In \‘l(‘\\‘ of this fact we are led to the lock

Unwthousand-mile books will be sold
at $20 as heretofore, and there will bc~
no change in the regular commutation
out of this city. The reason given is
that the rates now are more favorable
than thosc quoted by Competing lines,
and if the passenger business was done
on any other basis it would not be long
before the company would be in the
hands of a Receiver. The fare to Boston
has not been definitely fixed. owing to
an extsting agreement between the man
agent of “it“ company and the Sound
steamers, but in all probability it will be
$5. unlimitai, as against $5.53. The
limited rate now is $5, but under the
new plan no limited rate will be made.

Splitting Bulls and Reading Burns.
The new biography of Abraham Lin-
coin, HOW coming out in the Century
ntaga-zmc. starts soonx rather puzzling
questions in tin‘ mind. The fashion of
the day is to be forever dinning into the
ears of the public the amnion that
poverty, mean surroundings and a scant
supply of books render it impossible
for men to grow up otherwise than ig-
norant and brutish. And yet here was
a ltuy who. housed inacomfortlcss shan-
ty. bum-legged and corn-fed, his neigh-
bors a brewing, \vhiskcydrinking, foul-
tnouthcd set of creatures, as instinc-
tively jumps at a tattered book of
grammar as a trout at a fly, and devours
the contents of a chance copy of Robert
Burns' poetry, or a stray play of Shakes~
pears. as huugrily as his companions
would have devoured a bear steak.
