AMERICAN LINE.

To Paris Exposition and EuropeThis being the only line plying between Europe and America sailing under thp American Flag, it has a special claim for the active sympathy and patronage of the American people. The ships of the American Line are classed iu the very highest grade of Bureau Veritas, whos rules for the construction of iron steamships are of the strictest character. They are equipped iu full conformity with the very rigid iaws of the United States for the protection of passengers bysea, their Life-saving Aparatus being pronounced by the Supervising Inspector General of the United States Navy to be superior to that of any other transatlantic line. For sailing Lists, Lowest rates and information, address General Ticket Office Pan Handle Route, Columbus, Ohio. [From the Cincinnati* Commercial. March 25th.] Go to Sleep, My Ba-a-a-a-by. There is a bloody row in prospect between Joe Emmet and our enterprising Fourth street music publisher, F. W. Helmick. The latter, with characteristic energy, has published a “Lullaby,” which Mr. Emmet claims is his. Yesterday Mr. Helmick showed us his copyright of the song, with a signed certificate from the Library in Washington that there was no record oi a copyright by Emmet since 1870. Mr. Helmick thus fortified proposes to fight it out. Mr. Emmet says he will make it warm for Mr. Helmick, and will sue him for $20,000 damage done by the publication of the song. Really, to a man up a tree it seems Mr. Emmet ought to be thankful to Mr. Helmick, for every copy of the song has on the title page a fine lithograph of him, (Emmet) which makes him out to be an exceedingly handsome man. The choi us of this $20,000 ballad is as follows: Go to sleep, my ba-a by, my ba-a by, my ba-a-by, Go to sleep, my ba-a-oy, ba-a-oy, O oy; Go t > We have just received a copy of this wonderful $20,000 song, and must pronounce it very fine indeed. It can be played on the organ or piano. Price, 40 cents per copy; sent to any portion of the United States upon re ceipt of price, by addressing the publisher, F. W. Helmick, No. IU6 West Fourth St., Cincinnati, Ohio. Senu in your orders early as there is an astonishing demand for this song.
