The East Indian Railway

Proceeding up the country in March last, we bethought ourselves it might be useful to note the state of the line generally, the sanitary and conservancy arrangements in vogue, and the practical conveniences at several stations, with a view to forming an opinion as to the care and attention paid to these matters "on the line." The barrack offices for troops, although somewhat improved of late years, are still often found in a very disgraceful state, from want chiefly of supervision perhaps, but more from the rough utensils provide for their use; in the stations of this rich and great company, however we expected to find the most modern appliances, and a system of complete efficiency in adopting them for use.
