Michigan is said to have a sancti-
monious individual named Tibbets,
who never uttered an oath, never
used n dimes worth of tobacco,
never bought or sold a drop OF
whisky for himself, never played q
game of marbles, checkers or bill
lizards, and only twice in his life has
he had pack of cards in his hands.
He has travelled over q hundred
thousand miles and never met with
an accident, and he has never been

CINCINNATI JUBILANT
CeIsbrstisn of the Opening Of tbs New Lon
isVllIs Canal.

CINCINNATI, February H.-The ar
rival OF the steamer Potomac at two
O'Clock this evening was made the Oc-
casion for firing a salute at the land
ing. A keg of powder was burned.
The special ground of rejoicing was
that she was the first arrival here of a
boat that had passed through the new
canal locks at Louisville. The boat
that was first to pass through these
locks, the Mollie Ebert, from New Or
leans, will arrive tonight. This will
bring the largest class Of boats to this
port.
There was no truth whatever in the
report which was circulated last night,
of the accident to the steamer United
States. Exactly how it originated is
not clear, but it seems to have been
started actively by some malicious
person, or one who little calculated or
cared for the solieitude that would be
awakened. There appears to be more
significance about it, inasmuch as a
similar false report was in some way
put in circulation concerning a boat
of the mail line sometime ago. Much
anxiety was felt here for a few hours.
The newspaper Offices dispatched mes
sengers, who travelled down the river
till late hour In search Of the truth
concerning the rumOr.

England GIViug Thanss for the Recovery
Of the Prince of Wales.

LONDON, February 27.-The thanks
giving celebration in honor of the re-
cOvery OF the Prince of Wales, was
OF the grandest character. The streets
were throEged and the houses and
public places were gorgeously deco
rated. Spectators were numbered by
the million and fabulous prices were
paid for available seats to witness the
procession. Twelve thousand soldiers
and almost the entire police force
guarded the lines.
The interior decorations of St.
Paups Cathedral were superb, and it
is estimated that fourteen thousand
persons were within the cathedral
The procession moved at noon.
When the procession moved, the
ringing OF bells and the chorus of
thirty thousand children was heard.
The great bodies of the kingdom were
all represented and crack regiments of
the army furnished detschments. The
Prince looked stronger than was ex-
pected. Immense cheering greeted
the Queen.
The day was observed as a legal
holiday throughout the entire king
dom. Thanksgiving services are re-
ported to have been held in the prin-
cipal cities of Ireland. A special
prayer was offered by the order Of

Patrick's church.
The Queen arrived at the cathedral
between one and two o'clock. The
entire assemblage arose as her majesty
entered, and remained standing until
she took her seat on the throne. The
Te Deum was sung by monster cho-
rus of picked voices, after which the
Archbishop of Canterbury delivered
q sermon.
After the conclusion Of the services
at st. Pauls, the procession returned
to Buckingham palace, the Prince
riding In the same carriage with the
Queen.
The weather was fine, and the cele
