By consolidation and construction, a road has been put into operation on the shortest possible line from Nashville, Tenn., to St. Louis, "the future great City of the world." This line, the ST. LOUIS & SOUTHEASTERN RAIL WAY, has, during the past year, earned an envia ble reputation by its smooth track, prompt time, sure connections, and the magnifi cence of its passenger equipment.- Its trains are made up of new and commodious day cars, provided with the celebrated Mil ler coupler and platform, and the Westing hou&e air-brake. It is possitively the only line mining Pullman Palace Drawing-Boom Sleeping Cars through without change irom Nash ville to St. Louis. No other fine pretends to offer such adviutageB, either in distance, time. r '.quipmfdit. Why, then, journey by eireuitoua routes? Do not be induced to purchase tickets to St. Louis or the West by buy other line, remember that The "St. Louis & Southeastern" is the shortest, cheapest, quickest, best and only line under one -management from Nashville to St. Lonis, and is from 60 to 200 miles the shortest to St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver, California, Texas, and all western points. It is also the "Chi cago Shortest Line," via Evansville. You can secure the cheapest rates for yourselves and your movables on applica tion, in person or by letter, to C. S.
