The, Did Hot Advertise.

1t is stated in the Baltimore papers that the
Bremen line OF steamers running from thlt
port have decided to substitute fret ght steam
ers with steerage accommodations for their
steamships having saloon accomm )datiOns.
The latter they have transferred TO New York
and New Orleans for the reason as stated by
he Sun, that the summer exodus TO Europe
will give them at those ports much greater
number of first and second-elaSs passengers
than they have found, from experience, they
would get If they continued to make Bslti-
more their point of departure. To show how
little these steamships have been appreciated
by persons bound to Europe it is stated that
the America. one of the finest vessels af1Oat
which left Baltimore on the I'd of Nay, took
only 20 passengers, at time when, owing to
the Paris exhibition, the transatlantic steam
ships from New York are crowded to excess.
Surprise is expressed that people south andwest
of Baltimore going to Europe should overlook
this line of fine steamships and take passage
from New York in the more crowded steamers
sailing from that port. We think one suffi
Gent reason can be given. The mana gers of
the Baltimore Bremen line provided some su-
perb steamers, well Officered and appointed,
and then neglected to inform the travelling
public south and west anything about them.
They wanted the business brains to under
stand the benefits of printers Ink in their en-
teTpriSp. For instance, while WIShingtOnianS
proposing TO visit Europe could find full par
ticuars in the advertising columns of the
Washington papers, of the accommodations,
days Of sailing, &c, of the steamships leaving
New York and Philadelphia CunarierS
Anchor line. North German Lloyd line, Safe
line, American line, &c.-there was no. a,word
of information as to the Baltimore Bremen
steamships. Was it any wonder that southern
and western travellers overlooked the advan-
tageS OfSteameTS they knew nothing about"
