Large quantities of freight are now being
shipped 60 st, Louis, via G. K. L. Road to
Peoria, thence by Illinois river.
The above road is determined to enter into
lively competition with the other lines. Ii
would have operated greatly to it's lnteres!
had the step been taken before the pressnt
competition had been organized, for 1t VIII
BIS claimed by shippers that this step mas
been forced by the action OF the Western
Union Line, and extend their patronage &c
cordingly.
There is another point which we wish to
mention to the r. l. L. f. Co. How is 1t
going to do about unjust discrimination In
freight going west? Are Chicago dealers to
have the long end of the lever from this time
forth, or can wholesale merchant doing bu-
siness here have the same chances, pro rata,
This is an important question, and one that
requires plain answer. There will be two
competing lines from this point to Chicago,
in full blast right away, and the line that
| takes the most liberal course, ali things con-
| sidersd, will receive the most liberal patron
age.
We speak of what we know to be true, and
surely it is worth attention We have not
the freight tariff of the Western Union Road
| before US, consequently cannot say which
| line is foremost in iberaiity, but that will
| soon enough be known, and we shall advise
| our shippers to do what to them seems most
| to their interest. We congratulate the pub
! lilo upon the dawn of railroad competition
between this point and Chicago, and have on
| lv TO say in reference thereto, let the best
man win.-DQU. Dem.

ANECDoTE OF When
the American troops were quartered at
Newdury, at the close of the revolution
ary war, and the soldiers were stirred
up to rebellion against the government
by the famous anonymous letters, which,
it has since been ascertained, were writ
ten by General Armstrong, then a major
in the army, General Washington con-
vened the officers for the purpose of ad-
dressing them on this subject, and calm
ing the tumult which was beginning to
rage in their bosoms. He held a paper
in his hand on which the remarks he in
tended to make were written-and then
it was, that finding himself unable to
read without assistance-as he was
drawing his speetaeles from his pocket
that unprecedented expression broke
from him-one of the most parthetic
that every fell from human lips-"Fel-
low-citizens," said he, you perceive
have not only grown gray, but blind in
Your service" The effect of this re-
mark was electrical. No bosom, no eye
was proof against it.

jokes ON Po1NTs.-There ought al
ways to be a point to a joke, but some
times there is joke to point. A
friend of ours, sometime back, was sick,
and was Informed by his physician that
there was an obstruction in his colon.
81 hope l won't lose half of it," said the
joker, 'for l should think semi-colon
in me would be improperly placed" "
The doctor informed him there was no
danger of that. ''Very well, ''he rejonied,
spray put period to it, but don't make
full stop ofme." The doctor at first
made an interrogation, point, and when
the thing flashed on him an exclama-
ton, which was increased when a third
party observed that the joke, though
not very good, was rather uncomma- on.
We heard, however, recently, varia-
tion of this, which was funny. A doc
tor had said that A had inflammation
of his colon. B called to inquire after
AS health, and asked what was the ma
ture of his disease. His landlady, Of
whom inquiry was made, replied she
didn't exactly know, but she believed
his punctuation was out Of order.
