The last number of the RdilWay Repieu

r. |. & P. Co:
"Stee Rails - ID the watchword which
heads new announcement OF this line The
announcement marks an importan. policy.
But small portion of the line, in compsri-
son with its entire length, is laid with steel :;
but, having thoroughly aud satisfactorily
tested ii, the policy is adopted OF putting it
| down hereafter in as large quantities each
year as financial circumstances will admit
The experiments with steel By this Co. have
been varied, prolonged, and decisive. The
various American manufacturers. both of
solid steel and steel headed rail have been
thoroughly tested, with the result of con
! viucing the management that none of these,
and perhaps no other foreign one possesses
merits equal to those Of the John Brown
! English solid steel rail- In not a single
instance has one Of these rails failed. Even
those in use now for four years at points in
yards where, under continuous and excess.

TaE LECTURE THIS EvEsIEG.-This
evening the Rev. W. Ii. Milburn delivers
lecture for the benefit of the poor OF Rock
Island, at Darts Hall, in this city. This
lecture, "What blind man saw IN Paris"
he delivered in Davenport, on Saturday
evening last, to large and Intelligent
audience. 1t is a literary effort Of uncom'
mon finish and power, and with the graceful
delivery of the blind orator, his iaultless ell.
olntion, and his deep musical voice, the
audience were held entranced from the be-
ginning to the very close. There Was one
fault to be found with q portion of the audi
ence that came to hear him in Davenport,
fault which we hope those who attend to-
night will not be guilty Of, i. e., of coming
late. The opening sentences of the lecture
are profoundly interesting inasmuch as
they relate to blind mans idea Of his own
perceptive faculties, beginning with beau
tiful apostrophe to the human eye. Hi'
sentences are beautifully and lucidly con
structed, and his enunciation js so distinct
that it fills every nook and Granny of the
building. But dozen people entering, jus
as the lecture begins, with a laudable pur
pose of displaying their millinery, compel
those who come early and desire to hear, t'
lose this finest part of the lecture. Wehop'
those who may attend this evening, vii
have sufficient courtesy to the audience ant
to the lecturer to come in time, aud moreo
YER we hope every body will go, as it is for
good object.

The HOG MARKET.-Snce the departure
Of Shaw & Bro to Chicago, and the lack
of any extensive packing house at this point
will it is thought by many divert the hog
trade entirely from this city. This is no,
altogether true, as dressed hogs will be pur
chased from whatever pork rsisers bring
them in, at Chicago prices, by j. S. Gilmore,
who will give Chicago prices for them, less
freight The price which will now be given
for dressed hogs as will be seen in our mar
kst reports will be l0a to lit cent?.

Rock ISLAND AS SEEN By An hLToNlAS'-
The editor of the Alton Telegraph has been
taking jaunt through the state from Chica'
90 to Rock Island, and the following are
some of his ideas conceived from cursory
view Of Rock Island.
At seven O'Clock the train reached Rock
Island; and the State is spanned from the
great lake to the great river. This city has
great future as manufacturing centre.
Her water power, on both the Mississippi
and Rock rivers, is unlimited, and in com
ing years will be source of wealth and the
dependence of large population. In add
ton to her natural resources the selection
of the Island opposite the city, as the site
of the Government arsenals and factories
wsuld alone insure the city's prosperity. The
Government works, now IN process OF erec'
| ton are planned on an immense and mag
| nifcept SCALE involving the expenditure OF
| millions Of dollars. Rock Island and her
sister cities Davenport and Moline are des
tined to be, essentially, one great emporium
central point for trade and manufactures
Rock Islands great want at present is
first class hotel, the Rodmsn House having
lately been destroyed BY FIRE. For travel
er in search of the "comforts Of home
her remaining hotel is an excellent one-t'
leave as soon as convenient.
The remarks of the Telegraph correspon
dent on our hotels, is true in one sense. Th
hotel accommodation is not adequate to tn
wants OF the travelling community, but MI
Woodin strives to make whatever guest
stop at his establishment, as comfortable
as comfortable as circumstances will permi
If the correspondent, had been treated to
sight ofthe newly projected, grand hot
which is soon to be built in Rock Island, f
would have conceived better idea of Oh
: hotel accommodations.
