STEAMBOATS, BURNED.-The Steamer Oliver Ander-

fort, totally destroyed by fire on the 18th. She
had about 100 passengers and was loaded with hemp,
rope and bagging. Considerable of the passengers
baggage lost, but no lives.
The steamer Boreas No. 2, was burned few days
since, at Herman, on the Missouri river. She was
heavily freighted and had great number of passen-
gers, many of them Sante Fe Traders. One of the
latter, Mr. Weathered, lost $4,000 in gold and sill
yer. None of the passengers saved more than the
clothes they could hastily throw around them. The
books of the boat were consumed. No lives were
lost

ILLINOIS CANAL.-Repeated complaints are made

prosecution of the Illinois Canal. The N. Y. News
of May 9th, says
.Great dissatisfaction prevails in relation to the
Illinois canal business, and an instance of sharp
practice in the of the Trustees of the canal is
calculated to make bonGholders open their eyes, Il
appears that some time ago of the present con-
tractors the canal named Bracken, was indebted
to relative of one of the present trustees By the
law the contractors forbidden assign their
tracts but the contractor in question assigned the
moneys coming to him to one M'Grath. In the mean
tme the canal trustee living in this city became the
assignee of the creditor Of the contractor. In mis-
quality of trustee he draws the bondholders for the
funds to carry the canal, and in his quality of as
sgnee attaches those funds for the benefit of the rea
tive The law requires that the money shall be paid
to the contractors an Illinois; consequently the attach
ed funds are not the property Of the contractor until
paid over according to law. The operation is there
fore to attach moneys that to be the property

FLOWERS IN BEDRooMs.-A ridiculous paragraph
is published in some of the papers, that young lady
who went to bed in good health was found dead the
next morning because she had several flowers in pots
in her bedroom Any person who knows anything
all of physiology will be at that such
thing is impossible. To sleep in hot house, or
green house, might be pernicious, because In those
confined places the proportion of the gases in the ar
is not true-and therefore the atmosphere would be
unwholesome, though not a BIT than IN four
bedrooms out Of every fire where people think they
sleep very comfortably.
In the beautiful ordinations of natural economy
those qualities of the air superabundance of which
is pernicious to animal life, readily taken up for
the nutriment of plans-and rice Versa. Instead OF
there being any danger, therefore, in keeping flowers
in ones room, they beneficial. People who have
flowers So may die in the Of the night, they
may rise with disagreeabe lassitude in the morn
ing, but such death weakness will have nothing
to do with the fowers.-Brooklyn Eagle.
O5-The above is fair specimen of scientific blum
derng. If the doctrine. thus apparently based upon
scientific facts really true, the interminable
swamps of Florida would be the very heathiest spots
in the world. Every one, of the least practical
knowledge, cannot fail to the abusurdity of the
conclusion. False applications of scientific facts and
principles often lead to the most dangerous results
and in nothing more than in matters pertaining to
health This is the rock upon which most therapeutic
systems wrecked.
