Transatlantic Steamers.
TROY Timcs.

There are now about 13Osteam yes,
se's in tho transatlantic service, most
of which :trc rapid sailers, and the
Oregon was one Of the most recent
construction. Her name shows that
she WIS not G. born Cunarlcr, and
this leads one to u brief reference to
the rules observed hy different lines.
Thn Gnion ships, for instance, are
named after States and Terrific in
the northwest. including Wisconsin.
Nevada, Arizona, Alaska and Oregon.
The last mentioned vessel, whose sad
inte ;twnkcns SO much notice, was pur-
ri'asrd by the Cnnanl company from
the Guion. The White Star line pre-
fers names ending in "ic," Us tho
Gcrmanc, the Celtic and the Dritan-
mic. The Cunanl company selects
names ending in "ia," such as tho
Scythiu, the Persia, the Servia and
the Aurania, and the Anchor line pur-
sues the same practice. The Nation
ai line very properly uses tho nlmes
OF nations, such as Greece, Spain and
Egypt, while the Inman line honors
various distinguished cities, such as
Chicago and Berlin. The State line
goes for States, and names its ships
Pennsylvania, Nebraska, etc, but the
Hamburg line dips into authors and
gives us the Wieland. tho Geilert and
the Leasing, with other distinguished
names: The French, OH the other
hand, love wine more than books, and
hence the Bordeaux line names its
vessels after the best brands, such as
Chateau Leon Vile and Chateau
l4attte. The Bremen and Hull YES.
sells are named after birds, and tho
United States and Brazil line selects
names ending in "ance," such as the
Finance, the Advance and the Re-
lance. Tho Monarch line, on the
other hand, deals in monarchs, and
its list comprises the Assyrian Mon.
arch, the Lydian Monarch, the Grecian
Monarch, etc. In this manner n re.
markable degree OF uniformity is pre.
served in the midst of wide variety
OF taste.

Western Stage Realism.

Salt Lake Tribune: At Denver, in
the winter of 1868. the principal
theatre was run under the manage.
ment of John Langrish. At that time
some 5000 Union soldiers were sta
toned there. The soldiers took great
interest in the theatre, and were it's
principal, or at least its most enthusi-
astic, patrons. Every night the house
was crowded-particularly the gallery
with soldiers. To please the boysin
blue, MIR. Langrish put on the "Siege
OF Lucknow. Both men and officers
took great interest in the piece. They
were determined that it should be
produced in fine style. The soldiers
made a lot of bombs to be used in the
fort scene, the officers allowed two
cannons to be brought to the theatre
for use in the fort, and about fifty
mon, armed with muskets, volun-
tcered to act as the attacking army OF
natives. For two or three DAYS
previous to the night when the piece
was to he presented there were more
soldiers ut work on the stage and
about the theatre than helpers of any
other kind. They bossed all the war
like preparations.
The great night came and the SOL
diers had the house. Not only were
they in the cutlery, but they also filled
the seats and the lower floor. Mrs.
!.ansrish took the part of Jessie
Brown. When the attack was made
on the fort the firing was terrific.
Then bombs began to fall into the
fort. These were bulls of yarn con-
tanning eunpowler. In order to pro.
duce Il good effect the reckless soldiers
who made these imitation bombshells
had placed in each nearly half a pound
OF powder. They made Il report as
loud us the largest China bombs. The
bombs made 1t mighty hot for poor
Jessie Brown. In less than half a
minute her dress was on fire in two or
three places and everybody expected
to see her beat u retreat. But those
with her in the fort smothered her
burning dress and she stood her
ground.
Thcs,ipposition was among the peo-
pic of the theatre that the cannon
were not loaded. The printing of tho
l'sN''' N'aN w iJC IiitSllCIt uIlu ~ urum
was to he STRUCK to initiate the report.
But some soldiers had Slipped into
one OF the cannon u cartridge contain
ing about two pounds OF powder.
When those in front had begun to re-
ply to the fire OF the attacking party
thus cannon was Touched OIL and blew
hole through til. side of the theatre
nearly eight foot square. This cxcit-
ed the soldiers in front, and those in
The gallery began firing their rcvolvers
ulp into the ceiling, while those below
turned loose into the floor. In u few
seconds the whole place was so full of
powder smoke that one could hardly
breathe or see. The lights presented
the appearance OF street lamps seen
through u dense fog. The excuse that
the soldiers nilcrw,lrd made for rid
ding the floor anil ceiling was that all
was 80 much like ~ real battle that
they forgot where they were and so
begun firing before they realized what
they We're about. Tint night all "the
boys in blue" felt that they got the
full worth Of their money.

We have received communication from
