The transatlantic steamers are carry
ing more passengers than ever before,
and they have instructed their agents
in cities and towns adjacent to their
ports not to hook any more until after
the middle of July. When people have
money to spend for European trips to
such degree as now exists it is a
pretty fair sign that business has been
prosperous, and that the prospect for
Its continuance is quite promising.

Mr.. Blaine declining to allow his name

whether Mr.. Blaine's de- lination would

him anyhow, said:

THE PLUMED KNIGHT BE.
TIRES. ..-'r. ... ..

Yesterdays dispatches announce that
James G.: Blaine declines to run the
risk of another defeat by allowing his
Eame to be used as candidate for the
Presidency. The Plumed Knight sees
in the dun and misty future indisputable
evidence that his career as a candidate
for the highest Office within the gift of
the American people is ended, and us a
shrewd politician he wisely declines to
play the part of ten Plus to the Repub-
licsu party.
It is now in order for the party to
east about for other material, and the
probabilities are favorable that John
Sherman will now come to the front az
the leuder Of the Republican forces in
the great political contest of 1883.
With the Ohio delegation solid and a
favorable backing by other States of the
Union there il Mt present n strong prob
ability that. he will be nominated at
Chicago in June; and although his
chances for carrying New York at the
general election in November may be-
better than BlHine's, he is certainly not
as popular on the Pacitic Coast, and it
is possible, though not probable. that q
President may be elected without New
York.

there need be no waiting till the porter
carries up the heavy crib, as any one
can carry up the basket; and there is
no screwing together, but simply take
off the rubber sheet and there baby has
its bed ready, and nurse can attend to
Iother things. Ingoing acro,s the ocean
lit is invaluable as, resting IN it's broad
base on the floor, no pitching or rolling

Sometimes the Gig Bill Dodge Fails.

ner Of the car complacently handed out
a 500 bill. It was an old game; one
that is often tried. The conductors
are usually ready for such things, but
this time change was short and the man
Of the patent register had just rung in
a fare on himself when a drummer,
standing on the rear platform, said, 'sI
guess I can break that $50 for you. 's
The face Of the big bill man fell in a.
moment as the drummer handed over a
lot Of small bills to the conductor. His
meanness was useless. He had to pay
his fare. :.
"That's slim game" said the drum
mer to another passenger, shortly after-
ward. II never see 1t tried but want
to break it up, if possible. A short
time ago was riding on the cars, near
bridgeport, Conn.,, when saw the con-
dictOr come up to man who sat in
front Of me for his fare. The fellow,
handed him $100 bill. !. His fare was
thirty-six cents. The conductor was

me 131 silver dollars, and counted out
100. If you ever saw a pleased man it
was that conductor. lie went back to
the sharper, gave him sixty-four cents
change, and then gave him ninety-nine

threatened, argued and pleaded; it was
no use. The conductor had his fare
and he had gA change. It's a mean
trick, and nothing pleases me better
