Recognition ut Rea. [Boston Transcript.) In vtew of the many first-class lines now crossing the Atlantic, the question that at first suggests itself upou seeing a steamer in the distance Is: To wliut line does she belong? Is she an Inman, Guion, White Star, or Allan boat, or is she a Cunnrdcr? To the uninitiated all steamers look alike at sea, and it is frequently a puzzle to the passengers to understand how tho officers can tell so readily on being asked—even if the strange steamer be passed at night— to what line she belongs. Each line has a distinctive “funnel mark” by which its steamers can be told by day, and a distinctive kind of firework signal by which they can be known by night . When you see a steamer whose funnel is two-thirds red, with a white band and a stack top, you may know that she is an “Allan Liner.” If at night she sends up blue, white and red rockets in succession she be longs to the same line. 1 Au “American” line steamer will have a funnel, the lower part of which is red, with a white keystone painted on it; above these will bo a narrow white band, with a black top. The nigh} signal is first u red light, followed by a Roman caudle throw ing six red balls, and then another red light If a steamer’s funnel is buff, with a black top, she is a “White Star” boat, and her night signal will be a green light and a rocket throwing two green stars. When you see a black funnel, with a white band about a third from the top, if will show an Indian steamer; and a night signal of blUo lights forward and aft, with a red light on the bridge nnd a variegated rocket, will tell yoa sho belongs to the same line. The Cunard line l» known in the day time by a red funnel with a black top, and at night by two rockets and blue lights simultaneously. If the funnel is black, with a red band two-thirds of tho way up, it is that of a REFORM WnEHEAS, Many citizens of this community have heretofore subjected 1 themselves to unnee essary expense and burdensome overcharges in the purchase of goods; Therefore be it Resolved, That the interests Americus Recorder ORGAafS, Barlow Block, - - - - Ameri<%Ga.
