B. L. & G. Schlesingers, of England, have
lately invented new article Of pen. It is de-
scribed as steel, coated with gutta percha, which
prevents its corroding even with the strong test
Of nitric acid It is also said to be pointed with
q circular piece Of platina, which makes it write
as smooth as lead pencil. The sole agent in
this city is Mr.. Joe. shllington, and the genuine
article can only be obtained of him. The price
is fifty cents per dozen, four dollars per gross.

greatly admire the facility with which the ink
flows from it, and the ease with which it passes
over the surface Of the paper.

The Hon. Robert Nj. McLane.

This gentleman is reported in the Delaware
Republican Of Monday, TO have said in speech
at Wilmington, on Saturday evening last, that
GENERAL SCOTT is EITHER A KNAVE OR
A FOOL, and that he could prone him to be A
LIAR, A THIEF, AND A COWARDl
Entertaining the opinion we do of the Hon.
r. M McLane, We must be permitted to hope
that his words have been misunderstood. We
have ever held him in kind and respectful esti
nation, and cannot believe he would thus wan
tonly descend from his high estate. The Repub.
hcan is o respectable and acute journal but the
best may err, and we sincerely hope it may appear
that It has erred in making this report.

The Steamboat Dfsnstors.

We learn that the Grand Jury of the United
States court for the southern district Of New
York have made presentment to the court on
the subject of the steamboat disasters which have
recently occurred upon the Hudson river They
attribute these disasters and their fatal results
to three principal causes. First, the constant
violation of the seventh section of the act Of Con-
gress of 1888, which requires all vessels pro-
PEELED by steam when stopped, for whatever pur-
pose, to blow off steam, SO as to keep the head
of steam as near as practicable to what it is when
the boat is in motion. Second, that all the boats
on the Hudson river are very insufhciently pro-
vided with any proper equipment either for ex-
tinguishing fire or for saving the lives of passen-
gers in case of disaster to the boat and, third,
to the fact that the practice of racing has become
of late very general and constant with the boats
on that river. The jury call the attention of the
law officers Of the United States to these state
ments.

A Buckeye IrishmanI

AT a recent Scott meeting in Warren county,
Ohio, there was procession of sixty-two Irish
men who in one body came to participate in the
celebration in honor of Gen. Scott Mr.. Wm.

county of Antrim, was introduced, and recounted
some of the incidents of his life, and his knoul-
edge Of Gen. Scott It appears that Mr.. Hill came
to this country with Moses Dawson, who was af-
forwards the biographer of Gen. VIM. H. Harri-
son, and a distinguished Democratic editor in
Cincinnati. He left Cincinnati, when the war
broke out in 1872, with the Packhorse Company,
under Capt. John H. Platt. He afterwards joined
the 18th regiment, under Col. Miller During

how he watched by his bedside when sick, visited
his quarters day by day, and gave him money to
take him back to Cincinnati when the prisoners
were exchanged Mr.. Hill was relating these
facts in the simple style of truthful and manly
eloquence, when some twenty or thirty misguided
fellow-Irishmen, who had no doubt been melted
to commit the insult in consequence of the sixty

claimed their devotion to Scott, interrupted the
speaker in a loud and boisterous manner-which

Mr.. J. D. Wallace, who is himself an Irishman

intelligent man, has always voted the Democratic
ticket, but has determined to support his old

commander We are glad to learn that this in
