Steamboat Com petition i.

Steamboat Competition. .-.
The competition between the two lines Of
steamboats, has reached an cxtravasan|
height. Freights wcro carried for nothing
the other day. Something is bound to bust
at this ratio; but it is good thing for GU,
business men, ard now is their time to bring
on their goods; they may perchance make VI
for the exhorbitant prices when tho business
Of the river was monopolized BY one compa'
ny. Tho rates for passengers are equally
low, and many are taking advantage o.
them to make eastern visits, SO there is al
present considerable travel on the river.
1SD1AsA.-The lafayette Courier, a lead
ing Republican paper Of the Wabash vale,
talks this way about tho enthusiasm O
the Hoosiers for the Lincoln ticket:
1t IS idle to disguise the fact that, not.
withstanding the earnest and jealous labo,
which has thus FAR signalized the Republican
campaign in other portions of the State, ir
this section of the Wabash there would
seem to prevail, ut first glance, a serene in
difference as to the result.
IT is reported that Governor Banks will
soon 60 to Europe: in behalf OF tho Illinois
Central Railroad for the purpose of making
arrangements to induce immigration to the
lands of that road, and facilitate it's general
progress.
Mr.. FonREsT, the great tragedian, whe
was present at Baltimore, when Mr.. Douglas
made his last speech, says it is not surpris.
that Mr.. y. yields such great influence
over the minds Of the people by the pecu
culiar force Of his rhetorical powers. HI
asserts that during period Of over twenty
years on the stage he never witnessed such
a magical effect Of one man upon masses
composed Of such different elements.

PRINCE ALFRED. the younger brother Of
the Prince of Wales, is having o merry time
in the Island Of Madeira, with plenty of Or
anges, and no Orangemen to bother him.
No woman can be lady who would wound
or mortify another. No matter how beauti-
full or how cultivated she may be, she is in
reality coarse, and the innate vulgarity other
nature manifests itself here. Uniformly
kind, and courteous and polite treatment Of
all persons, is one mark Of q true woman.
FAIRBANKS ScALEs.-A new scale for
weighing stock before loading in cars, has
lately been put up, we notice, at the Cattle
Yards Of the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne
Railroad in this city, with platform some
thirty feet or more in length, and Of width
sufficient for weighing full car load At
once. This must be very convenient aad
economical arrangement where large quanti-
ties Of stock, as here, are to DO weighed fol-
shipping.
The scale bears. the namo of "Fairbanks, !"
which has long been familiar wherever
scales are used, and is always the highest
guaranty for excellence. It seems to be 50
constructed in oil its parts as to combine
the greatest possible strength, accuracy and
durability, and has shallow pit, as have
various other notifications Of Fairbanks
scales, many Of these requiring only twelve
inches Of extreme depth, witch adapts them
to locations where greater depth would be
an objection.-Chicago Democrat.
