How u In these days Of fast travel

morning on board Of the Reserve, oom-
plains of the W. u. Z. r., that it necessi-
tates passengers from Dubuque spending .
day in Port Byron, or be subjected to tho
Incidents Of Stage conveyance to Rock
Island. As an instance passengers from Du-
buque take the boat TO Savanna in the o.
ternoon, and at Savanna take the cars some
time in the night, arriving in Port Byron
in the morning, just In time TO miss the
Rock Island train This necessitatss no
tel bill or livery bill. Port Byron may be
. rice place keep nice hotels and would
be good place for ''ducks," but when .
man is travelling on business these delays
are, to say the least, provoking. If this
is the fault Of the Western Union road. an
explanation is in justice due to the travel
ing publi.. As near as We can learn tho
travel between this and other lower river
points and Dubuque il no small item.

National Theatre Mrs. Lander's
Queen Elizabeth.

The second appearance Of Mrs. General
LANDER in her new character Of Queen Eliza
beth, last evening was complete triumph.
The piece has required much time in prepa-
ration, and the public Of this city will regret
that ii could not have been produced earlier
in her present engagement. RIsToRI's repre-
scntation OF this character was a good thing
to look at, but after all it was "show
piece" to persons unfamiliar with the Ian
guage in which she rendered it. When it is
done in English as Mrs. LANDER has pre-
sented it, it is felt as well as looked at.
The varying moods and tempestuous pas
sions Of the naughty queen in whom the in
tense love Of dominion SO often came into
collision with the natural feelings that sway
the female heart are portrayed by Mrs
LANDER in manner that thrills and capt.
Yates the audience. II was acknowledged
last evening by some Of the most critical O.
