Spectaeles, as they possess many advanta-

Steamboats, ON the Western waters
From biographical sketch of the life OF
Capt. Robinson De Hart, by Louisville and
papers, we CLEAN some interesting
incidents connected with the early history of
stsamboating on the Western Waters.
The FIRST steamboat that foated on the
Western Rivers was the "New Orleans" and
built at Pittsburgh in 1911, by Robert Full
ton, and commanded by DIR. De Hart. The
Vesuvius was built subsequently, and deemed
a fast boat. Her speed, however, may be in.
ferred from the following statement. "The
steamer Washington was built in 1916 and
commanded by Capt. H. M. Shreve who in
1917 made the wonderful trip from Louisville
to New Orleans and back in As days, beat
ing the Vesuvius on bet of $1,000, and was
treated to public dinner by the people OF
Louisville, having by this feat convinced the
dispairing public, that steamboat navigation
would succeed on the Western Waters
The machinery for the "New Orleans" was
brought across the mountains from New
York by horse and OK teams. She was wreck
ed near New Madrid, at the time of the mem.
orable earthquake at that place, in a storm
that occurred simultaneously with the shock.
The enterprise" and one other small
craft was built, at Pittsburgh, and freighted
with cannon for New Orleans, and afterwards
used in the TRANSFORMATION of troops durinp
the battle of New Orleans.

This individual, who has recently intro
duced himself into notoriety by constituting
himself President of the new Republic on
the Pacific, is represented to possess many
ennobling elements of character, and il de-
scribed by the Richmond Mail as being a
regular Locomotive-Y Yankee. He is of Scotch
origin and was raised in Nashville, Tennes-
see. He was ever known by his classmates
as "Billy," abbreviated more on account of
his youth than any familiarity with them
He took his degree at the age of sixteen, and
attracted great attention, by beautiful clas-
steal speech on Texas independence. His
revolutionary ideas evinced in this produc-
ton of his youth, were extremely novel, and
an apt precuxser Of his recent adventures.
He directed bis attention first to the study
of medicine, and took degree in Philadcl-
pha, and also in Paris. He soon abandon
ed pills for the profession of law, and became
somewhat eminent as a bar-lawyer in the
city of New Orleans. He figured in politics
largely, and soon become enamored OF the
editorial chair. Afterwards becoming more
reckless he married lovely Virginia lady,
went to California, and is now President OF
one-horse Republic. His life has been
we'll spiced with variety-being only thirty
years Of age now.

this work, all differing, and all of different
merits. The one acted at New York had a
run of over an hundred nights. 1t was de-

US the Drama as produced by this company,
has distinguishing merit.
The Madison Banner devotes a column to
this company, and thus closes:

in it. We have realized its spell. We saw
flooded eyes and starting tears attest the i'm
pressiveness of this drama. We can only
advise our readers to witness it for themselves,
and suppose nearly every one of them will do
so.
This is a moral drama, and we understand
there is nothing in the whole play to which
the most moral may object. Probably the
best proof of this is, that in several cities in
Northern Ohio, it has been acted in churches.

TIE New YORK CANALs.-It is probable
the canals will not be opened before the first
of May, as the great quantity of frost remain
ing in the ground, in consequence of the very
little snow that fell during the past season,
renders it impracticable to open them before
that date. 1t 10 claimed that there 10 more
frost in the ground at the present time then
there has been for the last twenty years.

FATAL AccIDENr.-On Monday last, man
by the name of John Fraiks, engaged at the
Lock on the Rapids above this town, was kill
ed while in the act of opening the gates to
permit the steamer Jenny Lind to pass down.
Before the lockman was ready, the boat ran
against the gates throwing them open, caus-
ing the capsil to fly around, an arm of which
struck FraikS on the head, killing him almost
instantly.
Much censure is attached to the pilot Of
the Jenny Lind. Instead Of entering under
full steam as he did, the law requires that he
should back the boat in, stern foremost.
Had the lockman done his duty by raising
the shield, the reel lessness of the pi.
lot would have sunk the boat, without causing
the loss of life-I M Carmel Req.

rPoliteness, that cementer of friendship
and soother of enemies, is no where so much
required and so frequently outraged as in
family circles; in near and dear connections
it is continually abandoned, and the result is,
that all the illusions of life are destroyed, and
with them, much of its happiness.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN AN INDIANA
COURT.-The Richmond Palladium of lust
week, gives the following account OF a very
singular scene which occurred on the open
ing of the court in Newcastle, Henry county,
indiana:
At Newcastle we found quite an excite
ment existing in regard to the President,
Judge Anthony. The court met on Monday
morning, but before proceeding to business,
member OF Henry county Bar presented a
petition, signed by every member of the Bar
in that court, asking in most respectful terms
his Honor to resign his seat upon the bench.
The gentleman vino presented the petition
stated, however, that in case he would not
resign the petitioners had agreed among them.
selves that they would not do any business in
the court So long Us he presided. A mother
gentleman addressed the court, re-assertng
the determination they had agreed to, and
urged in very plain terms the necessity of a
resignation. Another followed, expressing
The high personal respect he entertained for
the Judge as q gentleman and a n-keeper,
but justice required him to say that he rega rd-
ed the present incumbent of the bench as ut
terly unqualified for the place he occupied,
and hope he would resign. He was followe ed
by another, and he by another, and he by an.
other, until every member had in plain terms
expressed his opinion as to his incapacty,
&c.
With nenchalance peculiar to his Honor,
he told the gentleman of the Bar that he
would think OF the matter, and in the mean
time would proceed to business. He called
the cases upon the docket, and every case
which had not been compromised was coatin.
ued until the next term oil the court. Court
was adjourned for dinner, and in the after
noon petition signed by the jury was pre-
scented to the Judge. asking him to resign.
His Honor asked time to consider when the
lawyers proposed to him that, if he would
agree in writing never to come to that county
again for the purpose of holding court, and
would send some one in his place, they would
be content to drop the matter, SO far as they
were concerned. The Judge again took the
matter under aduiSemeat, and, we are told
finally promised never to come to that coun-
ty again for the purpose of ing court, un-
I'll he should be sent for, and would send
some other Judge of the Court of Com.
mon Pleas TO hold court in his stead. So
ended the matter for the present.
Not one word by way of justification Of the
course OF the attorneys is required of us. Al
who know any thing Of the Judge will sus.
tain the plea of full Justification.

ITEMS FROM vIECENL
by JINGO.-

The principal occurrence which has enliv-
ened our city recently, was the Odd Fellows
celebration. Notwithstanding the day open
cd with a very unfavorable morning, there
was large attendance of the fraternity from
neighboring lodges. Among the distinguish
ed brethren present, were Hen. w. X. Ed
wards, Mayor of Terrs Huute, and Rev.
George B. Jocelyn, of Centervlle, Ind. A
very numerous delegation was present from
Evansville, and, also, a respectable number
of very respectable brethren from Washing
ton, Ind, and Lawrencevile and Russleville,
Ill. These, added to the large number of
members belonging to our Lodge here, form
ed one of the longest and most imposing pro-
cessons ever witnessed in our city. Headed
by the Evansville Brass Band, the process
sion marched through our principal streets,
much to the admiration of "outside" citizens
and strangers. The Grafton pronounced by
brother Jocelyn, is universally commended.
| will forbear attempting sketch of it, at
this time, as it will probably be published en-
tire-at least, all who heard il, very much de-
sire that it may. The Grafton was well con-
ceived, and eloquently enunciated. No one,
however much he may be opposed to the or
der Of Odd Fellowship, could have objected
to single part of the address.
The exercises at the church being conclu.
ded, the procession was formed again, and
marched TO the "AMERIcAS HOTEL" where
one Of the best dinners ever discussed any
where, was served up, under the superinten.
dence of that "landlord of landlords" John
NJ. Clark. The tables were arranged anC
decorated in the most tasteful and splendid
modern style. You are sufficiently acquaint.
ed with the "American" to know in VIVA,
manner the "fat things" are served up at that
house. 1t was very superb-elegant-exc
lent. Altogether, the celebration is conce.
ded to have excelled any thing of the kind
ever gotten up in this place.
