A NOVEL INVITATION CARD Near the
close of the revolutionary war, John Hancock
gave party at Concert Hall, in Boston. 1t
was impossible to procure plain white cards
for the invitations and as the use of cards was
the fashion of the period, Hancock had the in
vtations printed Oh the back of pla,un 9 cards.
The checkered figures thereon did not add to the
beauty or clearness of the impression. A friend
has recently brought one of these cards for
our inspection. The invitation was sent to
the grandpare of the Hon. Samuel H. Wal.
ley, member of Congress from the Fourth Dis
trict 1t is printed on the back of the fou,
spot of clubs. and reads as follows:
Mr. j. Hancock presents his compliments
Thomas Valley, Esq, and lady and daughters
and requests the favor of their company at a
BALL, on Wednesday evening next, six O'clock
at Concert Hall.
Thursday, November 10th, 1880"
OF course Hancock did not use either the
king, queen or knave of the pack for invita-
ton cards. Illuminated cards had not come
into fashion at the period when Queen street in
Boston was changed to Court street, and King

An Excursion Boat SNampedrFiveP Per.
SONS Drowned.

On Thursday evening, about : 10 o'clock, a
row boat crossing from Fort Lee to Carmans-
vile, North River,) was swamped, with nine
persons on board, five of whom were drowned.
The party consisted of five females and four
males.
The sunken boat was one of two boats which
had been on a private picnic excursion to Fort
Lee. 1t had nearly reached shore when the
accident happened.
The swapping was occasioned, in part, by
the unseaworthy condition of the boat though
the immediate cause was the surge from q
small trcighting steamer, which Was on an eX-
cursion itself at the time of the catastrophe.
No blame is atgachable however, to the COM
mander Of the steamboat, or any one else, SO
far as our reporter could learn.
The affair came as a sad check to the hilar-
ity of the occasion. The boat, which was un-
disturbed, having got separated from the 9TH
or, those on board were engaged in the pleas
ures Of a merry dance at the Time Of asccr-
tanning the mournful fate of their fellow ex-
cursionists. Their grief may better be mag
ncd than described. Their joy was at once

Progress.

Who can doubt, after viewing the many
magnificent enterprises that have been CONS
menced in this age, that we are emphatically
living at period Of the worlds most rapid
progress. In every branch of industry, in
the arts and sciences, this truth is daily de-
monStrated and to such all extent has it
urged itself forward, that it not unfreGuent-
ly happens that the youthful aspirant for
/ place cries out make way for Young Ameri-
ca" as he attempts to crowd off of the track
/ those of ripper years, whose experience would
/ the better adapt them for the transactions Of
any business, the accomplishment of which
maturcd minds were necessary. 1t is true
that in many instances there are young men,
the precOciousncsSO of whose minds at twenty
five better qualify them for the transaction
of arduous mental labor, than others at forty
five. Bat us a general rule, we doubt
whether this is the case. Take the lives of
a majority of the eminent men vino have
graced the pulpit, the bench, or the councils
OF the nation, Whose researches have
brought to light some new discovery in the
arts and sciences, and you will find that few,
: comparatively speaking, have attained much
distinction before reaching the middle of life.
While the spirit Of progress has caused to
build up our city and to rapidly fill our Ter
ritory with the young-men Of energy and
ablity-wc should also remember that the
same causes have contributed to induce to
pitch their tents here those of ripcr years
that the fact of merely being youthful does
not qualify individual forp;sis that SHOULD
be filled with men of sound Discretion
Youth is ever ardent, and frequently acts
without that reflection, that, as general
thing, charactcrizcs those who through long
years have been urging their way forward in
! the 'battle Of life" The mechanic, the
longer he shovcs his plane, or works at his
/ forge, better understands his calling; sowith
the divine, the lawer, and in fact 50 with all
classes of men; and as long and constant Pc
! search are essential to bring forward the hid
den creatures of the mind of the m.aa of sci
entiic pursuits, WHO has fixed high his mark
for distinction; so it is equally true in every
pursuit of iife-copScGucntly while We would
urge forward the young and ambitious, we
would at the same time not neglect the equal
ly deserving, merely Oh account OF age.
