CHEAPER RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION.

PASSENGER AND FREIGHT TARIFFS REDUCED.
The reduction in the railroad tariff on West
wardbOund freghts greatly affects the interests OF
Eastern shippers and Western purchasers that there Is
no little anxiety to the length Of time during which
charges will be made according TO the SCALE and the
causes leading to the reduction On inquiring at the
Office Of the Erie Railroad TRIBUNE reporter was in
formed by the freight agent that the tariff had been
adopted for August and that large number Of con-
tracts which that road had made would undoubtedly be-
come invalid owing the adoption Of low and uniform
rates.
At the Office Of the NewYork Central Railroad the fol-
lowing reasons were assigned for the concurrence OF
that road In the reduction OF frcights The rates
charged by the Baltimore and Ohio and the Grand
Trunk Railroads low that during the Summer sea-
son, when there Is comparatively little traffic, they
largely absorb the westward carrying business, 10 the
detr1ment of New-NOrk, as Western merchants make
their purchases possible in Baltimore and Boston
preference this city. Even when compelled TO buy
they ship their goods by the Portland boats aud the
Grand Trunk Road. These rates are rulnOus 10 the
roads, but must be adopted 10y competing roads during
the slack On the opening OF the FAN trade the
carrying capacity OF all the roads viii be taxed TO the
utmost and remunerative rates VIII probably DO again
charged. The trade with the West opens brisky about
the middle of August usually, and by September, II IS
thought, the old tariff, quite as high Will be
adopted. The NewYOrk Central mas bait few contracts,
and these of but little importance.
The great Southern mail made large reduc
ton in The price Of rstclass passenger fares between
this city and the important Southern points The cause
OF the decline is competition with the steamer lines. The

An Eternal ARr0nt.

The origin of the term "foolscap"
has doubtless puzzled many writers who
use the paper known by that name,
and yet, as in many similar cases, it
took its name from very simple cir.
cumstance. Charles l., of England,
granted numerous monopolies for the
support of the Government. Among
Others was the manufacture of paper.
The watermark of the finest sort was
the royal arms of England. The con.
sumption of this article was great, and
large fortunes were made by those who
purchased the exclusive right to vend
it. This, among monopolies, was set
aside by the Parliament that brought
Charles |. to the scaffold; and by the
way of showing their contempt for the
King they ordered the royal arms to be
taken from the paper, and fool with
his cap and bells to be substituted. 1t
is now over 200 years since the foolscap
was taken from the paper, but still the
paper of the size which the rump par
lament used for their journals bear the
name of the watermark placed there as
an indignity to Charles.

JUsr TAKEN HIS BlTTERs.-We heard a
seedy-looking individual with an alarm
ingly red nose remark TO a brother
soaker that he had "just had his bit.
tiers, but that he did not mind taking an
other nip" His remark suggested a
train of reflection. How was it, we
asked ourselves, that the word bit.
tiers" had grown to be synonym for
gin, whisky, rum, and other alcoholic
stimulants. to which it was applied in
discriminatory? Bitters, we reasoned,
suggested the idea of a healthful tonic,
not Of poisonous stimulant; something
invigorating to the system, not an alco.
holic irritant, full of fusil oil, producing
present intoxication and ultimate insanity,
idiocy, or premature death. Moreover, our
idea OF bitters was totally irreconcilable with
I" gin cocktails, " ''rum punches" and "brandy
smashes," which, we are informed, are sweet
ened with sugar, and rendered doubly injuri-
ous with essences colored by means of min
eral poison. This was bitter-sweet with VEN
geance. We mentioned this problem 10 a
