or Some ingenious Yankee has
sent to the National Fair at Washing
ton, a boat 80 feet long, S feet wide,
and made of four sheets Of copper
stamped in 40 minutes to its present
shape by powerful machinery. 1t is
impossible for any number of persons
to sink her--her strength is four-fold
greater than wooden boats. ltrequires
one-third less power to propel to the
same speed as wood. The copper az
ter any number of years wear, will
sell for three-fourths of its first cost
The weight is one-third less than wood
and The water is absorbed--ro caulk-
ing, renailing or painting is needed.
Gigs, cutters, barges, quarter, race,
row, club aud duoking boats, from ten
to sixty feet, made with copper or iron
without seams, and up TO 30 feet long
are made in four pieces. The
strength has been fully tested by dash
ing them on the rocks and running
them against stone piers. They can
not leak or sink.

EUGENE SUE AND THE UNKNOWN
1t has been common, says the Paris
ian Journal dcs Debts, for the great
novelist Notwithstanding his reputa-
ton as man of fashion, to spend
much of his time in the garrets of the
city, relieving the poor, and at the
same moment gathering deep knowl-
edge of human nature. On a dark
sleety night, last November, he was
standing in one of the most wretched
holes in Paris, where a poor widow
and her two Children were lying in
state Of shocking restitution. They
were without bread, or covering or
fire, and the beauty of one of the
children, girl of some fifteen added
interest to the scene. Sue gave them
some money, and left, resolved to call
next day. He did call, and, to his ut
ter astonishment, found the widow and
her children surrounded with all the
comforts Of life fire on the hearth,
buckets Of bread, Bologna sausages in
proiusion, and in fact every thing ne
cessary to make home happy. In the
midst Of profusion stood young man,
very handsomely dressed. He was
the cause of this sudden relief; the
widow and her daughters blessed him
with tears In their eyes. Eugene Sue
was much struck by this token Of feel
ing in one so young, brilliant and gay.
When the young fashionable left, he
followed, determined to ascertain his
residence, and after much trouble saw
him enter carriage, near the palace
Vendome, and drive to the Chaussee
dAntin. Sue followed, saw the
stranger enter the Due dc R. lie
waited an hour for.his Temperance,
and at last beautiful young lady Of
high rank came out Of the hotel and
entered her carriage. Ia that lady, Sue
recognized the handsome dandy, but
the Princess d'Orleans, one of the
daughters ofLouis Philippe! She had
visited the poor widow in disguise,
dressed in a white sack Of peculiar
make-the same in which she tried to
rescue Louis Napoleon at Ham, some
months ago.
