proportionate size, but
compactly built. and possessing rare ability
as a trotter. He had beaten Commodore
Vanderbilt on the lst of the month,andliigli
hopes were entertained of his power to dis-
pute the supremacy Of' the “King of the
Turf”: but Dexter beat him easily in three
successive llcats. After beating General But-
lei' and Commodore Vanderbilt once more,
Dexter made a tour of the country, trotting
at Philadelphia, Syracuse, Avon Park, Buf-
falo, Cleveland, Hulntrank Course, Chicago,
Milwaukee, Adrian, Kulamuzooo, Pittsburg,
'Baltiliiore, and \Vasliington. He was every
where SilCCCSSful. At Buffalo he beat Rolls.
Golddust; at. Pittsburg, llit‘MugOtizlcl' meer
and George M. Patchcn, .112; and, at Wash-
ington, Silas Rich. ;
October 25, 1866, there .was a race on the
Union] Course, Long Island, between the
celebrated imires Lady ThOrnc and Lady
Emma. J udgcd by the. record, there was
hardly ii choice between them—if anything,
the balance was in favor of Lady Emma;
both represented the best blood and the form
of the trailer in the highest perfection. The
race between them was one which any ani-
ateur in horses desirous of seeing a race be—
tween equals would have suggested, and the
result proved the wisdom and beauty of such
races. Tile first and second heats wcre'won
by Lady Enilna;_and so closely had each
heat been contested that the betting in the
last heat was even. \Vhen this was trotted,
so ilearwcre they together at the score that it
was generally considered a dead heat; but
the judges decided Lady Tilornc the winner
by a head.
The purchase of the beautiful trotting mare
Young Pocahontas by M r. Bonner, for a
very, large sum, was among the interesting
turf items-Of" the year. . Tliismare isa daugh-
ter of Ethan Allen and the pacer Pocahon-
tas. She inheritb‘d the wonderful symmetry
and perfect trotting gait of her sire, and the
power and endurance of her dam. The
great pacing match, in which Pocahontas
distanced llcro, ill 2 in. 17,15 5‘. is in the llicnl-
ory of all vctcrunsof the turf. Young Poca-
hontas was owned for a time in BOS‘IOD, but
caught the attention of Mr. Bonner, who ob-
tained the refusal of her. Nevertheless, she
was sold to other pzlriicsin New York, from
whom Mr. Bonner obtained her by paying
over twenty-five thousand dollars.

—-Thc most remarkable of the many revi-
vals during the season has been at New Al
bony, Ind. New Albany possesses a popula-
tion of 20,000 Protestants. The revival seem-
ed to spring up spontaneously soon after
the week of/praycr in thirteen evangelical
churches. Of these the seven Methodist
churches have admitted about 1000 as prob-a-
tioncrs ;whilc the 3 Presbyterian churches
have received about 400 new members
the Episéopalians and the Lutherans 40 each
and the Christians 70—making 1600 in all.
The whole city has been pervaded by the
dcfpest solcnmity. One attempt was made by
a ashionable family to get up a ball. Many
werejnvitgd, the rooms were gaily decor-
died; a» costlcysupper was prepared; but
there were nb' '; nests, and consequently
there was no dan _ g. The new opra house
