The Invention of the Steamboat.

When the little harbOr at the mouth
of Sir Johns Run was still more wild
and lonely than now, James Rumsey, a
working bathtender at Berkeley
Springs, launched upon it a boat that
he had invented, of a novel principle
and propulsive force. The force was
steam, and Rumsey had shown his
model to Washington in 1850. First
discoveries of steam locomotiOn are
turning up every few months in embar-
assing numbers, but we cannot feel that
we have right to suppress the claims
of honest Rumsey, the prOtege of Wash
ington. The dates are said to be as fol-
lows Rumsey launched his steamboat
here at st. Johns Run in 1884, before
the General and throng of visitors
from the Springs in 17S8, John Fitch
launched another first steamboat on the
Delaware, and sent it successfully up to
Burlington in 1907 Robert Fulton set
a third first steamboat on the Hudson,
the Clermont. Rumseys motion was
obtained by the reaction of a current
squirted through the stern of the boat
against the water of the river, the cur
rent being pumped by steam. This ac-
ton, so primitive, so remote from the
principle of the engine now used, seems
hardly worthy to be connected with the
great revolutionary invention of steam
travel yet Washington certified his
opinion that d" the discovery is of vast
Importance, and may be of the greatest
usefulness in our inland navigation.
James Rumsey, with just a suspicion of
the irritabilty of talent, accused Fitch
of coming pottering around " his Vir-
ginia workbench and carrying off his
ideas, to be afterward developed in
Philadelphia. 1t is certain the devel-
opment was great. Rumsey died in
of apoplexy, at a public lee
ture, where he was explaining his con-
trivaOce

Executions in Brazil,

A correspondent writes to the Liver
pool 4lbiOn as to how they formerly
executed criminals in Brazil. The writer
says The day the execution took
place was one of great excitement in the
city. Political parties were fercely in
opposition. The elections were pend
ing the candidates from the rOstrums
in the churches were addressing thrOngs
of excited electors. Political feeling ran
high, and in tie height of the excite
ment the sheen of the knife glittered
over the heads of the swaying multi
tude when the city authorities, equal
to the occasion, out of the condemned
stock of prisoners in hand announced an
execution. A scene so sensational takes
in the tropics as it would have done here
years ago. The streets filled in proper
ton as the churches emptied. Headed
by its band came body of sOldiery, fol-
lowed by some priests, end then the Gull
prit with MS arms piniOned and halter
round his neck. He was man of color,
as was also the hangman, who followed
next. The procession moved past the
churches, and the noisy, excited electors
increased in numbers at every turn till
it thrOnged into the open square of the
Praca. The British steam frigates
Ardent and Growler were upon the coast,
and l with some of their officers got
into the upper room of a ship-store
dealers store which overlooked the
square, upon the opposite side of which,
facing the guard house at the foot of the
Rue de Estrella, was erected the simple
triangle which was to serve as gallows,
of about the height and form of those
which support a swing boat at an En-
glish country fair. One of its three
legs formed ladder, up which the cul-
prit clambered, and the top step being
broad enough to form a seat, on this he
sat with his back to the executiOner,
who stood upon the steps below him,
and after fastening the end of the rope
to the seat the culprit sat upon, he then
either pushed him off or had the power
of turning the upper seat, for the Grim
inal, falling forward head first, turned
over, and being brought up sharp by
the rope, swung with his shoulders on a
level with the body of the excutioner,
who, getting hold of the rope above the
head of the swinging form, lifted him
self upon its shoulders, with his legs
down upon the wretch's breast, and then
lifting himself once and more, by means
of his hands to the rope, allowed his
weight to come thud upon the shoulders
of the man leaving go of the rope, with
the mans head between his knees, he
then placed the palm of one hand over
the mouth, and with the fingers of the
other pinched tightly the nose, so as
to prevent any respiration.

The " HOpefuIo Case.

The expulsion of the trOtter Hopeful,

Chase, cannot fail to meet with the APP
proval of all honest turfmen and lovers
of sport, and to exercise a good effect
On the Tuesday of last week Hopeful
defeated Everett Ray with great ease,
trotting heat in 2:2S. On Saturday the
same horses came together at Prospect
Park in the 2:45 race, when, to the as.
Constituent and alarm of all honest
men, Everett Ray was made first favor
tie at 800 to $40 over the field. He
won one heat in $50, Hopeful being
seventh in a field of ten; then Miss
Miller took a heat in 1921, Hopeful
coming in fourth. Satisfied that there
was fraud in course of preparation,
the judges placed the well-known driver
G.. S. Green behind Hopeful and he won
the three next heats with ridiculous ease
in 2:26, 2:27, and 2:25. The judges
then, very properly, expelled driver,
owner, and horse from all the tracks
under the Association rules.
The deserved penalty, it will at once
be seen, is very severe one. Hopeful
was worth at least 800, 900 before his ex-
pulsion, but now is only valuable as a
roadster, and if offered for sale would
not likely realize more than 81, 900 or

The Southern negroes have a super
stition that if, while upon the road, a
rabbit crosses the path before them it is
a sign of bad luck. A crowd of girls
and boys we're on their way to a country
school, when a hare, frightened from
his burrow, ran across the road in front
of the party. The girls instantly, and
with one accord, turned quickly around
three times on their heels, pulled off
their sun-bonnets, spat in them, turned
them inside out, and, placing them
again on their heads, wore them thus to
school, congratulating themselves ON
the way that by these very essential ma
neuvers they had averteds some species
of bad luck that was about to befall
them. The boys likewise turned on
their heels and spat in their hats. One
of the boys, who had never before wit
messed such silly proceeding. was very
much amused and laughed heartily at
his companions. The girls looked upon
him with an expression of holy horror
and with clasped and wringing hands
implored him to follow their example.
This he refused to do, and they set
upon him with violence, pulled his hat
from his head, and made him spit in it,

All Hands Below.

A good story is told of n parrot who
had always lived on board ship, but
who escaped Mt one of the Southern
ports and took refuge in church.
Soon after the congregation assembled,
and the minister began preaching to
them in his earnest fashion, saying that
there was no virtue in them, that every
one of them would 60 to hell unless
they speedily repented, Just AZ he
spoke the sentence, up spoke the parrot

To say that "all hands" were startled
would be a mild way of putting 1t. The
peculiar voice and unknown sourco had
more effect on them than the parsons
voice ever had. He waited "a moment,
and then, n shade or two pnlcr, he re-
peatcd the warning.

from somewhere.
The preacher started from his pulpit
and looked anxiously around, iuquiring
if anybody had spoken.
"All hands below was the reply,
at which the entire panic-s'rickcn con

they all bolted for the doors, tho

during the time the miscellaneous bird

There was one old woman there who
was lame, and could not go out so fast
as the rest, and in a short time she was
left entirely alone. Just as she was
about to hobblc ont the parrot flew
down, and alighting on her shoulder
again yelled in her ear, "All hands

A Strange Story.

A lady who was some years ago left
a widow with a small family of children,
after much tribulation succeeded in
bringing up to manhood one son. who
proved himself able and willing to be
a support not only to her, but to his
younger brothers and sisters. About
year after becoming of age he was offered
a lucrative position in the West. and he
emigrated thither, and, settling there
permanently, soon married. New ties,
however, did not absorb old affections,
and, as he prospered in his business, he
sent regularly to his mother the means
necessary for her support and that of her
family. The years passed on and'brought
many changes; but still, regularly as the
quarter came, so also did the ample re-
mittance of this model son and brother.
When the tide of emigration turned to
the Far West, this son was carried with
it to Omaha, where he invested his earn
ings in town lots, which speedily rose in
value and made him man of wealth.
At least this was the intelligence sent
his mother Lately, while visiting
Auburn, his parent was invited to make
the tour of the State Prison, and whilst
passing through the various wards she
accidentally encountered one whose
presence caused her cheeks to pale and
her heart to temporarily stop It's beat
ing. It was her son, her good and we'll
beloved boy who for years had been her
pride and support for a moment she
was speechless, but at length bursting
into torrent of tears in which the pris-
oner Joined, she said: go, my son, my
son how came you here ?" His story

its character, he, being on visit to New
York, had attempted to pass it, had
been arrested as chief of a gang of
counterfeiters, and having been identi-
fed as having endeavOred to circulate
it, was, in spite of all evidence of pre-
vious good conduct offered, convicted
and sentenced to serve out a term in
the State Prison. His wife, with whom
he was in constant correspondence had
aided him in keeping his incarceration
a secret from his mother, and had reg
ularly RENTED the quarterly allowance,
together with letters forwarded from the
prison by him. But for the unfortunate
visit the mother would have remained
forever unaware that her son was serv-
ing out a penal sentence for crime
never committed by him; she learned,
however, that by the rise of corner lots
he had been made wealthy man, and
when he should come out of prison,
which would be in few months, he,
through the skillful stewardship of his
wife, would find awaiting him the sum
of not less than 100000 in United
States bonds. Such are the vicissitudes
