The drays had nc&rly all stopped and

STEAM JANA BoATs.
RIppiurham,, Iuyention.

A few days ago we made mention Of
the departure of Mr.. P. Rippingham
from Virginia, on his way to Wash
ington with a model Of an invention
OF his own for propelling canal boats
by steam, without injury to the banks
Of the canal. R~ippingham desires to
compete for the offer by the State OF
New York of 300. 900 reward for q
successful invention of the kind, and
has great faith In his ability to get
away with that much coveted prize.
The following from the San Francisco
Cal of Wednesday, gives fuller partic-
ulars Of Mr.. Rippingham's invention
than have yet been made public:
The attention Of engineers and ma
chinists has long been directed to the
subject Of the propulsion Of canal
boats by machinery, but hitherto moth
ing practical has been achieved. Mi.
p. Rippingham, OF Virginia City, how
ever, has invented and patented a piece
of machinery which seems to combine
all the requisites. Our readers will
understand that canal-boats cannot be
fitted with ordinary marine engines,
as the wash from the screw or paddles
would be destructive to the banks Of
the canal. The idea OF moving the
boats by means of an engine on board,
connected by a shaft with q cogged-
wheel on shore, running upon a rail
parallel with the canal, has been found
impracticable. because 1t has been
found impossible to keep the boat in
one straight line, and the slightest
divergence therefrom has pushed or
dragged the wheel from the rail and
broken of the cogs. Mr.. Rippingham
dispenses with rail and cogs, and con-
tents himself with a five-foot wheel,
with the tire indented, after the fashion
Of those upon road steamers. This
wheel he Intends shall run upon the
ordinary tow-path. The engine. Of
course, Is fixed in the boat, the shaft
projects from the boat at right angles
to 1t, and ut the end Of the shaft the
wheel runs parallel to the course OF
the boat. The boat may be lower or
higher in the water, and consequently,
In order that the wheel may always be
pressed upon the ground with sufficient
force to give it a grip" there is an
arrangement by which the shaft land
in consequence tho wheel ut its ex-
tremity) may be lowered or raised by
steam pressure. 10 enable another
boat to pass, or tor other necessary
purposes, the shaft can be "taken OH
board THAT is, the shaft car be
turned easily on a pivot, so that in
stead OF being at right angles with the
boat, it can be made to lie fore and aft
above its deck, the wheel projecting
over its stern. The boat can be steered
closer to or further from the shore by
a partial turn on this pivot and a con-
seQuent detection of the wheels course
along the tow-path. An engine Of
very small power, and taking COM
| paratively little room. will accomplish
| all the work. The machine has been
we'll spoken of by competent engineers,
| and as it is the invention Of a Califor-
MAN, we hope 1t may prove a success.

THE BALI PAR EXCELLENCE.

We allude to the eleventh annual
ball of Young America Engine Com
pany No. 2, Virginia, given at Piper's
Opera House, night before last. We
had the felicity of being present, there
fore know just how 1t was ourself, and
feel perfectly justified in pronouncing
1t by all odds the best ball in every
respect given this season. 1t was moro
fully attended than any Of them, con-
sequently there was no room for the
supper tables to occupy their usual
place beneath the dress circle, all that
space being called into active requisi-
ton by the dancers. The dresses Of
the ladies were more fine and tasteful
than on any similar occasion, and the
same may be said of the decorations,
everything throughout being In keep
ing with the determination Of this eff
cient company to Guido all previous
efforts of the kind. Fine pictures,
flags, wreaths of flowers and approprl-
ate emblemsadorned the walls, private
boxes and dress circle, while from the
ceiling was suspended a very beautiful
ornamental and harmonic device, like
a great chandelier. composed Of six
teen cages Of singing birds, interviewer
with garlands Of flowers and other
pretty trimmings, while radiating from
it In all directions to the sides Of the
great hall were broad streamers Of red,
white and blue, presenting a most
beautiful appearance. Suspended IN
rows across the theater, and all around
the sides from every eligible point
were l70 cages, containing numerous
varieties of feathered songsters, num-
berlng over 200 in all. Viewed from
the dress circle, where were seated
many interested spectators, the scene
was one o fairy enchantment, and tho
festive company Of gaily dressed
dancers whirlcd through the mazes OF
waltz, quadrille, schottische and ma
zourke with unusual zest, to the lively,
inspiring strains Of the fine band OF
music. Fillebrown. the caller, did HIM
self proud, as we'll as hoarse, on the
occasion, and Carl York's magic cor
net never sounded so sweet and clear,
most especially when he led off with
those remarkable original solo and
duet obligatos In the basket quadrilles.
York is a genius, and, in fact, the
whole band was composed Of select
musical artists. Altogether this ball
was a most brilliant and creditable
success, and Young America Engine
Company No. 2 have full right to DO
proud oft. 1t was exclusively an in
vitation ball, no tickets being sold, but
the entire expense was betrayed from
the treasury Of the company. 1t was
most admirably managed throughout,
aud the guests all had as agreeable a
time rs Is possible to have on any occa-
sion of the kind. dancing till approach
ing daylight admonished them Of the
time to retire from the hilarious scene
go home to bed. May all succeeding
balls given by this company be as
~agreeaoly satisfactory, and may we be
there to soe.

point on account Of several mountains
Of mud erected by some skillful archi-

first glance 1 thought that some an
cient Indian burying ground had been
thrown up by the recent earthquake /;
but further light on the subject showed
