Seventy Steamships Owned by One |
Company.

From The Boston Transcript.
Trieste, scarcely known here, and whose In-
habItants barely exceed q hundred thousand
III number, boasts OF a steam marine more nu-
merous, cost " and po werul than th 1t of all the
States of New England. One single company in
that metropolis whose moles and quays are so
constantly thronged with Hebrews, Greeks, Ar
menians, and Americans, owns not less than
seventy steamers. 1t is called the Austrian
Lloyd Company, and was founded as far back as
1888; and some idea may be formed Of the
fact that 1t runs twelve regular lines of steam
vessels every month, and is at once great
marine insurance and financial company, as
we'll as steamship company, that lthas agents in
printing ana engraving offices, publishes three
journals in two different languages, has ship
yards, boiler shops, arsenals, in word, naval
organization vast enough to make the Austrian
seaport where it is located almost a nation.

The True Spirit OF Conservation Illus
tFatpd.

THB hatred Of our Northern Pro slavery Con-
servatives for the Union men of the South is
bitter and unrelentiug. Thus the World calls
the Southern Union Convention, which is to
meet in this city on the ID of September, the
"Meau White Convention" "Mean white" is
term borrowed rom the Southern vocabulary,
and signifies any one who did not belong to the
slave aristocracy by the possession of human
obattels. And thus is the term which the World
applies to the faithful loyalists OF the South,
men who suffered everything and perilled every
thing rather than abiure their alieaance to the
old flag. For the Rebel who broke his oath,
deserted his post and took up arms against the
Government. the World has nothing but love
and admiration. For the faithful Southern
Unionift, who stood 6rm in the darkest hours,
and suffered imprisonment torture, and exile,
rather than become traitor. the World has
nothing but scorn and reproach. Could any
thing more clearly reveal the true spirit of the
Wor,d and its party!

The failure of the peach crop this year has
been source of great grief to eplcures; but
if we are inclined to be philosophical, caH we
not derive the comfort from it that the tempta-

many, and numerous cases OF cholera pre-
vented? 1t is well to derive what satisfaction
we can from disappointment; and in the present
case such satisfaction is plausible at least.

The Return to Town-The delightful weather
which is at present favoriug our city will have
the effect of driving the wanderers back to

heat of July renders it probable that, by sys-

early autumn. Once more will the long rows
of shutters be opened; once more will the
streets be throngeG with familiar faces. Bust
ness will become brisk and a long and profita.

by our business community.
