CHEAP TRAVELLING.
Paducah News.

We have been attempting for some time
past to say that cheap transportation is pos
sibe upon our western rivers, but the low
cost to which steamboat travelling is pro
posed to be reduced, will be positively sur.
prlsing If it is ever carried into practical
effect
Several years ago steamboat company
| placed steamer upon the Hudson river,
and began making trips from New York
to Yonkers, 90 miles, at a charge Of ten
cents. 1t was success and the trips
were extended farther and farther until
they reached Poughkeepsie, 10 miles, the
charge remaining 10 cents for all distances.
1t has proved paying business; and the
company are preparing to put on two more
boats, to run from New York to Albany,
100 miles, at the same charge of 10 cents.
The same company have their eyes
turned westward, and if the Albany exper-
iment turns out well they will place boats
upon the Mississippi, to run from ST. Paul
to New Orleans, and possibly upon the
Ohio, from Louisville to Cairo at charges
proportionate to those on the Hudson
river. The charge, therefore, from Louis
vile to Cairo, on the Ohio, 400 miles, will
possibly not exceed 40 or so cents and
from st. Paul Minnesota, on the Mssissip-
pi, to New Orleans, 2,037 miles, at possibly
81 for the trip; or from St. Louis to New
Orleans, ,242 miles, possibly at 81 for the
trip.
Cheap freight carrying is also a part of
their business, and light freights will be
carried from point to point at rates which
will astonish our western steamboatmen.
Their boats are of the finest characters,
and they keep asplendid bar and table, the
charges at which are moderate, and which
help to make up the profits of their invest
ment.
Will not that be gala day when we
can secure trip from Paducah to Louis.
vile for 40 cents, or from Paducah to Cairo
for 10 cents2--or from Paducah to ST.
Louis for 40 cents or to New Orleans for
81?
How this is done we don't know. The
New York papers only explain that it is
from multitude Of passengers. The boats
are always full of passengers, and the re.
ceipts from the table are equal to those of
the largest hetels They are in fact large
Toating hotels, always crowded with guests
and while the small fee for passengers pays
the cost Of running the boat, the table and
bar make the profit on the venture.
When the improvements on the Missis.
sippi river, which are now under way, shall
have progressed so far as to make naviga.
ton safe and the channel deep enough for
large boats at all seasons, we may look for
the most astonishing revolution in both
passenger and freight carrying. And rail.
roads will have to bend to observation-disclosures
or surrender the greater part of passenger
carrying to the steamboats,.

although many of our people have wit
messed them in the large theatres of the

recommended, and the plays they are now
offering to the public have been thoroughly
tested before the most critical of audiences
and have not been found wanting. Miss

Daugher," and that of NANCY Williams"
in the "Danltes." Harry Robinson as "the

WIN. Holly is one of those dangerous
scoundrels who occasionally succeed in
imposing themselves upon community,
and getting the more ignorant portion of
il to place confidence in him which often
cost them dearly. Holly came here but a
few days ago, dirty, ragged, evil.visaged,
loafer, who, it would seem, would be
stunned, evan by the meanest plebian.
But he moved about among the darkies in
the barracks, represented himself as an M.
d. who could cure any body of any
thing, and announced his motto to be mo
cure no pay" He worked up quite little
practice among the darkies and, IN spite of
his motto he invariably managed to get the
money in advance. One little darkey girl
had been sick with fever for several
weeks "Dr Holly called, stated his pros
fession, was asked to examine the patient,
did So and with ridiculous assumption of
wisdom, pronounced the little girl to be
all icted with worm in her neck, which
he could cure on very short notice. To
prove the truth of what he said, he pressed
his finger upon an artery of the neck,
causing it to swell and pulsate visibly, and
this swelling and pulsation he pronounced
to be the form and the wriggling of the
worm. The chld's ignorant mother was
completely duped. She paid the vagabond
something over seven dollars. The latter
applied some kind of fluid with his finger
and left. He had the audacity to return
next day to inquire after the effect Of his
treatment and being told that there was no
improvement, he proceed to subject the child
to an outrageous treatment, which at once
awakened the mother to the real character
of the pretended DR.. The negress swore
out warrant, charging him with disorder
ly conduct and being tried before Magis.
trate Comiugs, Holly was fined twenty-five
dollars and cost, and sentenced tolabor upon
the streets of the city until he should have
lIquidated the debt to the city. The
court, in delivering sentence, expressed re-
greet that the law did not permit the pri-
soner's condemnation to the whipping post,
to receive fifty or more stripes with CATO
nine tails.

A very auaacious but slzillfuily-con-
trived diamond robbery took place in
Paris. A man giving his address as Col.
CASTOR, OF the United States, went into
iewelly shop and selected number of
expensive diamond ornaments, valued
in all ct SCI, 900. These he put in a
small leather bag, for security in travel
ing, as he said. which locking be placed
on tie counter in full view of the sales
man. Then he took up pencil and ap-
peared to be busy making some calcu-
lations. While so engaged a confeder-
ale entered The shop and asked to look
ri some handsome shirt studs, and while
the salesman was opening the show case
to take them out he managed to secure
the leather bag and to slip into ITS place
q duplicate bag. As soon as the con-
federase had withdrawn. the self-styled
Colonel o!fereda check for his purchases.
The SALESMAN said he must have cash,
whereapon the Colonel handel him over
the duplicate bag and left. saying he
would soon return with the money,

THE TARIFF EEPORr.

IT'S Success The Surprise 0f the S,GsON.
Washington Special TO Chicago Tribune.
John Z. Hayes, president of the tariff
commission, said tonight: ''T::e report OF
the commission is meeting with more favor
than I expected. I have received letters
from prominent men IN Pennsylvania who
are most affected by the schedules pro-
posed, and they say that, while they are
more hurt than any one, they think
pass the bill recommended by the
commission in exactly its form, rs it will
settle a disturbing question and do some
thing to take the tariff out of politics. A
number of New England senator's have
carefully examined the bill and have given
their advice TO leading representatives. to
take the commission bill Just as it was re-
ported. have myself urged Senator Nor
rill to do this in the Senate. I think it the
best measure we can get. Of course am
a strong protectionist, and had to
make concessions all the way through.
There were many things to which 1
! objected. l Thought it was unjust, for in
stance, to take the tariff OFF Of wood pulp.
| but the bill is the result Of Inutual conces-
sions, and think it is successful. The
best thing in it in my judgment is the Gus
toms court. That feature certainly ought
| to be adopted right away"
Senator Morrill,, as matter cf fact, in
troduced II the senate today an amend
ment to the tax bill nov pending there,
| which is il. reality tariff bill, and which
incorporates the entire schsaala recon-
Inended by the tariff commission as sub
stitute for the existing tariff.
The representatives OF some OF the New
England cotton spooi-thread interests thinE,
that they have discovered in the propos ed
reductions OF the commission provision
which will be ruino15 to then. This is IL
Recommendation of duty of six cents per
dozen spools IF cotton spool-thread con
t;ining on each spool not to exceed 800
yards of thread. Mr.. Barrows, presi
dent OF the Williman.ic Cotton
Thread company, is here to cal!
attention to what he claims must be an
error OF the part Of the commission. The
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1882-12-11

report of the commission states that the
unit of value On imported spooi-cotton
per ten yards is $i3.06 per dozen, and
that On this basis the duty OF six cents per
dozen will be the equivalent of something
less than As per cent. Mr.. Barrows says
that the commission has chosen as the
unit OF value the cheapest grade Of thread
one not generally used in this country.
The true unit of value would show a six
cent duly to be muck less than IS per
cent. At the same time, the commission
recommends duty or the cotton yarn used
IL the manufacture of spool thread Of sc
per cent al valorem. The duty CT the
manufactured article is thus made much
lighter than the duty on the materials
frcTa which it is manufactured. Mr.. Bar
rows is cor.EEdeu. thai congress Will correct
this ;rregu,ariy.

J. S Moore, The parsee merchant, who
claims that the addition to the free list are
