Coming Events.

The New York Herald, contemplating
the revolution in navigation and commerce
which the Great Eastern is to initiate,
says:
Ii is not difficult TO see in the aggregate,
although the details are hidden to us, the
revolution that the Great Eastern is TO
achieve. Her ultimate destination is to run
from England to the Antipodes. This, of
ITSELF will bring the two hundred millions
of civilized men who live on one corner of
the shore of the Atlantic, into intimate
contact with the six hundred millions of
barbarians who reside on the shores of the
Indian and Pacific oceans. Commerce will
soon attain such gigantic proportions under
this new development that the Great East
srn, as with the Great Western, will be put
aside before her life is ended, on some out of
the way route, as two small and slow for the
wants of trade and travel. Cities that are
now looked upon as monsters will grow in
like proportion.
IL Sandy Hook is too shallow for the en-
trance of the worlds new carriers, New
York will turn round and sit itself down
on the other end of Manhattan Island,
pairing away the headlands of the Sound
and the rocky pass of He'll Gate. The ap-
premiership of ocean steam navigation,
which has just ended on the Atlantic, will
bloom into maturity on the Pacific EN-
pires will grow mp on its shores, and the
cry that is already beginning to be heard
in few places will resound throughout the
earth-men more men, to till the soil, to
delve the mine, to plough the deep, to build
empires. Nations will be moved to and
fro, the races mingled, and the power of the
earth rest where man is most free and his
energies most untramelled.
The Great Eastern will effect as great 4,
revolution for New York in the future rs the
Great Western has done in the past. Not
alone will she and the other steamers OF
like dimensions which are sure to follow her,
impart immense strength to the growing
commercial destinies of the city, but they
will reyolutionize the face of the city itself.
Business will be transferred to the upper
end of the town, where no one of this gen.

entering the harbor by Sandy Hook, will
doubtless continue to be transacted dowr
town, as now; but the trade whose growth
the new lines OF monster ships will create
and foster, must concentrate in the vicinity
of their anchorage.

sag- To exhibit the progress in the size Of

BiJ" To exhibit the progress in the size Of
Ocean steamships, the following statement
is made. In 1925 the largest steamship
that had been built, was l22 feet keel, and
~ feet beam. In 1885, the largest was 1872
feet long with % feet beam. In 1888, the
Great Western was built 236 feet long and
35 beam. In 1874, the Great Britain was
launched, 32l feet on deck, with .iifty-one
feet beam. In 1853 the Himaldya was put
anoat and measured $40 feet long and 43
feet deep. In 1856 the Adriaic was built
354 feet long and so in breadth. In 1859
the Great Eastern was launched, being CSC
feet long and 80 feet in beam.
Thus, the ocean-going steamer of 1859 is
nearly six times the length OF that of 1925,
whilst the difference between the tonnage is
still more in favor of the latter. The en-
tire freight of the Great Eastern, with coal
and cargo, is thirty thousand tons, which is
greater by eighteen thousand tons than tina,

Editorial Rabies.

From the manifestations made by our
neighbor of the Boonville Democrat, we are
led to believe that some sort of animal rab-
idness has broken out in the streets OF Boon
Vile, worse than that which created so much
alarm last week in our highways, and that
the Boonyille Democrat has "got bite"
That paper fies at Judge Law with most
rabid ferocity for having, in return for his
kind and hospitable reception at the Spencer
county Fair, courteously invited the citizens
of that county-his hosts-to visit our en-
tertainment next week. Could any one but
a misanthropic churl have done less. For
this simple act of common politeness, the
smiable and esteemed Judge is abused, and
the District Association, which he repre-
scented, denounced as humbug and fraud.
The secret OF the offence is, that by some
mistake or unavoidable circumstance, the
time selected of the District Fair, was in the
same week in which the Warrick county
Fair occurs.
The Democrat seems to be troubled with
fear that its home exhibition will be de-
serted for the more imposing show here
The people of Spencer and Warrick will
meet with most hearty welcome to our en-
tertainment, and we hope they are preparing
to come in hosts; but We would suggest to
them that as there are FIVE days allotted
to the show here, they can conveniently and
pleasantly spend one day on their way, in
examining the excellent products of War.
rick that will be collected at Boonville
There will be much there worthy of visi
TO see. But the Democrat warns all corners
"There will be no humbugs on exhibition
TO "draw" wondering mankind upon tn,
grounds-no 81, 900 will be paid TO hay,
Flora Temple" there--no 81 500 will b,
paid to have one of Latta's steam fire en-
gineS on exhibition-no express messengel
will be sent for some distant intellectual
lght" TO display his fanks-none of thes,
may be expected, but simple show of th,
real, substantial wealth of old Warrick AM
the surrounding country which may be dis
posed to join. This and this alone, viii
comprise the attraction at our Fair ground
next week. Ii more than this is needed b,
any one, let him 60 where humbugs are tn
order of the day, and the only capital whiel
many have to work upon-where tinse
show and gaudy parade-where the "sound
ing brass and tinkling cymbal are tn
principal stock in trade. There are suel
places as these, and one need not travel ia
In order to find them"
Ii the author of this spleenish ebullitiol
will visit the District Fair, ohr mechanic
and farmers viii shame him out of his i'll
temper and abuse, by the display they vii
make of their products.
