Of onr cit.,r, '..1n- yreign countries:
The I'm. iSiHus believe it to be their

to intervene for their protection when such
action is justified by existing circumstances
and by the law of nations Wherever their

globe, when they encounter injustice they
may appeal to the Government OF their

into, with a view to Such action on their

impossible to define in advance and with
precision those cases in which the national
power may be excrted for their relief, or to
what extent relief shall be afforded. Cir
cumstances as they arise must prescribe the
rule of action. In countries where well.
defined and established laws are in opera

cases will rarely occur where such interven'
ton will be necessary. But these elements
Of confidence and security are not every
where found; and where that is unfortu-
nntely the case, the United States are
called upon to be more vigilant in watch

the action of the Government, or by its in

1t is unnecessary for me to make any

Tie Murderers Of Col. Ebey.

Most OF our readers will remember the
tragical fate Of Col Ebey, killed at Whids
by's Island, about two years since bJ the
Indians. Gel. Ebey was a man very gen
orally known and highly respected in Wash
ingtOn Territory, and bad been the Col
lector Of Customs at Port Townsend
During the war between our American
neighbors and the Indians the U. S. war
steamer Massachusetts attacked one Of the
Indian villages on the Sound and by the
means Of throwing shellG into the place,
knocked down their huts and killed It was
estimated at the time; II red skins. A
few weeks Afterwards mrauding party Of
Kake and Stikin Indians numbering q
couple of hundred, aoated down in their
canoes from their homes in the North-as
far up as the 5sth and 59lh parallels Of
North latitude = made q descent upon
Whidby's Island, burned the few houses,
seized Col. Ebey, cut of his head, and then
were OF again. This daring expedition
aud cold blooded murder created intense
sensation all throughout Washington Ter
ritory, but it was never known what pair
ticular tribe Of Indians were the perpetra.
tors Of it, and the murder remained una
venged. During the recent trading voy-
age of the II. B. Co.'s steamer Beasa
among the Indian tribes Of the Bnssian
Possessions at the North, she stopped at -
village Of the Kake tribe, in about So, de-
grees 80 minutes, and there heard that
they had the scalp Of Col Ebe5. Cspt.
SwanstoD, Of the Beaver, and Chief Trader ,
Dodd, desired to purchase the scalp, audO
sent word Of their wishes TO the chiefs Of
the village. Soon after, three or four
canoes, flled with armed men, came alongs
side the Bedrer, and before their wafllko .
appearance was noticed, some eight OF ten
got aboard. This being noticed, and the
hostile designs Of the saVages becoming ap.
parent, all hands were beat to quarters,
and the ship Immediately cleared for aetiOu.n
The canoes were warned Of, upon peril Of"
being sunk by the guns now run ont and
bearing on them, and an explanation Of this
sudden warlike display was required, when
the Indians replied that they were reinfosmedi
that the demand for the scalp was bat Z
preliminary step to attacking their Villagssi
Being told this, was not the case, they
calmed down, but still persistently refused
to dispose Of the scalp, It Is said that the
Indians are accustomed, At least once g.
year, to give grand feast, when they
dance around the scalpsi Of their enemies
killed in battle, aud that the scalp Of =

Robert Fulton PIucked.

ForReyS Press contains an article and O
communication which strips Robert Fulton
Of his laurels as the inventor of the steam
boat. They show that the inventor was
John Fitch, of Pennsylvania. Abraham
Mcdowell, of Warminster, Bucks county,
a gentleman of over eighty years Of age,
writes that he saw John Fitch's steamboat
tried in 1885. Here is bis account Of the
original steamboat, and the place where it
was tried;-
In this shop John Fitch built his FIRST
steamboat, which distinctly remember, as
| was a good-sized boy. 1t was about four
feet in length aud little over foot in
breadth, with q wheel in the stern, which
was something like a futter wheel When
the boat was done it was taken to a dam
on the farm Of Arthur Watts, in South
ampton township near the present village
Of Davisville, and now owned by Gen. John
Davis. John Fitch was accompanied by
James Scout, Abraham Sutphin, Anthony
Scout, John Mcdowell, William Vausant,
anu OudEleo uhEIloOus Ntub hlOhB OuA
Of boyish curiosity, and after We had
reached the dam, Arthur Watts, and
think his son, William Watts, then a young
man, came out to witness the experiment
| think the soft coal of Virginia was useC
to generate steam, and it is my opinion
that the FIRE was lighted while the boa
was on the bank. Before the boat wa
put into the water, the persons along wer
sent to the other side OF the dam to pre-
vent it running aground. and to tugn !
when il should come across. l was sen
up to the head Of the dam where the waite
was shallow and the mud deep, as the mel
did not Ike to go in where they would &c
muddy. l waded in some little distance
where the water was deep enough to ALLOW
the boat to aoat, aud stood there. Tn
boat was launched, aud in a few minutes I
put of under full headway, putting, and the
smoke flying, and very soon reached The
opposite side Of the dam. This run being
TOO short, it was next started lengthwlse
Of the dam, aud made several trips back
and forth, to and from the point where |

History Of Steam,

About POS years B. c., Hero, Of Alex
andria, formed toy which exhibited some
Of the powers of steam, and was put in mo-
tion by it.
A. d., $40, Anthcn,us, as architect, ar.
ranged several caullrons Of water, each
covered with the wide bottom Of leathern
tube, which rose to a narrow top, with
pipes extended to the rnfters Of an adjon-
ing building. A fire was kindled beneath
the cauldrou, and the house was shaken by
the efforts Of the steam ascending the tubes.
In 1913, June l7th, Blasco de Gary
tried a steamboat of 300 tons with tolera-
bic success, at Barcelona, Spain. 1t con
sisted of q cauldron Of boiling water, and
a movable wheel on each side of the ship.
1t was laid aside as impracticable. A
handsome present, however was made TO
Garay.
The first idea Of u steam engine in En-
gland was in the Marquis of WorcesterS
History Of Inventions" published in 1868
In 1898 patents were granted to Sayery
for the first application OF the steam engine
In 1905, Neconan, Cawley, and Sayery
made the first steam engine IN England.
In 1886 Jonathan HulIs set forth The
idea of steam navigation.
In 1869 James Watt made the first per
feet steam engine in England.
In 1881 the Marquis Jouffroy con
structed a steamboat on the Siene.
In 1889 VIM. Symington made a voyage
in one on the Froth and Clyde Canal
In 1902 this experiment was repeated.
In 1882 Rumsey propelled boat by
steam at New York. ..
In 1851 John Fitch, of Philadelphia,
navigated a boat by a steam engine on the
Delaware river.
In 1893 Robert Fulton first began ia
turn his attention to steam.
In 1898 Oliver Evans, native Of Phil
adelphia, constructed a locomotive steau
engine to travel on a turnpike road
Hero's steam engine was like Barker
water wheel driven by steam--a rotary
1t was revived seventy.fve years ago III
this State. A book was published il
Leipsic in 1897, which described q rotary
steam engine like Hero's.
In 1916 Solomon De Cause, French
engineer, published work describing the
power of steam to force water, but not by
an engine
The claims Of Basco de Garay are no
entitled to much weight, as they were onll
Grst given the world in 1926, and said Il
be from an old manuscript discovered in tn,
Archives at Simancas, Spain.
In 1929, Branca, an Italian, mathema
tician, propelled q wheel by jet of stcan
fromaa boiler.
Before Symington made bis experiment.
be was engaged by Patrick Miller, o
Delswinton, aud made an engine to propel
boat for that gentleman, who published
pamphlet on the subject in 1887.
John Fitch propelled boat by steam OIL
Collect Pond, in this city, about the date
specified above. We never read or heard
of Rumsey doing so.
The first permanently successful steam
engine in the world was that Of james
Watt, in 1859, and the FIRST permahently
successful steamboat, for which Watt built
the engine, was that of Robert Fulton, il
1901, in New York.-N Y Seieniyf

OnlyFWaiting.

Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown
Only waiting till the glimmer
or the days last beam is flown;
Till the night of earth is faded
From the heart once full of day;
Till the stars of heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home
For the summer time is faded,
And the Autumn winds have come.
Quickly, reapers gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart,
For the bloom of life is withered,
And / hasten to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet long have fingered.
Weary, poor, and desolatei
Eten now hear the footsteps,
And their voices far away.
Ifthey call me, am waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are q little longer grown
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the last days beam is flown
Then from out the gathering darkness
Holy, deathess stars shall rise,
By whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.

STAGES FToM SALT LAKE TO THE DALLEs'-
A line of four-horse post coaches are to be
run from Salt Lake, or some point on the
Placervilo route west from Salt Lake, to
the Dalles, in Oregon, to connect with the
stages on the line between st. Joseph and
Placerville, The Sacramento Bee says;
We know not how much was allowed for
this service, or whether this side route will
be run weekly or semi-monthly, but seeing
that the Salt Lake or great central route
is not only expected to meet the demands
Of more than two thirds of the people Of
California, but also to supply the people Of
Oregon and Washington with an overland
mail, it is but fair to expect the national
Government to place it on an equality with
the most favored of routes.
There is no question about the right Of
the people of the north to have the very
be mail facilities that can be afforded by
zee rr-ilnd routes, and they owe it to
thag Is to set to work early, and secure
all the benefits desired and it is also the
duty of the press throughout the State to
urge the matter upon the attention Of Con
gress.
