INTERESTING ANECDOTE of FULTOl

INTERESTING ANECDOTE of fFULTON
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
publishes the following incident, as communi-
Gated by Mr.. w. Haskins:
Some twenty years since, l formed a.
travelling acquaintance upon steamboat, on
the Hudson river, with gentleman, who on
the occasion related to me some incidents OF
the first voyage of Fulton to Albany, in his
steamboat, the Clermont, which have never
met with elsewere. The gentleman's name
I have lost; but urged him at the time to
publish what he related, which, however, so
far as know, he has never done.
I chanced-said my narrator-to be at
Albany on business, when Fulton arrived
there in his unheard of craft, which every
bodv felt so much interest in seeing. Being
ready to leave, and hearing that this craft
was to return to New York, went on board
and inquired for Mr. Fulton. was referred

required the amount to be paid, and, after
n moments hesitation, sum, ! think SIX

upon it, he remained SO long motionless thai

The only hypothesis that France and Eng.
land may ever be allied with sincerity, will
be in order to prevent this. But even this al.
lance will not avail. France, England and
Prussia united cannot prevent it. Russia and
Austria can at any time effect it. Once mis-
tress Of Constantinople, Russia gets all the
commerce of the Mediterranean, becomes a
great naval power, and God knows what may
happen. She qurrels with you, marches off
to India an army Of 10000 good soldiers,
which to Russia is nothing, and 100000 can
allie, Cossocks and others, and England loses
India.
"Above all other powers, Russia is most to
be feared, especially by you. Her soldiers
are braver than the Austrans, and she has
means of raising as many as she pleases. In
bravery, the French and English soldiers are
the only ones to be compared with them. All
this foresaw. see into futurity further
than others, and wanted to establish bar
rier against those barbarians, by re-esta blish-
ing the Kingdom Of Poland, and putting Ponia-
towski at the head of It as king, but your nm
beetles Of ministers would not consent. A
hundred years hence shall be praised, len
cense,) and Europe, especially England, will
lament that did not succeed. When they
see the finest countries in Europe overrun,
and prey to those northern barbarians, they
will say Napoleon was right"

The progress of Russia during the last
hundred and fifty years, is strkingly shown
by the following facts which we condense
from the London Economist:-"Her popula-
tion (mainly arising from increase Of terri
tory has augmented thus: At the accession
Of Peter the Great, in 1889, it was 10 ,OOO, 900;
Catherine H., in 1862, 25,0O0,OO0; Paul in
1876, 36,000,000; Nicholas, in 1926, 58,000,-
600. By the treaty Of Neustadt, in 1921, g.
by subsequent treaty in 1929, she acquired
more than half the kingdom of Sweden, and
the command of the Gulf of Finland from
which before she was excluded. By the three
partitions Of Poland, in l772, 1893 and 1875,
and by the arrangements of 1915, she ac-
quired territory nearly equal in extent to the
whole Austrian empire. By various wars
and treaties with Turkey, in 1774, 1888 and
1879, she robbed her of territories eqval in
extent to all that remains of her European
dominions, and acquired the command Of the
Black Sea. Between 100 and 1914, she ac-
quired from Persia districts at least as large
as the whole Of England, and from Tartary
a territory which reaches over thirty degrees
of longitude. During this period of one
hundred and fifty years she has advanced her
frontier five hundred miles towards Con-
stantinople, six hundred miles towards Stock.
holm, seven hundred miles towards Berlin g.
Vienna, and one thousand miles towards
Teheran, Cabool and Calcutta. One only
acquisition she has not yet made, though
steadily pushing towards it, earnestly desir-
ing it, and feeling it to be essential to the
completion of her vast designs, and the
satisfaction of her natural and consistent
ambition-the possession, namely, of Con-
stantinople and Roumelia-whch would give
her the most admirable harbours, and the
command of the Levant, and would enable
her to overlap, surround, menace and embar-
rass all the rest of Europe. Did she possess
this, the geography of all the other great
states-England, France, Spain, Sweden
Austria and Prussia-might be thus simply
defined: "bounded by the sea on one side, &
by Russia on the other"

<It will all be right in the Morning.

cit will all be right in the morning.
WHEN the bounding beat of the heart ct love-
And the springng step, grow slow;
When the form of cloud in the blue above
Lies dark on the path below,
The song that he sings is lost in a slgh'
And he turns where STAR is dawning'
And he Thinks as it gladdens his heart and his eye;
1t will all be right in the morning'
When the strong man armed, in the midde-watcll,
From lite's dim deck is gazing,
And strives, through the wreck OF the tempest, 10
catch
A CLEAN of the day-beam's blazing;
Amid the wild storm, there hard by the helm'
He heeds not the dark ocean yawning; ..
For this SONG in his soul not sorrow can whelm;
1T will all be right in the morning'
When the battle is done, the harp unstrung,
Its music trembling--dying;
When his woes ore unwept, and his deeds unsung,
And he longs in the grave tobe lying,
Then VOICE shall charm, as it charmed before
He had wept or waited the dawning
'They do love there for aye--l'll be thine as o
yore-
1T will all be right in the morning!'
Thus all throug h the world by ship and by shores
Where the mother bends over
The cradle, whose tenant has gone on before;'
Where the eyes Of the lover
Light the way to the soul; whatever tho word'
A welcome, wall, or warming
THIS is every where cherished--this every where
heard:
twill all be right in the morning'

In some States, the laws require the

such statutory enactments: not SD before

Am interesting slave Case.


From a column of the New York Times, view-
ing recent slave trials, wetake the following re-
port Of a; case in Kentucky "a ssss. IS. 1
e Another remarkable item of slavery news, is
the late decision of Judge Crenshaw, of Kentucky.
The case was one of interest, and, of novelty too
II seems that Mrs Tigg, of that State, determi n
ed to send her slave, Ciarissa, to Philadelphia,
with arelative, Mrs. Alexander, as her waiter to
remain there over six months, if Mrs. A. should
find it convenient. She was aware that under
the law of Pennsylvania the slave would be en-
titled to her freedom if she did so, but concluded
to risk it. Clarissa was much attached to the
family, and believed that she was to be freed on
the death of her mistress. Having remained in
Philadelphia the appointed time she returned to
Kentucky, and again entered the service of Mrs.
Trigg. The latter having occasion to borrow
money Of her adopted daughter, secured the debt
by conditional bill of sale of her slave Clarissa,
never meaning, however, that she should be ac-
tually sold. Mrs. Trigg died, and in her will
liberated her other slaves, and made provisions
for the payment of the debt to her daughter, and
the emancipation of Clarissa. But the daughter
claims C1arissa as her property, and declines to
enter into the arrangement by which she may be
freed. At this point Clarissa institutes suit for
her freedom, relying principally upon the fact that
see had, with her mistress consent, remained in
in the State of Pennsylvania for more than six
months. The Judge decided that the laws of
Pennsy lvania had made her free, and that her
freedom went with her on her return to a slave
State. This decision is a very important one.
There are many new held as slaves, whose title
to their own freedom, under such decision, would
not be less clear than the title of masters to their
fugitive slaves, who have spent arespectable fife
time, and seen the coming and going of whole
generation, in some quiet, northern village, where
it has never been suspected that they were not
the owners of their own bodies.''
