The intimate relations between this coun.
try and Europe In exports, imports and emf
grafton, are best illustrated in the remarka-
Bile development Of the Inman Line, which,
in 1851, the date Of it's Inauguration, num-
bered but two ships, yet now, In It's elgh-
teenth year, has feet Of sixteen frst-class
steamers and another building. Every ship
of the line is built in water-tight compart-
ments and completely equipped with all the
latest and most approved appliances for the
comfort and safety OF passengers. Without
government aid or any subsidy whatever, this
line, under the judicious management Of its
officers, has achieved magnificent
success. And although by it's supe-
rior facilities and quick time il has
commanded the carrying OF the
u. g. mails for the ocean postage, II has
looked mainly TO legitimate business for its
remunerative rewards. The thousands of
tourists who have enjoyed the elegant hos
pitalities, the polite attentions and jealous
care OF officers and crew on board any OF tho
splendid steamers Of this line, need not be
told the simple secret Of Ito popularity with
the travelling public. Nor is the general ex-

How a cleveland Livery stable Keeper

y W - HVAWs
X Cs=p, an attache of one Of the Penn
ylsania railroads, but we'll known in Buff
falo as an inyeterate practical joker, hap
peped in Cleveland, the other day, and
the weather being mild and warm, he con-
ceiyed the happy idea of taking the fair
object OF his alteration out riding. DON
ming his best suit, he started post haste
for the nearest livery stable He was q
partial stranger in the vicinity, and the
livery stable keeper, not knowing him, and
imagining, possibly, from the state of ner-
vous excitement in which he presented
himself, that something was up, refused
TO let him take horse and buggy.
''But,' demonstrated C----p, 81 am good
for dozen horses and buggies,"
'Very well, then leave me some Sc
curity," demanded the suspicious livery
man." fI
"How much do you consider your
darn'd rig worth, angrily asked our
friend.
"About $3.50"
IF buy it now and pay you $3.50 in
cash, will you agree to buy it back for the
came sum when l get through with it,"
asked C-p.
"Certainly, sir" politely responded the
owner, who thought he saw chance for a
good bargain.
''All right Here's your money!" and,
jumping into the vehicle, C---p drove off
to the residence of the expectant Angelina.
Of course she was ready, and of course a
pleasant drive was enjoyed. Up one and
down another of the beautifully laid out
avenues of Cleveland they rode, breathing
the fresh and balmy atmosphere of glori-
ous spring day, admiring the handsome
residences that line the streets, C---p
talking sweet nonsense all the while, and
Angeline looking asif she feltherself trans
ported to the seventh heaven of delight.
For two hours did the happy couple ride
and admire the newly-developed beauties
of nature, when the sinking sun reminded
our hero that official duties awaited his at
tention, and, leaving his fair companion at
the door of her residence, he drove back
to the livery stable.
"Well," said he to the proprietor 'you
see / am here again, and l presume you
are ready to buy this rig back. )"
'Yes, sir, trust ! am aman of my word" I"
coolly responded that individual, at the
same time handing O--p $3.50 in green
backs, which our friend quietly slowed
away in an inside pocket and was moving
of, when
"Hold on here" called the livery-man,

"Well, then, what in hi do you mean
by asking me to pay for the use of my own
rig2" retorted C-&-p as he moved off
with well-assumed indignation, while the
stable-hands and bystanders smiled audibly.
