Another Steamboat Idea.

To TIE FREE LANCE
There seems to be going on among the
fredericksburg business men, the Caroline
county people and the local press lively
discussion upon the steamboat question.
What suits fredericksburg does not ap-
pear TO suit the people of Caroline, and
vice versa. 1t is natural that trederlcks-
burg should covet the trade OF her own
waters. She has some few good whole
sale houses, and is n very cheap retail
market. But why should she want to
start an enterprise that will come to an
early death unless it has the support oil
the lower Rappahannock? Apply Jetier-
sons principle and ask JAY GOuld's ques-
ton. viz: First, The greatest good to the
greatest number; and, second, VIII II payF
\ light-draughta and economical steamer
could leave fredericksburg very early IN
the morning mot touching every wharf,
RIM down the river in the daytime, make
the mouth of the river by night, and ar
rive in Crisfeld, Md, by 1 o'clock p. m.
At Crishcld trains are going to ana com
ing from Northern cities, and steamers
going to and coming from Baltimore
city. Steamer could leave Crisiied early
next morning, making trip up the Rap
pahannock in the daytime, and arrive in
Fredericksburg that night. Three tripsa
week could he made.
4 hght-draught boat could in few
years establish many wharves. Many OF
the Weems Company's best wnarves are
nj the mouths of creeks, which places are
rather inaccessible To the majority of
shippers. are greatly exposed To storms,
are very long. and expensive to keep up.
4 light-draught steamer could go up
higher into these creeks, get right in the
heart of the shippers; wharves would be
short. inexpensive TO keep up. and not
exposed To storms.
This route would put passengers going
to Philadelphia or New York in those
cities quicker and cheaper than by the
WAY of Baltimore over the Wecms line.
| OYSTERS. fish. trucks, fruits, eggs and
poultry would reach Philadelphia as
cheaply and "a quickly as they can he
now gotten to Baltimore. Most oil us
know that Philadelphia prices generally
are much better than Baltimore prices on
these kinds of shipments.
Crisfeld is n great oyster depot; does
much shipping. but-excepting retail
groceries, etc.-is not much OF a store
town. This would be fredericksburg :
steamer. and it would make daytime
trips on the Rappahannock.
1t seems to me, when quick and cheap
trim could De made to and from Freder
icksburg. that many of the people living
as far down as Urbanna would take
pleasure in doing their shopping in their
} own States battle-scarred iowa. And,
likewise. the country merchants would
buy many goods there.

ItaIians Love Tomntoes.

Italians more than any other people
value tomatoes, and each one that
GoQes to perfection is as carefully tend
ed as though it were an apple of gold
Not orGv do the housewives delight in
the fresh FEE'--s tables themselves, but,
generally speaking, those home tended
are better than any purchased at the
market, and so each one is jealousy
saved to make tOmatoe sauce for the
spaghetti, without which no Italian
Sunday would be Sunday. One sOapboX
gardener one season sold enough tOma-
toes to give her quite a little pin money
No one who knows the Italian we'll will
be surprised to learn that many of the
boxes are devoted to peppers, for they
in truth furnish much of their spice of
life, and even the little Italian girls
know how to stuff and cook them in a
dozen different ways that tempt the
palate.-Boston Transcript.

How Our Ancestors QunrreIed.

A study Of medieval rural life is apt
to give the impression that the princi-
pal part of the life Of the people was
spent in quarrelng or in the commits
sion or prosecution of Offcnses. Our
ancestors certainly were a very liti-
gious and a very disOrderly people.
The records TEEN with instances of men
and women drawing knives against one
another, of breaking into houses, of
prosecuting one another for Islander.
Then we have such entries as these:
cit is ordained by common consent
that all the women Of the village must
refrain their tongues from all SANDER
ing" Thomas, son Of Robert Smith,
is fined u pence because his wife Ag-
mes beat Emma, the wife Of Robert,
the tailor, and Robert, the tailor, six
pence because his wife Emma sWore at
Agnes, the wife of Thomas" 1T is en-
Joined upon all the tenants Of the vii
lage that none of them attack any 9th
ers in word or deed, with clubs or ar
rows or knives under penalty Of paying
40 shillings."
Such entries, frequently occurring, in
addition to the innUmerable instances
of individual attack, Islander, petty
theft and other immortality seem to
show a community of far from perfect
virtue.-Lippincotts
