upon tho unabridged Quarto Dictionary of the
English Ian guage, by Noah Webster The word
unabridged las been purposely employed, because
if such work is wanted for any but the very
lowest uses-those Of mere photography or or
thoepy--it cannot be too copious and comprehen-
sive. When one is ignorant of the proper and
precise powers of word, he cannot endure to be
turned over to an abridgment that gives him a
synonym, instead of definition; but he demands
TO know as much as anybody knows OF its history
or etyrnoogy and all its different shades of mean
ing. Then only can he employ il with confidence
and effect, as mighty weapon for the expression
of intellect or passion.

ness satisfies the wants of the inquirer, and their

Arthur was too full to say any thing in re-
ply. lie felt the kindness Of Mr.. Williams to
the depth of his heart, and as his employer cor
daily shook his hand he respectfully bowed
and went into the shop.
The workmen wondered what had happened
they had too much good sense to ask any in
trusive questions.
Some ten years had passed, when one day Mr.
Williams saw the announcement in several of
the daily journals that Arthur Appleton, of
Ohio had arrived and put up at one Of the ho-
| tells. Mr. Williams had been expecting him, as
a correspondence had been maintained between
them for the last five years, during which Ar
thur had been in the West. He was in busi-
ness, had been prosperous, and was at the time
n member of the Legislature With no small
degree of pride Mr. Williams met his appren-
| tice at the hotel, and had long and agreeable
conversation with him. Arthur learned that
Jones was still foreman, and had saved snug
sum; several of the old hands were still in the
shop, and some of the boys had served out their
time and were doing well

The FIRST STEAMBOAT ON THE OHIO RIVER.
Mr. Editor:--As there are many erroneous opin-
ions .extant concerning the first steamboat built
on the Western waters, the undersigned would
like you to publish their evidence in the matter
In the fall Of 1911, we were both present at
the launching of the first steamer built on the
Ohio river, and on board of her. She was built
at the Pipetown shipyard at Pittsburg was in
tended for the Pittsburg and New Orleans trade,
and called the :. Orleans" She was built after
the fashion of ship, with PORTFOLIOS in the side
long bowsprit-p painted sky-blue. Her cabin
was in the hold.
She left in November of that year QSll) for
New Orleans, and made the trip down in safety,
but was never able to get back over the Falls,
her 20 ower not being sufficient to propel her
against n strong current. She continued to run
bel ow the Falls for some time.
Many persons are of the opinion that the
| Enterprise was the first boat built for the above
trade. Such is not the fact. The Enterprise
was the fourth or fifth boat built. The names
of the others were the Etna and Vesuvius, huil
by company who had charter for fourteen
years, renewable, for the sole navigation, by
steam, of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The
Enterprise was built at Brownsville by pri-
vate company and on her arrival at New Or
leans was attached for an infringement of the
chartered rights of the company A legal in.
vestigation followed, and the owners of the En-,
terprise gained the suit by proving that the
plaintiffs had violated their charter. Thu.
ended the steamboat monopoly on the Ohio ant
Mississippi rivers J. WINToN,
