At times when the “eloquence" of smell bore statesmen was 'ashing tko sea-wall of the House on subjeots that wore os threadbare as a tramp’s wardrobe, it used to be a gieat solaoe to Dr. Dutton, Congressman Bailey, Congresstn n Mitoheil and Congressman Hayes to wander over to the Senate and engage Senators Stoolsbri pe .aud Stanford in a quiet little discussion on the merits of the Amerioau trottin ■ horse. In this respoct, no doubt, they wete doing their oouuiry a greater service than by encouraging obeap oratory on the merits of boneless measures, ai d themselves suffered less personal inconvenience. Congressman I'atton sowed with distinction on the military afftirs committee, and on the committee of levees and improvements of tho Mississippi liver. He was always an bligiug and popular member of the committee on military affairs, to which most of his time was devotod, and has made a record that will do him credit He never hold any political office nntil elected to the Fifty-second Congress. His taste for horses is not necessarily aoquired, for ho was born in the Blue Grass State.

MONON’S STEAMBOAT LINE. The Monon .Route is making extensive preparations for hading ,i big ciowd this year. Last season a large ..urn of money was expended in putting the Michigan City branoh in good condition, and it will be operated the coming summer as a part of the Monon’s lake and rail line for a general excursion business. Two steamers hav t been chartered to run irom Michigan City to Jackson i’urk and Chioago harbor in connection with the toad. One boat will oarry 8,000 passengers and the other has a oapaoitv of 1, 100. The trains bringing excursionists will arrive at Miohigun City in the evening.— Their passengers will be transferred to the steamers whioh will leave about idnight for J aokson Park. The run by boat is about lour hours, but the passengers will be allowed to remain in their berths until morning. The boats will go on to Chioago harbor, taking those down town who wish to see the oity ffrst. In ,ho tveuing they will oall aguiu at the paik and take excursionists buck to Michigan City, where trainß will be in readiness for the passengers. Its boat line will give t e Mon.n quite an advantage iu extending low rates along its line. Tho boats can tuko passengers from Michigan City for 60 ce ts and then nurku good money out of tho traffic, This is far cheaper tnan the road could do it by rail.

A full vehtibuled train will be run from Atlanta to Oh oagO through! tho atusou. Extra train service will be added by sootions with the schedule the way it is now. Theroad has,added m terially to its equipment. Ten new couches were i uilt Ist year, and twenty -ffye more lire now under way. Throe parlor diners are also under construction. New locomotives, of heavy build and especially designed for fast running, aro also being bn.lt. I'repara. tory for its immense trafio the Monon spent $1,000,000 the last yiar on its road bed. General Passenger Agent James ■Marker suys tho outlook is favorable foi a great Iraftto. ••• The Monon, like tubal Other roads, is notpieparod to announce its position on exoursion rates. The road by its steamboat connection ovn handle un immense traffic without causing a glut of trains on its Chicago division, and us tho boats must be kept running it is likely that rates will be made whioh will give them pasiengors. Two or three excursions by way of Michigan City weie given lai.t summer and the railroad ofiiaials were simply astonisl.eu at the number of people orowdiug into their ti ains for a trip to Chioago.

WINTER REBOBTB OP THE SOUTH. Jacksonville and Tampa, Fla., and other South Atlantic and Gulf coast resorts can be reichbd with but one change of cars from Chicago and that at Louisville or Cincinnati, wnero tho Monon makes close connection the L. <fc N. and Q. and C. Vestibule trains, running through to Florida. The Monon’s day trains are now all equipped with beautiful new Parlor and Dining cars, while Ps night trains are made up of Smoking Cars, Day Coaches, and Pullman and Compartment Sleepers, lighted by electricity from head-, light to hindermost sleeper. The Monon has gradually fought its way to the front, making extensive improvements in its roadbed a-’d service, until tosday it is (he biat equipped line from Chi* cago to the South, offering ils patrons facilities and accommodations second to none in the world, and at rates lower than ever before.
