OWN JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, JUNE A. 1878

We trace the history of this ''young
man," he appears like a character intro
duced 10y the novel writer to complete
the plan marked out for MS book. We
are informed by the historian, that Rob
ert Fulton did not turn his attention TO
steamboats, until several years after
Rumsey's death, and in 1896, Fulton
himself writes II have discovered a
way to move vessels by steam. His
first successful experiment was with the
"Clermont" on the Hudson river ii
1907, and though, the machinery tor it
was made at the celebrated works OF
Watt and Boulton, at Soho, it did not
reach greater speed than Rumseys
imperfeStly constructed boat, on the
Potomac in 1.S6, trsnty-one years be
tore.
That Fulton succeeded in applying
steam usefuiiy and prcfta6iy is not de-
MED, and he has been honored and re-
munerated therefore, but we can not
help drawing the conclusion, from all
the information at hand, that he recel'-
ed his idea from Rumsey, whose sudden
death prevented him from putting steam
to the same practical purposes.
In 1887 the heirs of James Rumsey
petitioned Congress praying for some
consideration and recognition of their
ancestors claim to this invention,
which was referred to n special commit
tee whose report was submitted March
,, 1887, and concludes rs follows
Your committee will not affirm, from
any thing exhibited to them, that James
Rumseys steamboat or his machinery
for propelling boats by steam, was rs
perfect, or as capable of producing ben
efcial results as are the engines now
used for propelling boats against wind
and current. No doubt many and i'm
portant improvements have since been
made. But your committee believe
that the facts prove that James Rumsey
was among the first to move a boat by
the application of steam power; that his
genius and cxcrtions to accomplish this
great object, which since his death has
been done by others (.o matter whether
by adopting his ideas or improving up
on them, or whether their plans were
altogether originaD should be rescued
from oblivion and that the country, OF
which he was native, should testify
its gratitude by some act, commemora-
tive Of his worth and services.
Upon the reception of this report, on
motion of Mr.. Ramsey, Of Kentucky, 1t
was
Resoiusd, BY the Senate and House
Of Representative i'll Congress assem-
blcd, that the President be and is here
by authorised and requested to present
to James Rumsey, Jr., the only suryiv-
inc heir Of James Rumsey, deceased, a
suitable gold medal commemorative OF
his fathers services and high agency IN
giving to the world the benefit OF the
steamboat.
This is all the honor and all the re
muneration James Rumsey Or his heirs
ever received from his country ''for his
agency in giving to the world the
steamboat"

Reminiscence OF the John Brown Raid.

interest, now that We have seen and

And when any new Developments are

When the John Brown rad occurred
Salmon T. Chase was Governor Of Ohio.
Pending the execution Of Brown and
his companions. Governor Wise, OF
Virginia, was led to apprchend an inva
sion of armed mcu from Ohio, for the

Her lover stood beside her,
With kids and dicky clean
He was but twenty-one years old
And she but seventeen.

Each one had kissed the bride,
Aud wished the young pair happiness,
And laughed, and danced and cried
CHAPTER ".
The festive scene was ended,
The last words had been said,
The happy maid had simmered down,
The last gay guest had fled.
CHAPTER V.
She stood beside the wash tub,
With her red hands in the suds,
While at her slip-shod feet there lay
a pile Of dirty duds.
CHAPTER VI.
Her husband stood beside her,
The crossest man alive;
His age was Just twenty-nlne-
And she was twenty-five.
CHAPTER VII.
The heavy wash was over,
And the clothes hung up to dry,
And Tom had stuck his finger IN
The dirty baby's eye.
CHAPTER VIII.
Tom had been spanked and supper made
Upon a crust of bread
And the happy wife and husband too'
Went grumbling off to bed.
