THE FIRST STEAMBOAT ON THE OHIO RIVER. We find some interes particulars regard- {ng the navigation of the Obio river by steam- boat in “ Western Annals,’ by James R. Al- bach, of Pittsburg. from which it appears that citizens of New York were iy instrumental in promoting what was then considered an ad- Yenturous and doubtful experiment. The au- thor quotes from Mr. Letube 5: complete success —o experi- ments in steam navigation on the Hudson and ining waters, previous to the year 1309, ta the attention of the principal Projectors to the idea of its application on the western rivers; and inthe month of April of that year Mr. Rooseyelt of New York, pursuant to an ment with Chancellor Livingston and Mr. Fulton, visited those rivers with the purpose of forming an opinion whether they admitted of steam navigation or not. Mr. acneeatt sur- veyed the rivers from Pittsburgh to New Or- leans, and as his report was favorable, it was decided to build « boat at the former town.’” In October, ISI1, the “ New Orleans’’ was launched and sent out, boing intended to ply between that city and Natchez—not, as stated the extract from Thurston’s book, between Pittsburgh and the falls of Ohio. Latrobe again: ‘Mr. Roosevelt, his young wife and family, Mr. Baker the engineer, An- drew Jack, the pilot, and six hands. with a few domestics formed her whole burden. There were no wood yards at that time, and constant delays were unavoidable. Late at night, on the fourth day after quitting Pittsburgh they arrived in safety at Louisville. having been but seventy-four hours descending upwards of six hundred miles."’ The settlers on the banks, who had not even heard the rumors of such a scheme, were struck with “ surprise and terror” at the appearance of the snorting monster. “I have heard that the general impression amo the good Kentuckians was that the comet had fallen into the Ohio. The small depth of water in the rapids prevented the boat from pursuing her voyage immediately; and during the conse- quent detention of three weeks, several trips were successfully made between Louisville and Cineinnati. in the last week of that month the voyage was After being nearly overwhelmed with the earthquakes, the «New Orleans’’ reached Natchez the first week in January, 1812. Neither Mitchell nor his tel was on the banks of the Ohio in those days, and it was no more strange that the honest farmer: should imagine the steamboat to be & comet. than are the vague apprehensions of the present time. that we are in danger of collision with one of those eccentric bodies. Singularly enough there was then, as now, a widely-spread story that the earth was to be “smashed”’ felt hat, and “‘ one-third of mankind”’ destroyed in the operation. A thief ina Virginia prison rofessed to have been entranced, and to have ad a revelation forete!ling the event, which was totake place on the fourth of June, 1812—a remarkable coincidence of dates. A pamphlet was published and widely circulated. + adorned with sundry Yankee pictures of horrible sights, portraying the dire calamity."” AS @ counterpart of this s‘a :«mboat-comet story, we remember one that was told about the people of a certain village who assembled to see the first locomotive pass by on the rails. Not one of them had the slightest idea what sort of an animal it was, and they were busy with all kinds of conjectures. A amoking and | roaring monster was seen in the distance, with | an unaccountably long tail behindit. Nobody supposed this to be a travelling invention, and as it approached, the good people were con- tounded and desperately puzzled. Fogtunate- ly, there was a“ John Podgers” in the village. and be was called ontoexpiainit. Jobn wi Lis glasses, and looked over his nose with a profound all-knowing gaze. After due obser- vatian.

He has brought his sister (a pretty, interesting girl of eleven years old.) to a boarding-sehool, where she is placed under the kind protection of the Empress “ Mr. Hume is better in health than when be quitted Paris, and what is very singular, improved health seems to have diminished to some extent his supernatural power. Mr. Hume has postively refused to give represen- tations. ite lives alone, very retired, and. ex- cept on very few occasions, he does not consent to make any more experiments. ~ Last Sunday, the day the Court left Fon- tainebleau to return to Paris, Mr. Hume had the honor of taking luncheon with their Maj- esties and the King of Bavaria, before their de- parture. ~ He made several experiments which were required of him by the King of Bavaria. In- visible hands have touched the hair of his Maj- esty, knocked his kness and patted his hands; the furnitare was removed to considerable dis- tances: the tables have replied to the questions put to them. ~ The King of Bavaria was all admiration; the mysterious phenomena which manifest the The waters rose in November, and ! THE BONNET BUSINESS, The Bonnet business of Massachusetts (says the Boston Traveller) commands a large pet of capital, and no small degree of taste and en- terprise. It is not eve: man norevery woman who can manufacture a bonnet in the highest style of art. Good judgment and taste are ne- cessary to cuecess in the business. The present year has been a trying one for bonnet manufacturers. The season opened with fair prospects, and hi; hopes of a pros- Perous trade were inspired. Many laid their plans for extensive business, and the conse- — has been that an undsual number of sonnets have been manufactured. In Frank- lin, Mass., somewhat distinguished for its man- ufacture of straw goods for half a century, there have been{nearly one hundred thousand cases of bonnets manufactured within six monthe. ‘These cases probably contained seven millions of bonnets, enough for one quarter of the heads, great and small, old and young. in the United States. About three hundred girls have been employed in the shops, while many others, in families, have worked at the business. Of course, when sudden stagnation of the business occurs, a3 the case has been the present season, great losses are the result. Perhaps there has not been much loss to most of the manufactur- ers, taking the scason as a whole, since the com- mencement of the trade was profitable. The logs has come within the last two months. It was a good beginning with a bad ending. The reader can form some idea of the vast number of bonnets manufactured in the land. from the number madein the town named above. It will be recollected that the above statement embraces only six months. If we add to this the number made in one other town in the State, (Foxboro’) and we shall probably have twenty- five miljions for this year. Two towns thus furnish about one; bonnet each for every man, woman and child in the Union. As the men do not wear bonnets, and the babies do not need them, these two towns must furnish every woman in the land with two bonnets each—a very good supply. Then think of the bonnets made in other places, and say if it is surprising that that the business is dull. May not one cause of the unexpected prostration ot this branch of traffic be found in the large number of bonnets manufactured? The market must be overstocked, and hence the large quantities of straw now on hend. while the sale is over Many people have the idea that certain fash- | ionables in our large cities control the style of bonnets; in other words, the fashionable bayer, and not the manufacturer, decides the style of | bonnets to be made. Thisis notso. The man- | fucturers control this matter completely. Last | fall there was an association of bonnet-makers } organized in this State, for the purpose of ma- king the style uniform. Hitherto there had | been no concert of action in this regard, and the consequence was that so many styles appeared in the trade as to prove an injury. The above association was formed to remove this difficulty; and it has accomplished its object successfully. Bonnet merchants can afford te work for small profits, and forno profits atall, this year, since the previous twelve or fifteen years have been exceedingly prosperous. The series of years has soarcel n interrupted by a sin- gle “drawbuck.” A vast amount of money has been made in this time—men have risen from peer. to affluence—and now a little bitter with the sweet will do them good. A Fisuine Svsmanine TeLecraru ron THe Norweoiaxs.—At Messrs. Glasse & Eliot's yard a fine submarine cable is being made for the Norwegian government. This is, as far as we are aware, probably the first electric tele- graph which has ever used for fishing pur- During the fishing season the shoals of her- rings enter the fiords of Norway at most unex- pected intervals, and at places where often not more than one or two fishing boats are to be found. Before the boats from the surrounding bays and fiords can be summoned to the spoil the herrings have generally spawned and are away to sea ‘in. . To prevent these repeated disappointments and losses to the fishermen, the Norwegian gov- ernment is ebout to lay a submarine eable along some fifty miles of the coast most frequented by the shoals, with land stations at short distances communicating with the fishing villages. The instant the shoal is seen in the offing, therefore, (and it can always be known at adistance by the whales which gurround it,) a message will be sent along the coast telling each village the fiord or bay which it has entered. Alas for the poor Rexrings : What will become of them now that science enters the deep against them, and their enemy lurks in their watery home? They may elude whales and fishing boats. defy tides, winds and waves, but what can they du against the elec- triccurrent’ They will splash heedlessly over the queer-looking rope on the bottom without thi that it is telling their numbers and the way they have taken, and guiding their pursa- ers tothe destruction of them all.—London Times. Meetine or Puitaperruia Betcuers.—An adjourned meeting of the Leef and mutton butch- ers of Philadelphia was held on Thursday even- ing, for the purpose of making general nomina- tions of delegates toattend a convention of butch- ers which it is proposed to hold in the city of Baltimore during the month of September. The supernatural power of Mr. Hume were pro- duced in the most decisive manner. Suddenly the phenomena ecased; Mr. Hume lost his pow- er. the spirit refused ty obey, the arm-chairs became immovable, and the tables kept silence. ~ Ask the spirits why they cease to reply,’’ said one of the august witnesses of the experi- ments. “Mr. Hume obeyed.
