steamboat in pleasant weather is
always a pleasure, but on sach a grand
floating palace as the Richmond, it is
a luxury. Her magnificent cabin, 284
feet long, adorned with all the beauty
that art and good taste could desire;
her spacious parlor and state-rooms,
allowing to families all the comforts,
and. at the SAINT time, all the privacy
Of home, with the ~cleanest, sweetest,
softest touches, all conspire to form a
scene of inexpressibIe pleasure and
comfort. In addition to all these. is

superiority of her cooks, and the at
t~entiveness Of her servants. But

on her present trip, as singularly

foers have their wives aboard. Mrs.
