IT IS not pleasant to note some appear
ances already, on the part of our little steam
ferries, of a wish to engage in racing. We
express the sentiments OF the entire com
munity in deprecating any such foolish risk
of life. Though both these tugs are non
in good order, and safe for all needed pur-
poses the racing business would soon rem
der them unsafe. Gentlemen, agree to dis
agree, and don't risk human life for the sake
of few seconds increase of speed. We
know you are willing to regard the wishes
of your patrons in this matter, and with
these we look upon the first race as a mel
sportive trial, and not as any indication of
the future course Of the ferries.

A MAN who has made two suggestions as

worth keeping before the public little

that we are sorry that many good people Of

SPEED ON ENGLISH I,AILNyAYS.

Some interesting details concerning
tho speed OF railway trains in England
have recently been published. The
average rate Of speed ut which the
quickest express trains travel Is i7S
miles an hour. But there arc two lines
on which this pace is exceeded. The
10 O'Clock train on the Great Northern
road reaches Peterborough at IL .3N the
distance is 7G! miles, and the pace 81
miles an hour. The IL. As train on the
Great Western makes the run to Swim
don, ~! miles, without stopping, and
docs it in hour and 81 uninucts, or 1T
j3! miles m hour. There arc a num-
Der Of othor roads which make rams at
the rates OF from - to 50 miles an hour;
but the Journey from London to OATH
by tho li':i5 train il the quickest in the
world. The distance is l07 miles and
it is done in 2 hours and 10 minutes,
including q stoppagc Of 10 minutes at
SWindon. The actual time in travcl-
ing is hours and 8 minutes, somc-
thing over 52 miles an hour.

thence by boat to New Orleans. II the

cotton at that price the whole season

The May Flower, from Camden, Went
down on Tuesday with 1850 bales. The
passenger list was quite slim. The SING
boat Octavia passed. up Monday. Her
officers appear to be wei, pleased with
their work last season in the upper

amount of snag-pulling can discoilposc
their nerves.

with about 900 bales. The Belle is
making pretty pt,nctuai trips, and is
just the thing for families.
