The origin Of the name Boston, as az.
Piled TO game at cards, is mentioned in
the memories OF Count Segur This per.
sonagc, with the Viscount NoaiIlcs, pro.
posed to come to America with Lafayette
at the besinning of our revolution. The
project being found out, the French gov.
ernment, then at peace with England, in
tcriercd, and Of the three, Lafayette was
the only one that escaped from arrest and
found his way TO the United States, where
he became the companion aud pupil OF
Washington. Afterwards when France
sent an army to aid our cause, the Count
Scgur came with il, and served under Ro-
chambeau, with the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel. His memoirs, which we happen
ed to meet with recently for the first time,
contain many interesting records Of our re-
volu'ionary struggle, with graphic sketches
OF the principal men who led our troops in
that war.
The first application of the term Boston
to game of cards, is stated by him as fol-
lows:
at was at Spa that | learned for the
hrst time the events which Indicated AN
approaching and mighty revolution in A.
merica. The town Of Boston was the frs,
theatre of this sanguinary conflict between
Great Britain and her colonies. The first
cannon shot fired in that hemisphere in de-
fence Of the standard of liberty resoupded
throughout Europe with the rapidity of
81 recollect that the Americans were
then styled insurgents and Bos,onians; their
daring courage electrified every mind and
excited universal admiration, more particu-
larly among young people, who always
feel an inclination or novelties and an ca
gcrness for battles. In the small town of
Spa, in which were collected together so
many travellers, or casual and voluntary
deputies, as 1t were, from every European
monarchy, Twas very much struck on OBJ
serving the unanimous burst Of so lively
and general an interest in the rebellion of a
people against sovereign.
"The American insurrcction was every
where applauded, and became as il were,
u fashion; the Scientific EneE-i- sonic OF
whist made way, on a sudden. in every
circle, for game equally serious, which
received the name of Boston. This impulse
of feeling, however triAng may appear,
was remarkable forerunner ofthc mighty
convulsions that were about to shake the
whole world; and was very far from be-
ing the only one whose heart then beat at
the sound of liberty just waking from its
slumbers and struggling to throw off the
yoke Of arbitrary power"

A few days since, on beard stc.n,s-
from Memphis to Cincinnati. was vsrv
large crowd Of passengers. Our attention
was drawn to the unusual number Of M.
sengers hocking below on deck; with tho
captain and two or three officers of the
ooat, we joined the crowd in search Of IN
incident to drive away the monotony ar i
steamboat trip. Arriving at the SPOT which
seemed the centre Of tho excitc,nen.. ~.
found man in quaker like attire sitting ur-
ON large chest, declaring that il should
not be broken open unless they killed him.
Soon from the chest, as il in distress W.,
heard voice apparently Of colorcd pcr.

"Look here, my friend" says the car.
tain. you'll have to get of that chest,
"l'll be darned if do" he replies.
"oh, dear! let me out. let me out" can,c
distinctly from the chest, as if in apparent
suilocation.
Mate said the captain, "brinr some
men, take that pcrsonolF the chest and break
it open"
The person showing fight, was seized bv
the passengers. all believing no was carry.

and provided. The mate seized an iron h.r
and forced 1t between the lid and BODY az

Quite an intense feeling was now raisoi
IN the crowd. when the mate forced of ,bc

demonlac laugh came from tho old clothss
with which it was filled, and no sign or
appearance of any living thing. Amaze.

ASTOUNDING INvENTIoN-Wc notice AN
invention by Mr.. Solomons, Of Cincinnati,
of what he calls a perfect substitute for
steam! From common whiting, sulphu-
ric acid and water, he obtains carbon in the
gaseous state; and with the power exertcd
by this gas, he asserts that he now drives
25-horse engine, and for one -foriicth the
expense OF steam, lifts and lets fall 1000
pounds five times in minute This fluid i,
without any heat applied at all, exerts a
pressure of $40 pounds to the square inch,
while water in the same unheated state has
no pressure but that of gravity. Water,
heated to the boiling point, yields power
Of fifteen pounds. This fluid, with the
same heat. would yield power Of nearly
IL, 900 pounds! And what is more, hand
full Of charcoal, and boiler the size Of
tea-kittle, will produce at an expense Of a
few cents. the whole Of this tremendous
