Commercial, says in reference to the

another draft might be inaugurated
which M" would think no joke.

The Cunard Royal mail line has now
been twenty-seven years in existence.
Tue Cunard company bought four ships |
to start with, and they are now the
owners Of twenty-four splendid ocean
steamers, built out of their large profits.
after paying splendid dividends to the
stockholders. As an evidence Of their
prosperity, ssysa letter writer, take the
present cargo. We have on board two
hundred and eighteen first-elass passen-
gers, who pay one hundred and fifty-fve
dollars apiece, making q total Of $33, $50
in gold. The freight is estimated at
nearly $4,000. 10 addition, they re-
eeive some $1,000 for carrying the mail
which is included IN their annual sub.
sidy from the British government. I
TheF expenses are about $4,000 the
trip-nOt more. These figures,
nearly exact, foot up q very large profit
for the single trip. It is only necessary
to add that at least two hundred of our
hundred and eighteen passengers are
Americans, to show whence these gains
are derived.

IS a dangerous weapon, with edge TO him
and no handle 10 get hold Of him by.
