The Ono RIvER.-The PROPOSE
tien to improve the navigation of tn
Ohio river by damming up its wa
tiers and constructing great reser
voirs, is a novel and a bold one; bu
novelty and boldnessl are not obiec
tons TO great projects in this ceun
try, especially in the western par
il. Mr.. Ellet, an engineer Of rep
utation, has expressed the opinion
that for quarter of a million Of dol,
lars he can secure a depth Of two
feet Of water in the Ohio at all sea.
sons. aad for half a million a depth
of four feet. The plan itself looks
practicable; but we cannot think
that the estimate is high enough.
Yet, even if the cost will very great
ly exceed the calculations Of the en-
gineer, a work Of such immense ad-
vantage may well be. undertaken,
! II it be practicable. The attention
OF the Western people once thor
oughly aroused TO the subject will
not be withdrawn until The mode
oil accomplishing il has been agreed
upon. The change which such an
improvement would effect would be
second only to that effected by the
introduction of steam navigation.
And when il has been accomplish
ed, people will wonder that work
OF so great importance and SO SIM
pie was so long delayed.
The enormous trade of the Wes-
tern waters is annually swelling the
industrial statistics OF the country.
Every year adds new millions 10 its
value, and increases the demand for
every practicable improvement for
its security and for the facility OF
carrying it on. The wealth which
is constantly borne on the Western
rivers is almost beyond calculation;
and every year this immense trade
is impeded, and this vast wealth is
jeoParded, by The falling Of :he wa
tiers, whose wasted tides, if kept
back in the season Of freshels, would
suffice TO hold afoat at all times
the whole of the great inland ma
vies which ride upon them. Steam
boats have been constructed OF such |
surprisingly light draught that il has
been said that they would float
wherever there was little dampness,
and many Of them keep off the ground |
10 almost every stage Of the water.
But these are Of course able to trans
port but little freight, and that of
light character; and passengers can
travel on them with very little
;omlort.--PrOvideHce Journal. 8I

CRIFIcIsM.--An editor in Illinois
speaks of one Of his contributors in
the following complimentary terms;
san interesting femaIecorrespon-
dent sends very uninteresting piece
otpoetry, and timidly lisps a reques,
for its publication. The moon is call
ed bright--the stars are fattered
with the original appeIlation oil
simeek-eyed"-the trees come in for
a.full share Of eulogy, and the Fall
ing Spring is pronounced silver
plated, or something to that effect.
Besides this, the poem is equally in
structiye on other important SUBJ
jscts. II Mary will send us an affi-
davit that she has washed her dishes,
mended her hose, and swept the
house the week after she was "blast.
cd with poetic fire." we will give in,
and startle the literary world from
its 'lethargy. For the present we
say. darn your stockings, and darn
your poetry too." ~ aie

When from their bed of dropping dew,
The flowers in verdant beauty rise;
When forest birds salute the sun,
Which beams DER rock, and vale anc

Then, Mary, then, remember mel
When Ger the earth his noontide rays,
Apollo from his chariot yields;
When peep the bright-eyed crimson

Through the green velvet ofthe fields;
When Ger the gay and blooming earth
The zephyrs murmur bright and free,
And wave the locks above your brow

When eventide across the West,
Her fringe of living glory throws,
And purples DER the cheek of heaven
With tints as lovely as the rose;

Whene'er happy hour may be,

Barnaln,s FIrst Operation.

q P. I. Barnum, Of the New York
Museum, and now the Protege Of
Jenny Lind, is the greatest profes-
sional Snowman in the world, and
certainly the most successful money
making man at this time in Amer
lea. Whatever he touches literally
turns TO gold. His lease OF Tom
Thumb, his tour through Europe,
his entrance to Queens palaces and
entertainments to crowned heads,
was thought the chief de azure Of
Snowman; but his late engagement
and consequent succoss with Jenny,
throws the Tom Thumb ieat into the
shade. He cleared half million
with Tom; he will clear a million
and half with Jenny; and still his
Museum, clearing from $500 to $500
per day, is his main dependence for
wealth.

His "frst operation, however,
exhibits best the genius Of the man.
Most Clevelanders will remember a
few wears ago a small drove Of Buffa-
loes passed through this city on their
way east to be exhibited, but the
owner being no Snowman could not
pay expenses with them, and when
he got TO Utica they were seized
and sold at Constables sale to pay
the owners debts. Barnum, hear
ing Of this, lost no time in buying
said Buffaioes, getting them cheap.
He took them to Hoboken, where
be hired them kept, saying nothing
to nobody. tI y
He next went TO all the ferrymen
on the river and asked about what
their daily receipts were. Ascer-
tanning that, he proposed to charter
their services Cor single day, pay
ing them a slight increase above or
dinary receipts. To this they as
sented, and he bound the bargain by
advancing a portion Of the pay

Long years have aown since last we met
And many smile and tear
Have marked the days, the hours, the

Ofeach revolving year.
I've tried-oh, vainly tried to blot,
Thy memory from my heart;
But changing scenes oflife will not
Forgetfulness impart.
For mid the merry laugh ofsong,
My fancy hears tone
Ofthat lov'd voice whose echoes long
Have slept in memOry's throne.

A cheering hope is given,
That though we part here in this life,

PRINCE ALBERT ON SIR r. PEEL
Prince Albert, at grand banquet
given by the Mavor Of London, made
the following remarks concerning the
late Sir Robert Peel: -. 31' f-1"ta-
h The constitution Of Sir Robert
Peers mind was peculiarly that of a
statesman, and Of an English states
man. He was liberal from feeling,
but conservative upon principle
Whilst his impulse drove him 10 fos-
ter progress, his sagacious mind and
great experience showed him how
easily { h e whole machinery Of a
State and Of society is defanged,
and how important, but how diff
cult also, it is tc direct its fur,
ther development in accordance
with its fundamental pri ciples,
like organic growth in nature. 1t
was peculiar to him that in great
things as in small, all the difficulties
and objections occurred TO him first.
He would anxiousIy consider them,
se,and warn against rash resolu-
lions, but having convinced himself
after long and careful investigation
that step was not only right to be
taken, but of the necessity and duty
to take it, all his caution and sppa-
rent .timidity changed into courage
and power Of action, and at the same
time, readiness TO make any person
al sacrifices W hich b its execution
might demand. oa s.t.la-.sre
