Enough for One Bed,

Immigration to she State of Mich
igan was so great during the year 49,
35 and '36, that every house was filed
with travellers wanting lodging. Ev-
cry traveller Of that time will remem-
Der the difficulty Of obtaining bed in
any Of the hotels, even if he was will
ling to put up with two or three
strange hed-ftlIows.
The Rev. Hosea Brown, an cccen.
trio Methodist minister, stoppcdat one
Of the hotels in Ann Arbor, and inquir-
ed if he could have u room to himself.
The barkecpcr told him he could, un-
less they should be so full as to render
it necessary to put another in with
him. At an early hour the reverend
gentleman went TO his room, locked
the door, and soon retired to bed, and
got comfortably 70 sleep. Along to-
wards midnight, he was aroused from
his slurnbcr by q loud knocking at the
door.
Hello, you there" he exclaimed,
"What doyou want now?' laying par
ticuIar stress on the last word.
"You must take another lodger with
you," said the landlord.
"What! another yeti"
"Why yes, there's only one in there,
is there!"
Gone why here's Mr.. Brown, and a
Methodist minister, and myself here
already, and should think that was
enough for one bed, even in Michi-
gam
The landlord seemed to think so too
and left them their repose.

ERIAL NAVIGATION.

With view Of demonstrating the
possibility and feasibility Of man navi-
eating the air by flying, Mr.. s. s.
Richardson, of this city, who has de-
voted two years to the study and the
expenditure of many thousand dollars,
has built machine which he contends
with satisfactorily demonstrate this
vexed question. On a frame work Of
bamboo rods, set transversely, con-
sisting of five combinations, four rods
in each, forming an K, and covering a
space of twenty-four feet by six, he
has laid an upper and lower covering
Of canvass in two rows--the upper
rows covering the entire frame, the
lower being in two parts, 9 feet by 6.
These rows Of canvass are stiffened
with small pieces of bamboo, and are
the only portions which resist the air,
being intended to skim the air. The
propelling power lays in two rows Of
gulls' wings, set on the front and real
parts of the machine, working in frames
six set in front and rear. In the front
frames there are ten sets of wings, anC
on the rear eight. These wings work
perpendicularly, describing the half O
a circle, and are so affixed as to work
as free from the bamboo sticks as they
would on the bird. The motive power
is given these wings by the operator
lis slung to the centre supports, anC
by means Of working hishands and fee
in proper pedals, gives the wings mo
ton. To go directly forward all th,
wings are in. use; to turn or steer, th
right or left motive power ceases. Th

"Why, sir! babbling geese saved

Ocean, steamers compared. Having
crossed in all the veraI-steamer lines,
I feel myself justified in forming and
giving a correct opinion The Collins
line is certainly the fastest, and the
most colnmodious for passengers in It's
arrangements. In machinery the
Cunarders are the strongest and most
reliable, and [ regard them as safer in
every respect in which strength is con
cerned. There is sort Of HEnglish'
preponderance in the Cunard steamers,
which does not let an American feel
at home in them. There is more hard
eating and drinking on these ships
than | ever witnessed before.
The Bremen line has, or had, all the
faults of the other steamers, but their
first cabin and saloon arrangements
are certainly superior to all. For
families, the Bremen line possesses
advantages which none Of the others
can equal. Would that more attention
were paid in them to cleanlinessl The
Bremen lines keep the poorest order,
the Cunarders the best; and let me add,
that all these steamer lines fail in
guarding properly against accidents
by fire. | do not mean the boiler,
machine and engine-room by this, but
rather the pantry and the state-rooms,
etc.
Their eating arrangements are uni.
versally bad. They have but one good
quality-if it be a good quality-pro-
fusion without taste. 1Eao cooking is
steam-cooking, which lean not de.

worst specimens Of English hotel cock.

motive power is conducted to the wing
by means of bright wires running
through brass pulleys on the end of
each transverse section. Each wing
works on bamboo rod, being connect
ed in sets by wires; the sets working
by means of two small triangular
braces, top and bottom, revolving on
light hinges.
1t is not our purpose to question the
practicability of this machine, which
the inventor claims is destined to
demonstrate the vexed problem Of
aerial navigation, until we can see it in
operation in the atmosphere. The IN
ventor has spent two years and some
$4,000 in completing the present
machine, the building Of which alone
occupied FIVE molths, and he at.least
deserves credit fer bis perseverance.-

ful, as they generally are, the hind one
never lets 90 his hold till the horse is

Instead Of springing forward or

THE 1NoU1srT1vE YANKEE.

The foliowing 'snew edition with i'm
provements, of an old anecdote, is
exceedingly rich;
A gentleman riding in an Eastern
railroad car, which was rather scarcely
with passengers, observed in
a seat before him lean, slab-sided
Yankee; every feature of his face
seemed to ask question, and little
circumstance soon proved that he

fore him, occupying the entire seat,
sat lady dressed in deep black, and,
after shifting his position several times,
and mannuvring to get an opportunity
to look into her face, he at length
caught her eye.
''In affliction?"
ayes, sir," responded the lady.
''Pa-rant?-father or mOther?'
"No, sir"
"Child, perhaps?-bOy or girl?"
"No, sir, not child have nc

"Ohl drowned, eh?' pursued the in
quisitor, hesitating for a brief instant
"Save his chist?'
eyes, the vessel was saved, and my
husbands effects" said the widow.
/" Was they?' asked the Yankee, his
eyes Frightening up.
"PiouS man?"
"He was a member Of the Methods
Church"
The next question was a little de.
layed but it came.
"Don't you think you have grea
cause to be thankful that he was piou'
man and saved his chist?"
"I do" said the widow abruptly, anC
turned her head to look out of the
window.
The indefatigable pump changed
his position, held the widow by hi:
glittering eye once more, and pro,
pounded one more query, in little
lower tone, with his head lightly In
clined forward, over the back of the
seat, "Was you calculatin' to gel

pealed out at once the national anthem
"God save the Gar" and the shouts
of the people formed tremendous
accompaniment to the music. The
cOuntenance of his majesty was most
solemn: he bowed repeatedly but never
smiled, and the cheers seemed to die
away for the want of the imperial
sympathy. 1t was striking oriental

IF ever a. city had reason to erect a
statue, Boston is iustifedin the present
homage to Franklin. To him we owe
more of what we'value in life than to
any other one man who ever lived
In any early age of the world he would
have been worshipped as demigod--
some Pronetheus or Hercules. He
has given this age its impress, its
image, and superscription. He melted
down the old theological bigotry, saved
the humane principles at the bottom
of it, inspired strong, practical com
mon sense, a thirst for knowledge, an
ambition to subdue, love of labor,
order, equality, justice. Whether he
moulded candles or constitutions, he
did it earnestly and with his whole
mind and soul. When he set type, or
linked form, he did it with sublime
sense of the results, and the working
of brains always dignifed the working
of his hands. Hence, instead Of allow
ing the physical to drag him down to
the reign Of slavery, he made it the
staging by which the spirit mounted
to freedom and power. By ruling
himself, he eam9 to rule kings-more
than that, to extort the secrets Of
nature and shape the destinies Of
all future generations. He was a
mechanic, terrestrial and celestial, and
through him, more than any other one
mechanic, it has come to pass, that all
men in this age, except a few under
the shadow of the old remnants Of bar
barism, honor mechanical skill and in
ventive power as skin divinity, and ex-
alted far above all the glories of idle
ness.
This is the native city of the great
mechanic, the printer who impressed
upon the future of his country his own
genius and glorious success. It was
The Boston Boy who tanned that fastest horse,
Since ridden by our Boston Inail-boy Morse,
And oft in less than no time, for a wonder,
Whlcn KICKS IAe space DenedJn nlS leeg 70 InunueI
And, taught by Charming, quenehes on our roofs
The very fire struck from his dazzling hoofs,
and surely he ought to stand in the
very heart of Boston for an everlasting
pride, joy, and profit. No man car
remember Franklin without bettering
first his own worldly estate, and ther
that of all others around him, who dc
not forbid themselves to be bettered
Such is the gospel according to Frank
lin. Ea.gl1g
This age is famous for mechanics
improvements, wealth, temperance
and anti-slayery. Of all these Frank.
lin was the father. All these thing;
are as good now as when the great
practical philosopher first gave then
the mighty impulse of his genius anC
consecrated them to eternal success
His native city, in erecting his statue
only does what should long ago have
been done-acknowledges their good
ness and commends them to posterity

A YOUNG LADY. DRAWN IN A LOTTERY.

Nearly year ago q young hdy In
France, named Sophie Van Behe, con-
ceived the singular idea of disposing
of herself in marriage by means of a
lottery. She was thirty years old,
tired Of life Of celibaey, and in des-
pair at not finding a husband with
enough means at his command to suit
her views. She announced, therefore,
that her handsome but rather mature
person should be disposed of on the
following terms: She created a lottery
with FIVE hundred shares Of Thousand
francs each. Subscribers were to
present themselves in person, in order
that she might decide ON their accepts
ability as husbands. The subscriptions
were placed in the hands Of notary
as fast as made, and the drawing was
not to take place till all the shares
were taken, that is, when the sum Of
half million of francs were COM
plete. s
Not quite a year elapsed before tho
shares were all taken. The drawing
recently took place in the Office Of the
notary who held the subscriptions and
the money, in the presence Of two.
magistrates. A thousand Numbers
were placed in an urn, the subscribers
being numbered in orderas their names
were inscribed. The eurnwas Thoroughly
shaken up, a blind hand was thrust in.
and 400 withdrawn. The happy IN
dividual who subscribed 49el was a
Tunisian General who had already oc-
cupied the public attention by his
oriental caprices. But the lady was
neither frightened at the turoah, nor
the beard, nor the harem Of the happy
barbarian, who fastened to marry her,
and to pocket his FIVE hundred thou
sand francs. The happy couple have
left for Tunis, where they viii reside.
