Exchange OF Corr Rspiiments.

The following interchange of compli-
ments between the Cincinnati CONNER
cial and the Chicago Journal, as TO the
merits of their respective cities, is
rather amusing. The Commercial says:
Chicago is a superficial, snowy place,
and tOlerably active in. the summer,
but in the winter she is ice-bOund and
stagnant, while Cincinnati, fnll of man
ufaeturiDg industry, goes right on sum
mer and winter. Al there is Of Chica-
go is above ground. There is not a
cellar in town, and cannot be, while in
Cincinnati, in addition TO that which
meets the eye above the sidewalks, We
have met a city under ground. There
is more storage-roOm occupied, too, in
the cellars of Cincinnati than in all the
elevators Of Chicago combined.
Whereupon the Journal replies: "We
cannot return the compliment for Gin
cinnati. She is neither superficial,
either in summer or winter. Cincinnati
was a 'tolerably active place when she
was possessed with swine, but ever
since she has been grunting over her
more prosperous neighbors. She can
bristle up as much as she pleases about
her city under ground We are on
the level, and do not envy the dwellers
in the choisest cellars OF CincinnatiF

Condensed History of Sten IN.

About two hundred and eighty year
B. c., Nero, of Alexandria, formed a TO!
which exhibited some of the powers o
steam and was moved by its power,
A. D. 5O4, Antheminus, an architect
arranged several cauldrons of water
each covered with leathern tube, which
rose to tho narrow top, with pipes eX'
tending to the rafters of the adjoining
building. A fire was kindled beneath
the cauldrons, and the house was shaken
with the efforts of the steam ascending
the tubes. This is the first notice of the
power of steam recorded.
In 1913, June 18th, Brasco de Garay
tried a steamboat of two hundred tons
with tolerablc success, ut Barcelona,
Spain. 1t consisted of cauldron OF
boiling water, and movable wheel on
each side OF the ship, 1t was laid aside
as impracticable. A present, however,
was made to Garay.
The first idea of steam engine i'll
England was in the Marquis Of Worces'
ter's "History Of Inventions A. ID.
1868.
In 17O1, Newmerman made the first
steam engine in England.
In171S, patents were granted to Savary
for the first application of the steam ell
gine.
In 1764, James Watt made the first
perfect engine i'll England.
In 1906, Jonathan Hull first set forth
the idea of steam navigation.
In IT'S, Thomas Payne first proposed
its application in America.
In ISL, Marquis Jouttrcy constructed
steamboat on the Saone.
In 1855, two Americans published
work on it.
In 1889, VIM. Smyington made a voy'
age in one, on the Forth and Clyde ca
nal.
In 1892, this experiment was repeated
In 1872, Ramsey propelled boat by
steam at New York.
In 1889, John Fitch, of Connecticut
navigated q boat by a steam engine Oh
the Delaware.
In 1874, Robt. Fulton first began tc
apply his attention to steam.
In 1888, Oliver Evansville, native OF
Philadelphia, constructed steam en-
CINE to travel on n turnpike road.
The first steam vessel that crossed tho
Atlantic was the Savannah, i'll the month
of June, 1910, from Charleston to Liver
pool.

RIVER NEWS.

The RIVER was falling last evening,
with nine feet water.
The Potomac is the Cincinnati packet
for this evening. Capt. Muhleman and
Clerk Chris. Young will make passen-
gers comfortable.
1t has been generally understood by
owners of steamboats, and other vessels,
that the internal revenue law exempts
from taxation the gross receipts of all
vessels that have paid tonnage dues. A
recent circular from the Treasury De-
partment, however, states that the pay
ment of tonnage dues does not exempt
these receipts from tax. This circu-
lar has created considerable discussion
among steamboatmen, and large meet
ing was held recently in st. Louis, in
response to a letter from Secretary
McCulloch, in relation to the nayiga-
tion laws as applicable TO western riv-
ers, and whether legislation is necessa-
ry, and what. A series of resolutions
were adopted to appoint a committee of
sIuru vuIrvu All INC IuIuTiIatiou pos-
sible on this subject, and arrange it in
the form of a memorial to Congress,
through Secretary McCulloch; also to
notify all leading boatmen and compan-
les in the West of the course taken, and
requesting like action on their part,
and further to request general meet
ing of all the committees appointed,
to be held at Cincinnati at an early
day.
We clip the following from Cincin-
natl papers of Saturday

Captain Thos. Murdock yesterday
sold the steamer Osceola To Captain J..

Osceola for the Southern coasting trade.

.Tbe Tumble in Priccs.o

A good deal is said about the " tumble
in prices" but the consumers are not
able to see it yet. Nevertheless, there
is a prospect they will, unless all
signs fail. Concerning the matter, the
n. Y. Sun says: "The question with the
spectators is not how much they will
make on their ventures, but how long
can they stand the downward move
mcnt in prices. 1t is certain they
cannot stand the pressure much longer.
Already we hear that few weak con-
Germs have toppled over, and a number
of Others are almost upon the verge of
failure. This state of things covers the
whole field of speculation, from gold
and stock TO pork and beans. Coal,
dry goods, groceries, produce-in fact
everything in the wholesale market is
ON the downward road, and business of
all kinds is almost at a stand still. All
classes of dealers who have stocks on
hand are alarmed at this state of the
market, but the spectators who bought
large stocks in the expectation of ad-
vancing prices when winter should set
in, are almost in panic. How long
will it last The general i'm
preston among the merchants is
that the decline will be temporary only,
and that it will be followed by a sharp
reaction. There is no certainty, how
ever, of the correctness of that conclu-
sion. The salesmen who have Just been
out through the country report that
trade in the rural districts is as dull as
in the city, and that the merchants there
have ample stocks of goods. If this be
so, what is there to enliven trade in the
city, We can hardly think that the
long impending financial crash is at
hand, but il is useless to deny that there
are many signs pointing strongly in that
direction

A Singular Circumstance

The Culpepper (Va.) Observer says: A
Fauquier correspondent has written us
"A letter, from which we give the follow
ing current facts:
About thirty-fve years ago, a lady was
inferred at Elk Run Church, in heavy
black walnut coffin. The earth wherein
her body was deposited was dry and yell
low, as it is for the most part in that
locality. Of two bodies buried in the
same grave, this lady's was laid deepest
in the ground, and there being occasion
to remove the bodies. owing to the de-
struction of the grave yard enclosure by
the Federal army, the grave was dug up
anew; but to the surprise of the digger,
when he had removed the upper coffin,
he perceived a quantity of hair, that had
made its way through the Sits and
crevices of the coffin. The lid being
taken of, there appeared a perfect re-
semblance of q human figure, the eyes,
the nose, mouth, ears, and all other
parts, being very distinct, but from the
crown of the head to the soles of the
feet, it was covered with very long,
thick and frizzled hair. The grave
digger, after examining it for some time,
happened to touch the upper part OF the
head; but was more surprised than be-
fore. on seeing the entire body shrink,
and nothing at last remained In ms
hand but q bundle ofrough hair, which
insensibly assumed a brownish red col
or.
Professor Rawls is ofthe opinion that
hair, wool, feathers, nails, horns, teeth,
&c, are nothing but vegetables, and 1t
is not, therefore, surprising to see them
grow on the bodies of animals after
their death. He goes so far rs to say
these productions may be transplanted
as vegetables, and may grow on differ
ent place from that where they were
first terminated.

From the Clarksburg Conservative.
Our CoIored Citizens.

We have neglected heretofore to an
nounce the thriving condition of our fcl-
low-citizcns lob de African scent" in
Clarksburg. They have a very flourish
ing Sabbath school under the direction
of white folks, and large public day
school taught by lady from Eastern
Virginia of their own complexion. How
well they are getting along is best de-
scribed by one of the Sunday School
scholars. When asked the question, he
said "frst rate-we will soon be able to
get along with the white folks-some OF
us are most ready to teaOh-l know
down to IL myself" We are informed
that this colorcd teacher is paid $50 a
month and the white women teachers
$50 a month. If this is wrong, we hope
some of the officers Of orr public schools
will set us right.
THANKsGIVING.-Gov Boreman
publishes an advertisement in the Rad
ical papers of the State, the announce
'ment that he has appointed Thursday,
the 29th day of November, (the same
day heretofore appointed by the Pres
dent, as a day of thanksgiving and
praise 1t would seem that the Cover
nor does not extend his Thanksgiving
to Conservatives. Perhaps he thinks
they have nothing to be thankful for.
He is right so far as he aud his party
are concerned, but they will, neverthe-
less. offer up their devotions To that just
God who hath said "reHgedRce is mine and
miH reqmite H." with thanks and praise
that he will not always permit the
wicked TO prosper.
HUMBUGGED.-It was announced by
the savans of the country, that on or
about the 18th or 14th inst, there was
to be 4 grand meteoric shower. A great
many sat up and watched for it, and
our negroes had revival on the
strength of it, but the stars didn't fall.
On one of the nights it rained and this
might have put them out. Our devil
was greatly chagrined. He had set ont
n wash tub to catch some. 1t is graft
flying to know that the learned gentle
men who promised us the exhibition,
say they will inform us of the canse of
the failure $50 soon as the positional
relation of our globes orbit TO the
aphelion of the meteorics is astromical-
" ascertained," so we are likely to
know as much about it as we did before
almost.
