There has been considerable speculation
AT st. Louis lately IN regard to the Anchor
Line establishing . line of boats to run

satisfied they have a good thing Of it from
st. Louis to New Orleans, and virtually
own the Mississippi so far as steamboating
is concerned, but they will be in the fix
that the Irishman was when he bought the
elephanti if they undertake to run the Ohio
river. Moral: "Neycr bite more than you
can chaw."
