IHE EFFORTS which are now being made
IN England 10 establish new line of steam
ers between Milford Haven, Eng, and Port
land, has again aroused the jealousy of some
of the Boston newspapers against our city,
and one of them, speaking Of this enterprise
says:
The true route for such a line is between
Milford Haven to Boston, for the line to Port
land would command few passengers and lit
tie freight, while Boston commands freight
and is the most desirable point for emigrants.
Ii isn't worth while to multiply words with
our Boston contemporary on this subject, pre-
ferring to rest our argument upon the irrefu-
table logic of facts. Boston has tried the ex
pertinent Of passenger traffic between the
Two sides of the Atlantic, and failed; and in
the way of freight manages to partly fill n
small steamer with freight for Liverpool twice
a month. Portland has succeeded in tilIi,r
up large steamer each week during the win
ter season with passengers and freight. and
could easily do so with her direct western
connections the year round, if the vessels
were at her command. In regard to the tu-
ture, Portland promises to keep even with
her competitors in Increasing the avenues to
the West.
We like an honorable competition between
individuals or communities; but some of our
Boston contemporaries prefer to try the expe
riment of lifting themselves by pulling others
down.

An Old Fa.lacy Exploded.

Thirty or forty years ago it was the fashion to
administer powerful purgatlves as "spring medi.

and jalsp, or glauber salts were given to all the
members of q family, whether sick or well, by way
OF preparing them for the warm weather in pros-
pect. This pernicious custom is nearly obsolete

incapable alike OF forgetting anything or learning
anything, who obsinately cling to it still. Nothing

cal structures to resist hs enervating effects of
spring damps and summer heats, it should be toned
and reinforced, not relaxed and weakened. The
best medicine agent for this purpose is Hostettet's
Stomach Bitters. Its effect is to tone the stomach
and liver, gently relieve the bowels from obstruc-
lions brace the nerves, improve the quality OF the
blood, stimulate the appetite and cheer the splits.
In this improved condition the organization is
