National Encampment, G. A. R.

Au elegant and very tasteful circular, bearing on the corner the tinie-honored badge of the G. A. R. in bronze and colors, comes to us (rom the Michigan Cen tral, "The Niágara Falla Route." It presente to the veterans all the necessary information about the various attraetiye routes it offers to the national encampment at Portland, Me., June 24, and is of uuusual public interost. The ïnduoement to an easteru trip, conibiiiiiig a visit to old friends, and attendauce upon the largest and most notable military reunion sil ice the war, are irresistible. Members of the Q. A . R. and W. R. U., their families, and such bands and other organizations as may accompany them, can purchase of the Michigan Central, at the lowost ratea, round trip tickets to Portland and return, good for thirty days, and with the privilege of stopping over on the return trip. The flrst route takes them right through in about fort y one bours via Niágara Falta, Buffalo, Albany and Boston, and will be taken by the commander-in-chief and staff, whose special train will leave Chicago, Toledo and Detroit on the 20th. This route has the advantage of the tinest views of Niágara from the train, the grand scenery of the Berkshire mountains, Hnd the historie city of Boston. The secbnd route takes them through the wild, wonderful scenery of Canada by the new line of the Canadian Pacific, via Ottawa, to Montreal, thence past Memphremagog and other lovely New England lakes, by the only line running through the heart of the White Mountains to Portland. The third route described takes them by the brink of Niágara Falls and over the great cantilever bridge, through the rich fields of western New York, by the bewildering beauties of the Thousaiul Islands, down the rapids of the St. Lawrence to Moutreal, and then through the White mountains by Fabyan's and the Notch, past the very feet of Washington, Adama and the other giant peaks of the Presiden tial range. A special train will rui by this route and a special steamer chartered. The Michigan Central justly claims that no other line offers comparable attractions, greater comforts orlcwer rates. It is first and foremost " The Niágara Falls Route." From the cars of no other road is a good view of the Falls obtainable; whilethe Portland and Ogdensburg is the only line passing through the heart of the White Mountain región, no other running within sixteen miles of Mount Washington. A beautiful engraving of Niágara Falls with the Michigan Central train stopping at Falls View, and a clear, well executed map showing in color the different routes accompany the circular. We presume that any Michigan Central agent can supply a copy, but a postal card to O. W. Rnggles at Chicago will undoubtedly procure one.
