The Inman Line.

The intimate relations between this country
and Europe in exports, imports and emigrn-
tion, are best illustrated in the remark
able developement of the Inman Line,
which, in 1851, the date of its in
auguemtion, numbered but two ships,
yet now, in its eighteeth year, has
fleet of sixteen frstclass steamers and anoth-
er building. Every ship of the line is built In
water-tght compartments and completely
equipped with all the latest and most APPROX.
ed appliances for the comfort and safety of
passengers. Without government aid OF any
subsidy whatever, this line, under the judi
cius management of its officers, has achieved
a magnificent success. And although by its
superior facilities and quick time it has COM
manded the carrying of The U. s. 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 hospitali-
ties, the polite attentions and zealous care of
officers and crew ON board any of the splen-
did steamers Of this line, need not be told the
simple secret Of its popularity with the trav-
cling public. Nor is the general excellence of
this line confined to the cabin. Within eight
cen years no less than 100000 emigrants have
been landed on our shores in her stauneh,
roomy and wen appointed ships. David A.
Wells, Special Commissioner of the Revenue,
estimates the value OF each emigrant brought
into the United States at 81, 600. Here then,
is an accession of five hundred millions to the
actual wealth and industry of the country.

thousands upon thousands of our foreign born
citizens have pleasant memories Of the kind
