1t is truly gratifying TO witness the great
Improvement which has every season been
made in the character Of steamboats, on this
trade. The opening Of navigation every spring
has brought with it more or less new boats,
built in superior style to those on the waters
the previous season. Two years ago, the Mis-
souri, Fulton made Ler first trip 10 this place,
and was considered highly flattering TO the
trade to have boat so much superior in con-
struction 10 those formerly running. The great
difference will be the more plainly shown, by
comparing her wi.hthe new and splendid steam
boat, BRAZIL, Capt. ORRIN SMITH. which
arrived here on Thursday morning last, on her
frst trip from Cincinnati, which she performed
in eight days, landing at nearly all the inter-
mediate ports. shipping and discharging freight,
and passengers. She is one Of the largest
boats in the trade, and finished in style 81.
psrior, we believe, to any other boat in the
trade, her furniture Of the finest kind, showing
that no expense has been spared 10 render hel
worthy tho patronage Of the travelling commu
nifty. Capt. S. is one Of the Oldest command
ers on the river, and is well known as possess
ing the requisite qualifications, from DISPOSE
ten - we'll as interest, to render satisfaction
70 all favoring him with their patronage. and
] 40 are truly glad 10 see him again on the trade
as the key to such little paradise.
We do not make this allnsion to boats on
the trade as wishing to disparage the claims
Of others to public favor, as we believe all
our boats are commanded in genilemanly
and accommodating manner, and will doubt
. less receive good patronage. but in order to
show that the yearly increase of business in
this trade will justify a great increase in the
character Of construction Of boats intended
therefor.

"HAIL COLUMBIA"

JUICE HopKINsoN.-We present our
readers with on American anecdote
from the pen Of valued correspondent
respecting the composition of'Hail Co
lumbia,' by Judge Hopkinson, which
will be new to most of our subscribers.
Mr.. EDIToR-Though you are aware
that the Hon. Judge Hopkinson is the
author Of Hail Columbia, you may not
know the circumstances under which it
was written. | have heard the history
of the song more than once, and hope
it may find a place Of record in some
corner of your Journal and be rescued
from oblivion.
In the year 1898 when patriotic feel.
ing pervaded the country, and when
there were several parties in the field,
Mr.. Fox, young player, who was
more admired for his vocal than histri-
onic powers, called one morning upon
his friend, Mr.. H., and, after stating
that the following evening had been
appointed for his benefit, and express
ing great fear for the result, as not a
single box had been taken, begged his
friend to do something in his behalf.
"If," said Fox, "you will write me
some patriotic verses to the tune of the
Presidents March, feel sure of n full
house. Several of the people about
the theatre have attempted il; but
they have come to the conclusion that
it cannot be done, yet | think you
may succeed" MIR. Fl. consented to
make trial, and requested Fox to
call in the evening to judge of the re.
suit.
Mr.. Hopkinson retired to his study
and in short time wrote the frs
verse and chorus, which were submit
ted to Mrs. Hopkinson, who sung then
to piano accompaniment, and Prove,
the measure and music to be compati
! bic and in keeping. In this way tn

GO TO CHURCH.

There is no one thing which helps
to establish mans standing in society
more than a steady attendance at the
house of worship, and proper regard
for the first day Of the week. Every
head Of a family should go to church,
as an example to its members and ev-
cry branch of family should go to
church in imitation Of the example OF
parents who loved them and watched
over their best interests. Lounglng IN
streets and bar-rooms on the Sabbath,
is abominable, and deserves execration;
because, it lays the foundation of hab-
its which ruin one, body and SOUL
Many young man can date the com.
mencement Of a course OF dissipation
which made him a burden to himself
and his friends, and an object of pity
to his enemies, to his Sunday debau-
cherry. Idleness is the mother Of drum
kenness-the Sabbath is to young peo-
pie, generally, an idle day; therefore
if it be not properly kept, it were bet
ter struck out Of existence. II rs good
to keep the Sabbath, because the laws
of God and man ordain that it should
be kept. The man that will not abide
by the laws is bad mana bad man
is a pest to society-a pest TO soci-
ETY. must be cut off; therefore, the
Sabbath breaker must die for his sins.
Go to churchill you are a young
man just entered on business, il will es.
tablish your credit. What capitalist
would not sooner trust new beginner
who, instead of dissipating his time, his
character and his money, in dissolute
company, attended to his business on
week days, and on the Sabbath appea-
red at the house Of God. Go to church,
with contrite heart, and bending a
knee at the throne Of your maker, pour
a sincere thank offering for the mer-
| cies ofthe past week.
| Go TO church, ladies', and remember
that religion most adorns the female
character.

informs us that Gen. Scott is at that
post, who recently returned from tour
in Georgia, and from official accounts
there were four thousand two hundred
Cherokees collected, and every reasu
to believe there are now quietly collec.
ted about six thousand.
II is confidently believed not more
than five hundred Of the Gcorgia Indi-
ans remain to be collected.
The Tennessee Indians wero volun-
tarly coming in on the invitation Of
the Commanding General, and there
is not doubt they might soon be col.
lectod without the slightest violence or
discontinue to the Indians.
1t is ascertained from all quarters
that the address Of Gen. Scott to the
Indians, together with his general or.
der, has had the happiest effect IN in-
ducing them to come in from all quar-
tiers.
On the 18th inst. the collection will
commence in the North Carolina and
Alabama Districts, and there is scarce.

FLOOD IN THE JUNIATA.

A letter published in the Philadel-
phia Inquirer Of Monday contains the
following account Of the destructive
flood which has overwhelmed the town
Of Hollidaysburg and its vicinity:
HARRIsBURG, June %, 1888.
DEAR Sin The news relative TO
the destruction OF the Canal, by the
flood on the Juniata, is confirmed by
the intelligence received this after
noon.
About thirty three miles Of the Ca.
nal this side Of lIollidaysbufg isrendcr-
ed useless, or almost totally destroyed.
Three dams, three locks, three lock
houses, and one aqoeduct are destroy
ed; the canal towing path swept away
in many places, and the canal CON-
pletely filed up. besides other heavy
damages.
There is also immense damage done
to private property along the line, and
lives lost. A number Of canal boats
laden are either destroyed or greatly
injured together with their cargoes.-
In some places they have been crushed,
and in others driven for rods from the
canal, and lodged in the fields.
The food was sudden visitation,
and is supposed to have proceeded from
waterspouts in the mountains.- am
informed by person who has passed
over the scene Of min, that no adequate
description can be given.
In Hollidaysburg, not only the ware
houses we've half covered with water
but a large portion Of the town was in
undated, and number Of buildings
either destroyed or swept away.

The tide wns low and at the place

to resist, and were swept away from
the shore. The eldest saw them s,rug.
Cling and made an effort to save them.

away by the current, and all three
persisted.
They were all very young, between
the years of IL and 10, as We are in

Oh no, said Mr.. Slick, certainly not,

but we got detained longer than we
expected, | am sorry that -. So

keep an inn when he has no occasion

Here the Clockmaker, seeing storm
gathering, stopped down suddenly, and
starting intently, held out his hand and
exclaimed, well, if that amt beauti-

are all as pale as chalk, or as yaller
as an orange. Lord that are little
Teller would be show in our country
come 10 me my man. Here the
'soft sawder" began to operate. Mrs.
Pugwash said in milder tone than we
had yet heard. SEQ my dear to the
gentlemen-go DEAR" Mr.. Slick kis-
sed him, asked him if he would go to
the States along with him, for they
didn't see such beautiful face once
in month ofSundays. Black eyes
let me see,-ah mammals eyes too,
and black hair also, as am alive !;
why you are mammals own boy, the
very image ofmamma. Do be seated,
gentlemen, said Mrs. Pugwash-Sally,
make a fire in the next room. She
ought to be proud ofyou, he continued.
Well, if | live to return here, | must
paint your face, and have it to put on
my clocks, and our folks will buy the
clocks for the sake of the face. Did
you ever see, said he, again addressing
me, such likeness between one per-
son and another, as between this beau
tiful boy and his mother. | am sure
you have had no supper, said Mrs.
Pugwash to me; you must be hungry
and weary, too. will give you a
cup Of tea. | am sorry to give you
so much trouble, said |. Not the least
trouble in the world, she replied, on
the contrary pleasure.
We were then shown into the next
room, where the fire was now blazing
up, but Mr.. Slick protested he could
no, proceed without the little boy, and
fingered behind me TO ascertain his
age, and concluded by asking the
child if he had any aunts that looked
like mamma.
AS the door closed, Mr.. Slick said,
it's pity she don't go well in gear.
The difficulty with those critters is to
get them to start, after that there is no
trouble with them if you don't check
'em too short. II you do they'll stop
again, run back and kick like man, and
then Old Nick himself wouldn't start
'em. Pugwash, | guess, don't UNDER
stand the nature of the critter; she'll
never go kind in harness for him.

ker, always feel safe with these wo-
men folk, for have always found that
the road to woman's heart lies thro'
her child.-Sam Slick.

Cool WATER.-The Philadelphia
Ledger suggests the following mode
of keeping water cool In warm wea-
Their.
Let the jar, pitcher, or vessel used
for water, be surrounded with one or
more folds Of coarse cotton, to be kept
constantly wet. The evaporation OF
the water from this will carry off the
heat from the water inside, and soon
reduce it almost to the freezing point.
In India and other tropical regions,
where ice cannot be procured, this
practice is common. Let every me-
chanic or laborar have at his place oil
employment two pitchers thus proyi-
ded, and with lids or covers, the one 10
contain water for drinking, the other
for evaporation, and he can always
have supply of cold water in warm
weather. Any person can test this by
dipping a finger in water and holding
it in the air on a warm day. After
Going this three or four times, he will
find his finger uncomfortably cold.
